High School Is Like Ice Cream
High School is like ice cream. It can be
like rocky road, where you deal with
hard times (crunchy nuts), but if you
keep pushing through youll reach the
soft times (marshmallows), and overall
high school is pretty sweet. However,
there are times where high school will
just be gross like Mint Chocolate Chip.
Some Basic Info On Me
I am a normal smart guy who went to El Cap for 4 years. I
didnt want to come here but the administration didnt let
me transfer. Honestly, I was pretty mad when they didnt
let me, but now Im grateful because most of the teachers
are pretty cool and the people you meet here are also
dope. I have high expectations for myself to become a
professional athlete and surgeon. Im a Spurs, Packers, and
Dodgers fan. I can sing/rap like Bruno Mars/Kanye West, so
Im pretty good. In the end, high school was alright.
Why High School Is Important
High School is important because it is a requirement
for most jobs. Nowadays, whatever career would want
most likely requires a diploma, and a lot of them
require an even higher form of education. Other than
that, the state requires you to come here for
education. The more days you come, the more money
the school gets.

Year of Annihilation - Junior

2. Do Not slack off
3. Take as many AP classes
a. They are easy, dont believe what others say
4. Colleges look at this year very closely
5. Also, this is the time to start that you should begin (if
not earlier) looking for scholarships
Senior Year
1. Only 1 more year left!!!
2. The 1st semester is packed with college apps,
scholarships, and the SAT/ACT, so stay on top of it
3. You are the alphas, so set a good example for the
rookies
4. Go to as much school activities as can so you wont
regret not going after you graduate
5. Dont be ridiculous in applying for colleges, have a
realistic fallback school.
Options After High School
You have many options after high school. You can choose
to go to a trade school or college. However, college is
pretty expensive so you should apply to as many
scholarships as possible and apply to FAFSA. You can find a
job and not go to college. Also, you can enter sports drafts
if you have the talent.
My Future Aspirations
After I graduate high school, I am going to attend
whatever college accepts and I can financially afford.
I will then major in biological sciences and minor in
business. After that, I will apply to Medical school and
hopefully start my career as either a cardiothoracic
surgeon or orthopedic surgeon.
Personal Goals
1. Get Rich
2. Get on the Deans List
3. Dream Job (Surgeon or Pro Athlete)
4. Get Married
5. Have Kids
6. Relax and Live A Happy Life
Reflection
The past years have been alright, a bit depressing but
pretty cool too. No academic regrets, the AP classes were
just a ton of work but nothing I couldnt handle. Some
regrets I have include not asking a girl I like out or not
trying out for sports earlier in my high school years. These
years and accomplishments will likely be nothing but
memories in a few years.
