Freshman year you enter high school and all you think about is your senior year and how much fun it's going to be and how glories it will be. But that's not the case at least for me. Senior year for me has been a little stressful and that might be a little bit because of the concussion that I am still suffering from but that's not all. Senior year you have to make sure you have all the credits you need to graduate. Really I am not even sure if I knew about all of this until it came down to the end of my junior year. Being a freshman seems confusing, but then you get to your senior year and you have all these factors, decision and choices that you have to make. From making sure you have all your credits to graduate, you still have to figure out if you are going to college or if you will go out and get a job once you graduate. Some seniors might not think that when your 18 you have extra responsibilities like voting, taxes (if your not a student). Us seniors are going to have to take care of our own health care and fill out a bunch of paper work. As a kid I always remember wanting to grow up fast and become an adult and now that I am almost there all I want to do is go back to preschool where life was so simple.

Not many people always realize how busy I keep myself even when I still feel bad and how I try my hardest to just keep going. From long school days and long assignments that role over to homework, two jobs, racing and just trying to keep up with everything else that life throws my way. Some people try to keep busy and some people don't, I am the person that wishes they weren't busy all the time but somehow I always seem to say yes and pack more things into my schedule. I am a person that likes to do so much and is always willing to lend a helping hand or do anything. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I just relaxed at some point, but it feels like I never have time. Some might say that hanging out with friends is relaxing and for some people it is but for me its just another thing on my schedule and when I talk about relaxed I mean having everything caught up in life and being able to have a week without falling back behind. But falling behind is just a part of it I guess. I always feel like I have something that I could be doing and wish I just didn't have to do anything but I guess that's just apart of life.

Never thought I would be back in preschool. Teaching at the preschool that I use to go to as a kid has been the best thing that could ever happen to me. Teaching tiny humans makes me happy. From the sweet moments with kids to the crazy moments I would trade it for anything . I never would have thought at the age of 17 I would have a job teaching. Everyday the kids make me smile and over time seeing their mile stones and how they grow makes me feel like I have made a difference.

As Race season ends and final point races are raced, we end up with champions. Over my nine years of racing I look at how much I have grown as a racer especially when it comes to points. Over the year I have finished in the top six in many of my classes. This year was definitely my year, in Juniors I finished in first place, in high school I finished third and in Run tuff I fished twelve. Since I am 17 almost 18 this is my last year of Junior drag racing. Ageing out this year of Juniors has made it so special to win my first championship and my third division championship in Juniors. Even though I am sad about ageing out of Juniors and not being able to race it next year, I am over happy with how I ended this race season.

Today is newspaper in a day and not only is it newspaper in a day but there is also 100 days left of school until graduation. Over my life in school I never thought this count down would be something I was looking forward to. But know in my senior year I am able to say that the countdown that seniors always talk about is real. I feel the count down gives us a since of excitement and reality of whats coming up. When there is only 100 days left what better way to spend it then Newspaper in a day. Newspaper in a day took a long time to get prepared for but over all I think it was a great success.
