The Future - Keanu Gomez

There is no doubt that this year has been one of the most stressful years of my life. It seemed like everything I have done in high school up to this point has been building up and has reached the climax of junior year. Walking into it, I knew it wouldn’t be easy and I fully expected much more needed effort for success. But for many reasons which I will not mention, it has proved to very difficult to find a balance between my life in and outside of school. So far academically, I have had few successes and instead much failure.  I tried to get into GSP and GSA this year, but I didn’t and I blame myself for not really putting as much effort into them as I could have. But I mean, I really tried to choose between being miserable as I stressed through those rigorous application processes or being happy as I focused my energies on something more entertaining. As for successes, I just hope that I passed all of my AP exams with at least a 3. In the summer, I hope to get a job and continue advancing my driver’s license since I’m currently still stuck in the permit phase. I hope that senior year will be much less stressful and I will strive to get accepted into a college that I like.
