Junior year: meh-Assignment #24- Sam Chavez

Everyone said that Junior year was gonna be grueling and that I wouldn’t have any time to see my friends because i’d spend the weekends studying, and need sleep after every day at school. While I did study hard and usually felt like a nap was a great idea after classes, I found that this year offered a healthy balance between work and play that i’ve been told by my sister is similar to college. This year is the year I feel like we start to become more responsible for our in-school work and work more independently than any year previously completed. This year was full of things that made me want to stop working, deaths in the family, hard days, a car accident, but this year has taught me that temporary sacrifice leads to success in the long term. While I wanted to spend this summer with my friends and boosting my college resume, it doesn’t look like those will be as easy as previously thought. I was wanting to volunteer at the summer teen program at Baptist Health hospital, but Covid-19 has proven to have other plans. I want my senior year to be a combination of all of my previous years. Though the work will likely not be any easier, I feel that I have the knowledge and time management skills that my previous years taught me so I can tackle it with “ease.” I’ll report back and let you know how that goes.
