The Future- Emily Chavez

This year has been the greatest year of high school so far. I've learned a lot academically, in addition to learning about who I am and who I want to be. This year I've definitely found some friends that I know I'll have forever. I've also strengthened relationships that started many years ago. 

My grades this year were a lot better than they were lastly, because I was a lot more focused and used my free time to study. Next year, though, I think I could be even more focused and especially want to work really hard at AP Calculus. Math has always been really hard for me and I want to push myself to understand the content of the class.

I'm really looking forward to applying and hearing back from colleges as I start to take the first steps towards my career in communications. I know it'll be really stressful and I'll probably want to cry most of the time, but the future makes me anxious and excited and I'm excited to start having my path laid out for me.
