P.7 Kendall Cressman As of late, my daily struggle is committing. With the school year winding down it becomes harder and harder to stay focused in school and turn in assignments on time. This apathy for school could very well defeat me. If I do not pass College Bound English I will not graduate. If I am going to finish the year with a diploma in hand; I will need to survive the mental war being waged between myself and I. I need to make myself do my work regardless of how many other, more interesting, tasks I could be doing. If I can buckle down and finish the year strong I know I will be able to appreciate myself for it.
Everyday I struggle to look at others with families. Yes, I may have a big one but I do not have my mom in my life. Mentally, it hurts but I will never allow myself to been see as vulnerable. That is the other this I strive to make transparent. I do not want others of my class to view me as weak or feeble. I want to be seen as a strong, independent youth. Not knowing where your day will go or if you have a roof over your heads is something I would never wish on anyone of my class mates. This everyday strife is my struggle. Knowing that one of my classmates might go on to a better life gives me a joy. To see others succeed allows me to know that what I am dealing with will ease away with time. Battling this on my own is difficult but I can come to school and just let it melt away for a few hours. Its not fun but it would not be put on me if I could not handle it. I hope soon I will be rid of this impending burden, allowing myself to just live as most do.
As the year has progressed, the inner battle between staying focused and slacking off has been in full swing. While friends invitations to social gatherings are inticing, I will need to learn to put homework first if i ever expect to graduate. Everyday is something new toward the end of the year and for those of us that survive these are the days that we will remember. As the "best years of our lives" come to an end, we can all give ourselves a pat on the back and we all have the right to say that we survived.
MacKenzie Schwarz pd. 7 My focus lately has been to stay on task with my school work, graduation open house preparation, and work. With all these things to do, school work has been on the bottom of my list, when it should be my number one priority. Half-way through the school year, I decided to slack off much more than I should have, and regret doing so, and my grades reflect that. I survived mainly by my parents hassling me on getting school work done on time. So, I would have to say that inner-strive is overcome by my laziness, and that I have fixed doing so towards the end of the year.
