college

When I go to college, I plan on going into the fire academy and getting my "associate's degree in firefighter-paramedic, firefighter-emergency medical services, fire science or a similar field." EMTs must be certified by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians so I plan on eventually doing that too. I am going to college for me because it is what I want to do and I will need to in order to do what I want to get money to provide for me and my family. Personally, I don't really care about It being a "party school" or being a big popular one. all I really care about is if it gets me the best education I can get for my career choice. I am really just looking for my parents and your (Coach Thrush) input because I don't really care about what very many people think about it. College will help me get to where I want to go with my life.

Thanksgiving

Image result for thanksgiving clip art     For Thanksgiving, I plan on going over to my cousins house and spending it with my dad's side of the family because my mom's side lives in Ohio. We usually watch football and people will also start gambling and getting drunk (which is when we leave). For the rest of the break, I will visit Sam Houston and hang out with my friends and family. I will also probably work some over the break so I can get enough money to take my mom to get a manicure with me. Tonight I am going to see Mockingjay. Basically, all I'm doing for the break is spending time with my family and some with my friends and boyfriend.

Jobs (Showbiz Theater)

I already have a job. I work at CiCi's. It is a very easy job because all I have to is make sure the salad bar is fully stocked and neat, same for the pizza buffet, and make sure all the napkins are filled. It is actually pretty fun because all of my coworkers are nice and funny. However, if I had to do a different job, I would work at the Showbiz movie theater in Waxahachie. I think it would be perfect for someone my age because that is also an easy place to work at. All you would do for a while is clean the theater, but over time you would be able to do several different jobs. There is the cleaning crew, which I already talked about. Then there is the person who sells the tickets which I heard was actually really boring. There is also the person who collects the tickets. I feel like this job would not be too bad. Then there is the concession stand, I'm sure that one would just keep you very busy. There are also a few other jobs, but those are the main ones. I think it would be perfect because you won't always be doing the same thing and get bored with it as easily. Being teenagers and all, I would really enjoy the free movies. You would get in for free with one friend, and your family of four. I think that these employee benefits would definitely make it all worth it.

Homeless to Harvard

I thought the movie was really good. I liked how it showed us all her troubles through her whole life and how she kept her head held high. I don't know about anyone else, but the movie didn't really make me pity her that much because I don't really think she was asking for anyone's pity. Instead of looking for everybody's pity, she would always look forward. I guess you could say she would kind of look at the bright side of things because she knew life couldn't really get any worse.What I really liked about the movie was Elizabeth's determination. Although her life was horrible for so long and she became homeless by the time she was 15, she got her life together and did what none of us would even think was possible. We all struggle with maintaining A's through our 4 years of high school. However, not only was she an A student, but she was top of her class and completed all of her high school credits in half the time we do.

College Budget


   I knew college would be extremely expensive, so I wasn't too surprised about the budget. However, the budget is one of the reasons I chose to go Navarro. I think that once reality sets in, I'll be ready for all the other responsibilities. All, I think I can really do now is get a job, and try some scholarship essays.

My 5 career choices

My very first career choice is firefighter and paramedic. I've always had a fascination with first response units and thought that would be really cool to be part of. I decided about two years ago that this is what I wanted to do with my life when I grow up. My second choice would be being a flight attendant. I don't really know why, but I feel like that would also be something I would enjoy doing. Something I've always wanted to do, but I don't think I would have the time for if I became a firefighter and paramedic would be horse boarding and training. I have always loved horses and just that type of stuff, so, if I couldn't get any of those other jobs, this would definitely be something I would start doing.

Stress

I got a 14 out of 24 on the stress quiz, that basically means I am very stressed out. I often get very stressed throughout the school year. I think what stresses me out the most is how there is just too much going on when we get back in school. There is a lot of work that occupies most of my time from 7 different classes and I have to take priority on all of them instead of one over another, on top of that I have sports that I like to do after school to keep myself in shape. Outside of school, I have church activities such as youth, missions trips, drama team, and other youth activities. By the time I get home most of the time, I usually have to get started on my homework immediately. I usually don't get to sleep until 12 at the earliest on days like that (which is most weekdays). When I'm not busy doing school or church stuff, I like to try to make time for my friends. I think I just have a habit of putting too much on my plate and I can't handle all of it. Personally, I think that since this is my senior year, I will just be even more stressed out because this is the last year of high school and now I have to take college extra seriously. I don't really have a method of dealing with it other than just getting through the day and taking small bites at a time.

Organization

    Right now, my organization is alright and has been working for me so far. It's been working for me so far, but I guess my organization could be better. I procrastinate all the time. It stresses me out, but that's when i buckle down and get my work done. I am trying to work on that because I'm sure it'll make doing my work so much easier and better.

About Me



You know me pretty well, and you know that I want to join the fire academy at Navarro. I don't really know what all to post because just about everyone knows me either because we've been going this school for several years, or because of the prezi's that we did.
