Last year at my middle school graduation, I had finished 8th grade and got my Call to Adventure to go to high school. I was excited to leave my school and have summer break. This was my end for San Elijo Middle and I knew I had to discover what lays in San Marcos High school.

My 8th grade graduation represents the Call to Adventure in the Hero's Journey because I was told to go to high school so that I can learn. I was uneasy and reluctant to go, but after some thinking I knew it was my destiny to attend high school. I had to learn from a mentor like my parents and brother so that I could be ready when I leave my known world of middle school and venture into a place I was unfamiliar of.

As my first semester of high school began it was much different than middle school in how teachers taught and ran their classrooms. Us students were given homework, tests, and quizzes to be completed and these were literally tests to see how smart and how I have developed my skills. These would prepare me for when I face the final exam.

Homework, tests, and quizzes are my threshold guardians in school because they are small portions of my semester that test me seeing if I know enough or if I will break and give up. They are threshold guardians because they are not too challenging and they are really just tests that will start my journey and help train myself. After I finished these I had to face the real threat that I was preparing all semester for.

As I was becoming a freshman at San Marcos I felt a little intimidated because it was a larger school than my previous but I was eager to see it. My first day I observed my new school and thought of what challenges that I will have to overcome. This was the beginning of my long journey in the unknown.

Crossing the Threshold for me in the Hero's Journey is transferring from middle school to high school because I knew little of it. There was a lot i did not know but after meeting with new and old friends I gained more courage and wisdom. I also seeked knowledge and got tips from my mentors that were my teachers and my older brother that has gone through this journey.

As the first semester started to dwindle down, finals week was nearing. It was a horrible thing, it tested us on what we learned from the whole semester and was crammed onto tests. I have heard of others that have gone through this and brought bad news, but I knew I must do it to complete my semester and get a good grade.

Finals week is the abyss in my Hero's Journey because it is the deepest, darkest, and hardest part in my journey where I have to face the shadow or test for me, and I worked hard all semester for this moment so that I can be succesful. I was challenged by the shadow, which was finals week. It tested me seeing if i would give up and I almost did.
