Within my first two seeks of school I had my schedule changed several times Because I had to retake my Algebra regents. Although I had already taken and passed An algebra regents and class in the 8th Grade my score was not high enough for colleges and I would need to retake the exam so for my first semester of Highschool I was removed from my art class and given a regents review class.

In October of 2018 I had the pleasure of being able to rescue a cat that was set to be abandoned. He is one of the most important aspects of my life and is very kind considering what most cats are like.

I was told I only needed to get a 75 on the regents and you have No idea how ecstatic I was to get a 77 on that exam. I was finally done with Algebra Or so I thought. (¬_¬)

With the new school year came new a new set of classes. While some were better than others I Had the pleasure of being put into my first Digital illustration class.

My first digital illustration class was an absolute blast. I had never used photoshop before and I was very intrigued on what to do in this class. It very quickly became something that I enjoyed an I excelled at this class to the point where the teacher was pushing towards applying to an art school for Graphic design.

One day in march I saw my friends for the last time that year without knowing it. It was a weird half of the year because i enjoyed being able to not talking to anyone as I liked being alone but after a certain point It got boring.

Welp after the "success" that was remote learning in 2020 it was time to start again

While It had seemed like something in the far far future it was time to begin the college process by building up ideas of what we wanted to and where we wanted to go. I was still completely clueless on anything surrounding college.

While I was unsure If I would actually go to college It was still something that I was thinking Over. I was considering other alternatives to college as I was burnt out from and had little to no energy left to even put to my school work.

Around Mid year everybody I knew was obsessed with the college process and started writing essays left and right for different scholarship programs meanwhile I never bothered to do any of these things as I kind of just figured that I wouldn't get them.

While it was a rough experience I somehow made it out alive and my grades still pretty in tact. The entire year Teachers emphasized the importance of Junior Year to colleges and it made it so that I Rarely slacked off because the anxiety of getting bad grades for college apparently gave me enough motivation to study.

For the very last time let it begin.

When I first received my new schedule for the school year the first thing I did was compare my schedule to other peoples and to my demise I discovered that I had classes with none of my current friends which is always a fun surprise

# data[].attributes.body
unlike most students I didn't have a dream school and didn't have the same motivation they had to go to college. Going away for college was nothing that I had ever wanted because the financial cost of college was something that worried me the most. While I was unsure If I actually would go I was still forced to apply to college and I ended up applying mostly to Environmental science programs and only applied to CUNY schools.

When I retook my regents back in January of 2019 I was told I only needed a 75. I scored a 77 But now I was being told that I needed an 80 and would have to retake it again. Words couldn't even begin to describe my anger because ain't no way that I had to retake the same test 3 times!!! They were however ultimately canceled.

This school year we were given many senior activities however any of these activities that were afterschool we kind of missed because at some point we were just waiting for the year to end. Also I won an award for AP Lit and completely missed the ceremony (Sorry to whoever nominated me). Oh and I also committed to a college

# data[].attributes.body
While I had already committed to a college I was left with the constant feeling of what If when I start thinking about applying to a School for Graphic Design and I plan on applying to an art school or two to see what would happen.

After taking all of my AP exams the school year was basically over. Teachers had nothing left to teach and we essentially sit here waiting for the days to end. With current plans to attend Hunter college to study environmental science and to apply to FIT for their Graphic Design Programs I sit here waiting for the year to end and waiting to see where life takes me.
