The Sick Life

.

Ever get those days where you feel really sick and don't want to go to school? Well yesterday was one of those days. Sleeping in is the best, but after getting up for awhile you start to get really bored. I know that students always rave about how nice it is to miss school but is it really that nice? You have all of the make up work and sometimes you get the work and you have absolutely no idea how you do it because your teacher already taught it and you missed it. This is why I really do not like missing school, but I guess not everyone feels the same way.

When walking into some of my classes I felt so confused. I really needed to go in after school and get help but I cannot get help from everyone so I was just in a sticky situation. So that night I went home and got out my books and studied my butt off just so that I would know what I was doing. It was definitely not fun but I mean I guess it is over now so that is alright.

To me, school is very important and if that means I have to study a lot, then studying is what I will do. I just like doing well in school, it makes me happy. It makes me feel like I have accomplished something for me and my future, and that feeling is great. Trying to do as well as my older brother is going to be very hard, but I hope to do as well as him in school. (275 words)

Future?

Soccer tournaments are what make me smile everyday of the week when I know they are coming up. Soccer tournaments are the reason why I know exactly what I want to do in college. Although I am the young one, it is still my main goal in life. I would love to play division one soccer and take after all of my brothers, but I am not sure if that is what I will end up doing. It makes me sad when I think about college. I will no longer see all of my friends almost everyday of the week, and I will not be as caught up as any of my friends that are involved with soccer at all just because of my age. I am also very challenged in school because I am in smarter classes and it is a ton of work and I barely have any time to just chill out or just go play a nice game of soccer without being stressed.

When I was twelve years old I was debating whether or not to go into high school at such a young age, but my parents said that they would not let me go back to my own grade so I had n choice. To be honest I would have loved going back into my own grade because then I would have friends that are my age, school would not be so hard and time consuming, and I would be way better at soccer compared to what I am to the older girls I play with now. Just thinking back to that day makes me sad because my parents did not even ask me what I wanted to do. I know that were trying to do what is best for me, but if I ever wanted to succeed in soccer, then going back to my own grade would be my best chance. I am currently a junior in high school and I still have absolutely no idea what I am going to college or what I am going to study in college. This worries me because I really need to figure this entire thing out before it is too late. I realize that I still have some time, but if I keep thinking that than before I know it, it will be too late. I just hope that I will figure it all out so that I can be stress free. (409 words)
