assignment 7 immediate goals

After I graduate I want to go to a community college to study graphic design or something else that interests me. The colleges I have in mind are Orange Coast College or Santa Barbara Community College . I don't know where I see myself in 5 years but for now I just need to finish High School. For my senior year I plan to get very good grades and try my hardest because It sure depends on where you will go to college.
   When I get out of High School is when I plan on getting my first job. I plan either to work at a store that involves skateboards or surfboards. Such as Jacks surf shop or jacks garage, or active. I am willing to work enough so I can move out and buy a car of my own.

   Next, After I get out of High School the first place I want to go Is the beach, then community college. I plan on either going to OCC or SBCC. I have heard great things about both school so I am pretty determined on my options. I have high hopes about going to SBCC though.
I think I would rather go there than OCC because I have stayed in Santa Barbara for a weekend and I can totally picture myself going there in two years. I only want a few classes for my first semester so I can hangout and have some freedom before I have to go back to school everyday. But until then Im focusing on my junior and senior year of High School.

assignment 5 my time at Back Bay High School

I arrived at Back Bay High School in 2011 of my sophomore year. I have been going here now for about 1 year and I very much enjoy this school. I came from Halstroms High School, but even before that I came from Corona del Mar High School. I like Back Bay a lot more then both of those schools because it is a very disclosed and small area to be taught which makes it easier.
      First, One of my favorite things about Back Bay would have to be P.E. In our P.E class you were able to either play basketball, kickball, flag football, or just simply walk around. Every single day I would look forward to P.E because you were able to get outside for an hour. P.E is where I sort of came out of my bubble and made friends and had a good time at school.
      Second, Another one of my favorite things about Back Bay High School is the way they run their system. Back Bay is the only high school I know of with no homework at all. Also there is less then half of the people here at Back Bay then there are at such schools like Corona del Mar and Newport Harbor. Which makes it especially easier to learn. Since i've been here i've made up an unbelievable amount of credits for me to go back to CDM. Because of all of Back Bay High Schools help I am looking at 4 to even 3 periods for my senior year which is incredible!
      Some, of the things I will miss about Back Bay will be the kids and the staff. Even since i've been here i've met a lot of cool people and especially teachers that say they will help me on my senior project next year. When I go back to Cdm I will for sure remember all the good times and teachers I was lucky to have while I was there.

Assignment 3 Your favorite things

Some of my favorite things to do is skateboard. When i get home from school one of the first things I do is jump on my skateboard and go to the skatepark. I've been riding skateboards since I was about 4, so everywhere I go i basically have to have my skateboard with me at all time. The reason I skateboarding so much is because it brings me at ease and joy whether Im riding down the street or at a skatepark. 


My second favorite thing to do is bodyboard. I love bodyboarding because I love the ocean. I go bodyboarding about once a week now because its winter. But In the summer i will be in the water everyday. The reason I like bodyboarding so much is because in my mind its similar to skateboarding in a way but its on a wave. I expect myself to keep up these habits for as long as I live.
