My Goals For Senior Year
    
     When you are in middle school, being a senior in high school seems like it is an

eternity away. I have had many dreams and goals for a long time and it is finally time to

actually turn them into reality. My number one goal this year is to be granted admission

to my top college. This process is tedious, but I hope to be successful! My grades are

also of the utmost importance right next to getting into college because most schools take

 a mid-year and final year report into consideration. I want to maintain a high grade point

 average. This will be a challenge because I am taking more AP classes than I ever have

before, including AP Statistics, and math is not usually my strong suit. One action I am

taking to achieve this goal is hiring a tutor for help after school and I am going to be

more proactive about staying after school with not just my math teacher, but all of them.

I am on the Varsity swim team here at Framingham High School, and with that comes

many goals. The qualifying time for backstroke in the State championship meet is around

1 minute and 6 seconds. Yet, my lifetime best time for the 100 backstroke is 1 minute

and 7 seconds. This year, I will train harder than ever in order to accomplish this goal.

      Joining the Debate Team is something that I have wanted to do since I have been a

student in the high school, but I never found the time and I have always been too nervous

 and fearful to get up in front of a large group of people and speak my personal opinions.

 Although the Debate Team meets during my demanding swim season, I want to make

time in my schedule to at least go to a few meetings.

     With all these goals for my senior year, I will definitely be exhausted! However, I

know it will be worth it when I am successful.
