                                My Autobiography



Before I came to high school , I thought that it was going to be hard. And I thought that I wasn't going to make it , I really didn't want to come too Pioneer because I felt like I wasn't even prepared for it . I would always get in trouble in jr high , because I was coocoo I really didn't care about school . the only reason why I would only go to school was just to see or hang out with my friends. I didn't want nothing that had to do to school.
 And here came summer ,I was really happy that there was no more school (: ! But then within a couple of weeks I got bored . There was nothing to do at home , because my parents would work everyday so the weekends were just the funest days that I had during summer -___-.   
 When I went to orientation for high school , I really liked it. So then all of a sudden I got interested in school. I think its cause I matured during the summer :D. I was really excited for my first day of High School. What I liked about my freshman year was that I got easy classes. And also I had better grades compared to 8th grade year. (:
 I liked all my classes because I mostly knew everybody in them :D ! And for the people that I didn't know I met them and they were all really nice C: I met a lot of people in my freshman year (: I like meeting new people c: Also I really got into school , and decided that I needed good grades and so I did (: And from that point I knew that I was becoming a better person , I even felt proud of myself (:  Till this day I am doing very well with myself and school :D
 I am still not sure of what I want to do for my future. But some of my interests are being a doctor( I still don't know what kind), or I would like to investigate crimes , and lastly I would also like to model but I know that isn't a really good career. My main dream is to go to a good university and get a really good job/ career that pays me a good amount of money. (:
