Districts

        The whole week we were wondering if we were going to make it to districts. we knew we were going to make it because of our record. What mattered the most was who we are playing. We trained all week when we found out that we were going to play Faith Christian. We actually felt that we were able to beat them, having Miles and Julio back.
      The day of the game, we were confident we had a chance with them. In the game we scored the first and I couldn't believe it. Then I actually believe that we could actually win and make history. Unfortunately they scored in the same first.
      It was a tough game and we were able to take them to overtime. In overtime, when i saw the ball going in the net, it played in my mind in slow motion and everything just was downhill.

Snow

            The night before it was announced in the new that it was snow the next day. I didn't really didn't listen because I asked myself, "Does it snow in october?"
           Woke up the next day because I felt colder than usual. I was still discombobulated when I decided to peek outside. To my disbelieve, the snow was coming down hard, making it look like it was already Christmas season. I went back to bed because I thought I was dreaming.
             Hours later, I came to a realization that it was actually snowing outside. I call like three friends of mine to make sure that this was actually happening. None of us believe it to but we ended up accepting reality. I went outside to visit my friend's house but it was crazy outside.Many people we falling and tripping in the snow, others were freezing outside and I could see the astonishment in people's faces

Preparing for the future

  I remember putting so many hours on my essay for college writing. reason why i did that because i wanted to use it for my college application essays. I wrote about my experiences in the summer and working for the soup kitchen. I learned a lot from the people I met. I did over 360 hours over the summer and people are astonished when I made that statement.
 I get my essay back and I'm feeling really confident with my paper. I got really disappointed when I saw the grade because my English teacher decided to go in, in my whole life. From then is when i fully comprehended what was needed in my essays.

Weekend

      After the incident with my swollen foot, I woke up the next day feeling a little bit better. I thought I was actually feeling good. During that night I felt as if i was getting a fever but I slept through it. The next day my hand was swollen and I didn't comprehend what was occurring. I visited the nurse to cure me, but she didn't also know what was going on. She handed me ibuprofen to heal me but it didn't happen.
     Woke up the next morning, my lips were swollen and couldn't believe the size of it. Starting freaking out when i looked at myself in the mirror.

Sick

                Before our west mount game, we needed to boost the moral up for the varsity soccer player for districts. This was going to the last game of the season and we needed to need to prove ourselves ready for the district competition. We came up with a plan after school to paint our cleats gold  and luckily, everyone was on board.
                We accomplished our goals of painting our cleats gold, except Bobby whose cleats were naturally gold. But unfortunately before the game , I felt a deep pain in the joints of my foot. As time went on i brushed it off. We ended up playing the best game of the season and winning 3 to 1.
                 On the ride back, I could feel my leg getting stiff and swollen. I then elevated my foot on my roommate's thigh(no homo). When we got back to school i couldn't feel my leg. This was the first time I felt such pain and I honestly think i was frighten a little bit. My roommate was nice enough to grab ice and pain reliever to relief me of my pain.

Sat scores

  This was the day of the sat scores. I was really anxious to see my scores when I woke up I was ready to check my scores. Knowing well that everyone was going to ask me about my scores, I tried to ignore it. Walked in my adviser's room and the first thing he asked was about my scores. I slowly checked my scores in it wasn't the best that i wish for but it was decent.

Home

             Being in school all the time I feel depressed. I always asked my mother,"When are you coming home?" "Never," said humorously claimed. I have for four years, try to convince her that the more I stay here every weekend the more I get depressed and that is a major negative factor in my academics.
            For instance those who have the opportunity to go home, have the chance to be involved with their families and most important get away from the CFS environment. They are able to come to another weeks of school, fresh and prepared. The same routine occurs and they do better in school.
           But for me, its a different case.Having friends and family back at home, I don't have that opportunity to visit them and keep me distracted from the work load i have at school. Unfortunately I am always here and depressed. I am never looking for another weeks of school which messes me up mentally.
