Timothy+R.’s+FTHS+Decision

There was almost no doubt about where I wanted to go to high school. I knew I wanted to be at Foothill High. I had some friends there and I knew I would get a better education there. But even if I didn’t have friends there I would still have wanted to go. Foothill has everything I was looking for. The decision to come to Foothill was an easy one. The only doubts I had about foothill were when I made a ton of new friends right before school started, as all of them were going to Ventura. After many hours of thinking it over the deadline was approaching.

For the beginning of high school, everything went relatively well. The orientation was pretty fun, and the best I’ve been to so far. For the average orientation, you would expect someone would explain the rules and have all the consequences for not obeying said rules listed. I easily found my classes and the teachers were all nice. There wasn’t very much homework and the FIRE leaders were fun and helpful. Overall, it was a better start to the school year than middle school was. Everything went rather well.

Now I am a Freshman at Foothill. Everything is going beyond what I expected. The teachers are very fun, and are more into teaching the material than assigning extra homework. I didn’t have many good teachers in middle school, but looking back on it now, I would stay up late most nights just trying to finish all of my homework. At Foothill, all of the classes are on a block schedule so that means I have an extra day to work on homework in case I don’t finish, so I can get to bed on time. I have no regrets about attending Foothill at all, as It is full of opportunities to excel. The only down side is that I have to wake up earlier than I did in middle school, but even this can be a good thing. Instead of sleeping in late and feeling tired all day by wishing I could sleep in later, I have gotten used to getting up early, so I can wake up without any problem.

Overall, Foothill was the best choice. Aside from friends going to other schools, I can’t see how anyone wouldn’t want to come here, the teachers are nice and there isn’t much homework. I am glad that I chose Foothill and I am sure that my future will be better because of it. I believe this will be a great year.
