My desicion to come to Foothill would impact my whole life. I knew it was really important and that I needed to make my desicion with a lot of thought. So that's what I tried to do. It was about the middle of 8th grade when I knew it was time for me to start thinking about which high school I would like to be attending the up coming fall. I started thinking about all the factors in which school I would want to go to. I considered how good of a school Foothill was, but also how Buena had all my friends and the social stuff. So I put all of the factors into my head and started drilling. I obviously knew that FTHS was a great school and that it would greatly prepare me for college. I also knew that it would also prepare me for my future life and jobs I may have. BUt, I also considered how fun BHS would be and how I would never forget going to football games with all my friends. I also thought about how Buenna was not a bad school, just Foothill was better at preparing you for college. After thing about this for a day or two, I thought I wanted to go to Buena for that fact that it would be a great high school experience. But I knew that thinking about it for a day was suerly not enough to make a desicion out of. So, I started researching. When I started researching I started with the school websites. They gave me a lot of good information about both the schools academic goals along with some fun facts. But I wanted to get an inside look at the schools(or at least Foothill) before I went on. So me and my sister signed up for me to be her shadow one day at Foothill. It helped me A LOT in helping me to figure out what this school was about, and i really liked it. It opened my eyes to how great FTHS could be. To be fair though, I also talked to some people going to Bunena about how they enjoyed BHS snd how they thought what kind of school it was. Ten, it was time to decide. I knew I had to make a desicion, one that would effect the rest of my life. So, I talked about it with my dad. He obviously was biased with Foothill because my sister went here and she did SO WELL. I tried to fight with him on it, but he was set with me going to Foothill. It was unfortunate that I didn't have more of a role in completely desiding what school I wanted to go to in the end, but I remain happy with the result. At last it was decided!I knew what school I was going to and could finally relax. All that needed to be done now was to finish off the rest of my time in middle school, and start the great adventure that is known as high school.
