Sarah+V.’s+FTHS+Decision

By the end of eighth grade I had the choice to go to Foothill Technology High School or Ventura High School. But honestly there was really no choice because my parents were making me go to Foothill. So now I am stuck at Foothill for four years.

In the end of my eighth grade experience I was a little sad because I knew I was leaving some of my good friends behind .Including my best friends. When I first applied to FTHS I was hoping for the slightest chance that I wouldn’t get in. I had talked with my parents about it and they always told me the same thing that I had to go to Foothill. Their mind was obviously set on me going to Foothill so I had no choice but to accept the fact that I had to leave my best friend in order to make my parents happy even though I wasn’t so happy in going to Foothill. Nothing was going to change their mind on this. Not even the fact that my brother was already at VHS.

In the beginning of the year, everything was going by fine I liked my classes and my teachers. On that fist day of school I woke up very enthusiastic to go meet my new teachers and make new friends and hang out with my old ones. But I still though about how it would have been at VHS with my best friend and half of almost all of my friends that are going to VHS. But why waste my time on stupid thoughts when I was already stuck at Foothill.

Foothill for me now is petty good. I have met a lot of new people and have made a lot of new friends. My teachers are really great. And I enjoy all of my classes. Especially my English class for Mr. Geib. I can honestly say that I do not hate any of my classes because each day they are more interesting. For example, in my health/geography class my teacher Mr. Miller who is letting people post up posters on his walls of Justin Bieber and One Direction. I think it’s dumb, but I like to see people’s reaction when they walk into the classroom and see all the pink posters of each celebrity. This school has made me feel comfortable with just being myself. It makes feel happy to come to school and see all of my friends and teachers. Foothill Technology High School is not as bad as I thought it would be.

In conclusion, I am happy to call myself a Foothill Dragon. And am happy with my parents, now, with choosing this school for me. Now I am ready to start and finish a great year at Foothill Technology High School.
