Ever since my older sister got into Foothill, I've known that I would have to come here. I didn't really have a choice, no matter how much I tried to talk my parents out of it. Now I’m stuck at Foothill, trying to survive these next four years.

 Again, I didn't really have a decision to go to Foothill; my parents forced me to go. I talked about going to Ventura many times with my mom, but every time she said no. And when I talked to my dad, he told me to listen to my mom. My sister tried to convince me to go here, but I still wasn't into it. Foothill’s not a bad school or anything; it’s just not for me. It would have been a whole lot easier to go to Ventura because of volleyball, since the Foothill players are sometimes looked down upon. I guess Foothill has a nice environment and everything, but I really think that Ventura would've been a better choice for me.

 At the beginning of the school year, I was not excited to go to Foothill. I’m still not loving it, but I guess I’ll just have to live with it. To be honest, orientation kind of freaked me out. It was kind of fun, but it really was just a little weird. Not like the game parts, just the meeting people parts. In my opinion, the average of normal people at Foothill is probably about 30 %. I know there are weird people everywhere, but it seems like most of them ended up at Foothill.

 Now that I am at Foothill, I guess it’s not that bad. I still don’t like it and I wish I was at Ventura, but at least I have my friends. Maybe if I work really hard, I can switch to Ventura next year. I’m trying really hard to find the positives here, but it’s really hard. I honestly don’t like Foothill at all. But I guess I’m stuck here for the next four years.

 In conclusion, I never wanted to go to Foothill. Who knows, maybe by the time I’m a senior I’ll actually like it here. But I seriously doubt that will happen.
