media type="custom" key="23940972"Me going to Foothill? I thought that would never happen. I wanted to go to a big high school with lots of people, since I have been going to a small school my whole life. When my mom put me in the lottery for foothill I wasn’t even in California I was in Florida with my friend, so when I got in it was a huge surprise. I was really mad because I had no say in what high school I wanted to go to. But I knew that Foothill would be the better choice for me, and eventually I would figure that out.

Making the decision to come to Foothill did not involve me at all. My dad was totally fine with me attending Ventura, it was my mom who made the choice. My dad thought since everyone in my family went to Ventura it would be alright if I went there. The big deal was that my mom wanted me to be the first in my family to go to a university. I'm not going to lie I really want to go to a good university. I thought about where I should go and I knew foothill would be the right choice in the long run.

The first day of school I was really nervous, I thought for sure I would get lost but luckily I didn't. At orientation my "FIRE" leader Susy was super nice. She makes everyone laugh during AVID. When we were told to go into groups I was super scared because I didn’t know anyone. When we went into the classroom we all sat down and introduced ourselves. Then we played a lot of name games. After the second game I knew everyone’s name. When I ask my friends about Ventura they don’t say much about it.

Now that I have been going to Foothill I know that I have made the right choice. I am really glad I came here, because if I went to Ventura I probably would not fit in. I have made so many new friends this year. The one bad thing about Foothill is all the homework. But sometimes I don’t have that much. My classes are really good, I like all my teachers they are really nice. I feel really comfortable here because I feel like I fit in. I don’t have any regrets because everything happens for a reason. I am so happy I got into foothill I know that I have made the right choice
