In the middle of 8th grade year my parents sat me down and said, “you are either going to Foothill or Saint Bonaventure.” I got really mad that I couldn’t go to Ventura with all my friends. In the back of my head I was praying that I got into Foothill so I wouldn’t have to go to stinking private school. Later in 8th grade year I saw clearly that my parents wouldn’t budge about their decision of me going to Bonaventure or Foothill. So I was very confused on how I should react. I didn’t know if I should react by rebelling against their decision or to live with the path they had laid out for me. My rational side head said that I should go to foothill because it would be the best way for me to go to a college, and that I would get the best education here. My head also said that I should go to a small school because I function better at a smaller school. In contrast my heart said that I should go to Ventura and be with all my friends. It also said I should go to Ventura and get the full high school experience. The main thing my heart said was that you can’t go to Bonaventure it will be so horrible. After my mom gave me thoughts choices I researched Foothill Tech, and I started to like Foothill a lot more. I figure out that I could play sports at Ventura there fore I could have a social life there. I also liked it more because I could go to any schools dances weather it be Ventura or Buena. I didn’t even bother looking at Bonaventure website because it would just make me pissed. I sat down with my parents one more time tords the end of the spring break. My parents then told me that I got into foothill and I didn’t have to go to that dreaded pit of hell called private school. They gave me a choice between Bonaventure and Foothill. My parents tried to get me to go to Bonaventure, they even bribed me, but I said, ”NO!” So I ended up at Foothill Tech. I am sad that I do not get to see all my friends at Ventura. But I still get to have a little social life and see them every day for sports. Overall I think I made the right decision for my education, and my parents well being.
