Lauren+H.’s+FTHS+Decision

media type="custom" key="23947370"When I first got the message from my parents saying I'm going to Foothill I was happy but also frightened, mostly frightened. This was around the time I was finishing up middle school and what I thought would be a chapter in my life I actually liked. I would also leave behind most of my stuff that I thought after awhile was useless.

I feel the decision was made by my parents without my input so I have no clue what they said in their conversation but I guess they felt it was the right choice. I was notified about how I will be advancing to Foothill when my mom was taking me home from middle school. At first I was kind of like "meh" but then I felt like, after a tour on the FTHS website "oh poop". Then summer vacation came and I still was worried about Foothill (I thought it was military but in a kid friendly environment) but I managed to not go insane. Summer Vacation was one of the few parts of the year where I'm home with no work and still a lot of stuff happens, like when I got a tablet. Another thing that happened at Summer Vacation was when I met with Peggy Adams (before she moved) at Rocketfizz (a store that sells only candy and soda). It was fun. For the last few days of Summer Vacation my family and I went to the fair (that fair that comes only around in summer). That's where I got my mini backpack (it was a Heartless from the game "Kingdom Hearts"). I also rode one of the rides there called "The Magnum" with my dad (never going to ride that again). Also for the final day of Summer Vacation we went to a restaurant called "The Outback" to celebrate my last day when I was still a middleschooler.

The beginning of the school year was when I was expecting the most of the worst. For the first few minutes of FTHS orientation all I was thinking about how was what people will think of me. In the end, the orientation was a happy surprise for me. After orientation was when my dad's printer broke so we had to buy him a new one. This was the time I bought the game "Kirby's Epic Yarn" and came to love one of the bosses from said game named "Squashini". This was also the time where I discovered a lot of stuff on the internet I was interested in like "Homestuck", "Megaman" and "Batman". I even made some characters for these groups of interest. The first couple days at FTHS for school was when I felt the most anxious and confused. I felt like I was going to explode, but I managed to keep my cool.

FTHS for me now is alright, I hope it continues to be great for me. I don't really have a lot of regrets but one of them is not saving some of my artwork that I accidently threw away for future reference. I feel very comfortable in this school. I met some of my old friends and made a new one who's an artist like me but more talented in many ways. I don't really feel that much different than before except more easily stressed. Overall Foothill for me right now is pretty great.

That's all I have to say really. Nothing special other that I hope you all have a great time at Foothill.
