High School Reflection

1. Describe your view of life beyond high-school.

I think after high-school, my life is going to be pretty great. I am very adamant about becoming an architect, and designing houses, but I think right outside high school, I really want to travel. I am very excited to go out and see the world for myself, and I cannot wait to see all the various types of architecture that is around the world. I do want to attend Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and that is defiantly my first choice of school. I am really excited about graduating, and moving on with my life. I know that it is going to be here before I know it, but I know that there is a lot of work needed to get where I want to go, so I am willing and ready to start now.

2. What questions do you have about our world? What do you wonder about? What are you moved to go out and do or learn about on your own time?

I think that our world is so big, and vast, that I want to really go out and see as much of it as I can. I love airplanes, and I love traveling, so I want to take advantage of that. I also am half mexican, and I’ve been taking spanish classes since elementary school, so I think going to a spanish speaking country, and fully learning spanish, and learning more about not only the mexican culture, but also different cultures, would be an amazing experience.

3. What do you imagine yourself doing after high-school in terms of work or a profession?

I hope that after high school, while in college, I am working somewhere cool. I guess you could call me somewhat of a nerd, but I would really like to work maybe at the Apple store, or like a Verizon Wireless store. Many of the people that I talk to about working there love what they do. I think that since I am such a social person, and that I am good at learning things quick, I would do pretty good there. I’ve always wanted to work in a place like that, so I am hoping that I could one day work at a place like that.

4. Describe your plan for achieving your educational and career goals.

I am defiantly planning on staying as organized as possible to achieve my educational as well as my career goals. I think that being as organized as possible is really what will keep me going. Everything I do, I try my hardest to stay organized, and write things down. This would work for my school and educational goals, and my career goals. I have worked hard all through my high school career to stay organized, and I think that it has helped me, and it will help me in the future as well.

5. What qualities or characteristics did you see in the people around you that you want to develop in yourself? Why?

Being at High Tech High, I really see so many people who are great at speaking well, and presenting problems and things of that sort. I think in any case, I would say that I would want to incorporate those skills in myself, but since I’ve been here, I think I’ve done that really well. Being around teachers who work hard, and know how to have fun, but also learn and teach, really rubs off on you.

6. How do interpersonal relationships and/or collaboration influence your understanding of your life outside of high school?

Many people outside of high school, play a big role in my life. Many of my other friends don’t go to High Tech High, so it’s different for me. I think that while those people play a big role, I really know how to be smart about who I am with. I know that my friends will always have the best interest for me, and they will help me through any troubles I might have.
