Hello fellow freshmen, my name is Austin and will be graduating in the class of 2015. I am 14 years old, I enjoy skateboarding and basketball. I wasn’t completely sure about coming to foothill but I have liked it so far. I’ve made many friends and have gotten use to the small campus.

At foothill, my major goals are to be better at writing, learn more about Geography, and succeed in all of my classes. Right now, I am not the greatest writer but after this year I hope to be better and stronger at everything involving English. Also, I would like to learn even more about Geography because my family and I travel a lot so it would be even better to know about the places we are visiting. In the rest of my classes, I would like to continue to get good grades and learn more and more. At school, I am not involved with sports at school, but in my free time I skateboard and stay active outdoors. At Foothill I am in P.E. at the YMCA. I choose this because it will help me stay healthy and work-out to become stronger. It also helps me to stay fit and active, even at school.

While not in school, I am usually hanging out with friends or just relaxing at home. One of the bad things about coming to F oothill was many of my friends from middle school went to either Ventura or Buena. But I’ve already made friends and will keep in touch with my other friends at the other schools. But out of the friends I have at Foothill, they are who I'm with at break, lunch, and even after school. Having friends to interact with at school is important because they can help with your homework and to be with through the next 4 years of school at Foothill.

But you can't always let school get in front of your family. My family is very important because they've helped me through school and other problems through out my life. Without them life would be a lot harder. My family consists of my mom, dad, and my cat named Benny. My mom works from a home office so I'm with my mom most of the time I'm home. But on the other hand my dad is never home because he wakes up around 1am and works til 6pm. This why I always appreciate spending time with him. My cat Benny always wants to play and follows me around. Without my families support life would be a lot different.

After I graduate from high school, I want to go to college, travel, and get a good job. I would first go to college and major in either structural engineering or architecture. This is what I've been interested in for awhile. Also I would like to then get a good job involving engineering or architecture.Finally I would like to travel to anywhere in Europe because I have not been to any other continent.

In conclusion, the next 4 years at foothill will be fun and give me a great education. Also Foothill is going to set me up for college and my job. Out all of my goals, some might be challenging to accomplish but I'll get there.
