Hi, my name is Christine and I am a freshman here at Foothill Technology High School, class of 2015. I am ecstatic to be out of middle school, however, I would much rather be at Buena. Foothill was definitely at the bottom of my list of high schools to attend. I have a long list of goals to achieve for the next four years and beyond.

My goals for school and academics, consists of many aspects. I want to maintain a 4.0 GPA, become a better writer, and be accepted into a good university. I was also never good at math, and I hope to strengthen my skills and understand it more easily. For college I plan on either staying in California or going somewhere on the East Coast. Some schools I am considering are, Columbia, UCLA, and Berkely. Once I’m in college I will pursue my goal of either studying in the science or medical field. I chose these subjects because they appeal to me the most out of all the main topics.

My family and I aren’t as close as we should be, but I hope to gain a better relationship with my mom and dad. My sister, Nan, who is seventeen, is the one I’m closest to. She’s someone who I can call my best friend and who is always there for me. My brother Alex, who is seven, isn’t as close to me since we have a big gap in age difference, but I try my hardest to get along with him the best I can, even though he can get really annoying sometimes. I don’t get to see all my family everyday due to distance reasons, but I plan on staying in touch with them, now and through the years down the road in life.

Friends play a huge role in my daily life. I would be nothing without them. Going to a new school would mean making new friends and holding onto some of the old ones. My best friend was going to Buena which meant I needed new friends that I would see almost every day. Aaddya and I have become close again since elementary school. We never really talked through out middle school, but this became the case for many that I am now friends with today. My thought of no one from middle school becoming close to me changed. Close friends from Balboa are still important to me though. I’m going to try my hardest to keep the strong relationship I had with my middle school friends, but not hold back from meeting new ones.

Now and through out the rest of my life, I try my hardest to eat healthy and exercise. Athletically wise, I want to pursue my goal of becoming a professional ballerina. I’ve practiced this skill ever since I was a young toddler. Stepping away from this sport for a couple years made me eager to step back into the ballerina world. I used to live and breathe ballet. I hope one day I can become the best ballerina and be known for it.

Thank you for listening to my speech. If you see me around campus, say hi. Enjoy your freshman year.
