Hi! I’m Stefan, and I’m a freshman at Foothill, Class of 2015. Although Middle School was enjoyable, I am glad to finnaly be away from all that and on to high school. And now, I would like to share my goals this year as a freshman and beyond. This year, I’m aiming for a 4.0 GPA, but a 3.5 will do as well to get a good start for my 4 years at High School. I also want to stay on top of my homework, study hard, and ace those tests. After I graduate high school, I want to go to USC, so I can become an engineer like my father. To do so, I will need to study hard in geometry and calculus so I can advance through the process of becoming one. I am always intrigued by the things my dad does as an engineer, and I hope that I can do the same when I grow up.



Making new friends at Foothill is also one of my goals as a freshman. While at Foothill, I want to make sure I stay in touch with friends at Buena and Ventura high. Making new friends at Foothill is also one of my goals as a freshman, so that my time at high school is a one of a kind experience. While making new friends here, I also hope I see many familiar faces from years of isolation. I hope that I can reconnect with my old friends and hang out with them sometime.

Some of my goals are also doing well in sports. While at Foothill, I hope to play soccer for Buena to further advance my skills in the sport. Soccer has always been my sport of choice since I was 4 years old. My goal as a soccer player is to make it to the Professionals and hopefully beyond. Soccer will always be a part of my life, and I hope it will stay that way forever. I am a very good swimmer but I would like to become an even stronger one, for I usually have a weak side swimming in the ocean. I also hope that I will eat more healthier foods. I hope to get started out as healthy as can be and keep it that way. I will work hard to eat healthy and live healthy, by cutting down on unnecessary sugary treats, and getting in more exercise every day. Health is a very serious matter, and I need to start treating it that way.

Some other goals of this year have to do with my family. I really want to make a change and make sure these next few years with them will be the best, because I can't spend the rest of my life with them. Another goal is to learn Serbian a little more fluently, so I completely understand everything people are saying when I travel to Serbia with my dad next year. Most of the time, I just listen for key words so I understand the topic of the conversation, but I want to learn almost every Serbian word I can to make my time in Serbia better than ever.

As you can see, I have many goals for this next year at Foothill. Thank you for listening to my speech. I wish you all good luck, and I hope to spend these next few years with you all.
