The school year is ending soon. I feel that this year went by really quick. In a blink of an eye we will soon go to college. Recalling back to this school year there were lots of things that were good and bad that happened to me. So left memories and some left scars. Some of the major events that happen this year was the iTouch incident. Some other major things that happen this year was running track. I beat my personal record several times. I also sort of feel like I haven't accomplished anything big yet because college is right around the corner and I want to do something that looks great on my resume. So my parents, like every parent, wants me to go to a good college so they decided to send me to a SAT prep class.
At first I didn't really stress about it. However, I went there and took a practice test I panic so much. I didn't know a lot of the problems there and the only thing I understand was the math and that is because my math was considered above average so I didn't really sweat about it math as much. But reading and grammatical errors were my weak points so it made the test really difficult. In fact that was the first test I have ever taken that gave me a head ache. Later on, I found out that I had to live with my aunts for 8 weeks because the program is 8:30 - 1:00.
The program also cost a lot of money so I am expected to get a great boost in my SAT grades. However, I don't get it. SAT is a test that can get you into a good college but some colleges don't even look at it so why bother taking it. I also think that SAT is based on money too. Those that are rich and can afford sending their children to great SAT programs get the greater benefit. Those who don't might not be able to go to a good college because of their SAT score might just live a normal life. So the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
My summer is going to be one of the hardest summer I have ever gotten. I am going to be studying most of the time. I always picture myself as a young monk that goes up the mountain to only see a old sage and acquire his knowledge from him. I think this because I am going to be isolated from all my friends and I think when I do come back home from the SAT program my way of thinking will be so much more different. I will definitely change a lot over the summer. BUT if I don't get a better grade on my SAT exam I WILL be pissed. Wasting all that time, effort, and money just to only receive the same grade. I would be pissed for weeks.
Anyways I just came back from a track meet. I should be sleeping right now because these past weeks has hurt my body mentally and physically to much. I have two math projects, one French project, 3 parts to a history project, English assignments, 1 small chemistry project, and 2 days of track. I also had the 4.5 hour practice test on Sunday. I come home at 8 or 9 on track days and sleep around 3 every night. So you should know how sleepy I am. I also have to wake up early tomorrow...
