Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!

This course is based on the following course(s):
I decided to write about my experience in senior year and my educational epiphany
I speak about how senior year and circumstance changed my life forever
I started my senior year of High school very differently than the other previous 3. The air of the passing summer breeze felt different than most, I had an unforgettable summer etched into my mind and heart, almost connected in a synchronous manner, following the same rhythm as if it were a dance. The dance was called summer’s delusions, this dance made me feel certain that as school started with high spirits I would be passionate about submitting work and the satisfaction that comes with it. The summer was composed of a fling that led into early on in the year which seemed like it would be a romance from your cliche early 2000’s movie with a modern cringy happily ever after.
It starts at the beginning of my senior year where I would get really lazy to hand in work, and wouldn’t get any work done, maybe it was senioritis.
I go to guidance to ask for help because I fell into a depression where I cared about nothing, would go by my days with minimal effort or work being accomplished, I would do just enough to graduate and get by
The climax is at graduation when the principal was handing out the awards and I realize after not receiving any awards that I accomplished nothing throughout high school. I felt forgotten in the class of 2022 despite knowing everyone in my year
I spend the summer trying to figure out how Im going to progress in college and make sure I feel accomplished by the time I graduate. As soon as school starts I make a system that allows me to get work done and will help me organize my busy schedule.
The result is me starting college with a different mentality education than that of my previous years of school.
