Hi! My name is Ciena N and I am a freshman at my high school in the class of 2014. An interesting fact about me is I have a bracelet of skulls but everyone thinks they are teeth. They are really made out of wood. I also have 25 jelly bracelets and a skull candy bracelet. I am excited to continue through high school and make some new friends. I want to keep my old friends too. This school is going to do me alot of good throughout the years. I want to go to college right after high school, even if i have to start out in a community college.

The first goal topic I want to start with is academics. I want to get at least a “C” in every class. Don’t get distracted in class! No passing notes…ever! Don’t do anything stupid or anything you might regret. I want to keep a good GPA, at least a 3.0. I want to go to CSUCI (CSU Channel Islands), or even a law school. I really want to be a lawier, but if I that doesn'y happen then I want to into something either involving music or art. School means alot to me, it should to everyone. When I pass a test in school it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I even get to have things at home if I do good on a test. YAY!

Next, I want to speak about my goals for my family. First, of all I don’t want to fight with my little brother as much. He is a fun brother but he does get annoying. Second, mom and dad, I want to understand their point of view better. I understand most if it but some things I don’t. Third, my grandparents, I want to help them out more often. Fourth, i want to hang out with my cousins more. My family means alot to me. When I am with my cousin Kelsy I can talk to her about anything. She even knows my deepest darkest secrets. I know alot of her secrets too. We are like twins, we can't be separated. Then, i come to my friends and social life. I want to make lots of new friends throughout high school.I have already made some new friends this year including Megan, Natalee, Stevon, Alexis, Emily, and Martin. I don't want to loose my old friends. I want to keep in touch with all of them. Don't start drama! Ever! Don't make enemies! Ever! Never have a bad reputation! Ever! To get specific I want to keep in touch with my friends Yessica and Hope. I still talk to them but its been a long time, just last Monday I surprised Yessica when I was in middle school to do community service. I didn't get to see Hope though.

Next, I come to my physical health, I hope to stay healthy all my life. In P.E Mr. Huffman is a really hard teacher but he is a great person. He is very determined to help us with our physical health. When winter comes I hope to make the girls basketball team at Ventura High School. If I don't its not the end of the world but it would be disappointing. I hope to become a faster runner. I am already fast but I want to be faster. I enjoy being with my friends when i work out. I also like to to listen to music when I run. I hate when i feel like I can't keep running when i still want to be.

So in the end I want to go through high school, with or without trouble in classes. High school so far is one of my greatest experiences. I love this school. and hope to go straight to college when I graduate from the best high school ever! I want to stay in touch with old and new friends when I graduate. I hope that everyone has as much fun as I have so far.
