High School.

So today I went into the kitchen and my sister said “Hey Rachel, I’m going to tell you this because your entering high school, and I think I’d be good to start doing some community service, it’ll look go for when your applying to colleges.” And it hit me, I’m entering high school. Everything from now on actually matters. I mean middle school, and elementary school grades don’t really count for anything besides your class placements. I’m aiming for strait A’s, ha i know big goal, for me especially. I’m an ‘A, B’ student, occasionally c, usually during the end of the year when I get lazy. But i mean, i got those grades and the classes were so easy. And now its going to be different. High school has way higher expectations, it’ll be a big change for me. Especially because I’m going to a private school they’re much more strict.  Now as for my grades, its not like i don’t understand what we learn, its more like i get lazy with my work.  ya’ know?! I’m fully capable of getting strait A’s, I’m a smart kid. I just didn’t have enough motivation, to get me there. But thinking of it know, i have a lot of things to motivate me. i mean i want to get to a good college, so i can get a good job, and so i can have money to support a family when I get older, and this way I can get anyjob i want so i can pick something I enjoy. Also i want to learn a lot =] hehe, i want to get as much out of life as possible. I want to be one of those people, that just know tons of things.  you know?! I like learning =] My dad is going to help me concentrate on school, he’s going to keep me on check, take away some of my privileges, which I’m probably going to hate, but i know it’s for the better in the long run, because that’s all i really need, someone to tell me to get to work… (:
