Looking Forward

Today I finally had my senior meeting with Mrs. Long. I probably had the longest meeting out of all the students, it lasted over two hours! Before today, I was entirely unsure of where I planned to go to college or how I was going to go about it, plan for it, or apply for anywhere. Now I know where I am going to go, how to get started with it, and how to get where I want to be. It made me so excited for what is going to come after high school instead of it intimidating me as it usually does. We also talked a lot about my personal life as well, she seemed to be very interested about how things where like at home for me. After talking to her about how I live and work, and my circumstances and so forth, she seemed to be very concerned about me. She was trying everything she could to make things work out better for me than they have been. Which has led to an entire schedule change in order to come to school in the morning, take the 2 classes I need, and then leave so I can work. Unfortunately, this means that starting next semester, I will have to go to a different English class. I don't want to change necessarily but I know it will help me tremendously. Things will be a lot easier on my and it wont be so hard to juggle my 40 hours of work a week along with school since I will be able to start working a little earlier in the day. It's a little bitter sweet.
