Hi! I'm Kelsey and I'm one of the four juniors in Sal's first period. I decided to take sociology this year because i guess i didn't have the time to take it next year. I'm on cheer at our school. As weird as it sounds its been a big part of who I am today. You could say it made me more "school spirited" than i already was (all cheerleaders are not born with an obsession for their school). It has also helped me to be more outgoing than I was when i was younger. The reason I became a cheerleader was out of inspiration of my brother, Mitch. He played football at our school and currently does in college. Being at all of his games made me fall in love with the sport, so decided to cheer for it.
My brother and I have recently (since he went away to college) become very close. I guess we depend on each other for a lot because we have no other siblings. I miss him all the time when he's away, but when he comes back we get back to the whole sibling rivelry thing pretty quick.
With the majority of this class being seniors its been making me nervous for the college process thats starting really quick. Everyone I've talked to seems very excited and sure of what they're going to do. I really don't think that's going to be me. I'm positive I'm going to college right after high school, the problem is what school I'll be at. I'm planning on going into pre-med or nursing school so hopefully I'll find a good program.
Silence is kind of a funny thing. I feel like I'm never around it unless its forced upon myself and the others around me. At state cheer competition last year our coach got very mad at us for some reason I'm still not sure of. She made us have a silent bus ride from the movies back to the hotel to get ready for competition. It's a pretty hard thing to stay completely quiet when you're in close quarters with thirty other girls that are basically family. When we had the silent moment in class last week, it made me remember this. I have to say it was easier to be quiet because i didn't know half of the class.
I never knew how much you looked up to mitch, kel! Now that i see it thought, i realize how inspiring he must be to you and i think thats really cool. About your slience thing - i totally agree. Right when we had to be quiet the first day, I thought of times when i was forced (like state last year). im glad we can relate to those things together :) i loved your post and cant wait to read your next one! - jord
ReplyDeleteps thanks for ur nice comment on mine XOXO
Cool opportunity for you to be in soc. Glad you took it. Hopefully, you will enjoy it and maybe learn from the seniors in there. Personally, what I would say regarding next year is that there is no right or wrong choice, so try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Whatever you choose, there will be positives and negatives.

ReplyDeleteWe can relate to the siblings. Me and my brother are always close when his away or even at home. No matter what we get into those fights. I too am surprised after all that time in the training room we never really talked about anything haha.
