“It’s stressful sometimes, I want to give up but I can’t, I even went to UCSD and I feel like it’s probably going to get even more stressful. Sometimes I want to do Foothills [online school], like some of my friends, but they don’t have any AP classes. I am currently taking AP Bio and AP Calc, which I am not doing so well in because I took Drama Production and during that time I fell behind and I haven’t been able to catch up since. I am also taking AP Lang which is okay at times, I was going to drop in the beginning but I stayed mainly because of a friend. I am also taking US History from a Chicano’s Perspective which is a dual enrollment class, it’s a lot easier than taking APUSH. Because of these classes, I don’t have as much time with my family. I wake up, go to school, then stay after school for other classes, community service/programs and get home at eight. Then I do my homework and go to sleep. It’s definitely put a strain because I always feel like I’m missing out when my sister tells me what she did. And every day I get text messages from friends asking to hang out but I have to say no because I have to prioritize school over going out … sometimes I work around it, but then I end up doing my work late at night.”
