Expert

So I have talked to my expert on the topic of senioritis. My expert on senioritis is the drop out counselor because she knows what happens when senioritis takes over the mind. Her name is Mrs. Brown and she gave great advice on how to structure our project. She wants us to ask teachers about how senioritis affects the kids they teach, and then talk to kids with the senioritis and see why it is such a common problem. "Are these group of seniors all hanging out with each other?" We need to get to the bottom of senioritis and Mrs. Brown has influenced the way we are going to fight it off!

So one thing I learned from senioritis is that it kind of feels like you're charging up. It's almost as if the longer you put things behind you the harder you will work in the end. I have been so much more focused then how I was four weeks ago. If you charge up to long though it's almost as if you're burning yourself out. It becomes to a point where you know it's not possible to pass and I have seen it first hand. Seniors just decide not to go to school because they know they can't save there grades. I won't let that happen as long as I can try to maintain all my grades. I feel like senioritis is starting to make me age faster and I don't like it.

So on Thursday Cecilia and I talked with the drop out counselor. We did this for her opinions on what senioritis is and how to treat/prevent it. We got some good ideas and she helped structure our project. All we need to do now is finish our power point presentation for the juniors and ask Brock if he would let us present it to them. Cecilia and I know how crippling senioritis can be and want to make it a thing of the past. It's time for someone to educate PV on senioritis and end it there for good.

So now that I am finally getting on track and realizing that I am fully capable of passing senior year I started working on my online art class. I was about 45% done with it and to be on target I had to be at 78%. I was very intimidated due to the fact I was so behind in that class. So on Monday I decided to attempt it due to the pressure my mom is putting on me to graduate and it seemed like the more focused I became the faster I was going. This week alone I went from 45% completed to 80%. I am extremely satisfied because senioritis has been hitting me so hard. I know now how to overcome senioritis so Cecilia and I need to help the younger generation avoid the problem for good.
