If you are senior, this term is very common for you to hear and even go through. From beginning to end of this year I have been a victim of SENIORITIS. My immune system COULD NOT fight it off, no matter how hard I tried. If you are wondering what this awful virus is well the definition says that it is a colliqual term used in the United States and Canada to describe the decreased motivation toward studies displayed by students who are nearing the end of their high school, college and graduate school careers. An example of the word in use: "I have a bad case of senioritis"
The symptoms include: procrastination, lack of motivation, a drop in academic performance, a desire to drop out of school, and "coasting", which is the act of going through classes with very little concentration or application of intent along with truancy and frequent tardiness
The medicine you can take: Graduate!

Blast from the Past !
Graduation is on Friday. I will be getting my high school diploma plus I am the Salutatorian for my school. I think that's a pretty big achievement.
To tell you the truth, even though I only have been in my school for 3 years, it might actually hard to say goodbye to everyone. I think I will genuinely miss both the students and faculty at my school.
Since I am part of the Class of 2011, I think the best way to go out is a look down memory lane. Just like a series finale on TV, it's time to say Goodbye to a 13 year long series, which lasted from Kindergarten to 12th grade (present).
Kindergarten: First School Experience- private school in Brooklyn. Uniforms, wrongful discipline but memorable friends. My dad's company invested in our class and we all got books published about us personally. :)
First Grade: Still there. My sister started preschool there and as well as my three cousins. We roll deep! Made a best friend named Taylor ( I still remember her like it was yesterday) I think even had 3 boyfriends. One at school, one was my next door neighbor, one was at church. Wow, I got around. I played piano, swimming lessons and did ballet. Everything was perfect ! <3
Second Grade: Parents decided to be separated. Moved to a public elementary school in New Jersey. Living in the suburbs was a new type of life; awesome school system, private school had me ahead of all the students. Easy making new friends- I even found a new best friend. I was living the good life, better than Brooklyn.
Third Grade: Learned Cursive, Mastered Multiplication/Division. Started tap and Jazz, more swimming lessons. Easy year.
Fourth Grade: The school year that changed my life. I started writing in depth essays, I even won 1st place for an essay contest in my town about Christopher Columbus. I have so much work from 4th grade, I definitely grew as a student. My hand writing got better, reading skills was off the roof, and the competitive me became to form. This grade we also started learning about health with girls and boys. I even got my ultimate wish come true, my mom was pregnant with my baby brother.
Fifth Grade: My teacher was a yeller. I think that's all I can say plus my brother was born !
Sixth Grade: Last year of elementary school! I became a published author. Everyone in the school had a chance to write a book and both my sister and I did. My book was about my life and etc. just like my blog :) I sold 4 copies. Kinda cool. I graduated elementary and was ready for the next step.
More to come :)
