My Last Year of High School

            
             I am extremely excited to begin my last year at Franklin Regional. I am looking forward to the future but I will also miss the all great times I've had here. I think that this year will be very fun and enjoyable once I finish the college selection process. I can't wait to choose a college and prepare to take the next step in my life. I think senior year is a great chance to learn many new things this year about who I am and who I want to be. I also want this year to be one that I can enjoy with my friends and family before I part ways with them. I have made some really good friends here and I know that I will stay in touch with them for a very long time. .
             Outside of school, I enjoy many different activities. I am the captain and starting goalkeeper for the soccer team, and I also play for Allegheny Force in the winter and spring. Right now, I am trying to get recruited to play soccer in college, either at the Division 1 or Division 2 level. I also play the tenor saxophone and bass clarinet in band. I am the oldest of four brothers whose names are Jake (11), Nicholas (9), and Noah (9). Our house is often very loud and busy with all of our activities. I also enjoy playing the Guitar and writing songs in any free time I have. Over the summer I worked at Murrysville Golf Course, but now since most of my time is occupied, I mow yards in my neighborhood. I am a hard worker and always think that if you are going to do something, you should do it right or not at all.
             I have enjoyed previous English classes and have usually done well in them. I feel very confident speaking outside of class and I can usually defend my perspective in discussions. I am less confident in my writing, however, I still feel fairly confident in it. I have sent out dozens of emails to college coaches for soccer and I feel like I usually do a good job in describing myself to them. I decided to take this class because I want to improve my writing and speaking skill so when I go into college or to look for a job I will be prepared with whatever comes my way.
