The "Future" Issue - 99 Volume 2, Issue 4

“I think my next few years at Juan Diego will be lots of
fun,” Freshman Mireya Zambrano said, “It’ll give me more
opportunities to be more involved with the school, now
that I know how most things work around the school,”
Zambrano continued. Being involved at JD is definitely
one of the things that will allow anyone to jump out
of their bubble and meet new people. “I expect my next
three years of high school to be just as fun as my freshman
year,” Freshman Cameron Anderson said., “ My sister
is graduating this year and my brother graduated last year
and both have told me that high school is by far better
than middle or elementary school, and I’m starting to
agree with them,” Anderson finished.
Despite wanting to accomplish quite a lot during
high school, many freshmen also fear having to
face tough trials and thinking about a future past
high school. “I worry about challenges that I know
are ahead and pushing through trails,.” Freshman
Alexus Quayson-Sackey said, “I worry about when
my years at JD come to an end and I have to think
about things like college and prepare for the next
chapter of my life,.” Quayson-Sackey finished.
Although it may be 4 years, high school goes by
so fast. Making the most out of those 4 years is
what is most important, especially learning to face
challenges throughout those years. Class of 2023
is definitely looking forward to a future past high
school, but also making more friends and enjoying
the last three years they have left here at Juan
Diego.
Looking forward to fun memories and meeting people
comes with challenges and fears for the next few years
of high school as well. “The only thing I fear is not doing
everything I want before the end of high school. I want to
make the most out of these years and I don’t want to run
out of time,” Freshman Elijah Earhart said.
