24- Taylore Jordan

Junior year has been a roller coaster for me. While trying to maintain a job and my studies, it's been difficult but has helped to better me as a person. I feel so much more responsible and accountable for my own life. My one and only regret is that I didn't focus solely on my grades. This year is the most prestigious in the college accceptance process, and I really should have taken more time to study. I feel that my AP tests went well, and I had some wonderful teachers to thank for that. I didn't make the volleyball team this year, so I count that as a "failure", but it was certainly a blessing in disguise. I got a job over the summer and have earned enough money to buy my own car. It's a great feeling to be able to have my own money and earn things that I need. Next year, I'll be spending most of my time doing my mentoring project and preparing for college. It is all approaching so fast! I don't even want to think of it now; I'll be lucky to get through these last 7 days first. For the summer, when I'm not stressing out doing summer projects, I'll be working and going to the lake with my family most of the time. I'm looking forward to having more time on my hands. I'm going to try to reconnect with my best friend more; we hardly see one another anymore. Overall, I'm just going to take it day by day and enjoy the time I have before my last year in high school.
