If you were to walk in my shoes for one day, you may feel a bit overwhelmed and have a mind of mixed emotions. From waking up each morning to get ready for school, to heading straight to cheer practice right after school, to coming home and finishing my homework, to eating dinner and going to bed; this basically describes my life in a nutshell. Some may call it insane, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am Brooklyne Shepherd and these are my goals for freshman year and beyond.

I have several goals academically that I would like to achieve for freshman year. My goals for EDA are to be able to type on computers without looking at the keyboard and broaden my horizon by learning more about the computer than I already know. In biology, I hope to not struggle with the concepts and absorb them and remember all the components I was taught. In English I plan to lose me fear of speaking in front of large crowds and become a better public speaker. I also want to become a better writer. In math I hope to remember all of the mathematic formulas and maintain a good grade. I also hope that my mind copes with difficult lessons. In geography I want to learn much about the formations of the continents and countries. In Spanish, I hope to become a fluent Spanish speaker by the end of high school and understand most everything Mr. Sánchez says in class. Overall, I have many goals in each of my classes and I believe I can accomplish them with great success if I put my mind to it.

Friends to me are the people that I have put my trust in, people who support me, and people I know for a fact will always be by my side. My goal for freshman year is to stay close with my friends at different high schools and to make many new ones. I am so glad I have Alli, Gabby, Mackenzie, Bianca, Emily, Mallery, and so many others sharing my high school years with me. I hope to see Mel, Alyssa, Kamryn, Melissa, Sarah, Mackenzie, and many more good friends frequently. I hope to make memories with all my friends that will last a lifetime. I hope I am a good friend to those who do and do not know me. In conclusion, I have an extraordinarily crazy group of friends and could not live without them. I also have many goals about my family life that I hope to improve on throughout my freshman year. My first goal is to not fight as much with my older and younger sisters. I also plan to become more patient with my parents when they ask me questions. Another goal of mine is to be a good role model for my younger sister Chanelle. I want her to be able to look up to me and lead the path for her future goals and successes. I also want to try to talk back less, especially to my mom. When my parents tell me to do chores around the house, I want to be able to do them without complaining. All of these things listed are things I definitely want to improve on during freshman year.

Along with my many other goals I wish to complete, sports in one of the most important to me. I am a competitive cheerleader; not your typical sideline cheerleader rooting for the football team. No! I am a competitive cheerleader who goes to the gym sometimes four times a week, training, conditioning, and running my routines full out in preparation for competitions. My first goal would be to improve on my tumbling and try to move up a level every year; right now I am on level 4 known as the PLASTIX. My second goal is to improve on my flying skills by being an amazing flyer and becoming more flexible. My third goal is to one day (hopefully in the next 2-3 years) be on SMOED, which is level 5 and go to The Cheerleading Worlds with them. These are just a few of many sports goals which I wish to complete.

As you can see, my academics, social life, family, and sports are all major priorities in my life, which I hope to accomplish in the near future. I hope all of us freshmen do well this year and beyond.
