As a junior in high school, I have changed a lot over the past few years. My biggest influences have been my friends and my family. I have a close group of friends that have taught me a lot about myself and I know I can trust them with anything. My family has kept me focused on doing well in school and to enjoy being young. School is my first priority, but I don't let it interfere with my social life. Most of my time is spent hanging out with my friends. I don't play any sports anymore, but I used to play soccer and I still love playing it.
After high school, I plan on going to college in any state but Illinois and study in the medical field. I love places like Colorado and California and want to live there eventually. I plan on getting a job where I can travel and earn a lot of money. I am quick to change my mind though and I'm sure I will several times when it comes to what I want to do after high school so until then I'm focusing on enjoying my last 2 years here.
