Most Memorable Experience Sophia Danielle Martinez July 26, 2013

Journals Biggest Challenge:  My biggest challenge was keeping up in school, since I entered a month late because I had my daughter; I had so much work to do that it just seemed impossible for me; a single teenage mom to succeed, but yet I didn’t give up. Greatest Accomplishment: My greatest accomplishment up to this point is being able to be here at this moment presenting to you guys my senior exit interview. 1st & 6th Journals: For my first journal, I didn’t know what to say or write since I entered a month late; I had not experienced nothing at this point in my senior year. My most helpful journal was the last one because it helped me reflect upon my experiences and struggles throughout my senior year and how I learned to overcome them.

Post- High School Plans Community College-Porterville College/ Medical school. While attending Community College, get a part-time job (undecided).
