Music....

What is so great about music? Well, music is what makes people go throughout their day in a happy fashionable manner, that we can all relate too. Just think about how a day without music would be like. Music put us in good moods, and reminds us of memories. When there is a song that come on the radio i enjoy, i begin to rock out to it, and it just brings joy and a sense of fun crazyness to me.

Bayshore High

For the past 3 years Bayshore High School has been Graded as a "D" school. That is totally and 100% inaccurate. Here at Bayshore High strive our best everyday to make a good name for ourselves as a School and better yet a family. First off from what i've heard we are only a D school because those kids that score low on the FCAT do not improve the following year. But as for everyone else here at BHS we are very smart and i feel like being put as a D school may make us look bad to some, but we need to understand that we come to school everyday to learn and at least i know that i'm trying to make a difference, so you should too. Most of our teachers here are GREAT , but i do believe that there is some teachers here that really don't teach , and it hurts the students in the long run. I think if i was principal there would be some minor changes to the school. First i think that Kids that are doing the right thing with Grades, Home work, Dedication to extracurricular activities for the school should somehow be rewarded. The tardy rule should be enforced harder. Hats should be allowed if your GPA is 2.8 or higher.Ipods should be allowed when teacher is done instructing, as long as its not a distraction. There needs to be more school spirit signs around, and people need to get involved more. Kids also need to go around school saying positive things about BHS not negative things. All these simple things would really make BHS a great place to go to school.

What if?

What if everything we dreamed and wanted could happen? Imagine just being able to choose the exact life you want to live. As little kids we all think about what we want to be when we get older, but that's not always how things end up. Just think if i wanted to be a professional football player, or a millionaire or a really famous person, i could. This would be unbelievably surreal. Everything in life would go just like we wanted, and all of our dreams would be met. But is this really a good life, that we would want to live? I mean honestly, everyone may think this would be so fine and dandy, but is it really? Life is the way it is, so that only certain people have the skill and ambition for the job they choose and the path they take. I often sit and think about all the what ifs in the world, But then i think that i am the way i am and god has plans for all of us. Living the perfect life that you would like to live, would get boring really quick. How would you know what it would feel like to not always being able to do exactly what you want, if all you experienced was exactly how you wanted things to be. Then you wouldn't feel the satisfaction of hard work and dedication, which comes along with reaching your goal of what you want to do in life. Life is the way it is for a reason and we shall not complain, just work harder on what you want to achieve in life.

Obstacles

We go through many obstacles in life, that we will need to overcome. Are life then reflects on the choices we have made to conquer the obstacles.

Senior year is definitely alot of work. Full of obstacles,hard work and dedication. Its far more different then i expected, since most people say that its a breeze and you can sit back, have fun, and enjoy it. Don't get me wrong , you can have fun and enjoy it but there's alot of work and dedication to do first. For me right now, i am freaking out because im trying to get all my college applications done before the deadline. That means i have to write essays,fill out dumb paper work , and write up resumes. Life is so real senior year when you start to realize that you are that much closer to graduating and actually being on your own. When you are on your own then you cant rely on mom and dad for most things anymore. Its just definitely a wake up call. I suggest that since there is so much work to be done senior year,it would be a good idea to go get a big planner/calender marker-board to hang up in your room. This will allow you to be organized and have all the important dates for you to see, so that you are not so stressed when it comes to time. I have finally noticed that having the quality of being organized is so vital to school, and work. Besides the college applications , i still have to take my ACT in a couple weeks. This is huge because it will be the deciding factor in whether i get into the college or college's i want. Like i said, senior year has many obstacles, and like the quote says; When those obstacles arise,you change your direction to meet your goal;you do not change your decision to get there.

Words of Wisdom

Lets go all the way back to freshman year. Yeah, it is a been a long time . So were do i begin? hmm i think that freshman year is just as exiting as you final year in high school as a SENIOR!

The thing about freshman year is that it is the first year of your grown up life. It is the foundation and starting line for high school. Most of your life looks back on these times and the choices you decide to make. I don't think there is anything major i would have done differently, because i really like the way my life is going now and the choices i have stuck with. Of course there is somethings you kinda wish you would have done differently like playing another sport, trying to get that A in a class instead of a B, but oh well you cant change anything and your life is now what you have made it. I honestly don't think i have made any bad choices? like i said Im glad about how my life is going. Yes you are a Freshman. Don't freak out the world hasn't come to an end. Its just the first step you take in becoming a REAL person. So listen up! If i could give advice to all of you freshman out there, here is what you should know. Like one of my favorite teachers once said, Be WHERE your supposed to be , WHEN you're supposed to be, Doing WHAT you're supposed to be doing. If you follows those 3 simple W's then you should be just fine. Make sure you don't get caught up in to many things, you should just go through high school enjoying yourself but also managing good grades. Trust me if you do this then you will definitely enjoy it. With that said welcome to High School Freshys your life has just begun!

Its Finally Here !!

Ive always dreamed and envied at the moment when i will get to walk across that stage in June as they come on the intercom and say my name, "Garrett Causey!!". That's right senior year is finally here and I'm now looking back on how fast life goes by. We grow up so soon and need to be able to take in everything and reminisce about all the good and hard times we went through in high school. I can remember when i was in 4Th grade thinking about how much time i had till 12Th grade. I just really didn't think this would all go by so quickly. Just yesterday I was trying to finalize my College application for Florida State University and its just so surreal that i will actually be going to college in less than a year! This year i have definitely set goals and aspirations for myself, such as Keeping my GPA up and not slacking like a normal senior. I also would like to be a leader on the baseball team and help are team as much as i can so that we can have a goal again to be playing in may for the district championship game, just as we did 2 years ago. I would really like to get in to FSU , USF or possibly a small junior college for baseball. I have definitely started to hang out with friends as much as possible so that i can make this year a memorable one full of good things and fun times. I want to try and avoid being the person who makes bad choices, end up doing something they really wanted and having things end up differently than expected or as planned. Senior year is finally here...SENIOR YEAR IS FINALLY HERE!!! So let your life reflect on it and enjoy every second of it, because there is only 1 senior year and its a time you will look back on as your life progresses.
