1 1.she learned to never let family issues affect your education in school.
2. Those that distract you from your schoolwork are not truly your friends.
This helped me a lot cause i got my work done and now look where im at i went on to go study at SDSU.
2. I would want to go back and change her procarastinating habits and stay on time and on track.
3. I learned most from Mr.Mendola. He focused more on us understanding the whole concept then learning or memorizing it just because.
4.my advice would be to learn how to take responsibility of your homework,because teacher dont ask you where is your homework.Also in college your entirely on your own.

My autobiography
Hello my name is Isabel Marin. I am 13 years old, soon to be 14 next month on September 10th. I'm currently a freshmen at Sweetwater High School. I was born in San Diego, California. I have 3 sisters and 1 pet. I like to spend time with my family and friends. I like to play soccer and softball. I go to San Francisco once or twice a year. Things over there are interesting and fun. Also, the people over there are friendly. I like to listen to all type of music. Since high school is a way different experience then middle school, i'm willing to try my hardest these 4 years. My teachers are great. My goal for this year is to get good grades and give it my all. I also want my parents to see me graduate. My family has always been supportive and they never give up on me. There always there to help me on anything. They taught me how to always stand up for what I want and to never give up. To just keep on trying to get there.

"Looking back..." - Interview
It is said that high school is the most important part of a person's life, a time where some of the biggest decisions of our lives are made, though it is also the small things that help lead to our futures down the road. Here I asked a friend of mine, who has graduated high school and moved on into college, about her experiences in high school and what she would pass on to those who have just begun their four years.
One of the questions asked was 'What were the two or three most important things you learned in high school?' --Why was it important and how did she learn these things--
Her straight response was, "The single most important thing I learned in high school is how to go about a research paper," she went on talking about the kinds of research papers she had written during her senior year, "It's the most important because you get little to no structure when assigned a research paper in college, besides certain requirements, such as a minimum number of sources, to go off of," she explained, "In high school we were walked through step-by-step how to go about pulling together a research paper. From the research itself, to gathering useful pieces of information from the resources we find and how to organize them, to outlining and finally putting together the whole paper." she finished before adding, "Another important thing I learned in high school is how to approach teachers. My teachers in high school always reminded us when they were free to help after school hours for extra help--and though I didn't need much extra help in high school, I have in college, and not all teachers verbalize that they do have office hours--usually on the syllabus they hand out-- available for extra help."
When asked 'If you could travel back in time, what would you change-- in your own behavior or in the school itself-- to make your high school experience better?' Her reply was right to the point, "Hands down, I would not procrastinate as much," was her firm answer, "I already missed quite a bit of school because of illness, I got pneumonia twice, both times it put me out for an entire week, and softball, both high school ball and club," she informed, "So keeping up with work was difficult enough without procrastination making it worse," she also answered the question with, "Putting off work until the last minute caused a lot of unneeded stress, especially when it came to senior year, since we had several deadlines throughout the year that we had to make or risk graduating on time."
Another question she was asked was, 'What teacher did you learn the most from? Why do you think you learned the most from him/her?' Taking a moment to gather her answer, she acknowledged the question, "Probably my senior English teacher, Mr. Gardner, because he always related everything we learned that year to either things in life in general, or to what we would be doing in college the next year," she said, "He also was really friendly and relatable, creating a relaxed though structured environment that made it easy to take in what we learned and retain it."
Finally, the last question she was asked was 'What advice would you give to a student to help him/her have a good high school experience?' Her answer came quick, but was nothing shy of insightful, "Develop good habits, such as getting work done early, seeking help from peers and teachers when you need it, and keeping all your work organized," was what she said immediately, then added, "And try not to take things too seriously--yes, doing well in high school is important for getting into a good college and bettering your future--but high school is also the last leg of your childhood so to speak. So make friends, have fun, make good decisions, because whether you have four years of misery or four years of growth and learning is up to your approach and your choices."
To sum it all up, everyone's four years of high school differ from others and can be interpreted in many different ways. Each person has his or her own perspective to the events that take place during this time. Based on their understanding of things and their out look to the things that come at them will weigh heavy on the scale that is high school. It can be the worst four years of their life or the best. It all depends on which side they chose to fill the scale. Perhaps it would be little bit of both.

"Lookin Back" Survey
For my "Lookin Back" Survey, i interviewed my older sister.
1. One important thing that she learned from high school was to be independent. Being independent to her was very important because it helped her get ready for colledge. Another important thing for her was to repect others. Respecting itheres was very important to her also because it shows a good appearance of herself.
2. If she had the chance to travel back in time, she will want to join in more sports and clubs, but especially she will be focused better and get a better GPA. Moreover, she will get a scholarship to go straight to a university instead of a community colledge.
3. The teacher my sister learned most from was Mrs. Hernandez, her spanish teacher. She learned alot from her because when she started, she didnt know any spanish. As time passed, she was one of the top girls in the class.
4. The advice my sister would give to a student is to focus in school and get good grades because it will help them do better in life such as transferring to a good unversity.
About me.
Hello, my name is Dianna. I was born in Conroe, Texas, when I was four years old I moved to San Diego with my mom and siblings. I have lived in California for ten years now. My mom raised us with the help of our other family members. My dad lives in Texas, we visit him every spring break. It's nice to see him and spend time with his side of the family.
In my ten years of living in San Diego, I have moved about seven times. I currently live in Chula Vista. I live with my mom, my older sister and my triplet brother and sister (we also have two cats).
Writing is something I really enjoy, just something I am comfortable with. Even though I have no idea what I am going to do when I get older or what job I will have, I know that I want to have the option of becoming a free lance writer.
I have never broken a bone before and I don't plan to. I have never traveled other then from California to Texas and vise versa. Traveling is something I want to do when I get older or whenever I get the chance, I also want to get a dog. I like a good range of music, my favorite type of food is Chinese food, and I am pretty decent at cooking.
This is just about me in general.
"Looking Back" Survey
Mjay Mendoza
I interviewed my mom and she said some pretty honest answers to the questions.
So, the two most important things she learned in high school was to be independent and to be open to people. To be independent was the most lesson she learned because she has to be dependable and she doesn't have to ask her parents for help and she learned by them by them to be responsible. To be open to people was the second lesson she learned because she can communicate well and participate in activities. She learn by them by being friendly.
My mom said that she wouldn't travel back in time to change anything in her behavior or school for a better high school experience because she enjoyed her high school experience and she met all her good old friends and good old teachers until now. They still have communications to each other.
My mom said that she learned from most of her teachers a lot of beautiful memories from them and also applying it to her daily life and to accomplish to a higher learning experience.
My mom's advice for a student to help him/her have good high school experience is to enjoy, work hard, study hard, finish your work, and try your very best, whatever you do to succeed high school.
