My plans for Christmas this year is that I'm going to Orlando, Florida for soccer. It's for National League to see if we can go to Nationals this summer. I'm also going to hangout with some friends and family before I leave.

What I hope to accomplish by going to college is getting the education I need, my major in what I'm studying in, and better opportunities in the future. I am going to college for myself and my parents/family. Reason why is so that they know I'm trying to go somewhere with my life instead of juts wasting it. Some characteristics that mostly matter on choosing a college is if it fits you best, it has what you want to study in, and commitment. I would go to somebody who has enough experience with college and get there input because they know what its like and have dealt with almost everything you need to know or do. College will definitely help me achieve my goals in the future because during college it's going to me be more responsible, I will know how to use my time, knowing what's right from wrong when it comes to a decision, and I'd be ready for what comes next.

This Thanksgiving break I will be spending time with my family and probably hanging out with some friends. I also have to go to Austin for soccer for the Lone Star Soccer Showcase tournament. This break is going to be much needed and am really looking forward to it.

The job I have found was at Buffalo Wild Wings and what I would do would be a server. This job is easy and appropriate because all you do is greet the guest and take there order and make sure everything is going well. It will also be very fun because there are plenty of TVs there to watch sport events. If I get an interview I would make sure that I'm ready by having everything I need and preparing myself for any type of question asked. This job was fairly easy to find because I used this website called snagajob.com

The movie Homeless to Harvard was a very sad and inspirational film. It showed me that a girl whose parents were never there for her and had nothing could get through almost everything and become a very successful lady. My favorite part of the movie was when she wanted to go to school so she went to the school did the applications and waited for them to give her a chance. Reason why that's my favorite is because it showed that she was ready to take responsibility for herself and move on in life. I think I would've done the same thing she did because I don't want to just sit there and let my life go to waste. I would want to make something out of everything I do.

The most surprising thing about my budget was the amount of money you are going to need for college. I knew it was going to be a lot but not that much. I did not expect for everything to be so much and making sure you have all the stuff you needed organized before you go to college. I'm quite not ready for all that responsibility yet, but I'll get to the point where I am. I realized that when you are in college money does mean a whole lot. You have to make sure you're making the right decisions on everything you do. Something I can do now to prepare myself for the expenses later is start making a savings account. Make sure that all the money I'm going to need is there and ready for me when it is time.

My top career choice right now is to be a professional soccer player. Reason why is because I've been playing soccer every since I was three. I never stopped and it always had my interest. It has always been a big help when I'm going through tough times. I can just relax and do my thing with no worries in the world. Soccer is like a part of me its in my blood to play it.

I made a 6 out of 24. Recently a best friend on mine on my soccer team had passed away. A brain tumor popped in his head and wasn't able to make it. People have been always asking me what happened and if I'm okay. I get really tired of it because people don't understand how hard it is to answer to that and it just starts stressing me out. I try to avoid all the questions and concerns but it just never works.

A. My current organizational method is having binders with a couple of dividers in it with different classes on each one. For some classes I might just have a folder for it so I can access it easier. I believe that my method works pretty well because I know where everything is at and it's easier for me to keep up with myself.
B. Procrastination can hurt you real bad because you know you have to do it, but you're just too tired or lazy to do it. So you put it off to the side for later and somehow you might always forget about it and never do it leaving you with a bad grade or maybe even a zero.
C. How I fight procrastination is by just doing it right there and then or setting reminders in my phone so that later I don't forget about and get it done.

Hi, my name is Stephen Gonzales and I was born on October 7th, 1997. Things in this class that I would like to start focusing or learning is what colleges look for in students/athletes and how to do there applications without anybody's help. Also, get to know what to do or how to do stuff when it comes to college. So hopefully by the end of the year I've sent a couple of applications to colleges and have some scholarships.
