High school has been a very interesting experience for me. It has definitely had its highs and lows and many confusing experiences in between. Overall, I feel like I have been prepared for not only college, but also life as a whole. High school has taught me many things, both academically and emotionally. It has has built many aspects of my character. My experiences at Alhambra High school have shaped me into the person that I am today. I have learned a lot about my personal qualities, such as my strengths and weaknesses, and my work habits and attitudes. One of the first things that I had to learn at Alhambra High school, which consisted of my freshman and sophomore years, was responsibility and time management. I would always be the one

This program has helped me to be prepared and guide me throughout my high school academics to get to where I need to be in order to be on track with my a-g requirements to graduate from high school. PODER is one of the biggest important reasons why I’m going to graduate and attend a university. It has pushed me to be successful in school and has opened many doors for me for example knowing that there are many things we can accomplish no matter what the situation is and to be organized. Because of PODER it has guided me in the right path to attending college and what we should expect when going to college without the PODER Program, I wouldn't be where I am now.

It's almost coming to the an end until I graduate but I feel like I can sum up all that high school has taught me and to advise the underclassmen here are the lessons I've learned, one is to never procrastinate because there is no gain in procrastinating assignments. Procrastination can lead to stress or result in bad grades. Number two, be friends with everyone you can. I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter what a person looks like, what they do in their spare time, or who they sit by at lunch. They have something good to offer you if you look for it with even the tiniest effort. It may be humor, advice, humility, strength, gratitude, assurance, or even a dose of reality. And I could have missed all of these if I kept to myself and only be around those who I'm comfortable with. Number three, pay attention in school and make wise choices you may not be ready to grow up, but it’s a good idea to keep your future in mind. If you want to go to college make sure you take the right classes and ask questions if you don't understand. Do volunteer work, it shows people that you care about others and are willing to work hard. Lastly, be yourself. Your four years will fly by it’s no fun when you pretend to try to be someone you’re not. When you truly know who you are, people will truly love you for that. Don’t be afraid when you feel like your life is falling
