ENG 4C - Lesson 1: Journal Response
My Past, Present, and Future: Journal Response
In 2011 I made a choice to leave my high school in Perth which was PDCI, I chose to leave and go live with my mom in Ottawa. I had enrolled in a new school called Holy Trinity Catholic High School with new faces, new friends, and just a new everything. I was doing very well in classes until I started to hang out around the wrong group of people. One day I picked up a very bad habit which was smoking cigarettes, it then lead on to smoking marijuana. My friends were all very good people with jobs, great grades, as well as amazing family members but some of them weren’t all like that. The ones that were like that attracted my attention more than others by what they were doing. Smoking bong, hitting up parties, skipping class, driving around and laughing with friends, it was all what I wanted to do at the time until I realized I was wasting my life, time and was even suspended from school and then dropped out.
In 2013 I decided to change my life around; I had gotten a job as a dishwasher/ prep cook and even went back to school for my grade 11 at Sir Robert Borden High School. At the time I thought I was just getting my life back on track but really I was slowly going back downhill towards the bad friends and drugs. (Note: I haven’t done any other drugs besides marijuana which I’m proud of) During the first semester I was searched exactly every day for 23 days in the first month of September because of my history in Holy Trinity, which was selling marijuana. The best part about it was that I didn’t bring that to school anymore and had been leaving it at home for my own personal use. I still yet had another problem on my hands; I would not attend my classes. I had missed almost every class in the first semester except for my first two weeks there.
As of 2013 transitioning into the new year of 2014 I had turned 18 and had no job as I had lost it, I thought I
