#tckproblems

I found myself onboard one of these at the age of 7mths first and kinda never really stopped. Contrary to what many think, it’s not something I’ve necessarily enjoyed per se. Hours at an end on a flying fart-tube with restricted movement an groundnoise and guilt abt carbon footprint. Honestly, this is the part of growing up and living between multiple countries I just choose to delete from my memory mostly (except for a couple that are probably here to stay). I am looking forward to my teleporting days. Later.

I just finished my last exam of 10th grade and that part feels great. It’s been a long year, starting with my move to West Africa and ending with my move back to the U.S., my home that hasn’t ever been my home. I’ve had a tough year and I’m glad to say that things are over. The part of ending 10th grade that I’m not excited about is what to do about my summer. My plan for volunteering at my local hospital has fallen through in that I will have my interview on the scheduled date but orientation will only take place in September. All the slots have filled up for the summer. I know, it doesn’t make sense but I don’t have the luxury of questioning. So I spent my last day of 10th grade filling out job applications. My plan was to volunteer but since that hasn’t worked out, I’ve decided to look at paying jobs at movie theaters and sandwich shops. I don’t have to tell you guys this but I will anyway; the job market is pretty slim for everybody. On the bright side, I have three hours left for my mandatory night driving and then I will have completed all my required driving hours. I’m excited about that and will call the driving school tomorrow to ensure that I will have a spot soon. I don’t need that to fall through also. Right now, things aren’t looking that great and the dreams of a fun summer vacation aren’t that promising but hopefully, things will work out. My 11th grade year looks hopeful and that is something I thought I would never be able to say. I have an intense schedule and some pretty exciting endeavors. I signed up to be on the yearbook staff and soon received an offer from the teacher of the class to be advertising editor. After, a week or so of consideration I decided to accept the offer. I will be working on advertising as well as taking photos and writing. I love journalism and this is exciting. Another cool opportunity is that my school is offering a radio class. We have a room that is set up with equipment but no person to lead us. The high school principal has built a partnership with a local radio station and they have agreed to teach us. At one point, I found that it was a working radio station with students hosting morning shows. I hope that it can be started up again. Radio broadcasting has always intrigued me and I would love to do that. It would be even worth getting up at 4 AM. Not a lot of things are worth getting up at 4 AM. - J.T.
