Senior year in high school is probably the most fun and difficult year. We have dances and due dates. Also our preparation for college gets more difficult as the years go on. What I am the most concerned about this school year is completing everything that is expected of me.

I am excited for senior year, but it seems like so much more thought is directed towards college already. I am most nervous for the aspect of having to focus on the present when college is right around the corner. I mean really, no one ever asks what classes you are taking it is always "What college are you going to?". I don't know yet and I don't know when I will. For now though, I want to focus on today and try not to let the senior year pass by while my mind is elsewhere. I've got a lot to live up to academically with such a smart older sister and I want to make this the best year.

For me, the thought of college in the near future scares me just a little. Everyone keeps asking me, where are you going, what are you doing with your life? and the thought that I still don't have a certain answer for those questions concerns me. I am also worried about the expectations everyone holds of us. The administration expects us to be the best behaved, the leaders,and our parents expect us to keep up our grades and get into a good school with hopefully some scholarships. Although I will have to keep these thoughts in mind, I still want to have fun with it, and I need to learn how to balance it all.

Coming into this school year, everyone expects you to know your future and what you are going to with your life. The real answer is no one knows. I am concerned that I will get so caught up in all of the college preparations, that I won't fully enjoy the senior experience. I know that the college application process is a very important one, but I don't want my senior year to fly by. I want to live one day at a time and really try and figure out more about who I am.

My biggest concern about coming into NDCL this year is the ending of the school year. Coming into school the first day I really realize that my first day would be my last first day. Everything I will do this year will be my last time doing it in high school. I constantly ask myself, How will I be remembered in my classmates minds? I want to do things and act in a way that when my classmates look back on me they will have a positive memory. Most people think that their biggest concern is college but that isnt my case. My concern may seem shallow but being accepted and what people think is a major concern of mine. To a certain exstent I try not to worry about what people think and just be myself but with somethings I find myself wondering what people will think if i say something or do something different.

My Senior year is going to be exciting. On both hands i am looking forward to college and to start a new life with some of the same people and new people, but on the other hand i am use to where I am in High school. My only real fears for senior year is that it doesn't drag on, that i pick the right college and i am happy with my choice and lastly, that i am prepared for the major.

Coming into this school year my biggest concern is how much is going to be expected of me. I have already been asked so many times where i am going to college, and i honestly have no idea. This is going to be a fun year, but knowing its my last year with a lot of my friends is a scary thought. I want to make sure that this year I try not to think so much on all the pressure being put on me and instead focus on living up my last year of high school!

This year my biggest concern would be not slacking off of school work. Knowing this is my last year, it makes me think, "Why try so hard? I'll be out of here in a year." But I need to keep reminding myself that my grades this year matter a lot! Thinking about college concerns me, but most of all I can't really believe that I will be going away to college in just a year! I want to focus on my last year of high school and have fun, but I know college is a really important thing that I need to plan for. I feel a lot of pressure, not because I'm afraid I wont live up to my parents expectations, but because I want to be able to make the right choices in majors and places to go to school so that I can do something with my life. If I make the wrong choice in a major, then I'll have to switch majors and that will make me stay in school longer, which I don't want to happen. I just want to be able to pick a major that I'll want to stick with and love (which I've found is much more difficult than I first thought). Hopefully I'll be able to figure everything out.

Probably the biggest concern senior year would be whats expected and the worry about screwing up somehow. Knowing that its our last year puts a lot of pressure and stress on us to succeed fully. I'm just worried about making a mistake that will jeopardize my future and where i go to college. It's going to be a wonderful year and I hope its as great as I think its going to be.

This school year my biggest concern will be my future. I honestly love high school and I love NDCL. I am not looking forward to leaving all of my friends that I have made while in high school. I also have no idea where I want to go to college or what I want to do in life. I sometimes feel like I am just getting dumped off and left to fend for myself in this world at the end of this year. I will eventually figure out what I want to do and where I want to go.

I have to be honest in the fact that I am concerned with a lot for coming into this school year. This might be surprising being that it is my fourth year and I should be use to how things work around here. However, there is a lot to live up to in my last year here. I am concerned mostly about keeping up my grades while playing basketball. I am taking a rigorous schedule to receive honors when I graduate. This means a lot of hard work and determination. Besides grades I am concerned with where I am heading in my future as this year is the time to start mapping out my life. Also the fact that this is my last year here, I feel I need to take in every opportunity this school has to offer to make it a year to remember as a senior!

My biggest concern about this year is all of the work that surrounds the college search and application process. I want to be able to enjoy my last year of high school and all of the fun and excitement that come with being a senior; however, I also have to be putting a lot of thought into what the next four years of my life (and even beyond) will hold. I want to find the college that is perfect for me and decide what field of study I am most interested in. Once I decide, there will also be a lot of work in applying to schools and for sscholarships. I want to make sure that I can do all of this with as little stress as possible so I can be able to fully enjoy everything that this busy and exciting senior year has to offer.

My biggest concern for this year is picking a college and not liking it when I get there. I am trying to play soccer in college so I feel like I can't go to big schools because it will be harder to play at. I am trying not to worry about this now because we still have our high school season coming up. I want to have a fun senior year but I feel like college is so close that I need to worry about that a lot too.

This year seems like it won't be as bad but still very challenging. I want to be able to fully enjoy my senior year without school work overtaking my life like last year. At the same time, I have to make room for dance and cheerleading without slacking off in school. As for college, I tend to procrastinate and need to try not to with my applications. I want to be able to put everything into my college applications and not be rushing to finish them especially since my college of choice has pretty high standards. Overall, I just want to be successfull academically while still having an exciting senior year.

My biggest concern for coming into senior year is the expectations. All i hear is "Where are you going to college, what do you want to major in, and what profession do i want to study." There is just a lot of pressure to get perfect grades, score really well on standardized tests, and pick the right college that it just becomes a stressful part of senior year.

I wonder what will happen with all my friends and how our relationships will change through the year and once college starts. It is exciting to think that this is the last year of high school and a new door will be opened as soon as we walk across the stage at gradutaion. We also have to think though, this is our last year together, Our last homecoming, prom, football games, and all the exciting events. Our lives are about to change. For the better as we grow into adulthood but im sure we will miss high school as soon as it is over.

My biggest concern coming into this school year is definately deciding a college and a major. I think finding a college is the easier of the two because when you find the college you belong at you will know it. Knowing exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life is a very tough decision i think. It is hard to choose at such a young age i believe. Some people might be sure of what they have wanted to do since birth, and other might change their minds multiple times. I have tried to narrow it down to only two but im not sure which one I am really wanting to go into. But as i said before when you find where and what you want to do you will feel that it is the right choice.

My biggest concern coming into my senior year is worrying about all of my classes. I have several challenging classes and I am always worrying about not being able to handle all of the homework and assignments with those classes on top of sports and other activities I'm involved in. I am also worried about leaving NDCL. I'm not worried about college itself, but when you leave a place you have spent the past four years at that you are very familiar and comfortable with and leave to some new place where you know few people, if anyone at all, can be difficult but can also be very enjoyable as well.

I'm not worried about leaving NDCL, getting into college, or even living on my own; I'm worried about the direction in which our world is headed and how that will affect my life. Especially the direction our own country is taking: my generation is going to have to work off the debt that the previous generation has left us, and there are those out there who hate us and everything we stand for. I'm worried about how I will handle all of the problems of the world once they officially become my own.

As a concern, senior year I need to start up a study habit-schedule. Over the years I've been able to set a coast on not putting much time into the material. With help of teacher tips and student ideas, I think I will be able to form a basis to take with me in my college experience. And from there, the concerns are of health and relationships, keeping each strong.

Hopefully, I will really be able to keep my priorities straight and if I do I will definately have a killer year. Along with the responsibility I am also concern about the shoes I have to fill. The class before us did an amazing job helping the community around us and across the globe. They were also very successful students and role models and I hope the class of 2011 can be the same..and even better! Regardless of my concerns I am overall I'm really excited for this year and I want to soak up every last drop of the high school experience and leave my legacy.

Going into senior year, my biggest concern is staying focused on my school-work. Entering my last year of high school, I understand that there are many things that I need to focus on: ACTs, SATs, recommendations, and college applications. Although I hope to make my senior year memorable, I have to stay focused on all of these important things so that I can get into the college of my choice. We've all heard of that horrible condition known as senioritis which gives way to procrastination and laziness. I can only hope it doesn't effect me. My schedule is tough this year so I have to make sure I stay focused on keeping my GPA high.

My biggest concern my senior year is to keep my grades up. I have already eliminated a lot of colleges and now i have a top 5 to choose from. I still have one more college to visit and i think that college will move into my top 5. I hope to make the right decision and enjoy my last year at NDCL.

My biggest concern going into my senior year would have to be finding the college that is right forme. I've been on many tours but I have no idea where I want to go for the next four years of my life. Its one of the biggest decisions I will ever make and I don't think that I am ready to chose my future. I'm also concerned about picking a major. I know I want to go into business but I don't know if I'll actually like it. The whole college decision puts me under a lot of stress that I don't want this early in the school year.

My biggest concern for senior year is keeping my mind on school. I'm hoping I don't get senioritis early into the year because this is a very important year for me to get good grades and to do well on the act and sat's. I'm not concerned so much about getting good grades, just trying to stay focused.

My biggest concern for senior year is if I will be fully prepared physically and mentally for my college years. I'm also hoping to improve my GPA and college entrance scores. I'm afraid that in the whole rush of college I'll lose track in why I'm in high school. The worst thing that could happen is letting the entire year pass by without enjoying it. I only regret not transferring sooner.

My biggest concern for senior year is getting into my top college. I've worked hard the past three years to keep my GPA up and I don't want to mess it all up senior year with some bad grades and test scores. I want to try and enjoy senior year at the same time though. I don't want all the college applications to stop me from having fun with my friends. I am also concerned about not seeing my friends anymore, and I will most sincerely miss my best friend Eric.

My biggest concern for senior year would definitely have to be college. With the choice of finding the right college, applying to college, and other miscellaneous things that I will have to do for college I am pretty concerned about it. Other concerns of mine include keeping up my grades, maintaining friendships that will last, and keeping up with everything else that I do outside of school.

My biggest concern for senior year is most definitely college, because I have to fill out applications for the colleges I would like to go to. So I have to be focused more on my school work and keeping my grades up for senior year and spend time with my friends.

My biggest concern about this year is, like most people, all the stress that comes along with college.

This year my biggest concern would have to be whether or not I'll be able to improve as a musician, at least enough to produce interest in producers on record labels. The one thing I'm most concerned about in my life is whether or not I'll be able to look back and see myself as a man who made it through life doing what he loved the most.

My biggest concern coming into this school year is simply keeping everything together and not going completely insane over stress. The stress of colleges, homework, ACT's/SAT's, friends and work all eventually take a toll on me. Hopefully, I'll be able to manage and keep it all together. Senior year is supposed to be one of enjoying our last year together as a class but also growing as an individual. I only hope that I will be able to enjoy my senior year but grow into a mature young adult.

My biggest concern coming into my senior year is deciding my future and choosing what i want to do with my life. i want to go away for college to a big city because i feel like if im going to ever live in the city, now would be my only chance. But im also afraid that i will like it too much, get too comfortable there and not want to move back. Because another thing i am constantly thinking about is do i want to leave my family behind, even after all they did for me? if i chose family, i would go to a college closer to home and pick a more average career. So for me, its do i want to follow my dream and try to make it big somewhere? or do i choose what matters most to me, my family?

I'm concerned that I might tell the interviewers at the schools I'm looking at that I want to study one topic when I might change my mind down the road.

I don't have as many concerns as i thought I was going to have coming into my senior year. My biggest concern however, is that all of us in our grade are going to continue to dislike each other when we only have a year left together. we should be trying to make the best of it. Also a concern I have is if I'm going to get into the college that i want to go to, I am so worried I'm not going to get in and then I'll have to settle for a school that isn't perfect for me. Other than that i'm just looking forward to a good year
