The Future 24 - Zac Byrd

From all the snow days we’ve had junior year is close to being over but not close enough.  This year was a big year for me.  This year I was able to balance swimming and trumpet with the hardest year of high school.  I’ve started my college search early and already have a good idea of where I’ll be going.  But I’ll be shadowing different occupations this summer to see if I can narrow my options for a major.  This year I learned that sometimes I overwhelm myself with too much, and that’s what ends up stressing me out down the stretch. And I also learned to not rely too heavily on my homework grades to get me an A in a class because in college it’s all tests and a few other things.  This summer I will lifeguard again, and study for the ACT.  With such a busy junior year I wasn’t able to study for arguably the most important test of my life or at least my high school life.  Senior year I want to place number 1 in state for both Henry Clay free relays, and I want to make a really good impression on my college trumpet auditions.  I would also like to be able to read chord changes for jazz and get a couple points higher on the ACT.  I’ll just have to keep doing what I’m doing and a little bit more.
