The first 18 years of my life have been unforgettable. I have worked incredibly hard to be the best student, the best family member, the best athlete, and the best citizen I can be. The past 18 years of experiences have led me to this point—an accepted student at Tulane University. While I wish I could take all the credit, there have been so many people who have influenced and helped me along the way. My parents and my sister have been my rock throughout the years. No matter what I have taken on, no matter how impossible it may have seemed, my family has supported me. My parents are hard-working, caring people who have raised me to be a considerate, diligent, and selfless person. I owe all of my success to their dedication and love for me
I feel at age 20 you would feel more pressed for time to do all of the things that you wanted to do with your life. Many 20 year olds are usually in college starting their careers and lives, why would they want to be worrying about something that would not possibly happen until 50 years later? They would live there mid-life crises at a much younger age knowing that they have a predetermined end. I just feel that they would be living rushed lives in a sense because they know they have limited time, where as if you did not know when your life would begin to deteriorate you might experience life at a more steady pace.
Both my parents are high school teachers so my house is always filled with stacks of lesson plans, school supplies, and the quick wit that only comes from being around teenagers twenty-four-seven. Being both supportive teachers and amazing parents, my mom and dad have consistently inspired me to work my very hardest and to keep learning no mater what. They also are my biggest cheerleaders whether I am last in the race at cross country, preforming my best on stage, kicking butt and taking name in karate, or getting my butt kicked trying to bathe an angry bull. Next is my sister, who has been my Player 2 in this wacky game we call life and rivals my parents in encouraging me. Even though each of my family members plays a different role in my life, when they are together supporting me I can preform at my very best. The best example of their support is when I tested for my black belt. For the test I fought for nearly an hour-and-a-half against multiple well-trained fighters, without hardly any breaks. Even though I had been training for years, I would have not been able to keep fighting if my family hadn’t been there giving me water and telling me to keep going and try harder. This is one example out of many of how my family has been there for me through it all, telling that I am above and not beneath and proving that
The day we left in 1-09-2056 it was not that good of a day. We were delayed 12 hours because of one of the batteries losing power when the ship was not on. My girlfriend did not want me to go after that but we needed the money and we would get to come back in 4 years and then we would leave again. We would be gone for a total of 12 years. I would go with two more people Bob, Joe, and me. This would be the first flight all through our galaxy.
Despite my parent’s challenges, they were still able to raise me with love and care and surrounded me in an environment where I

A misconception I have heard during my high school year is that high school will be the life of the party literally of “life”. With this, they say that with all the events, mistakes, dances, field trips, club joining, fundraisers, learning, sports, rallies, carnivals, and classes throughout the process of a high schooler to the big exciting events that come during senior year they say.
Employers are expecting a lot from employees these days, including good social, physical, and many other different types of skills. School is designed to get kids ready for college along with future employment. Community service and extracurricular activities are great at getting students involved with their community and further improve their skills. High school should be extended to a fifth year in order to help make them ready for the workforce.
My parents as well as my extended family have been crucial in providing the foundation for my beliefs, attitudes and values. I grew up
There's nothing worse than reflecting on something you once had, something that you loved, and realising that you will never be able to have it again. For me, it's the seasons I lived through in my childhood: every season had something to correlate to it. They always had something significant that made you know that that time of year was coming. But now it feels as if the seasons seem to float by me. That, or they are only signified because I've identified something I do not enjoy.
¥¥Think of your last seven years of your life. There were too many memories, experiences, and results to even remember everything that had happen in the last seven years. Now imagine investing your whole heart, soul, time, money, tears into something for a total of seven years. Each and every day you see no fruit or results for your hard work. Are you doing something wrong? Is this worth all the hard work? At what point do you give up? Willam Carey in the late 1700's and early 1800's was a missionary in India. It took him seven years until he saw one person saved. This story makes me really think about what results could I have seen if I stuck with something or someone. I can't even imagine how discouraged Carey was. The real question is was
When you look back on your life in 30 years, what would it take for you to consider your life successful? What relationship or accomplishments will be important on this journey?
Senior year was going to be the best one yet. I was going to be involved and fully enjoy it. However, my excitement started to diminish when my best friend got a boyfriend a month before school started. I didn’t think things would change at first, but suddenly I no longer had a constant companion at social events. The nights where we’d hang out were gone, and I found myself constantly third-wheeling. My hope for an amazing senior year was gone; I lost my best friend, and I felt miserably alone. (499)
Any individual looking for a successful future must have a working structure of a five year plan.Certainly, there are many different forms of this five year plan; some may be more detailed and specific as opposed to more of an outline.Regardless of which type of five year plan one has, he or she must have one.Without a five year plan, a person would have nothing to strive for in business, education, or life.I am a firm advocator of having and following a five year plan.In this paper I will thoroughly explain my plans for the future as best I can.
May family has had a drastic effect on who i am as a person and what I want to become. Ever since I was a young child I looked up to the determination of my parents. They were graduates of Ricks college. Both coming from low income families they worked hard to attend college and work for the careers that they wanted to pursue. They took any possible jobs in order to pay for the education they seeked and this included early hours and late nights. They studied and both received their Doctorates. My mom became an OB GYN and a College Professor in the school that she used to attend, and my dad became a successful Physical Therapist. They started from nothing and were able to create a successful future for me and my sister.
When everything is going wrong they are the one thing that is always right. My family supports me in every decision I make and that is something I don’t seem to appreciate enough. My sister used to be my worst enemy. Growing up she teased and taunted me. We argued all the time, we didn't talk to each other for days, and we wished we didn't have to spend another day in the same house, but as we have gotten older we have grown so close. I wish she wasnt away at college because she has turned out to be my very best friend. I value her, our rough times, and now, I value the relationship that we have formed. I wouldn't trade her for the
