A special attribute that sets me apart is my tendency to work hard. I constantly try to do my best in everything that I do. Throughout high school, I’ve always set a high standard for myself by taking rigorous classes, joining sports and clubs, and maintaining a high GPA. Even if certain classes didn’t have any relation to nursing, club meetings were the day before a large exam, or tennis practice was especially grueling, I still worked hard and put in as much effort as I could. With this type of attitude, I was able to maintain Distinguished Honor Roll and a cumulative 4.08 GPA throughout my high school career. I chose to maintain this attitude during senior year instead of taking it easy, as I was able to gain knowledge and experience that
I worked just as hard, yet my test results were notably underwhelming in comparison to my ‘top 10’ classmates. What was different about me, I thought every night before I fell asleep. Then I realized, I was alone in my cherishment of extracurricular activities. While my classmates were up late Friday nights studying, I was cheering on the sidelines, exerting myself to pep up the crowd via backflips. When others were reading ahead, I was helping to feed outlying communities. While the ‘top 10’ was still cramming, I was at a Wednesday worship program. I’m committed to giving my complete impetus to everything I take part in, and sometimes, your best isn’t enough for what you want and there is almost nothing you can do about it. This taught me that in order to be truly fulfilled, you need to accept failure as part of your life and learn to move on. Thinking about it, I would not be happier if I quit doing the things I love to study more so that I could be in the ‘top 10’. In fact, I would most definitely be more miserable. Learning to accept failure, I have decided to cultivate my energy into simply giving my all and to welcome whatever rank, or not, I receive with open
I have excelled at every subject, achieving various honors throughout my years at Bellefonte. I have challenged myself greatly by taking various engineering classes at the high school, so that I can see what is to come in my future. These courses are designed to push students outside of the normal classroom routine, making me focus on real world applications of the material. In these courses, and all of my schoolwork I strive for perfection, pushing myself to my limits to achieve it. When faced with challenges I strive to overcome them in any means necessary. I strive to have challenges in my schoolwork, so that I can push myself to solve them. I do not back away from any challenge, rather I seek for them to show myself, and others what is
Education and learning has been something that has fascinated me from an early age. This fascination has encouraged me to strive for the best. Throughout high school, I have managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA while participating in extracurricular activities and organizations such as Lewisville High School’s JV Dance/Drill Team, Varsity Theatre, Speech/Debate, National Honor Society, and Student Council. Along with my school involvement I have been working part-time at Chick Fil A for two years.
I have, honestly, always performed to my best ability in all of my classes and I will continue to strive for excellence at Bishop Noll. I am very motivated and extremely hardworking in the classroom. My elementary and middle school grades on a difficult scale and is very competitive, but I have always managed to get high grades. My two older brothers have always motivated me to perform my best in school, and if I didn’t have them to push me I definitely would not have the self-determination and stamina that I do now. I have been on A or A-B honor roll for as long as I can remember but that is not because I am gifted or extraordinary, it is because I work extremely hard, have had excellent examples and teachers, and am incredibly motivated. I am very proud of the grades I have gotten and the work that I have done at my current school, and I look forward to achieving all of the goals that I have for myself in high
Even with my family moving between four school districts and three states, I have managed to keep my grades all A’s and one B+ since kindergarten. In early elementary school, I can recall the teachers constantly giving me extra work to stimulate me, so I wouldn’t be bored with the work given to the rest of the class. Not only do I get good grades, but I have a great work ethic. I am conscientious in everything I do, and always turn my work in on time. I was recommended to compete in the Upper Bux-Mont Academic Challenge for two years in a row, and have been on the Distinguished Honor Roll all three years of middle school.
From the start of high school, I have driven myself to be successful. Not only to make my parents proud and get recognition from colleges, but also as goal for myself. During freshman year I was awarded the Golden Hark Award for demonstrating positive leadership skills. Additionally, I have gotten the highest honor roll every semester of high school, and currently have a 4.021 cumulative GPA. Throughout my high school years
Throughout my high school career, I have made it my priority to dedicate my time to academics, athletics, and community service projects. Academically, I strive to maintain my honor roll status which I have achieved since my freshman year. While dedicating my time to rigorous AP and Honors courses I have also been a member of the girl’s winter and spring track team since my freshman year and officially earned varsity status my sophomore year. I have also been an active member of the girl’s cross country team both my junior and senior year. Leadership roles such as these have allowed to me transform into a well rounded, hardworking, and responsible individual, which essentially allowed me to become a member of Barnegat High School’s National
I pride myself in being a positive influence within my school, family, workplace, and community. Throughout my high school career, I have remained focused and academically driven. I enjoy being intellectually stimulated therefore I increased my course difficulty level each year while improving my grade point average. I am a two season
Throughout my schooling, I have worked to great lengths to maintain a GPA that exceeds 3.75 and qualifies me for the National Honors Society. My performance in school is my priority
I have remained in the top 50 of our school’s class ranking throughout my high school career and am constantly enrolling in advance classes to increase my knowledge about difficult subjects. By the end of this school year I will have taken European History AP, English III AP, and several other advance courses. Furthermore, I am always challenging myself in new ways. For example, I am ranked in the Mu Alpha Theta presidency where I attend numerous conventions to compete and represent
One of the hardest things I have ever done is balance my school, sports, and organizations. Throughout my life I have been pushed to be the greatest and in result, never settled for anything less than perfect. This is true for both school work and athletics. Since my freshman year I have worked for good grades and ended up with nearly perfect grades, which resulted in a grade point average of a 3.927. I have earned this GPA while balancing volleyball, basketball, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) , Yearbook, National Honor Society (NHS), Honor Roll, the Drama Department, Math Team,Student Council, Class officer and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD).
I work every day on expanding my knowledge so I can hopefully maintain my commendable GPA of 4.98. I am currently in all advanced core classes and I am willing to do anything I can to maintain an A in these classes. My academic excellence is very important to me because I am hoping to have a successful career as a Pediatric Pulmonologist. Thus meaning that I will need to go to medical school. I am hoping if I push myself enough now, I will be able to get a portion of my schooling paid for. I enjoy learning, I desire to learn as much as I can while I am still student of Lampasas High
My academic drive and diligence as a student are manifested in my scholastic achievements. I was presented with the Most Outstanding Student Achievement Award when I graduated 8th grade from Mountain Home School. I currently have a grade point average of 4.0, which has been sustained throughout my years of high school thus far. Last year, as a sophomore, I received three Academic Achievement Awards for Religion, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. I also took three senior classes, and I was on the Principal’s List for every quarter. This year, I am taking two dual-credit classes and excelling in both. I believe that the main reasons I am a straight-A student are because I am self-disciplined, I have a strong work ethic, and I strive for academic excellence. Mediocrity is never an option for me.
In 9th grade I had a vague idea of what high school credits were and I familiarized myself with the education system of America. Later, in 12th grade I realized that had I chosen to take some challenging classes such as Honors or AP classes earlier in high school, my GPA would have increased. But now I feel so proud of myself because I have achieved so many things in just few years. I became fluent in English, adopted the American environment as my own, and not only that I became accomplished in my studies too. I got my RDA (Registered Dental Assistant) license just at the age of 16 in my junior year of high school, I interned at a dental office for a research Capstone project which I presented at the end of my high school. I graduated in the distinguished Honor Roll. I was also in top 3% of my graduating class, and I ranked 17 out of 546 students. Finally in my senior year, I was offered admission into Lone Star’s Honors College and was awarded the Lone Star College- North Harris Chancellor’s Fellow Scholarship. There is a lot to expect in this upcoming year. I will be graduating with Associates of Science Honors Degree by the end of 2016 school year. I will be traveling to Italy in spring break for a research project, and will have atleast 12 credits hours of international studies. In this brief journey I achieved a lot and hope to achieve
I’ve been lucky enough to have experienced a tremendous amount of success and opportunity throughout my life. I had always performed well in school, I took advanced courses, I got into the private high school my mother went to, and because my parents owned a little Thai restaurant since I was four, I had an extracurricular that taught me people skills and offered me more work experience than any of my peers had. When I realized that I was exceeding the expectations of my parents and those around me, I became content with not reaching my full potential. It was until much later that I realized that adopting that mindset was where I went wrong. When my high school decided not to accept me into the National Honor Society during my junior year, I was devastated.
