Frankly, I may not be the smartest, the greatest, or even near perfect student. I do not have straight A’s, a 1600 SAT score, or amazing GPA. Although these accomplishments are impressive, every person has their own academic abilities. What I do know is that I’ve taken 6 AP classes, 3 honors classes, ran cross country, track, and have danced for 3 years. Also, for about 2 years I have worked as a dishwasher and then secretary for my aunt and uncle’s business where I have learned about paying bills, managing checking accounts, and the importance of work. I have maintained in the top 10th percentile of my school, a high GPA, and have worked as a secretary for a local business during vacations. I have used the resources provided for me and taken
Accomplishments in my life have really given me a new understanding for myself and others and allowed for personal growth. One accomplishment has provoked this growth: being inducted into the National Honor Society. The society helps me to think differently about other people and learn of ways I could become a better person. This experience has shown me the importance of hard work, never giving up, social interaction, and helping others.
I am a high honor student, have received a few academic awards, and did well on my PSAT. I am not trying to brag, just stating my résumé, and trying to show how hard work can pay off.
Even though I would like to continue studying while maintaining high GPA., I decided to take military service after last semester. The reason is because my father with his annual income cannot support whole family members since I have two more siblings who are a university student and a high school student. I would like to reduce the burden on my parents. They are always financially distressed and have hard time because of me, but they do not tell their financial problems to me. It is afflicting and painful to look at the circumstance. Doing part-time jobs with leave of absence from college is impossible anymore. Before I knew various scholarships of SUNY Korea, there was no suitable way to continue my academy. Fortunately,
In order to be accepted into UW Tacoma, you need to withstand a GPA with the minimal of 3.0, but the recommended GPA to ensure acceptance is a 3.5 and above. Currently, my GPA for the first quarter of my freshman year was a 3.0 but hoping for the next quarter to replace my C's with B's in order to receive a 3.6 or higher on my semester grade. Though UW Tacoma doesn't list, a recommended class ranking, but by UW admissions counselor's recommendation of having a class ranking above the 60 percent.
In my high school career, I have worked tirelessly to always do my best, be my best. I would not, and could not, accept anything from myself except perfection. I had to consistently go the extra mile, complete the extra credit, so that I could feel satisfied and validated with the view I held of myself as a student. The result of this was what I considered a perfect transcript: straight A’s and a perfect GPA. This year, I broke that streak.
What my transcript tells about me is that I am an average student with grades that are far from perfect and grades that are far from bad. Although my grades aren’t stellar i can confidently say that they don’t necessarily reflect who I am as a person, they also do not reflect any of my abilities or skills that I have. Looking at these grades now make me realize that if I had put forward a little more effort and not slacked off like i did they would be a whole lot better. My grades don’t show an accurate presentation of my talents, skills, gifts, etc because throughout my four years of highschool I never took many things seriously i would turn in mediocre work which explains my mediocre grades.
This scholarship stood out to me promarily because many people read the name and began to describe the tyings they've accomplished. To me, being an eighteen year old high school graduate and certified nursing assistant along with being in college full time, I am my biggest success. Everything thag I have accomploshed throughout the years has made me who I am today. I look at myself a being success because i work hard to get where im going. I love carinf for people and expanding my knowledge about healthcare, also finding ways to make a difference in others lives.
A notable personal accomplishment for me is my grade point average. During high school, I have taken many rigorous courses. Each course presented me with challenges, but I was undeterred by them. I developed study habits and a motivation that drives my personality. My organizational skills assist me on a daily basis. Without the use of calendars, lists and prioritization many of my assignments would be forgotten about. In addition to this, organization also allows me to take clear notes on complex topics. Another skill that I have developed over time is being able to balance a multitude of various activities. My daily schedule consists of three advanced placement classes and two extracurricular activities. This combination of activities stimulates
Since I was a child my parents have raised me to do great in school. My current G.P.A is a 3.8 and I have had only A's and B's throughout my 3 years with the exception of a few high C's in subjects that
I'm passionate about a few things in life, but primarily in helping small businesses become successful. Several years into my career, I discovered that I am a magnate for solving problems with a strong obsession for consistently striving for perfection, which works well for the companies and the people I assist.
What defines an accomplishment? Is it the worth of it in monetary, emotional, or personal standards? Personally a great accomplishment of mine was self-improvement in both body and mind. I had a problem with my weight and mental stability. I am diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and I do not take any medication for it. Therefore I have learned over the years on how to control my anxiety and calm myself down. My weight gain began when I was in 4th grade, I started the habit of bingeing and it resulted in a troubled metabolic system. My greatest accomplishment has been my new lifestyle that has mitigated my physical and mental problems through health routines, training, and reading.
I believe I have exhibited academic success. Every quarter I have earned a 3.7 GPA or higher. I am in advanced math class. I received a science award in sixth grade as recognition for outstanding achievements and contributions to the classroom environment.
Teachers began to talk about schools, scholarships, recommendation letters, and the dreaded college application essay. They stated that I needed to gloat about my accomplishments except I did not consider myself proficient in any way. I felt like I did not meet any of the requirements to get into college. This inadequate feeling doubled when teachers started to boast about Mr.Perfect Thirty-Six on the ACT, Ms.Governor's Scholar, and Mr.Football Superstar. With a plethora of talent and success, of course, they could apply to Harvard effortlessly; however, I couldn’t because I only scored a measly twenty-three on the ACT; I never signed up for any school clubs or events; and, I haven’t even attended any of the school’s sports games let alone tried out for them. How did my teachers expect me to compete with my accomplished All-American classmates? I
You go to school for seven hours a day, five days a week, for twelve straight years. You spend afternoons, mornings, and maybe even nights studying for upcoming exams. You stress to score as high as possible on all standardized tests. You get out of school, go straight to soccer practice, then come home, and study for tomorrow’s math test. Even though your schedule is already crazy, you find some time to volunteer at a charity. You try your hardest to be as perfect as you can be. But, when you apply to the college of your dreams, you get rejected. No, you do not get rejected because you are not qualified. You do not get rejected because of your grades, your SAT score, your athletic ability, or your ability to strive in everything you set your
What makes me successful. Something I think to myself on a daily bases being that I am getting older and I have to think about what is going to help me be successful as an adult and as a student in college, which is extremely different from high school or any education that I have gotten. I have to think what I need to be successful fiscally and mentally. Thinking about my success and where I’m at now I know I need someone to push me and help thought the hard time, but also need myself to be able to help myself the most.
