During my school career, I have excelled in science, math, and music. I enjoy these areas of study, and I like the challenge each disciple requires. I feel my background in these areas has prepared me to begin work on an engineering degree. During high school, I took AP math and science classes and did well on the AP exams. In addition, I took a robotics class for three years, and competed in the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) state robotics competition, two of the three years. In addition to academic classes, I was in the marching band and advanced concert band playing the most difficult part each season. I participated in the UIL state solo and ensemble contest and state marching contest multiple times. Once at Texas A&M, I joined
Throughout my educational career at St. Paul High School I have been involved in many roles of academic excellence and leadership that I believe have well-prepared me for my future. As a freshman and sophomore, I received two ACE Awards for maintaining a minimum 4.0 GPA and as a junior received and Academic Letter. During my sophomore year of high school, I participated in a number of leadership roles including 2015 HOBY ambassador and The Congress of Future Medical Leaders delegate. Now, as a senior, I have taken on more positions of academic leadership such as participating on the St. Paul High School Academic Challenge Team and being a member of the National Honor Society. Although these are only a number of my accomplishments over the
As a member of the honor roll during the entirety of my high school career, I have strived to achieve the best possible scores every marking period. Every day, I come to school with a positive attitude, and am always poised to learn something new. Over the last four years, I have taken all of the technology courses my school has to offer. I have a heavy “Engineering by Design” background, and also have become skilled with CAD software, programming, and scripting. As a result of my passion for engineering, I have won the Xerox Award for Innovation and Information Technology. Additionally, I am also very interested in Mathematics and Science, with AP Calculus and Physics being examples of courses I have taken to reflect
As a student at Indiana University Northwest, I would like to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I consider clubs and school involvement a valuable resource that can further my education by gaining new experiences and making new relationships. I believe that they can help me grow as a student at IUN and as a member of society. I was raised in a home that regarded a hard work ethic as the key to being successful in anything. In response to my upbringing, I pushed myself hard not only in school but also in life. At some points in my highschool career I would have trouble balancing school and my 3 jobs. I pushed myself to my limit and eventually eliminated one of those to reduce my stress level and increase the quality
As a sixth grader, I was introduced to the idea of serving my country. However, I was not then and still am not interested in enlisting and being sent to boot camp. I wanted something that I knew would challenge me not only physically, but mentally too. That is why I decided to pick the United States service academies, specifically the Naval Academy, my goal for college. I have worked since early on in middle school to achieve this goal and have made myself an extremely competitive candidate for all three of the academies. Once I push through my first year at an academy, I aim to either study mechanical or computer engineering. I have learned that both of these courses are some of the hardest majors offered, although I feel as if that I can handle it. My indecision between the two has arisen due to my fear that I will not enjoy the path that I end up choosing. I have realized, however, that engineering is my calling, along with serving my country and living a life that I can be proud
I was a C average student in Jr. High. That's why I set a goal for myself the last day of my middle school career--”get straight A’s in high school”. At the time it seemed more like a “set your goals higher than you think you can accomplish” kind of task. It wasn't something that I truthfully felt I could obtain. Little did I know, I was greatly doubting my abilities as a student. Every hour of homework quickly paid off. When I received my first report card, my mother had the brightest look of pride in her smile. She was relieved that I was able to break the family habit of slacking off in high school. Many family members before me have succumbed to a life of just getting by. I chose to deviate from that philosophy, then, and now. They call
During my high school career, I have been involved in numerous activities. One of my favorite and most impactful activity was FFA. I have participated in many career development events and have competed successfully on the state level. I have been a team member of the state winning Ag Issues and Parliamentary Procedure team. Also, I have won the state Prepared Public Speaking contest as well as earning a national semi-finalist title. In addition, I have achieved leadership positions. I have served as my chapter’s Reporter and a mentored Agriculture 1 students. Another pivotal activity that I have participated in is 4-H. During 10 years of membership, I have served as my club’s Reporter, Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President. Six of my static
It was an early summer day just after my eighth grade year when I made a decision that would significantly impact my high school career. I was working alongside my mother and father on the registration for my freshman year of highschool when I came across blank that asked if I would like to play a sport. For the past three years I had been playing volleyball, and though a successful and talented players, as I imagined my future self, I could not see myself on the court. I have a rather annoying habit of falling in and out of hobbies and interest, I like to consider myself a jack of all trades. Knowing I wanted to play a sport I asked my father if he had any recommendations. He told me that, “in his years as a businessman he had always regretted
I plan on Graduating, and obtaining my high school diploma On June 2018, I plan on accomplishing my goals by by attending college. After High School I wish to attend Cal State San Bernardino or Cal State San Marcos and enter into their Athletics Program. To get accepted to these colleges I will maintain my grades and do whatever it takes to get into these colleges. Throughout my journey in High School I have taken numerous honors and Ap classes. I have also been in Extra-Curricular activities such as Cross-Country, Soccer and Track and Field. I have also been in the Performing Arts Department all throughout high school and have performed in numerous concerts for Choir. This October I will be taking the SAT so I have a better chance at being
On January 22, 2001, I was born at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. My family and I traveled around for about a year and a half of my life before settling down in Augusta, Georgia. We stayed in Georgia until I finished preschool, then we moved to Greensboro, North Carolina. The first several years living in Greensboro were typical until I reached middle school. In my early years of school, I was the kid who was always so sprightly but when I reached sixth grade that momentum shifted. I let procrastination bury me alive in addition to my low self-esteem leading me into sadness. The only form of serenity during middle school was music. Music rejuvenated my state of mind and permitted me to be happier. Immensely being involved in the choral program at the middle school majorly contributed to my happiness. I received high honors while being in the program that paved my high school choral career to be astounding. However, my academic high school career did not quite meet the same expectations.
As soon as students begin their high school careers, colleges are looking for who will meet the requirements set to be accepted into college. Tulsa Community College specifically requires current high school students to make a certain score on each section of the ACT so they may take college courses while still in high school. For that reason, I took the ACT for the first time just after my sophomore year, hoping to score high enough for concurrent enrollment. Being a concurrent student allows me to receive college credit so that I may have more time for sports or extracurricular activities when I am an actual college student. My main goal is to major in music then have a career in the music industry. The music industry is a difficult career
After high school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for a career. After years of wandering I decided to join the military. I completed basic training and technical school in Texas. I was miles away from the comfort of family and friend back home in Maryland. This was the first time that I was truly on my own. After training was complete I was moved to Spokane, Washington. where I completed my term in Spokane and it was time to reenlist or get out the military. I was ready to have my life back so I decided against enlisting for another term. When it was time for me to discharge the first question everyone asked me was “where I going?”. In my mind I had two choices. I was either going stay in tiny Spokane or go back home to Maryland. I spent a few weeks thinking about my options and at that time I was certain home was the best choice. Moving back home made sense for several reasons:
Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.
In my years after my High School Graduation, and into my college life, I have many goals set in mind for what I want to achieve. My first goal is to graduate from high school finishing with a 4.0 as one of the valedictorians. I wish to continue working very hard in these last two quarters of school. After graduation, I want to attend Bluffton University and study Nursing for four years. I think that getting a nursing degree fits my personality well and that I will highly enjoy that career in my lifetime. I will pursue my Track and Field career there as well, and plan to improve my skills.
