Riverview High School: Personal Statement

I’m Molly McDaniel and I’m currently a junior at New Brockton High School. I’ve lived in and attended school in New Brockton my entire life, so my Gamecock Pride runs deep. My home is just out of the city limits and I live there with my mom and dad (Christy and Mike) and my little brother, Cole. I also have two dogs, Bonnie and Bandit.

Hello my name is Hannah Hagen, I go to Saint Rose Catholic School. In less than a year I hopefully will be attending Paso Robles High School. I want to participate in the magazine club; I always have loved to interact with others and I love to do creative writing. In my school I give input on each subject, I’m a very vocal person. While others might view that as a negative trait but I think that it is very good to speak your mind and voice your opinion. I volunteer at the local food shelter and feed the hungry. I also participate in volleyball and basketball. I’ve been playing sports my whole life and plan to play different kinds. At my school I participate in the technology program; it is one of my favorite

If I knew then what I know now I would let up and coming 8th graders know about requirements, friendships, & the building. High School is said to be one of the best times of your life. But, it can also be a scary experience. It is up to you how your high school experience turns out to be. I have only been in high school for twos years. It has been stressful but yet its been extremely fun. Spartanburg High School has many exciting opportunities for you and I to try out.

Four years of my life drained away at this place called Troy High School. After this year I will be walking away from Troy, worn and torn from the hours of anticipation for grades to be posted, the next weekend to arrive, the answer to whether that special someone will say yes to the next dance, or the unbearable wait for that painstaking bell to ring. Troy is a place of education, a very good one at that, with its Blue Ribbon Award and national recognition, you’d think I would be walking away with knowledge that will serve me well for decades to come, but no. I could have learned the same things I learned at Troy anywhere, it is the insight I picked up that will take me far. “What insight?” you ask. Its priceless wisdom really, it’s a

It was october first and Andy was called at the police station for murder. He got into the police van and drove to riverdale high school. He and his team arrived at 11:40 ten minutes after they got the call. He talked to Mr.Hansen -the principal- then took some students in for questioning.

Many of us have made it to that threshold where it’s time for us to decide on which route to take. Knowing that there is a limited amount of routes available whereas each route has equal chance of reform, Which route will you take? Imagine hanging out with two of your closest friends and the question pops up “What’s the next step?”. In the midst of your friends excitedly share their plans, you are stuck with thoughts of uncertainty. While your each friend continues to boast about their futures, you realized that you had no concrete plan after high school. As a result of you feeling uncertainty and discomfort, all you could think about was the debt free aspect, the quick money, and no more school. You then convinced yourself that attending

Well, there once was a time, after the graduation of the class of 2019 from the school of Rivercrest High School. Three people had an unwelcoming time after leaving the school. They all didn’t know each other but they had interacted together. These are their stories and how they changed forever.

This caused me to have no motivation to do my work and so my grades began to go downhill. My hate for Skyline grew even more as my report cards came in the mail. This was the sign to make a change. After begging and arguing for two years with my mother, she finally made the decision to transfer me to Oakland High. At this school, I shined. My grades skyrocketed and my social skills bursted into an ever growing tree of wisdom and friendship. For example, I joined many clubs, but one club that stood out to me the most was Key Club. This got me really interested in service and helping the community. I got more involved in helping and serving others. One service that I took to heart was when I cleaned up my own neighborhood on 23rd avenue. Doing this made me want to take interest in leadership and apply for the secretary position of the Key Club board. After I won the position in an intense race against me and one of my closest friends, I soon began to realize that I could do so much more. I challenged myself with a bigger task of applying to become an ASB officer. After hearing how challenging it is, but also how rewarding it can be, I took a shot at running for ASB Public Relations and won! As an ASB officer, I have aquired many skills. Throughout

Leake Central High School has provided me with all the necessary coursework to fulfill college admission requirements; however, it does not offer AP or IB courses. Many surrounding schools offers ample honors courses; therefore, colleges are more likely to choose them to fill the prestigious honor college positions. The coursework in the academic courses offered have limited challenging aspects, so I feel that I have a small variety of advanced educational opportunities.

Being involved in three different schools during my four high school years has provided me the opportunity to learn how to adapt to new situations. High school provides a completely different atmosphere than college. Having experienced the disparity between Kent Meridian High School and Green River College through the running start program, I learned to adapt to different situations and become successful in both. This is done by becoming involved in the school community and using the tools that become available through the resulting relationships. In these relationships I have brought the love of Jesus and would continue to do this at Seattle Pacific University because despite not going to a Christian high school, I have been raised to love

Have you ever just felt like high school was too easy? Well I have because I felt like the teachers just passed you on. They didn’t give me a challenge like I was supposed to have and from that being, now I have to prepare myself for the college life and teach myself the things I was supposed to be taught in high school. The school I came from didn’t have a math teacher or a history teacher all year so we just sat in the class rooms and played everyday all day and I still ended up passing and that school was Albany Early College. They told me that I would finish high school with an associate degree but all I got was a discombobulated school and an uncontrolled school. The next school I went to didn’t care either. They showed me that I can skip class everyday and still pass with an A average. Despite all the things I didn’t get taught in high school, I did learn some unique aspects that I can reflect on and use for college. The skills I reflect on are annotating, using the Cornell note-taking system, and how to be on time for school.

I’ll admit that UNLV was not my first choice of colleges. Actually, I didn’t even apply when I was searching for a college to transfer to last year. I planned to escape Las Vegas (for the third time) and head to the east coast. I was offered a scholarship worth nearly $40,000 a year at Warren Wilson College. A small, private, liberal arts college and working farm tucked against a river bed in the mountains of North Carolina just outside Asheville. I know, it sounds idyllic. Choosing not to take that opportunity, for various and sundry reasons, nearly broke my heart. So this fall, I enrolled myself in just one class at CSN, one I didn’t actually need it, with a professor I admire and respect and whose lectures I enjoy simply because I love going to school. The idea of languishing for an entire semester seemed horrifying to me. I never thought I’d be the type of person to say that. I’m nearly 30 and a high school drop out, but choosing to go back to school was the single greatest decision I have ever made for myself. It has given me so much in terms of confidence, enrichment, and interpersonal skills, but more than that it’s given me a passion and a drive I didn’t know I had.

a high school student, now is a critical time in the progression of my goal. However, this often becomes a difficult accomplishment for me to work towards when I have limited access to the vast and intriguing world around me. At my school I feel coddled. I am kept under the wings of my loving, yet ever protective teachers. In school, there is no way for me to challenge myself with thought-provoking classes or immerse myself into a dynamic student life.

As a freshman in high school, only fourteen years old, I was as careless and immature as a teenager could get. A school was no more than a place I was forced to be each day. The first two years were filled with this carelessness and immaturity. I now view those first two years as a waste and look down upon them. As I became older and wiser I came to realize the importance of education and how school was a stepping-stone to my future. For the next two years of high school, I vowed to change my outlook on school and life in general. I went from being careless, immature, ignorant of school and learning, and noninteractive with other and the world around me to trying my hardest at everything I did and being interested in learning new things both

The past four years of high school have been full of change, development, and discovery. I have grown into a more conscientious, outgoing, and considerate young women who is now ready to face the next chapter in her life--college. My high school experiences-- challenging classes that have taught me to precisely express my thoughts, extracurricular activities where I am able to expand and express my ideas, and a social action trip in Chicago-- have helped shape my intellectual and personal outlook, creating a strong foundation for my career as a student at La Salle University.
