We live in a competitive society where everyone always wants to be the best and take that glorious number 1 spot. Some people are born naturally smart and don't have to struggle or suffer to survive in our modern world. However, some of us aren't so lucky and are left handicapped for life whether we like it or not. My burden was and is a language disorder, discovered at the age of 5. This disorder made my studies and expressing myself very difficult and I realised that it would affect and impact my life in many ways. Though this weakness was disheartening, it has encouraged me to overcome my fears and take my strengths into control which empowers me to do well, pushing my positives to the limit and be the bulletproof, hardworking student I …show more content…

It was obvious that I was going to take maths for my A levels as all accountants have to be good with analysing and interpreting figures. I think that there is a similar concept between chemistry and accountancy. In accountancy, a balance sheet needs to be balanced and every debit needs to have a credit. Likewise, in chemistry, numbers of atoms are needed to be balanced on each side for the reaction from reactants to compounds. Besides this, the computing skills I have gained during my GCSE years have given me a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel which will help me to further understand accounting …show more content…

Personally, I felt that my strengths and weaknesses were put to the test when planning and organising our expedition in advance. I believe that in the future, this will help me with time management when studying or working and will also help me with my organisation skills. Overall, this course led me to have better communication, teamwork, problem solving, leadership and orienteering skills and it even raised my self confidence. In addition I also tutored math to students who were struggling. I have done this for a year and hope to do it for another as it was a satisfying experience. I found that as I was teaching, I was learning as well. Polishing my teaching and learning skills and discovering new learning methods that would work best for the various people that I

    “Here, Kyle.” My teacher said, handing me my report card. I stared at it in amazement as I had accomplished the worse grades in my high school career. I had a 2.83 GPA for the first semester and I knew there was only one thing I needed to do: get better grades. To accomplish that I needed to do three things: start doing my homework more often, study for every test, and make school my top priority.

    Our society has been founded on the principles of beginning one’s life through flourishing in an education system. Building a foundation to build on as one ages has proven to be substantially beneficial, yet it is not without its advantages and disadvantages. Being a high schooler, my experience is well defined and unique compared to those who are younger to me, as they are still going through what I have passed and learned from. High school is distinctive in that it not only prepares you for the life upcoming, but creates an environment analogous to the difficulties of the modern world.

    In the fall of 1997 I became a Young Life volunteer leader and almost instantly I knew ‘I was made for this mission!’ Ironically, a few years later I came on staff with Young Life and our organization started using the tag line “You were made for this”. Since then, I have never felt more in sync with an organization than I do with Fuller. The ideals, background and family the seminary has created appeal to the person God has created me to be. I feel well prepared to begin the Master’s in Theology degree this Winter and I could not be more excited!
