The privilege of getting a quality education, participating in a superb athletic program, and being surround by ample opportunities to volunteer and lead are things I took advantage of throughout my high school career. I’ve worked diligently to improve my character these past four years and am proud of my many accomplishments. I have achieved a 3.98 unweighted GPA and a 29 superscored ACT. Unfortunately my ACT score don 't allow me to distinguish myself from other students at a superb university, but I don’t believe that my test scores accurately reflect my true ability. My lengthy résumé is filled with ample opportunities that I have taken to improve my school, community, and self. I believe that my successes in extracurricular activities manifest my dedication to self-improvement as equally as my test scores and GPA. My devotion towards things that I cherish is evident. I plan to take my passions with me throughout college and my career, and channel that fervor towards different directions as I augment my goals. …show more content…

Madisen Hansen Period A3 There are twenty six letters in the alphabet, and never had I thought that five letters could be arranged in such a painful way. APUSH was a class that I had originally taken because my parents simply did not think I could do it. So I took the hardest class in the school. But I didn’t learn just history.
I am pretty sure everyone in this classroom by now knows what college administrators want to see, this includes extracurricular activities, your gpa and SATs. Now, I understand that extracurricular activities determine how active in sports or how helpful to the community a student was after school hours.
As a student, I strive for excellence. In middle school, I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society at Strong Foundations Charter School. As a sophomore, I have taken two math classes and gone without a study hall to be able to fulfill my academic desires. I have also taken Honors level classes since my first semester of high school and continuously make the honor roll. I aim to continue to take honors and AP classes to be able to reach my full potential as a student.
Throughout my high school career have been, running track and field freshman through senior year finishing 1st in my 4X200m relay at the regional competition, earning awards, and JV / Varsity letters. During the track season I balanced practice for two hours or meets for 5 hours, along with a job and school.

During my years of high school I have earned several On-time performance awards along with several attendance awards.

My academic achievements throughout my high school career show that hard work and dedication truly do pay off in the long run. All throughout my sophomore
This is what the National Honor Society hopes for in a member. I know i’m not perfect and can make mistakes at times, but acknowledging that takes a lot of character. My academic achievements are a result of my determination and drive to ensure that i’ll be able to achieve success in the future as well as serve as role model to the younger siblings and cousins in my family. Getting good grades is a priority to me. Having a XX GPA and being a Distinguished Varsity Scholar for the past 3 years didn 't happen by luck, it happened because of the sheer dedication I have towards my school and

The opportunities given to the body of students at Little Falls stays true to the school 's mission statement: To be educationally affective and academically effective.

Being cognizant of the benefits of education and utilizing my education to best prepare myself for the upcoming stage in my life, regardless of assigned work, has enhanced my academic performance.
Although my grades were not always consistent, I never earned less than a B for a final grade in my English courses. Often my instructors privately told me that my papers were the best in the class and shared my work with others. My writing secured me a free trip to London and Paris with my business club as well as my acceptance into multiple colleges. I am certain my extracurricular activities, including cheerleading, volleyball, community service projects, fundraisers and employment also played a vital role in these accomplishments. Of all the schools to which I applied, only VSU waitlisted me probably because of my phobia about standardized examinations, which caused me not to perform as well as I should have on the SAT.
It is my desire to attend the United States Naval Academy. My goal is to follow in my father 's footsteps as an officer in the naval branch of our armed forces. My father began his career as an enlisted seaman twenty years ago and is now serving as a Lieutenant. Being the son of a Lieutenant in the United States Navy, I have always had an interest in the military and a desire to also serve and follow his footsteps. It was not until high school when I decided that I wanted to attend the Naval Academy.
Before I transferred to the University of Illinois I had been enrolled and successfully completed courses at two other institutions previously. The various transitions affected several aspects of my scholarly experience including social life, university extracurricular involvement, and grades. Once accepted into the University of Illinois for the last year and half of my undergraduate career I made a stance to redeem myself. I sought a network of colleagues and mentors that dedicated their personal time to my cause; finishing my undergraduate degree within the 4 year margin. As I became involved in organizations like the National Association of Black Journalist and the university's athletic department performing as a video production editorial intern, I essentially contrived my talents and calling as a motivational figure and speaker among my peers.
Something that I consider to be both a strength and a weakness in my social work career is my gentle and reassuring manner. On the surface, this may seem like an excellent trait to have. I am very much a “people person” and others are naturally drawn to me. I tend to look at situations in a positive light as much as possible and have become an expert in removing tension between family members or dealing with end-of-life concerns. The majority of the residents value this quality in me and seek me out when a difficult decision needs to be made.
During the second semester, through faith in God, and my determination to succeed, I worked hard to bring my increase my G.P.A and took advantage of the resources provided by Xavier, including, the writing center, tutors, and office hours, which helped me perform better and at the end of the semester, I received a 3.7 G.PA . I have maintained a high G.P.A since that day and even received a 4.0 in the previous multiple semesters. In addition, I made it my mission to retake some of the courses that I performed poorly in and earned an A grade in all of them. I have earned mostly A’s and some B’s in my college years, multiple dean’s list recognition, academic honors, and a cumulative 3.745/4.000 G.P.A. This not only shows my growth as a student but also shows my potential to succeed in Law
Extracurricular activities and accomplishments I am not part of any sport or athletic pursuits, despite my long legs and the many proclamations that I should be out for basketball. I have not been given gifts in such highly coordinated activities, and I’m afraid I’m too calm and I don’t handle aggression very well. I am part of many musical pursuits, though, and I have been musically inclined since I was very little.
