Growing up I use to watch television a lot, so I thought everything that happened on T.V happens in life. I imagined high school exactly like Zoey 101, or Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Then I came to realization that it’s the complete opposite. Although I did enjoy kindergarten all the way up to elementary school everything after that was very miserable for me. The only person who really helped me through it all was my mother. As a result of thinking we can do everything ourselves we can’t so most of the time we fail; nevertheless we always need somebody we can count on.

I have accomplished many of my greatest features throughout life because …show more content…
By the end of high school I got the chance complete so many new courses in all subjects and fields ever before. As an only child I tend to be very picky and I set my standards to the impossible; although that may be true I only have my mom to thank for taking me out my comfort zone and trying so many new things. There’s so much to learn but we tend to have selective learning, where people only want to learn information that is closer to their interests and person beliefs. I feel as if no matter how much we learn we still don’t know everything, that’s why it’s better for us more open-minded. Being open-minded requires a lot of faith. You have to believe that you will succeed to succeed. Believing and having faith in yourself is great but knowing someone who truly cares about you has a great amount of faith in you as well is even better. That someone was and still is my mother. My mother supports me 110% in everything I do. For example I used to want to be a fashion designer she had faith that whatever I put my mind to I can do it and she helped me along the way. Over time I changed my mind and continuously changed my mind but
If one is open to hearing different viewpoints instead of jumping quickly to shut them down, one could learn something they new they never knew before that could strengthen or even change their
I 'm not a native of Pennsylvania. Anyone can tell that from my intense love of snow and fall, two things you couldn 't find in a South Florida city like where I lived, where temperatures were always high and foliage stayed the same year round. If you were born in Pennsylvania, you grew up hearing people tell stories of hitting a deer at night meanwhile I grew up hearing stories of people finding alligators in their backyard. Most people know what it 's like to move to a new place, whether it 's a new town, state or country, however, I feel my dramatic move along with the circumstances surrounding it are unique. It taught me that you can make the best out of even the worst situations.
Could I shy away from the world and study harder? Should I succumb to the stereotypes? What could I do to be able to showcase my intellectual ability as well as my potential? These questions pushed me to have a more in-depth thought process. Being the child of two immigrants isn't easy, and I know many other people have said the same thing.
Even though she didn’t go to college, she inspires me to live the life she didn’t have the chance to live. My mother is the greatest impact in my life. Yes, you can say I’m a “momma’s girl”, I love my mother with all my heart. She is beautiful, loving, smart, and I would do anything to keep her happy and by my
When I started Unity High School I thought that it was going to be boring school because my first choice was Skyline but my mom made me come to this school so I had to obey what my mom wants because she takes care of me and helps me with whatever I need help with so going to the school that she wanted me to go to was the least I could have done. I thought that high school was going to be difficult because the work that my brother would bring home when he was in high school looked really hard and I did not understand most of the work he needed to complete. But I realized that I need to be taught the material before I go on and do the work
I had one defining experience that really showed my transition from childhood to adult hood. I had the fantastic opportunity to participate in a residential high school, the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, and the first year I had attended this school was my junior year. Going there I had known what I was required of both academically and artistically because I had already attended both of the summer intensives that they provided for my vocal performance. But my junior year is when I had experienced this change into my adult life and when I had left behind my childhood.

High school is one thing that a vast majority of people have experienced. Several of those who are acquainted with the high school experience are well aware of how terrible it can be; it is "the mouth of a great demon biting and chewing and smushing people in the face" (Jesse Andrews) leaving us in ruins after we graduate. It is a place to put awkward teenagers that adults do not want to deal with. It is a place where individuality and dissent are encouraged, but also crushed. High school is simply irrelevant and overwhelming and it must be reevaluated.
As I grew older I knew the actions I had to take to accomplish my goals. Since I started college I have faced many obstacles but that was more of a reason to continue pushing myself and not give up.

What led me to college was high school, my mother and my family members; they had amazing advice to share with me.

High school and high school musical have their similarities originating from everyday life when in reality they differ in the reality of students, teachers, classes, sports and musicals.

High school has impacted my life in so many ways. High School taught me so many things, from personal relationships to creating a relationship with my education. As a freshman, I made a huge amount of mistakes and I regret doing foolish things, but I’ve realized, I was only maturing into the young adult I am today. Freshman year, I was out of focus and I was only trying to find myself. I would also prioritize other things and ignore my parent’s advice, where they would tell me to focus in school and give it my full attention.
The work values she instilled in me made me the hard worker I am, from my first job ever to all the hard work I am putting into my education now. I thank her so much for this because if I didn't have that in me I don't know where I would be today. She also raised me with a strong faith in

The past four years of my life hold both my highest of highs and my lowest of lows. High school can be a very awkward time period in a person’s life. Four years ago, I made the intimidating switch from St. Mary’s School to Algoma High School. There were certain aspects of high school which made me nervous, but academics was not one of them. I learned how to be a responsible student in my earlier years, and school had always come relatively easy to me.
