My Achievement: My Challenges And Achievements In High School

1051 Words5 Pages

I would like to start this essay off by mentioning my favorite quote “For a candidate, a leader, or anyone, really, the question is not are you flawed? It’s what do you do about your flaws.” Unfortunately, my high school didn’t exactly go as I or anyone hoped it would, and my transcript does say that. Despite trying my best to have good grades in high school, I faced a few problems that did have a lot of impact on my examination results in all four years, which included fractures, injuries, dengue, and a few other diseases. I also had to request for a scribe during my 12th-grade final physics exam due to injury on my right wrist. The gap year has immensely helped me improve myself both academically and health-wise, and I believe I have shown that through the difference between my SAT scores and my high school grades. I would like to request the admissions committee to take into consideration the unfortunate circumstances and the improvement in grades and health-wise over just a year. I believe with the support and guidance I’d receive from the university would tremendously help me with all rounded improvement and I am confident that I am ready to face the challenges a university would present. To me, college is not just about a path to a career, it is more of a place where I could discover myself and work on my overall development, while also getting great exposure. I decided to attend college in the United States since I realized that education in most other

    968 Words  | 4 Pages

    High School was difficult, I remember when I was applying to different colleges and I was told about Landmark College, after my guidance counselor told me and my mom that “she doesn’t have the grades to go to Med School” I still applied to my top choices as well as Landmark and got into them all, I also didn’t feel that I was even going to graduate high school. College was only hard since I struggled in school because of having an LD but I started off at Landmark College in ’09 and transferred a year later then came back a year after transferring, and during that time back at Landmark I had another surgery to move skin that was obstructing my left eye slightly, which went well. I also ended up becoming pregnant in ’12 and had an abortion since we didn’t know how NF was going to react to it and if it would get worse, the only thing I noticed after that was developing a tumor in my lower back that causes a lot of pain, but due to its placement is unable to be removed, but that’s okay.

I feel incredibly proud of this accomplishment because being a first generation student means having a limited amount of support from family members.

    Over the course 3 years in High School, the mistakes I made are what people identified me with. While many of these mistakes are something I may partially regret, I realize that this “partially” is an underscore of what I see. Many of these mistakes I made happened at a much different circumstance that what others had dealt with before. I was able to make those mistakes in a setting and perception that nobody else could afford. While everyone changed, grew, and matured, I had the opportunity to stay behind and develop an ideology that exceeded well beyond the capacity of others.
