As Venita VanCaspel Harris once said, “We are to seek success in everything we do, always acting with honor and treating others with respect.” I always try my best to help my classmates when they are struggling with school assignments. For example, many of my friends are currently taking Calculus and, even though I took this course last year, I try my best to always clarify the information and explain to them how to do the problems rather than doing the problems for them. In addition, I never help my classmates with the thought of receiving anything in return. Furthermore, my primary life goal is to finish high school and to be the first of my family to attend and complete college so that I may be a rolemodel for my cousins and sisters.
High School Graduation The beginning of the Highs School year,was a new experience for me,because of begin alone in the school without knowing nobody, not knowing the language and have zero knowledge of the academic level i need it to have in order to graduate, on the mid senior year of high school,i got a call from the counselor Mr.Calume,he told me that, in order to graduate i need it to pass 4 states exams that can be only due 2 times per year semester,and i was in my last semester of high school,so the chances of me passing those test were low for me. There for, i meet some olds friends from when i was a child from my country (Venezuela) they have move to the same school i me,so they reached me some tips and trick to pass
I will understand that every student is different and embrace every challenge. My goal is to strive as a positive role model by influencing moral character with
Beep, beep, beep, beep, bee- “Ugh,” I groaned. It was Wednesday morning and I had a big math final today. I got up out of bed and went to go open my white curtains, that hung low to my floor. The sun welcomed my face with a warm, bright embrace.
Entering high school my freshman year, many things were new to me, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to get involved in as a student. The only thing I was sure of was that I was going to play high school soccer. I’d been playing soccer since I was about 8 years old, and finally having the ability to play for the high school I grew up watching was exhilarating. My main goal going into the soccer program was that I wanted to make the varsity soccer team by my senior year in high school- my brother had been a former varsity player, and I greatly wanted to fill his shoes and leave my mark at the school. Throughout my four years in the program, that was my main focus, but I was happy to discover that I was also making friends along the way.
There was no warning, no dramatic police report, nothing that resembled the movies I watched growing up. I shouldn 't have been surprised, seeing how Yuba City was so insignificant to the rest of the world, but I suppose deep in my heart I was disappointed. I remember walking through the halls, not running, as if the hall monitor was still watching. He was dead.
Life after High School for many students can be a confusing and difficult time. There are many options one could take after obtaining a High School diploma, such as pursuing higher education for a degree, exploring alternatives to education during a “gap year,” or entering the workforce immediately after High School. My personal individual plans for life after High School consist of attending college and pursuing a degree in Psychiatry. First of all, there have been influences in my personal life that have led to my decision of pursuing college right after High School. A personal influence of mine is my own personal struggles with clinical depression for over four years, this detail of my life has caused me to believe that I should make something of myself and do good for those who have suffered like myself.
Before I started school I did nothing but work, sleep and hang with my friends. I had time to go where I wanted and do more that I wanted. I also got a lot more sleep. I pretty much had that “get up and go whenever” type of life outside of work. But once school started, that all came to a screeching halt.
Looking back at my middle school years all I can see is a series of awkward moments. If I could go back with the knowledge I know now I do not think I would do that much different. I probably would not try to fit in so much. I always tried to fit in to cliques, which is a group of close friends who do not let in outsides, and I was trying to be like them instead of myself so I could fit in (Berger, 2014: 365). Trying to fit in I think I lost who I was and tried to become everything I was not.
8th grade One cold day in October I was on my way to class when the school had a gas drill, everyone ran outside and lined up by there teachers, everything was going well for me till some girls keep putting grass on my hoodie “stop doing that, also why are you doing that?” after I said that they stops for a minute and started doing it again, “you know that this is boring so just let me do this *smile*” said the girl although it was itchy and made me mad I let her do it till we went inside and since then we’ve been friends.
I couldn’t stand up. My legs felt as if they didn’t work and I could barely breath. This was the greatest feeling I’ve ever experienced. I knew I had just gotten my first high school swimming gold medal.
All of my high school years i 've wanted to be remembered and leave an impact on this school. I wanted to be involved and try my hardest in everything I do, and excel even more. I love this school and would not want to graduate from anywhere else, continuing my family tradition. I have been a participant in track, show choir and also band.
After five years of living in San Jose, California, I was enrolled in nine grade at the beginning of High School. However, school in America was completely different as compared to my school life in Vietnam because, instead of staying in the same class and experiencing a change of teachers for different lessons in Vietnam but, I had to switch classes for the different lessons in America. In High School, I experienced many challenging tasks with English communication with the teachers and students and making friends was another challenge that forced me to eat lunch all by myself. Food served at the cafeteria was another challenge and I could not eat well because I was not aware of the different types of food and I had to be careful to stick
I dedicated myself to passing geometry in order to be accepted at CSU Channel Islands. Unfortunately, my admission was rescinded because I did not meet the geometry requirement because I went through a lot of stress meanwhile geometry being a challenging subject for me was not helping the situation. I was close to meeting the requirement, but I was not able to improve enough. As I previously mentioned, I went through a lot of stress during my senior year because I was going through personal issues.
Throughout my life I have strived to achieve my goals solely on hard work and determination. My parents have taught me my work ethic and I am proud to say that I am hardworking and can learn most skills fast. I love people so it makes me a very friendly person so I can get along with anybody and that’s important because I can be around many different people and personalities. I focus really well and if I have a task at hand I will finish it with no hesitation and to the best of my ability. I enjoy learning new things so any chance I get I will try to learn a new way to help me in my classes.
Essay C I have obtained what seems to be a ticket to high school, literally. I am still in the 11th grade, but if I use this ticket it will take me to the next level (being 12th). I don’t know what to do. Do I use the ticket and skip like ¾ of the 11th grade or do I stay and learn everything I need to know for around 5 or 6 more months
