My entire life has been me looking forward. Always looking forward and rarely looking back. Learning from past occurrences and planning the next; I have been a sure handed planner all my life. When I was younger my maturity of very advanced for my age, therefore I only had a select few friends. This helped me keep a level head and remain focused. The years prior to my high school career were a blur of looking onward and imagining my life outside of the chains of community schools. Therefore, I was prepared to be out of high school before I even entered high school. Once the time rolled around to begin high school, I lasted about two years until I realized I was not grasping my full potential. With much persuasion, my mother allowed me to partake in a homeschool program my junior and senior year. …show more content…
Initially, this was a challenge when it came to schoolwork, but with determination it can be done. Once I became homeschooled I was able to work more and still allow myself time for my studies. Within 3 months of being employed at my first job, I was promoted to supervisor which helped further my confidence in my work setting and educational career. Furthermore, causing my gears to begin turning and thoughts of where I would like my life to go became more prominent. There are many paths one can take in life, but my approach has always been to escape the ordinary. This led to the idea of pursuing a journalism career and perhaps moving to a large city. This has always been a dream and I am determined to have this dream realized. With the help of IUPUI I will be able to pursue this passion even further and create a career path that will lead me to success. With these next few months before enrollment, I plan to enhance and fine tune my idea on life. Even when the future is unpredictable there is always a pathway you can follow, and with the right guide anything is
The lunch bell rang loudly in my ear as I packed up my materials from math class. As soon as Mrs. Millie released our class, I raced everyone else in our grade to my locker so I wouldn’t have to wait in the back. I quickly entered the combination into my lock, snatched my lunch box from the top shelf and met up with Whitney by the cafeteria doors to get a good table that wasn’t in the back corner where we normally sat. “So, how have you been since...
I know that as long as I have the awesome support system that I have from my friends and family, I will surely be able to maintain good grades and focus skills while attending Colorado Christian College completing the degree in which I started. I cannot allow anything to hold me back and I will make sure that if I ever feel like I am getting overwhelmed I will make sure that I reach out to my support system to stay on task. Now that I am once again surrounded by success, support, and love and helping hands. I know I can do this this time around, all I need is the door opened. I have faith that this is the right time for me to finally get that career that my family and I
The transition from middle school to high school is what shaped me the most and this adjustment has changed me in both good and bad ways. As a freshman, I enrolled in a private school, called Bridgemont High School. It was a very small school and did not have the same help as the public schools offered. I didn 't have an ELD class and classes providing extra help were limited. Eld means einglish language development, these classes are classes to help develop your english speaking skills even though i can speak english i had poor grammar.
To balance all these expectations, I have had to make an effort to find myself and explore my character so that my self-discovery could guide me to make decisions for my future. This, in turn, has matured me in ways many teens my age have not had a chance to experience. Though I don 't have a concise plan for my future, I have decided that I want to focus on receiving a education that will bring about a career involved in helping others, but is flexible enough that I can spend time with my family. I could not have set this goal for myself I had not been tested by the different components I faced in my life. It is uncertain where I would be today if I had not experienced the challenges brought upon by moving to another country or living with parents who struggled to integrate into the world around them.
My English grade went up from 1s and 2s. My overall grade went up to a 2.5. Additionally, in my school, we have a class called Crew. It’s one teacher with fifteen kids or less, and she helps us with the grades and communicate with the group so that you became comfortable in the group, and she was my crew leader. Looking back, I realized that if i had started high school with the same mentality that I ended it with, I would be more successful now and have much more options for my future.
High school is one of the greatest pivotal times in a human's life. It is where young adults are able to form their own opinions on the world, find activities they are passionate about, and learn to create fruitful relationships with their peers and teachers. However, I did not initially view high school as a period of time for growth and development. Instead, I saw it simply as another task to complete before I entered the real world. I did not take advantage of all the opportunities around me and I began to find school to be institutionalized or meaningless.
Because of my decision to attend an university that is away from home, I can actually say what homesick actually feel like but also understand what it means to be responsible for oneself. As a student, there are times when stress kicks in hard but I know that I can only count myself to go through these inner challenges and motivate myself to success. Just like how Charlotte saw the potentials in women’s abilities, I believed that I can get through these next few years to received my undergraduate degree while gaining life knowledge and skills throughout the journey. Currently, I have one main job and that
I was the first in my family to graduate high school and the first to move on to a post secondary school. I knew that the only way I was going to be able to create the life I envision was to work hard for it and put myself through college. I am currently enrolled at the University of Southern Maine with an undeclared major. I have not yet decided on a career path and have been
Narrative: I moved to Kansas City, Kansas seven years ago. It all started when I was in 6th grade with these girls. I was a different race then them. They thought it would be cool to mess and try to get rid of the white girl. One day, they decided to try everything they possibly can to get me kicked out.
“Weirdo,” “loser,” “really religious,” “freaks,” “really smart,” “really dumb,” “friendless,” “antisocial,” “too many siblings”- the list could go on forever. Anytime I would tell someone that I was homeschooled I knew what came to mind. Shallow stereotypes have become a world view of kids who do not actually attend a school. Most kids experience going to school for the first time at ages four or five. My experience was a little different.
Going into highschool, I was constantly asked by family, friends, and teachers the dreaded question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” While other fifteen year olds at the time seemed to know exactly what their dream occupation was, I had no clue. I went to school, studied, got good grades, but no specific class stood out to me as a favorite. This continued until I took my first chemistry class in my freshman year and my blurry idea of my future started to come into focus. From the beginning, I was immediately intrigued in chemistry.
In the duration of my middle school years, I maintained excellent grades, except I had just one issue that held me back from a satisfying life. That issue was the fact that friends came very hard to me in my middle school years. Before my struggles at my middle school, Trafton, I had a very productive social life in the Elementary school I attended, Roberts Elementary. Here, it was very easy to make friends and have a great social life, since no hard work was required as a kid. Middle school, however, was a great challenge for me.
I have learnt to not think too much because I’ll think my whole life away. Now, I just stop, close my eyes and listen to my heart because I know
When I started high school I felt like I did not belong here. High school was very different from my middle school. Some of my teachers tried to tell me how high school was going to be like for all of us in the moment I believed them but the only advice I valued was my older brothers. “No one is really going to help you or give you direction. In fact, the odds are against you.”
I matured from a annoying, little thirteen year old into a intelligent, successful seventeen year old. Everyone who has been a part of my life, especially those mentioned or pictured in my scrapbook, as helped me grow and flourish. My intelligence level grew, my athletic talent grew, my physical development (continually) grew, and lastly my personality grew. Freshman year, I was originally more reserved and socially awkward, but now I strive to be myself in every shape and form. I’ve learned that being yourself is the best way to make friends, have fun, and succeed through high school.
