Change is inevitable. It’s a potency no man can stand against, you can only adapt to the change, or else you’ll drown in a tidal wave of the unknown. People get complacent in situations, then the rug is pulled from underneath your feet, and you are now lying on the cold, hard ground. The most exuberant change that happened to me was during middle school, and I was completely blindsided, totally unprepared for what lay ahead of me. Seventh grade was phenomenal.
I am a member of the Lady Titan Varsity Soccer team, a member of Key Club and Junior Optimist, and holding a job, all while maintaining good grades. I encourage people to get involved in various activities and can be depended on to help whenever while having fun and enjoying life. So I am a leader to those younger than me and older. I have managed to hold a cumulative grade point average of a 4.0 throughout my freshman and sophomore year, and I am ranked number one in my class. I have worked hard in my classes to earn this great
Since being enrolled in college I have been able to maintain a grade point average of a 3.4 or better for the two semesters that I have attended. Through the ups and downs that came with each semester, I have learned the value of putting in hard work and what it takes to achieve something one desires. Additionally, my academic performance has earned me spots in both the Alpha Lambda Delta National Honor Society and the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society. Furthermore, this summer I was able to intern with a pipeline design company, EN Engineering.
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. At each meet I participated in 4 events including the 100m dash, 200m dash, 4x100m relay, and the 4x200m relay. During my years of high school I have earned several On-time performance awards along with several attendance awards. At the end of my junior year I was awarded with most improved in my academics which is something I strived very hard for to earn.
There isn’t much I remember from elementary school, I never thought anything I did before jr high really mattered. However there is one thing I won’t be able to forget about. Not because it was particularly significant to me, but because it was significant to my father who always brings it up. I’m sure if he hadn’t reminded me of it so frequently I would’ve forgot about it a long time ago. You see, in fifth grade I had a really scrawny nerdy friend who’d get picked on quite often for being like so, and one day he told his dad who also worked with my father and told him that I would stand up for him when he was getting bullied.
As a student, I have shown dedication and ability to manage sports and grades showing the ability to be an National Honors Society member. I have been on the principal's honor roll and high honor roll list throughout high school, including most of my middle school, and elementary school years. Since the beginning of my freshman year of high school, I have maintained over a 3.0 GPA which was during the time of covid. Starting my freshman year of high school was a struggle because of the learning changes.
Freshman year, what an awkward time in my life coming out of middle school with my poor grades I promised myself and my parents I was going to succeed while in high school. Did I though? My grades for sure improved but I still was not putting in as much effort as I should have been. I struggled to be able to communicate with all these new faces and in a completely new school but even outside of school struggled to talk to new people.
I am an active member in a wide variety of activities. I am very involved in 4-H and FFA. Through these clubs, I have participated in many community service projects. I work hard in the classroom and I’m very goal driven. I have a 3.14 GPA, and I strive to do better each and every day.
Threw out my high school career, I have been at Camelback High School within the Montessori program that is relatively new to the school. I wake up early (around 5am) and take the bus everyday to school because I choose not to drive. I have thought about quitting more than once, but decided to stay because I strive for completion. I also pride myself on my honesty. The truth is I always do the bare minimum but I also attempt the extra mile whenever
I hated it. Everything about it made me want to run away. The students, the teachers, my classes, just everything. I sat alone in lunch and I had no friends to hang around with. I got bullied.
Summer was winding down and I was getting ready for school. I was kind of nervous but I felt good. I was ready to out of middle school. I heard that the upper classman were really rude to the freshman so I was nervous.
Middle school was an extremely rough time for me. I was bullied constantly. I was like the figurative punching bag of the school (I was never physically harmed). This eventually made me leave the public school system and go to a completely different Catholic High School. I picked the one High School in the area that nobody from my old school was going to.
All I was doing, was eating my lunch. "You suck," "You cant do anything!" Tears rolled down my eyes... It was February 1st, 2016, and I just finished math class. I was really stressed out in math because I was just out sick for two days and I wasn't understanding anything.
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.
My high school is highly competitive and I’m grateful that I was surrounded by such wonderful peers and teachers. Completing high school, I received 12th place out of almost 450 students, with a weighted GPA of 4.244. Despite my hard course load,
