Prosper ISD Application Essay

1286 Words6 Pages

I have been on many roads in my life. I started on the rough dirt roads of Chennai, India. When I was three, my family moved to America, and I have moved five more times since. Each time, my family followed new roads to new cities, where new challenges and opportunities awaited. As I’ve grown older, I have begun to focus on a different road: a road to my future. Attending college has been an ongoing dream throughout my life. Reaching the big leagues would be one of my major goals and accomplishments.

Prosper ISD has five main points in its graduate profile, each with its own specific value and meaning. First, Prosper ISD believes that students should exhibit academic readiness. This means that students must be able to prepare for the future and learn in a way that will help them succeed past their high school years. I exhibit this quality as I am taking numerous AP-weighted classes, including AP Pre-Calculus, AP US History, and AP Physics. These are college-level classes that help thrust my learning level forward. Also, I am taking AP Statistics, Computer Science 3, AP Computer Science Principles, and hopefully Prosper Career Independent Study.

    My move from my home state of Maryland to Georgia has greatly influenced my goals and perspectives. When I lived in the city area of Maryland, I had a limited viewpoint of life as a person who knew only of the city and had relaxed belief of living only within my comfort zone of what a city had to offer, however that changed when I moved to Georgia. Georgia proved itself to be a very different experience for me. Georgia is a lot bigger than Maryland so there was more place for its cities to be more spread apart and the environment had a more forestry background than what I knew at the young age. The change of setting and accustoms associated from the very different places made me realize that depending on a person’s position one object can be

However, the summer before I turned 6 years old, my father brought me back to the U.S. to Los Angeles, California. By then, my parents were already divorced.
