Have you ever made a decision you just dreaded but you knew it would benefit you in the end? When you make a decision that’s right for you are most likely to succeed. When school started I was faced with a decision to make. I had to choose to go to alternative school or go to traditional school. And I ended up going to traditional school because I didn’t want to leave because I enjoyed going to traditional school. But a few weeks after school started I was called to guidance to talk with my guidance counselor. And when I got there she didn’t sugar code nothing she came straight out and said I wasn’t going to graduate because I didn’t have enough credits, couldn’t pass the EOC or FCAT and I had really poor GPA. So with that being said I made the decision to go to an alternative school named Fresh Start. …show more content…
My guidance counselor told me I had 14.5 credits and I needed 17 to be considered a senior. And so I knew what I had to do. I didn’t want to but I knew it would benefit me in the end. On top of me not having enough credits you need 24 credits to graduate and I don’t have nearly as many I need to reassure myself that I will graduate on time. And going to Fresh Start I knew I would be able to get all my credits that I needed. Because the program I’m doing gives you the work you actually need to complete and not a bunch of extra stuff. And every credit
And things started going good again. I finicky went to school! My school was the district one-room. Then after that I when attended Black River Academy in
I was attending Jefftown high school but it started to be too much pressure on me, so I dropped out like the third day of school. I know what’s right my unborn child and I, so I don’t need anyone telling me right from wrong. Thankfully I have a couple best friend named Carrie that are always there for me.
Freshman year came along and I wanted to attend Sullivan High School. I wanted to come back to my hometown, I was just missing the people I started it all out with in the beginning. My dad and I had all of the paperwork finished already to go for me to attend Sullivan High School in August, but my mom refused and wouldn’t budge to let me go. She didn’t want me going to Sullivan, she wanted me to stay with all of my new friends I had made at Owensville. She thought my best bet would be to stay and proceed to go to OHS.
Presently, High School has been changing point before going to college and beginning my dream. Before my breaking point I need one more step. I required the doubt to decide if I would be joining an extra curriculum activity, demanding decision for a freshman to make before even meeting my teachers. A month before I started school, my brother convinced me to join the Hawthorne High School Band and Color Guard. I meet the band director Mr. Hughes, who has always believed I had a talent and did his best to polish my color guard skills year by year to be the outstanding person he sees.
As a person who strives to achieve for the best, being a part of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) would clearly elevate my position beyond what I have achieved. The society consists of outstanding students who have the characteristics from the 5 everyday pillars of NJHS- scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. It is not the average organization where anyone can join, but I believe that I, Dexin Kong, fit into these five categories from what I keep as morals and my actions throughout middle school. Scholarship is something that I hold in high regard- and with this, I like to think that all my hard work will pay off in the future to allow me to reach great achievements through high school, college, and a career.
As adults who are responsible for making sure we are put on the right path to succeed, it can be a very daunting task. According to New Haven Independent, “21.0 percent of kids in the Class of 2012 dropped out” (Bailey, Melissa) of our high school. With the intense efforts of making students go to college immediately after graduation, it is very evident that schools are pushed from above (aka the school system) to justify their existence and are forced to compete with graduation rates. These pressures are not about the students but simply just politics, or a way of redemption for New Haven Public Schools. However, the burden of requiring us to make a decision is still unreasonable.
I am just one more step closer to my dreams. I Am very happy to start my Senior
Working at Goodrich represents a unique opportunity to connect with the Williams Community on a daily basis. Indeed, Goodrich will be a great place for me to meet people from the Community and to connect with them. Thus, I will be able to get to know more people while at the same time making them feel comfortable at Goodrich. In addition, I have always had a passion for marketing and serving people and Goodrich stands as an opportunity for me to satiate people’s needs and to welcome them in a warming way. Working in school tuck shops has been a reenergizing activity for me as I help people and working at Goodrich will be a source of energy for me at Williams.
Many of us are faced with tough times, hard decisions, and struggles but there are only certain people that have the willpower and determination to overcome those obstacles and change their life for the better. Many of us are faced by little challenges like when the alarm clock goes off for school. Do we get up and go to school or do we go back to bed? The immediate reward is going back to bed and getting the satisfaction of more sleep but the downfall is that you miss your classes. This didn’t seem like an important decision for me until I got to college.
Completing 7.5/24 credits my first year was not my major accomplishment, though. To me, the opportunities in JROTC showed me how problem-solving and community are my driving factors. Our accomplishments were my accomplishment.
I would be privileged to become part of the family at Acadia University. All the academic challenges that I may face, I am willing to overcome. I am academically fit to go to Arcadia because I currently have a GPA of 4.27, which exceeds the average GPA of most freshmen enrolled. My PSAT scores from 2014 projected my SAT scores to be around 1400. Arcadia looks at various types of SAT scores and has no specific score to be eligible to attend.
I have attended Front Range Community College for the past 3 years. Before attending this school, I had no purpose and no direction in life. The prime reason for not attending college was out of fear of failure. I had previously registered with the school in 2010, but did not register for any courses. In the same year, I had been diagnosed with PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder), and had sought help with a local Veterans Affair clinic.

I am the ideal candidate for the Kelley School of Business because I am eager for the challenges and rewards this higher education will bring me. I strive to become the best employee, friend, or student so that I can lead by example for others around me.

Things such as, working well under extreme pressure, remaining calm and organized within hectic environments, and especially being time efficient.
