698 Words3 Pages

Throughout my short, 18 years of life, high school has been the most impactful event thus far. Because of the experiences I’ve been through, the classes I have attended, the memories I’ve made, and the people I’ve met, I have been shaped into the person I am today. Each moment and memory has contributed to my personality and molded me into a prototype of the person I wish to be. Although my experiences have contributed to making high school memorable, the most important part for me has been the people who have touched my life. I contribute a huge part of who I am today to the people who have surrounded me these past 4 years. My fellow students, my friends, and most importantly, my family have all played a part in helping me grow into the best …show more content…

I am so in awe and inspired by the love and compassion you share every day. I have witnessed you go to the ends of the earth just to make sure your children are happy. Your selflessness is admirable and inspires me to try and show the utmost kindness to those around me. I always hope to grow up with a heart as full and caring as yours. Not only do you inspire me with your kind nature, but you also push me to be the best student I can be. You have always enforced the fact that education is a privilege and that I should take the opportunities I’ve been given and run with them. School hasn’t always been the easiest for me, but you have taught me to aim for the things I want, even if it takes countless years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance to get there. I have never felt that there is something I couldn’t achieve, because with a good work ethic and a steady mind set, I can accomplish anything I set my sights on. Next year I will be attending the University of Oregon with a full ride scholarship. This made me realize how much hard work I truly put into my studies. Although I know it was my choice to work as hard as I did, I can’t help but contribute this success to the lessons you have instilled within me. You have taught me that nobody has naturally good work ethic, that it must be sought after and earned. With this mindset I have achieved many things and have been successful, even when

Dear Rossier School of Education Faculty, Throughout my education I was not expected to succeed, english being my second language and attending low socioeconomic schools in the city of Santa Ana I was deemed to dropout of school like the majority of children before me. I rarely remember having a student-teacher relationship with an educator throughout my education, and as I succeeded academically my teachers were surprised but nothing more than surprised. Then there were the teachers that made all the difference, teachers that went above and beyond and left an everlasting impact on how I view education, and essentially what made achieving a higher education possible. With the guidance of teachers, instructors and school faculty I was admitted to the University of California Irvine which was not only an accomplishment and a dream of mine but an accomplishment for my family. My journey through education is still the reality of many children attending low socioeconomic schools and/or public schools today, Just like the amazing mentors I had throughout my education, I want to make a difference alongside of them by creating positive and supporting

I sometimes close my eyes and think back to all the times in my life where I achieved a goal that I didn’t think was possible: from my first bike ride, to my first time on horseback; from performing in my first dance recital, to competing in my first rodeo; from getting chosen to perform that ballet solo, to being elected class officer; from earning that A in my first college class, to being inducted into the National Honor Society. When I take a moment and remember all the successes that shaped the person I am today, I cannot imagine reaching any of these achievements without the people who helped me along the way. Growing up surrounded by a large family, my memories are filled with my parents and grandparents, my two brothers, and too many

No matter what time zone I am in, my phone buzzes most frequently when I am asleep. Whether a missed call from a friend in Kenya, an email from a musical collaborator in Canada, or a LinkedIn message from a U.K. investor in my educational startup, I eagerly wake each morning to many new notifications. Growing up, I traveled extensively, living on three different continents. In fact, my passport looked like my coloring book. Learning five languages and adapting to foreign environments while maintaining my identity, has taught me to value different skills, including networking.

Looking back to my younger years, I never wanted to play or even talk to the older kids in the playground. Just the fact of them being older than me intimidated me, so I would play only with kids in my age group. The summer of my junior year, my parents didn’t have money to be spending on the little stuff that I wanted, so I decided to apply at Burger King. Fast food restaurants usually just have teenagers working there right? Wrong.
