When I started high school, the club that excited me the most, was National Honors Society. So, at the first chance I got, in my sophomore year. After being a member for a year, I quickly realized that I wanted to take on a leadership opportunity in the club. So, I took a shot for the stars, and campaigned for being president of Honors Society. Though I had some competition, I put my all into composing a speech, and I won the presidency, and I have been president since.
Next year at Embry-Riddle I plan start studying Cyber Intelligence and Security. Ever since middle school I knew I had a developing interest in the field of computer science and spent most of my time building the skills to excel in my classes. One of the first projects I got to use the computer on was a video for the Oregon Trail. I decided that it would be best to design an advertisement to showcase the facts in a new and creative way. When my group turned the project in, and it was shown to the class my teacher rewrote the assignment according to what we did and used it as an example of great work when recruiting new people.
Time seemed to have stood still from all the way up there. The wobbling platform on which I was standing couldn’t have been more than a foot in diameter. Looking down, the blurred images of my peers were all that I could see. I should have been frightened out of my mind, but strangely I wasn’t. I had conquered the 25-foot climb up the telephone pole, and although I was wearing a harness, the feeling was nothing less than exhilarating.
Throughout high school I have tried to take classes that were not only challenging, but would also be relevant to my future. I have taken nine AP level classes since sophomore year, and I have thrived in the difficult coursework that is meant to be college level. So far, I have proven my hard work and dedication by passing all of the AP tests thus far. I have also taken advantage of the advanced math coursework that is two years ahead than normal. I began this track since the fifth grade, and I continued and progressed all these year.
Honestly, I didn’t think I would make it this far. I didn’t think I would be up at 11 PM answering an insight question that asks me about me. I didn’t think that I would be sitting at a lunch table with my friends, eating and cracking jokes. I didn’t think I would sit down at the dining table singing happy birthday to my younger brothers and sister. I’ve struggled with depression for so long that it constantly felt like there was no point in fighting back.
Satisfied with my work, I did the finishing touches on my portfolio and soon after realized my last writing assignment of high school is tomorrow. Although I have been waiting for this day for many years, it was sad to think that all my work has come to an end for high school. Coming into this class I was frightened from all the work that was assigned and was just hoping to finish with a “B” because I had never been a strong writer; however, half way through the semester I had seen a significant improvement in my writing skills and it is possible to finish with an “A”. I believe the reason it improved so much is because I time managed way more than have in previous years; in fact, most essays I had to write were written the night before they were do and I would just meet the length requirement without revising or editing.
Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person's life its true meaning. Death in American culture is looked at as a taboo in conversation, it’s subject being described as “depressing” or “dismal”. But why is death looked at the way it is in America? Death has been with us since the dawn of life itself, it will come to all living things one day, why not embrace it? Well, some cultures have done just that, embracing and accepting death as undeniable truth in life.
This Semester was poor, because I didn 't put a lot of work in this Semester, right now my GPA is a 0.90 and I feel really upset with that grade , because its making me look bad and its making me look unprofessional. My plans to improve my grades are that I have to put more work into this and I have to start concentrating on all of my work, I also need to start listening to the teachers, and start doing all my homework so I can turn in it in the days when its due, that will help me out a lot with my grades. My goals if for me to get a 3.50 or higher because I would like for me to pass the 9 grade and keep on passing till I leave High School, so it will make me look really smart and good, that 's what I would like to
I would like to address my educational short comings. In high school, I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of helping raise my two baby brothers with my mom. Those responsibilities included, but were not limited to: babysitting, household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry; tending to the family dog, and just taking care of my own personal needs. It had gotten to the point that I had enrolled in independent study at Chico High School in fall 2010 so I could pick up a job for some extra money because funds were so tight. I was taking courses at Butte College by the summer of 2010 and immediately enrolled full-time for the fall 2011 semester after I graduated high school.
What happened was that my dad always gets the mail and since he saw it he opened it and he saw my grades. In a way I knew he wasn 't going to like them because it wasn 't what he wanted because he at least wants me to have passing grades. Then we was not to happy because it wasn 't what he expected from me. Yes in a way I feel bad because I didn 't meet my parents and my goal to have passing grades.
I am extremely excited to be able to study abroad, however my GPA is a possible deterrent to this opportunity. Last semester, I had 16 credits and it was my first semester in the business school. I also began a role as peer mentor, switched jobs mid semester, and moved off campus as well. All of this adjustment contributed to my semester not starting off as strong as it should have. I really struggled with Accounting 100.
Since the 8th grade I have been in a mathematics class every year. I have taken every algebra class that my school offers along with class such as geometry and high school precalculus. Last semester I took college algebra online at ACC. Most of the classes (including the high-school “precalculus”) have been either algebra or recapping what I should have already known from previous years. The college algebra at ACC I took last semester introduced me to many new ways of solving problems that I was previously not introduced too along with going more in depth into sections that my high-school classes simply brushed over.
After walking several dead-end routes, I discovered one that was different; while the others were filled with fascinating information and adventures, this new path satiated a part of me that was previously missing. I elected to study psychology because it gives me the tools to help people and provides a stepping stone towards my dream job, while at the same time bringing me closer to being able to answer the one question that is always on my mind. Why?
I just wanted to reach out to you in regards to my last quiz grade. I didn’t do so well. I think this maybe because I rushed to complete it. I usually wait until Monday morning to complete the quiz. I was wondering is there a way that I can redo the quiz?
