Through my eyes, I think it’s important to properly motivate yourself to reach your goals. Life makes some things more difficult than others, but you have to attempt. If someone doesn’t make an effort to achieve the things they set out to do then they’ll feel like they can’t do
My advice for my peers is that you should always try your best no matter what you’re doing and never judge a person because you don’t know everything going on in their
I was raised to respect others and their opinions even if they’re not the same as mine and I was raised to respect others and most importantly to respect myself. I have many characteristics other than respect that I demonstrate such as responsibility, loyalty, fairness, devotion, persistence, friendliness, trustworthiness, and citizenship. Many will say that I am a great person overall, but I am shy at times and I am trying my hardest to be less shy around people I don’t know. Growing up I was taught to make the right choices for myself, to work hard, and to not let anyone tell me I can’t do something. My three main goals for high school are to graduate in the Top 20 of my class, graduate with an Academic Honors diploma, and become a member of the National Honor Society.
While Thompson clarifies that we should “conform to the goal,” students who want to pursue a specific passion should not let their doubt prevent them from achieving their goal (Thompson). Parents often advise us to follow a career path that would help us obtain a high income and monumental success in the future.
Upward Bound with Tarrant County College along with AVID at South Hills High School have guide me through my high school trajectory. During the last 3 years AVID has helped me speak up and diminished my self-esteem issues such as speaking to other mates and creating what we called an AVID family. Upward Bound has been a catalyzer for me to learned how to managed my finances such as loans, budgets, and banking services. Since I was the lead of my family both organizations helped me become a more experienced person at a younger age. More than a college readiness program AVID and Upward Bound are the dispensers of life lessons and the nest of future leaders.
My thematic pathway consists of three classes: Introduction to Music, Introduction to Sociology, and Digital System. The first two classes were taken in John Jay College and the last one was taken in my first semester at Buffalo University. These classes come together to qualify my global pathway under the topic of Design and the Build Environment. Nevertheless, I am still not sure how they assimilated into this topic to develop our critical thinking skill and analytical skill to approaches the problem solving as how it descripted on the website. Furthermore, it really gives me a tough time to make these classes echoed each other.
What vision do you have of yourself ten years from now? I see myself in the National Basketball Association (NBA) getting money and living the good life. I know it will be tough because life is not easy. I will have to work harder than others to get recognized. I will face a lot of tough obstacles, but I know my main three obstacles.
Since the sixth grade, the blank page of Microsoft Word has been one of my biggest obstacles in writing. Collecting my thoughts, organizing them, and then articulating them was a struggle. Over the last several years I have felt as if my writing has plateaued. Time and time again I found myself staring at the computer screen desperately trying to start my introduction paragraph. Feeling a need to change I enrolled at University of North Georgia in English Composition 1101.
The day began like any ordinary day except on this day a scene I envisioned for years was about to occur. Finding me trapped in a moment in space and time with a huge decision to make as my heart kept pounding [IT/DC]. Growing up I was fascinated with extreme flips. I longed to learn the front flip.
My goals after college are to open my own therapeutic clinic and to become a physical therapist. I will accomplish this goal by diligently working in my classes and saving little by little to open up my clinic. Auburn university will help me accomplish this goal because I would receive the proper material with your rigorous curriculum. and with your state of the art facilities I would be successful in my
Although chasing perfection can be seen as a downfall, it has shaped who I am and what I have accomplished. Simultaneously, allowing this drive to become hyperfocused can quickly become my greatest downfall. As high school progressed, I realized that I was constantly seeking perfection within my academic classes and extracurriculars. Every time I achieved “perfection,” it gave more reason to push and explore further.
Life gets hard, and I am going to have to push through. Being on National Honor Society is an accomplishment; I have maintained an A average for 16 consecutive quarters of high school. I am always sure to have my assignments done on time, and I do the best of my ability to use my resources, ask questions, and correct my mistakes if needed. Applying myself to my schooling is important because if I don’t apply myself now, college isn’t going to be
As the smell of diesel fuel filled my nose every breath I took and the sound of Five Finger Death Punch filled my ears, I thought about what was back home. The green grass, my bed, my wife, my dog Barrett, and the smell of bacon. While I was day dreaming, my squad leader, Glenn Martin, we call him Roman, shook me out of my dream of the sweet treats that can only be found in America. “We’re going into a red zone. The last thing this team needs is for somebody to be shot while they don’t even realize.”
I can vividly remember the advice given to me by my high school counselor. I was broken down, whispering to myself that I was not college bound. It was my counselor who made me realize that persistence was a key factor to continuing my education. The wisdom that was shared to me that day was instilled into my mind and was endorsed in my heart. I want to be the person that gives a glimpse of hope to students that need an extra push through education, just like it was given to me.
To get good grades and be a stellar athlete k discerned myself from social concerns and centered my thoughts on what was needed to be done to get to the next step of my life. This mindset was enhanced by the people I kept as company who shared the same attitudes. It created an individualistic mindset. However through the different people I experienced along with acknowledgement of my Christian Faith and being apart of a sport team. Showed me that it is more important to help others and focus on “us”, “we”, or “them” more than it is to focus on “me” and “I”.
