Recommended: Career goals introduction

I am 17 years old and a senior this year at Cary-Grove High School. I live in Cary and have lived here all my life. School is a very important aspect of my life and I continue to challenge myself every day in order to give myself a chance at receiving a quality education. Some of my favorite hobbies include listening to music on Spotify and watching some of my favorite movies. When I am not listening to music of watching movies, I am most likely at some extracurricular activity. One of my biggest interest is music, so I am heavily involved with the Cary-Grove Trojan Marching Band. Along with being in the marching band, I am also in the Wind Symphony at Cary-Grove. One other hobby I have that I believe is very unique is going to cruise …show more content…

This book has been one of my favorites for many years because I enjoy the ideas that are represented in it. This book talks about difficult life-changing choices, the daily life living in a utopia, and romance, which are my favorite things to read about. This is only the first book in my favorite trilogy, the Matched trilogy, but I enjoy it the most out of the three.
I have many favorite children’s books that I loved and still love. One of my absolute favorites is the My Weird School series by Dan Gutman. In each of the books, they talk about one of the crazy, weird teachers that work at their school. Another one of my favorites is the Magic Treehouse series by Mary Pope Osborne. In this series, they travel to different places in the world with their treehouse and learn about it. I spent hours reading them, and I still enjoy them to this day.
I have many books in my house, all of which are in my living room. If you were to look, you wouldn’t see many books, but you would see some that everyone would recognize. In my living room, you could find over half of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. I love this series and I read and reread them whenever I have nothing else to do. Also, you would find my favorite book of all time, Matched by Ally Condie, which is a part of her Matched

We learn how to read and write from books, we practice skills and teach ourselves from books. Not a year in my education has gone by without a book or several being part of the curriculum. In ninth grade I read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The novel changed my view of the importance and need for books, because it showed the horror and devastation of a world without them.

Every book that I have read has influenced me in one way or another, some have inspired me to improve myself, such as iWoz, and others have expanded my knowledge of the world, like The Great Gatsby. One of the most influential of these would have to be Mary Pope Osborne’s Magic Tree House #1 Dinosaurs Before Dark, which transitioned me from reading picture books to reading short children’s novels and cultivated my love of the fantasy genre.

When I started Unity High School I thought that it was going to be boring school because my first choice was Skyline but my mom made me come to this school so I had to obey what my mom wants because she takes care of me and helps me with whatever I need help with so going to the school that she wanted me to go to was the least I could have done. I thought that high school was going to be difficult because the work that my brother would bring home when he was in high school looked really hard and I did not understand most of the work he needed to complete. But I realized that I need to be taught the material before I go on and do the work

Some nights I would beg for her to read them for me. I remember my first book I tried reading was from Dr. Seuss. I thought it would be a good idea to write about one of my favorite others from my childhood. I learned about his family and his life, a lot of what I never even knew. I hope you enjoy learning about his life as much as I did.

Literacy Autobiography My mother read to me as a child for fun and school. She read us books such as, Go Dog Go, You Read to Me, I’ll Read to you, and To Kill a Mockingbird. My father read books to my sister and I, such as Fairy Realm, Little House, and Percy Jackson, before bedtime. I now find reading very enjoyable, even though my dyslexia has made reading more difficult.

I have always been and forever will be in love with reading. I realized this when I was in fourth grade with my teacher Mrs. Gokey. She had light brown curly hair with a few blonde strands here or there up to her shoulders, stood almost 6 feet tall, and had the gentlest hazel eyes a person could have. Mrs. Gokey would read us books every Friday as a sort of treat for getting through the week. One of her first reads was the book "Mick Harte Was Here".

One time I came across failure. It all started when playing in a baseball game for Serra High School. Up to that game we had been undefeated in league play. As the game moved along it got more and more intense. Every batter and runner on base you could tell both teams were completely focused on winning that game.

For example, I really enjoyed reading Ants and Buddhists because the author walked the readers through her daily life in school. She demonstrated new and more importantly, feasible ways that she could help her students think critically and solve social issues. I was inspired by the way that she connected class material to students’ daily life, such as by allowing them to conduct science experiments in their town. She highlighted the importance of making post-secondary education seem within reach for these students by bringing in college students that her first graders could meet since most of them never met someone who attended college before. This reading was helpful for thinking about how we can help students turn to local communities and value skills that students bring from

I’ll never forget how I felt the first time I walked into Prairie Ridge High School. I was surrounded by approximately sixteen hundred other students and I knew exactly none of them. I had never been that alone before and when I walked through the cafeteria doors, I felt the first seed of doubt that maybe I should have stayed in Union, with my mom. At that moment, I wanted to turn around and run out of Prairie Ridge, hop in the car, and drive the four hundred miles back to my friends, my teammates, and the majority of my family. Instead, I took a deep breath and sat down.
