347 Words2 Pages
In the “Your Honors and Activities” section, I only listed the activities that I have participated in for more than 3 years. But, I choose to write my essay on the most important activity to me than I am currently been participating in for less than a year - my volunteer work at the Child Development Institute’s Early Learning Center. I find this the most important activity to myself because volunteering at the Early Learning Center allows me to express a side I don’t feel comfortable expressing in front of my family - my love for working with children. Also, when I volunteer, that is the happiest you’ll see me. As a volunteer, I facilitate play amongst the children, strengthen the bond between parent and child, lead activities, enforce rules,

I took up many duties during my time volunteering, such as serving food, helping the children complete their crafts, cleaning, and doing several activities. Some days they would complete a craft which I would help to direct them with, and other days there would be a full activity depending on the theme of the program that summer. I would serve them their snacks, and also clean up after them when they finished. Of five years of doing this, I have completed at least 100 hours of community service at the library. Critter Club was another program at the Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library that I also volunteered for.

I’m a first generation american on my father's side and second generation on my mothers. In large part, who I am today, is a direct reflection of them immigrating to this country. I learned hard work, determination, and commitment through stories they shared with me about the lives they built when they arrived to America. I’m proud of my roots and the legacy that my parents and grandparents have instilled in me and much of who I am today is a reflection of their own hard work.

First of all, thanks for taking your time to write this recommendation letter, considering you probably have many more to write. I wish for you to write one because your sophomore English Honors class was the first challenging class I experienced in all my years of learning. I remember failing the first essay you assigned; I felt like giving up and I was certain the class would be more challenging than I previously thought. My prognostication was right, it was not easy, however I did improve by the end of the year and I had confidence in performing sharpened English work in my Junior and Senior year. To this day, I continue to improve my literary essays now that I have AP.

Coming from two different cultures, I did not fully understand how to accept death seeing that one is more death affirming whereas the other is not. As I was growing up, I saw the two conflicts before my eyes, but it never impacted me in any way. However, one day after rushing my aunt to the hospital, my family and I discovered she only had two months left to live. A year later, my grandfather passed away due to a stroke. This was my first time ever dealing with death and my first time seeing my two culture clashing; consequently, with not knowing what to do, I spiraled downward in the abyss.

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.

You Can Accomplish Whatever You Want To Accomplish I believe that anyone can accomplish whatever they want to accomplish, as long as they put in the effort and time into that one thing. I am talking about things like sports, art, education, and many other things. You just have to believe in yourself, and tell yourself that you can do it. Some people tell themselves that they can 't do it, but they have to think positive.

The person who got and opened my report card was my mom. I honestly do not know how she felt because she doesn 't really show her emotions or it 's just that I do not know how to see what kind emotion she has. I guess she was happy with the fact that I had some A 's. I don 't think she was happy to see a bad grade on my report card. My mom did not say anything when she opened it she just said good job on getting A 's. I think she had a smile on her face because we were in the car and I wasn 't facing her. My dad was in the car too because we were on our way to church and he wasn 't really happy with one of my grades.

Around June 2009 when I finished High School, I had no clue as to what I wanted to pursue next in my life. College was something that I never even thought about doing. In school, I would do what I had to do to get by, and that was it. Teachers liked me because I’m a friendly guy (and not to mention I had 5 other siblings attend the same school). After graduation I decided it was time for me to start doing something productive with my life, so I decided to get a job at a Dollar Tree.

Transcripts My freshman and sophomore years I did not do so great. Mainly in English, Math, and Science. I believe that I earned those poor grades because I wasn’t trying my hardest in those subjects, and I wasn’t paying attention in those classes. Once my father and grandmother pointed out that my bad grades will affect my future, and my ability to get a decent job I began paying more attention in all my classes, and started trying harder. Although I admit that I messed up in my past years and I have earned some unappealing grades my junior year
