Recommended: Role of motivattion in sports performance

Endurance, motivation and dedication were a few words that made up the foundation of my career as a student athlete. These words arose in any and every situation possible. From the classroom to the football field, these three words haunted and shaped me in to the person I am today. Anything and everything I participated had these three concpets behind it, perfection was the goal in every situation of my life. I had always lifted weights growing up, it was who I was as an individual. One unfortunate month, my life took a turn and so did my motivation, endurance and my dedication to lift. I began to dread working out and eating clean, I needed help and lots of it. Summer had just begun and I had just begun fasting for the sacred month of ramadan. …show more content…

This caused not only myself to struggle, but also my grades. I realized that I needed to get back into it and Kash’s competition helped motivate me and helped me endure my semester as a student. Thanks to Kash’s help, I excelled in the class room and in the weight room. This helped me bring back the dedication I had back when I was a student athlete. I have learned many lessons thanks to this competition. When one has a deep passion for anything, one should capitalize on it and use that passion to excel at life. This competition has shaped not only my body, but the way of life that I live now, and the way of life that I will live forever. Excuses are now a thing of the past. I conquered my biggest challenges in my life, and I am ready for more. I plan on taking the world by storm and this could not have been possible without Kash’s competition. I wanted change, and it happened. This current semester I am a straight “A” student, I lost 24 pounds and i’ve never been happier with my life. This competition has built an impeccable work ethic and taught me patience.The one concept that this competition has instilled in me and I will live by this concept every day is, If you aspire to achieve something, don't sit around, but go out and dominate what ever the goal is, no matter how big or time

I have been committed to volunteer as an English and math tutor at Oakland international high school since 2013.a high school that was founded with the help of the bill and Melinda gates foundation for new comers to the united states. It was a great experience for me. Even though I’m only volunteering once a week, due to having two jobs, I still believe I’m making a deference in someone’s life. This contribution to my community is important to me, because I have many things in common with the students in this high school, not only do these students have a tremendous academic disadvantage in the education system, some of them have never been to school before, and some of them have arrived to this country without their parents, and they carry the same ambition I have of becoming successful and returning to their home countries to support their families. also when I first arrived to this country, I had the same background with these kids, I lacked basic skills in math and English and I hoped there was someone there to help.

My interest in having another education abroad experience developed as a result of my realization of the many ways in which my first study abroad experience has profoundly impacted my life. Last summer I participated in the Interdisciplinary Art & Culture study abroad program to Florence, Italy, and the experience had a profound impact on me academically, professionally, and personally. Upon returning from my study abroad program and resuming my courses at my home institution this fall, I realized that my experiences abroad had prepared me for academic success. For instance, this semester in Renaissance Art History class I noticed that I was better able to recall facts about Renaissance art during exams because my experiences abroad had laid a foundation of knowledge for me to draw upon. My realization that my program has lended me an academic advantage in my classes has contributed to my interest in studying abroad again.
