Personal Statement

As a third year high school student and a second year college student, I have had to face difficulties concerning my academic career, I have had to evaluate my goals and my achievements, and I have even had to learn how I learn. Going to Early College High School has changed me, I have become more motivated to be a good student and a successful individual overall. One thing that I have always stayed true to are my high-standards for myself personally and academically. I never settle, I always do my best, and when my best isn’t enough I do better. I have always been extremely motivated as a student to perform as best as I can, even at my low points in life. I have seen the low points of my life at a tender young age, and that has made me never want to go back. I hit rock bottom, and I will never be that low again. …show more content…

Every day I strive to be a better person than I was the day before. This semester in particular I have been changing in ways that have brought benefits to me now, and that will benefit me in the future. I chose to take six classes this semester, which is probably the most a student can manage to take, and I have A’s in all of my classes. Having so many classes has taught me how to manage my time for school, work, and personal reasons. ACA 122 has guided me in doing so by the sections in the book about managing time. Through many of the activities throughout this course, I have learned how to assess myself and where and how to go from there. If I realize that I am doing poorly, or not to my expectations, then I will look at what I can do to better myself and where I am at that point. If I am doing well, I will analyze what I have been doing to get me to that point, and I will continue to do that and see if I have any room for improvement. I know that I can still improve on my procrastination, but it has definitely improved this semester with me learning how to manage my time

Astronomers are constantly making discoveries and developing research to help society understand the solar system more deeply. Dating back to the 1500s with Galileo Galilei to current day Neil deGrasse Tyson, each has provided discoveries that shape the world we live in.

How To Write A Reflective Essay About Ap World History Experience

593 Words | 3 Pages

Although my experience in AP World History continued to challenge and frustrate me from June of 2015 to the present, it changed me to make me a more responsible student, and changed the way I view the world. I was continually challenged and frustrated by many assignments that I completed from June of 2015 to the present. The work that I had to finish was much more than had ever been placed on me before, and at the beginning of the year I was incredibly overwhelmed by it. The homework continued to challenge me, but it became less and less overwhelming throughout the first part of the year as I grew used to it. By the time the high school swimming season started, which took up much of my time, I figured out to be the most efficient possible.

My determination to have a positive impact on the lives of young people was sparked from the inspirations of my own primary educators who played a significant role in shaping the person that I have ultimately become. It is clear that teachers do more than simply teach: they develop lasting bonds with their pupils as a mentor, role model, and friend and their impacts extend far beyond the classroom. Growing up as an introvert, I struggled with confidence in social settings such as a classroom but, through the support and encouragement of my teachers, have been able to recognise my true potential and enthusiasm for learning. I, therefore, personally connect with the struggles of more reserved children and realise the difference that an understanding
