Hey Mrs. Cohen,

I do not know if you have the student brag sheet document that the consolers gave to us, but these are the questions that correspond to that document. Please let me know if you need me to send the questions to you.

1. I have worked very hard throughout high school to make good grades and participate in extracurricular activities. My grades display this diligence and I am proud that I have utilized my time in high school to a point where I am optimistic about my future. However, I do not think that academic records are accurate to measure ability or potential, but rather an individual’s motivation, work ethic, and values. You learn these through people’s actions and voice.

2. There will always be things that go wrong …show more content…

My sister has been very influential in my life. She was prevented from going to a college for a few years due to financial issues with my parents. Seeing my sister overcome this setback and have hard work and dedication pay off has influenced me to work hard and earn my education. Overall, the events that have taken place within my family and growing up have shown me the kind of person I aspire to be and how to create an impact on both the planet and people that come into my life.

13. My greatest strength is that it takes a lot for me to give up. I do not accept failure easily, however this makes me a perfectionist and I stress out easily. I am a very hardworking person when I am passionate about something, however, if I do not find any interest in what I am doing then I am less hardworking. Despite this, I love taking on new experiences and I am very open minded.

14. My parents have always taught me to work for everything I get in my life. This makes me a very dedicated person. When I am passionate about something it is very difficult for someone to prevent me from following through with my goals. I am a very independent person because I know that if you want something done, then you must learn to make good judgements about your surroundings and work hard yourself. Many people rely on others to carry them through challenges, but life experience has shown me that independent strength is extremely important in achieving goals. I have gone through high school with this mentality and I hope to continue this to better my future in any path I travel

Luke Weil referred to wanting to be "indispensable" in his field of work and I completely relate with this statement. My father always told me he doesn 't care what I do in life if I 'm the best at it. My father works as an injection molding technician and makes a substantial amount of money. What my father lacked in education he made up for with his work ethic and dedication. He surpassed individuals with a degree and ironically, they work under his supervision.

I take the lessons, the time outs, and the talks all to my heart. I take how my parents lived their lives every day and try to make sure I use that same effect on my life. From this transition I gained independence, which was one of my values. I believe if you do not have personal goals and you rely on everyone else to help achieve your goals than you’re not really aspiring as a person. Having independence allows you to grow as a person and be able to live on your own without dependency.

I was born into an environment full of hard workers and people who are dedicated to what they are doing. My family is made up of people who always made sure they got their job done and put their 100% effort into that job. Everyone makes sure they are satisfied with the results of their work and if they are not, they do it again until they are satisfied. My family raised me to be a hard working and giving person and I apply these virtues to my everyday life. I grew up watching my family working hard at whatever they do and I took it upon myself to make sure I do the same and make them proud of my work.

At a young age I knew what it meant to be strong and became aware that I would have to do so. Growing up observing the struggles that my mother faced each day while my father wasn't around and the determination in my grandfathers eyes each day as he continued his lifelong battle against Multiple Sclerosis I learned one of the most important lessons of life: Never give up. Not too say that I've lived some horrible life, but I became obsessed with the idea that my education was my ticket to a better life very early on. Going through old photos albums in my house I have found many pictures of myself sitting at the table reading or studying. I believe that the greatest attribute I possess is my ability to learn and grow from each and every experience that I encounter.

Mathematics can, at times, be the single most frustrating subject I have ever studied, yet I love it. The euphoria of completing a particularly hard puzzle, or the sudden realisation of a particular topic clicking into place, makes the challenge and the hard work all the more worthwhile. Studying both maths and further maths at 'A' level has been the most enjoyable and rewarding part of my academic career, and the logic and reasoning required for the subject keeps me interested. By studying mathematics to degree standard, I hope to find and answer many new questions I might have. In particular, I am looking forward to exploring more in the field of pure maths.

From the moment I was able to understand that one day I’ll be on my own, based on my individual choices and merit, my parents have always stressed the importance of having a good education. Excelling in school means entry into a good job, and with that comes a risk free, happy lifestyle. This idea has been embedded into my brain day by day, and not because of pride or self satisfaction, but because my parents want me to live a better life than we do now, and not have to work in a laborious job like my father does. This has always inspired me to be outstanding in school, and strive for goals someone mundane would not think of.
