Why would I make a great addition to the gifted and talented academy? I had to think about this question, but I came up with question to rebound off of this. Why would you not want a kid who is well behaved, extremely talented, and willing to go above and beyond? I am willing to get out of my comfort zone, and work to high standards. I want to be an overall well-rounded student who can choose his own path in life. As an adolescent enrolled in an advanced curriculum getting nearly straight A’s it is very easy to say I am talented. I do what is expected, and find a way to go above and beyond that to earn what I want. I would never settle for a B when I can morph that grade. When someone needs help on homework I am one of (if not) the first …show more content…

In fact I would prefer to get out of my comfort zone on a daily basis. I need to experience the things I like, and the things I don't admire in order to prepare for the future. At work you are not going to skip an assignment simply because you do not like it. Not many students have this skill making me more qualified in another way. No matter how bright a student may be, students also need to know basic behavior. I am the one student in the class that will always raise my hand, and wait to be called. I am the one student that who is always nice. I am the one student who chooses to avoid the “cool kids.” I am the one student who admits to mistakes. I am that ONE kid. While everyone may be different, most kids show share similar bad habits in none of which I participate in. I would not only make a great addition to the academy, I myself will benefit from this opportunity too. I absolutely despise when someone asks me “What do you want to be when you grow up?” At this moment I personally just do not know. I need to gain more experience in every subject, to officially know what I want to be when I grow up. I believe that getting the curriculum at the gifted and talented academy will do exactly what I need, and that is to build up a stronger understanding to what subjects I

This is due to the fact that I wish to be a mentor and educator when all is said and done. I want to help kids, and I want to teach them skills to get them through their lives and be satisfied with them, and to find ways to cope with life’s toughest challenges. I am also passionate about learning the best ways to teach music, theatre, and art, because I have always been the one learning those skills, but never teaching them myself. Also, if I am selected to be either a Recreation Counselor or Outdoor Education Counselor, I am looking forward to learning new skills, and dusting off and developing skills that I may not have touched in a while. I am also looking forward to passing on my experiences not with just the area I am teaching, but with ways to navigate through life, no matter what it may throw at these kids.

If I were constantly being measured on my progress, however, I’d never want to try new things again. I imagine a lot of people feel that way about music or theater or sports the activities we can participate in after school. The things I’ve learned at public school during my extra-curricular activities, (the ones that aren’t tested and measured), might be some of the things that matter the most. The things I learned from public school sports and theater and music, I learned with joy and I’ll take with me when the game is over, the curtain has closed and this stage of my formal education is

I have always had a passion for making a difference in others’ lives. From a young age my aspiration has to become a teacher, but I was not sure what level of education I would be best suited in.

It brought me great joy to see them happy when people cared about them and even simply talked to them. It was not until about the end of my junior year in high school, I decided to explore different areas of education my senior year.

Being compared with others triggers a concern for preserving well-being at the expense of growth" (Williams 34). Students become so wrapped up in achieving the highest score and competing with classmates they forget the purpose of school, to learn. When people want to learn they use their imagination and develop new and creative ways of viewing problems. The ability to imagine things pervades our entire existence. It influences everything, including thought and creation, and leads to elaborate theories, dreams, and inventions in any profession.

I will excel in law school because I am a goal-motivated person who enjoys being intellectually challenged. I applied for the English Honours program because I wanted the opportunity to hone my research skills, to work with other highly motivated students, and to develop my writing abilities in order to prepare myself for law school. I have accomplished all of these goals, as evidenced by the completion of my 40-page undergraduate thesis which was well-received by my supervisors. My thesis was a self-directed project which improved my time management skills and taught me how to set my own interim deadlines.
