The National Honor Society (NHS) stands by such values as Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and character; it is these values that I strive to live by. I have received the opportunity to become a proud member of the NHS, and have been humbled by this chance. Throughout my high school career I try to be involved in anything I can help the school, from being a part of community service activities. Also, I have achieved my goal to work as hard as I possibly can to stand out among my peers. Even outside of school I have worked to uphold the values of club, and shall continue to do so if I chosen.
Having obtained college credit in my high school courses, I came in classified as a sophomore. As this had its benefits, planning my future faster than my peers became frustrating at times. I always knew the School
I have taken responsibility for what I have done in the past and are pushing myself to work harder to reach all my goals to make me a better person within society. I have faced many challenges as well as setbacks this past year, but I have and I know I can find a way to manage my time to reach my full potential. I find myself juggling school and my full course load, club volleyball, work and making my car payments, getting a decent amount of sleep and having a social life. I do admit it can be overwhelming at times
It feels good to do work the way I do it. All my life I have been a creative person; I find a way to complete tasks that usually involves trickery or cutting corners. There was no room for this in
First and foremost, I understand demonstrating leadership skills in my life, work and school is valuable training for a career in the building and construction industry. I knew that my college choice was one of the most important life decisions I would ever make. Drury University is my training ground for self-discovery, building knowledge, leadership training and unlocking future opportunities. Here, I am able to juggle being an active student and the crazy studio culture needed to excel academically. The college has offered me experiential activities that enrich my collegiate experience by placing the emphasis on the cornerstones of my life: academics, leadership, volunteer service and personal growth.
It was struggle, especially when I first entered high school. It was at that time when insecurity filled my mind and body. I questioned my abilities, and every single detail in my work. I asked myself, if only
Then I went back to my first school I attended Malakoff elementry. My pass and last two years of emementry school was the best. Fourth grade comes and turned out to be a good year with the teachers I got and my friends I meet were awesome and good people.
Honestly, this may surprise you, but honestly, I am sad to leave the middle school. I have had many good memories in my times at the middle school, but I have also had some not so good memories. Even though I dread coming to school everyday, the teachers, the staff members, and the students make it a lot better. The best memories I have had at the middle school deal with Cougar News, Yearbook, and Junior Honor Society.
Luckily, this year I have been able to overcome that objective and I can perfectly balance my hours of work with school study and homework. I have been working 30 hours a week to save up for college, and a car, and a majority of what I own! The reason I work so much while attending high school is because I believe that I need money to have a sustained collection of savings that I can use when I am in college and really need it. Although working that much has made me struggle in the past, I have been able to overcome that challenge and I can now work my hours to pay for my belongings, including a phone bill, car payments, insurance, gas, and other necessities. Mentioning this is significant because my belongings signify my persistence to not give up when times may be hard and when the light doesn’t always shine at the end of the tunnel.
I have read a lot of articles, saying to enjoy the job we are in, no matter what. Yet, I realized that I was only giving half-baked outputs with my old job as a freelance writer, and it was not good at all. I kept on transferring from one job to another, with high levels of work dissatisfaction. I ever hated myself for that. Yet, it's been part of my
But by my senior year i still had no plans after high school or what i even wanted to do in life so i was getting alittle worried that all my friends had figured out what they want to do and i had nothing. Then about halfway through my senior year i was put in a welding class that I didn't even want to be in. But i decided to make the most of it and actually try to learn something. I got really into it
In a recent 2011 study and there were people who were placed in jobs that they didn’t enjoy, and the study showed that they had worse mental health, more anxiety, and depression than the people who were enjoying their jobs in the study (McClinton). This study shows that when a person enjoys what they do, they will have less anxiety over things that aren't perfect at their job. They are more ok with issues and concerns that will come up throughout their job and will treat them with a better attitude because they have satisfaction in their job. When something does go wrong at work, People having enjoyment in their job will most likely fix the problem with less stress or anxiety because they know that whatever they do affects the outcome of their job. Michael Phillips, a CEO at Coconut’s Fish Cafe says “It's important to enjoy what you do.
The type of work you end up doing does affect your aspect on life in general. The more you find yourself loving your job, the more you 'll find yourself in a happy state of matter. As Rachel Becksted states, “Since we spend a majority of our life working, job satisfaction can be a large factor in our overall satisfaction and sense of well being.” For example, if you 're not happy with the type of career you have, that can lead to depression or stress. If you are pleased with your career, you 'll find yourself stress free and at peace with the way your life has turned out.
As high school went on, the workload grew, but I also grew, so I was perfectly capable of keeping up with the work. This type of growth came rather easy to me. It was important for me to have one thing I could be confident with through all of the drama and chaos in my life. Growing in my community was not challenging thanks to the Live Algoma movement. Our community itself has experienced so much growth over the past four years, which allowed many students, including me, to grow in their community involvement as well.
In a world where lives are born and taken every second, I think back to my childhood and my earliest memory is my parents divorce, but there 's so much more to me than just that. Who I am and how I got here today is a collaboration of many more memories. My parents divorce, my siblings, friendships I’ve made and lost, achievements and failures, and my future goals and aspirations. Ultimately, all of this makes, and has made, me. It is a collection of influences, experiences, and memories that make up all of us, as individuals.
