that I have earned over my high school career, whether it's from fundraising or volunteering, my proudest one has to be winning the student award from my Earth Science teacher. This might not sound like my biggest award but this is a huge example to showcase the meaning that "it's the little things in life that matters the most". This "simple" award means a lot to me for many reasons. Out of the many achievements and awards that I have earned over my high school career, whether it's from fundraising
would you offer to a student just beginning his/her high school career? High school changes people, and as a freshman, I never knew that I would be who I am today. As a milestone in my life, I wanted to make it as adventurous as possible, and that’s exactly what I did. I didn’t want to get caught up with any horrible decisions that I would regret, therefore I played it safe, but managed to take risks during my career as a high schooler. High school has nothing to do with parties, but more with becoming
Throughout my childhood my parents played a lot of great music for my sisters and me. One lyric that has really stuck with me is from the Joni Mitchell song, “Big Yellow Taxi” which goes as follows; “Don’t it always seem to go/ that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”. These words embody the first time I lost a friend, and my work towards closure. My favorite moments of my high school career are my experiences in track and cross country. The friendships I have made through running and
My high school career had been the toughest time of my life. Starting from freshman year, I had been bullied for the way I dressed. Sophmore year was when my parents got a divorce, causing me to start falling behind on my grades because I had been emotionally unstable. Junior year was when I felt the sudden pressure for college admissions, giving me anxiety and stress, suddenly becoming overweight and unhealthy. By senior year I thought I had finally put my life back together, but by then, it was
always asked what we what to “be” when we grow up. From a young age we have this pressure to make a decision on what career we want to pursuit. Very few grow up to acquire their childhood dream job. Whether it is from realization that it is not what they would enjoy or that they cannot afford to pay for the schooling. In society there are several ways to obtain a career, trade school, apprenticeship, learning on the job, or getting a college degree. Throughout growing up there seemed to be only one
for a career in life. Having one career to focus on is perfect, but what if you aren't interested in the career what do you do now? You have backup plans. I chose five careers that I am interested in, just in case I change my career. Those careers that I chose we're becoming a cosmetologist, a dentist, an officer, an OB GYN, and last but not least, a dancer. Not that I want to do all of those, cosmetology is my main career for now. Backups are always something good to fall back on. My first
definition of career? A career is an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress. Everyone has something special they want to be in life and there’s a wide variety of careers to choose from. Some people may want to be a doctor, lawyer, or even a firefighter. It’s plenty of options for everyone. The careers that I chose are a psychologist, realtor, engineer, veterinarian, and orthodontist. These are just my favorite ones. Now my first and main
questions asked during high school is “What do you want to do after you graduate?” Though it seems to be a simple question, it is a question that requires a lot of thought and dedication because the answer creates a path for your future. I have chosen to research a career as a Physical Therapist Assistant. This career path has always been an interest of mine because I would love to develop treatment plans and procedures in order to help my patient recover. Looking into a career can be a bit overwhelming
Throughout high school, I have participated in multifarious extracurricular activities and they all taught me to try out new activities and break out of my comfort zone. I want to major in Architecture due to building houses has always been an extensive passion of mine. My extracurricular activities reflect how I want to have a career that causes me to be lively and a career that prepares me to grow as a person every day. One of the organizations that I participate in extensively is the band. I
From my early childhood till today, my most remarkable characteristics have been my curiosity to learn new topics. My keen interest for learning new ideas, when combined with my inner desire to reach a degree of excellence in every piece of work I perform, enabled me to acquire significant knowledge on various aspects of nature and technology, as well as leading me through a successful educational career. During my early ages in school, I was introduced to 'BASIC' language and on how computers can
