200 Meter Accomplishment

Every runner wore a bib number with the time they start on it. As I was running people were passing me who had started after me, and I kept thinking I was going too slow and that I shouldn’t be taking this long to complete it. Through words of encouragement from my mom and decipline mentras from myself I finished the race, I crosses the fanish line and the feeling of triumph as I crossed it was something I’ll never forget.

Lance Armstrong is one of the best cyclist there is. He was in many races over the world. He has won many awards in many races. He also had many companies sponsoring him. But all that was taken away and his reputation was ruined when he was caught doping.

Starting in 9th grade I participated in daily varsity tennis matches. I played 1st doubles, 2nd singles, and 1st singles. I won the most improved player award, earned four varsity letters, and led my team to a states match as captain. My proudest accomplishment was instilling a love for the game in a skeptical teammate who at first, only thought of winning.

My most meaningful accomplishment is finding my inner leader and learning to believe in myself. For many years I was extremely shy and I let this deter me from enjoying activities outside my comfort zone. Growing up I never really believed enough in myself to find my leadership abilities. It was not until early in my college career that I began to truly see my potential. My freshman year of college I began to open myself up to the possibilities around me by joining clubs on campus and making connections with those around me. The one organization that truly changed my outlook forever was Phi Beta Chi National Sorority. Within my sisterhood I began to open up and see myself as the leader I knew I could be. Once I had this new found outlook I

An accomplishment that set my life forward and taught me multiple traits and allowed my character to develop would have to be when I set out, got a job, and saved up enough money to buy my first car. It was a summer I'll always remember. After my sophomore year of high school I set out during the summer and got a job at Glidden Fence Company. I was nervous not working at all previous to working at Glidden and started wondering whether I had gotten too far ahead of myself. I was assigned to a three man crew and started my career as a fence builder, the crew leader was super nice to me and guided me in every step as I began to learn how to do it myself. So long story short I threw myself into a foreign environment unaware of what the

“What you get by achieving goals is not as important as what you become by achieving goals.” Quote, Henry David Thoreau. An accomplishment is just another definition of a goal. They may take a long time to complete; however, just have faith and great things can come from it. Just like how Columbus never gave up to find the new world, even though he always thought that the world was flat. The world has always been a place of innovation and discovery. One of the many personal accomplishments I would like to have is to travel and learn about the world.

How did attitudes towards Jesse Owens, as well as his successes, and struggles affect the status quo of race in sports. That is the question that this essay attempts to answer, by exploring Owens' early life, to his first success in 1933, to his record setting eight individual NCAA championships, four each in 1935 and 1936, to one of his greatest achievements on May 25, 1935 during the Big Ten meet at Ferry Field in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he set three world records and tied a fourth. Then moving to arguably some of his most important victories in 1936 when Jesse Owens represented the United States of America in the Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. It is there that he defied the odds by winning 4 gold medals as well as

My most meaningful accomplishment in the last few years is the work that I did as Social Chair of my sorority. When I was offered the position, I knew there would be stress from becoming the sole representative of my sorority to the rest of Greek life and other organizations. However, I greatly underestimated the stress of being the bridge between my organization and others. I pushed myself to see my position through and felt a huge sense of accomplishment after I was done and able to see the work that I was able to do. I would measure my success by comparing the work of other social chairs to what I was able to accomplish. Not only did I look at past social chairs within my organization, but I also sought out other social chairs for other

My accomplishments really date back when I graduated from high school. As the youngest of four, you would think I had wonderful romodels guiding me throughout my life and making it easier for me. However, that was not my case. I was actually one of 3 that graduated from high school from my brothers and sisters, and the only one that got accepted to a university. I am now happy to be a jr. at UTEP and be a ro-model from my nephews and nieces. I guess all those challenges really worked in my favor.

One event in my life that made me who I am today was winning best design at MSOE. Every year MSOE holds a competition called fluid power challenge. In 8th grade some friends and I made a team to go compete at MSOE. We were all in this class that just gave us time to plan, and build a prototype machine. The machine had to move a cylinder block of wood from a start point to a finish point. To achieve that task the machine had to have a rotating base, an arm that went up and down and extends, and claw that open and closed. Planning and building that rocket was so stressful and took a lot of time. This made me obtain more patience as it was a very time consuming task. We would have a plan and then it wouldn’t work and we would have to go back

My greatest personal achievement was escaping the negative circumstances that I grew around during my childhood. Within my poverty-ridden neighborhood was an abundance of street gangs and at a young age, I had fallen in with a group of gang members. I was headed towards a path of delinquency but was fortunate enough to have a realization that allowed for me to distance myself from gang-life and instead center myself

Everyone has accomplishments, People experience them young, old and all inbetween. A main accomplishment in my life has been starting for the varsity lacrosse team here at Clackamas High School. Along with starting on my high school team, as a sophomore, I also was invited to play on some of the best club teams in Oregon. During these experiences I have grown as a person, began working harder, and learned you can’t always control everything. With determination you can do anything you set your mind to.

There is not a grand accomplishment that sets me apart from other. Rather it is small things that I have done and learned that sets me apart. I believe what started my off in the direction I am going was violin. It was the beginning of my classical education. From the age of three I learned and performed on the violin. Another notable thing that out me on my path were the class I began in the seventh grade; Omnibus, Latin, and Logic. It was the combination of these classes that helped me make my career choice.

The accomplishment that I think that sparked the most realization in me is the Atlas program I was accepted into last year. Atlas means Adirondack Teen Leadership and Services. With Atlas it made me learn team building skills and how to work with people I didn´t know. Atlas also made me realize how much I like helping people. When we did our community service project at the nursing home I loved it so much because we were helping by earning money to buy christmas gifts for all the residents, we wrapped the present and baked cookies for all the staff. It was so much fun just to help the nursing home because most people just ignore the people. Atlas pushed me out of my comfort zone it made me learn more leadership skills and not to be as shy as

My greatest accomplishment thus far, has been getting high grades in college. Accomplishing this required: patience, dedication, tenacity, stamina, and confidence. It took patience because there were long hours that were dedicated to homework and studying. It took dedication because I had to continually tell myself that it would be worth it, even when it was difficult. It took tenacity because I knew that I couldn't accept anything less than my best. It took stamina because there were a lot of late nights and just a lot of time in general to complete everything that was required of me. Lastly, it took confidence because if I didn't believe that I could, it would have made it a million times harder.
