As a student who values the opportunity to work with his professors and peers, Northwestern seems to be a large fit. The unique research and lab opportunities presented at the school interest me. Particularly, the argalabb, or the Assistive and Rehabilitation Laboratory, and the Economics Group are what interest me. Throughout my life, I have been heavily involved with sports. Unfortunately, I have had to struggle through many injuries, having torn my wrist ligaments three times as well as hurting my back and knees. Although these injuries pale in comparison to those who live with crippling injuries and can no longer walk, stand, or perform simple daily functions, my own predicament led to me to being more involved and interested in ways to deal with physical issues. …show more content…
Furthermore, the Economics Group is another group that appeals to me. During high school, I was heavily interested in the economy, and even cofounded our high school’s stock market club, serving as its vice president for two years. This groups seems to take two areas I love and combine them. Northwestern engineering seems to have a diversity in their research opportunities and groups which appeals to me. Moreover, McCormick’s core values fit with my personal beliefs about learning. Essentially,what makes me passionate for learning is my desire to learn so that I can eventually use my knowledge in the future for the betterment of society. Specifically, the idea that an engineer must be “responsible for how every person is affected by their work” is something I feel to be true. I want to create positive advancement in the real world, something that Northwestern seems to emphasize this in their
I was a C average student in Jr. High. That's why I set a goal for myself the last day of my middle school career--”get straight A’s in high school”. At the time it seemed more like a “set your goals higher than you think you can accomplish” kind of task. It wasn't something that I truthfully felt I could obtain. Little did I know, I was greatly doubting my abilities as a student. Every hour of homework quickly paid off. When I received my first report card, my mother had the brightest look of pride in her smile. She was relieved that I was able to break the family habit of slacking off in high school. Many family members before me have succumbed to a life of just getting by. I chose to deviate from that philosophy, then, and now. They call
A decision that will last a lifetime my parents had to make was a name between Alexis and Malori. I was four days away from being Alexis. I am Malori Kristine VonTobel and active within the school. I participate in Sunshine Society, Student Council, Pep Club, Knitting Club, Drama Club, volleyball, cheerleading, and swimming. Being this active and still having time to complete my senior project shows how determined I am with anything I do.
Every high school student becomes anxious when waiting for that day to graduate but as graduation gets closer we become more worried on what we will do next and how we will pursue our career out there in the real world. Senior year is about applying to any colleges or universities that will judge you based on how you did throughout your high school years. In addition, the career i'm going to pursue when I graduate and leave high school is in the criminology and criminal justice studies. With a bachelor in criminology and criminal justice I have a variety of jobs I can pick out of. My first choice is to become a customs and border protection officer because I want to protect what enters the U.S. and to keep terrorist from entering. My second
As soon as students begin their high school careers, colleges are looking for who will meet the requirements set to be accepted into college. Tulsa Community College specifically requires current high school students to make a certain score on each section of the ACT so they may take college courses while still in high school. For that reason, I took the ACT for the first time just after my sophomore year, hoping to score high enough for concurrent enrollment. Being a concurrent student allows me to receive college credit so that I may have more time for sports or extracurricular activities when I am an actual college student. My main goal is to major in music then have a career in the music industry. The music industry is a difficult career
Throughout the journey of my highschool career I developed a passion for both sports of soccer, and track and I overall developed who I am as a person and what job characteristics would interest me for my pursuing future. I realized that I want my job to consist of helping others, and being active within the community which led me to the topic of criminal justice. After observing the University of North Carolina Wilmington's web page I reflected on why it would be such a good school for me to pursue. Im very interested in attending UNC Wilmington because it provides the courses i'm very interested in studying which are psychology and sociology and criminology. Another contributing factor that leads my interests into UNC Wilmington are the athletics
Throughout the course of my high school career I have many goals I would like to pursue. One of those goals includes being accepted into both a two and a four-year college so I can hold a Bachelors degree in Science. When I do get accepted into the two and four-year colleges, I plan on working while attending school. Although this goal may be challenging, depending on my classes, I’m going to need a job to support myself. My GPA in college will maintain a 3.7. My field of study will consist of a Radiology program as well as an Ultrasound program to become a Radiology tech/Ultrasound tech. These two fields will allow me a greater chance of finding a job, plus it will supply more yearly income. After college I will be using the knowledge I gained
The planning of your life goal is a major step in becoming successful. The things I do with my life will tell me if I can be successful or not. You cannot get anywhere in life without graduating high school and getting and holding a decent job.
Passion is necessary to excel. Once someone loses desire or motivation for something it becomes quite difficult to continue doing well in that field. I went through a crisis of lost motivation in my first two years of high school.
Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.
During my High school career I was involved with multiple extracurriculars. I played volleyball for 3 years, my Freshman, Sophmore and Junior year. I played soccer for the last 3 years and will be my fourth this spring. I volunteer at my Church, St. Joesph Catholic Church and teach kindergardeners about faith for all my 3 years plus this year. I am a nane to 3 kids this past fall and summer. I play travel soccer this fall aswell. I am envoled in Key club and Arbor club.
Ever since I can remember I have been fortunate enough to have my parents and
As a seventeen-year-old in high school, life is always interesting. My parents started homeschooling my older brother and me when we were in the second grade. We attended Evangel Family Christian Academy which is a school located in Montgomery, Alabama. We switched to a different cover school also located in Montgomery named Ezekiel Academy. When we decided to change schools, I was only in the seventh grade and my brother was a senior. I am still attending Ezekiel Academy and have started my junior year. I play baseball and basketball and have been blessed and fortunate to have my father coach me throughout my current high school career.
As one approaches the middle of his high school career, it is good to acknowledge the progress he has made and the goals he should accomplish. Jesuit has established a description containing five points in which a graduate should have improved during his high school career. This description contains great goals to strive for during school and in the future. During my first three years at Jesuit, I have improved in two ways: becoming more open to growth and more committed to doing justice.
I am a student at El Cajon Valley high school. In this school, I have been enrolled for 2 years now. From the past years I had been explored on my knowledge; such as, how to write an essay, read, speak, and talk in English. It also helped me to graduate from high school and make my career before graduating from high school. Know I got an idea of what kind of career will be mine after graduating; furthermore, I learned that what requirement and skills do I need in order to graduate from high school. My career plan is that to get a diploma in high school and go to two years of community college. So far that two years that I had spent that in high school is really helpful and beneficial for me and my career. My effort and hard work that I put on my school work were really helped me in order to graduate from high school with a diploma. My main focus for being an educated person is to have a bright future. The other critical reason for me to get an education with a great GPA is important because my main point is to be a heart surgeon in my future, so far I can see that my goal for my future could be possible because I have a good GPA on my Science and Math subject which is really important to me in order to achieve my dream.
As I am currently finishing up my high school career, there are many things that I must complete in the next 30 years, so that I am able to consider my life to be a success. There are definitely some physical achievements that I would like to accomplish, as well as, a well structured career. These achievements include a bachelor’s degree and a well paying job. However, other than materialistic aspects, I personally believe that the relationships that you are able to form with other people prove to be very helpful for the rest of your life. Friendships, family relationships, and mentorships can help you through anytime resulting in powerful support systems and a happier life. Due to both of these aspects, I consider a career with accomplishments and healthy, well-rounded relationships to be the cause of one’s success, in life.
