Accomplishments Essay

One of my most cherished thoughts is that all goals are in grasp if you can work hard enought and long enought you can achieve them. I also believe with dedication any person can reach what they dreamed about.

What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.

Throughout my 5th grade year, I practiced the clarinet and made my way through our first book. I enjoyed band class and lessons, especially getting to be with some of my friends, but I kept thinking about the trombone. I still wanted to play it. By the end of the year, I made up my mind. I was going to play the trombone. I talked to my parents, and my mom talked to Mrs. Jones, allowing me to take the school’s trombone home over the summer between 5th and 6th grade. The first day I got it, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I took it right out of the case and put it together. I was at my parents’ work,

Last summer when rosters came out I was so happy to see you on my advisor list, I knew who you were of course, because I know your family. However, it was an abiding pleasure to get to know you as an individual. It was a real joy to see grow and develop this year, and I was glad to have played my small part.

Throughout the course of freshmen year I have developed different skills and opinions on writing. I feel I have created a more mature style of writing and a better understanding of literature. I have changed my view of writing over this semester and acquired a strong liking for it. The importance of writing has become more visible throughout the past few months. Writing is crucial in many aspects of a person’s life. I have grown to be a more powerful and well built writer throughout this course.

The music started playing like I’ve heard before time and time again, morning practice after morning practice. In that moment I wanted to win. We deserved to win no matter what size of band we were, we worked to get into finals and I wanted to put on the best performance of the season. I took my first step into my spot on the squishy turf field and did what I’ve done multiple times before. Next thing I know I’m in my position on the field playing my last chord of our performance feeling utterly exhausted and like I’ve just ran a marathon. I felt like we all gave it everything we had and then the crowd stands up and gives us a standing ovation. It was the most incredible feeling I had ever gotten. At that moment everything seemed worth it, all of the six a.m. practices, the two weeks of band camp, running through the same sets over and over again in the ninety degree weather. Everything seemed like it wasn’t that bad, I didn’t want to be anywhere else in that moment. Then I heard the snare drum, amongst all of the applause, leading us off of the field. Once we were off everybody was tearing up and saying that they gave that performance all they had. Now all we had to do was wait until all of the others were done performing until we could figure out what we got. It was pure torture

The wind tousled my hair around as I closed my eyes and took deep, shaky breaths. The faint sound of the crowd cheering upstage didn't help with my nerves, so, instead, I turned my ears to the delicate waves rolling up the beach. I opened my eyes and gazed out at the lake; now an open canvas for the golden sun which had began setting. Quietly, I plucked each string of my guitar- though I’d already tuned them several times. On the outside, I may have seemed ready, content, and excited; however, on the inside, no matter how tranquilizing the back stage scenery was, I was terrified to the core.

     The band had a special meeting planned after we played the music for our church’s Thanksgiving Supper. We showed up to the church on a cold Saturday morning, making our way to the auditorium. We began to discuss the

Aside from personal accomplishments, two of my greatest accomplishments regarding my craft as a writer would have to be the following:

Our music starts, and we all glide across the dark stage like angels. I can feel the hot lights on my face, and the beating eyes of everyone in the auditorium as my solo part begins.

The day came, and all of us were excited to finally play our music for 1500 people. We boarded our vehicle, a yellow school bus, and headed to Edmond North. All of us were in such a cheerful, happy mood that afternoon since missing school was an added bonus to the opportunity of performing rock music. The first two hours were rehearsal and were not so bad. Fortunately, the stage was not crowded, so we got our own stands. However, we had to stand up, so we got really worn-out. At about four, we finished rehearsal and went to get food.

I first started playing trombone in 6th grade at Avon Intermediate School West. Since then I have grown to love the trombone and all low brass as now my main instrument is bass trombone but I also play euphonium. Once I entered Avon High School I joined the marching band. In the marching band I have competed at grand national championships finals multiple times. I have also won three state titles in the marching band. Another special moment I had at Avon was performing at the Midwest Clinic with the brass choir. The teachers at Avon have helped me progress so much not only as a player, but as a person. They taught me the values of hard work and how success will follow a good work ethic. Outside of Avon I have performed in the Indianapolis Symphony

My greatest accomplishment is standing where I am right now. Life is a constant work-in-progress and that all moments, the monumental huge ones and the small quiet ones, all makeup who I am. Having lived in different countries, I’ve been cultivated by various topics (i.e. science, ideologies, and entertainment) into a multifaceted person and global citizen. Throughout my life, I have been able to connect with people from different backgrounds and build valuable relationships. In August 2009 at the age of 23, I moved to the United States for graduate school without having any family or friends. Since then, I received my Ph.D. in Biomedical engineering and worked for several top technology companies. I have made many friends and built a diverse and strong network around the world.

The end of 2014 drew closer and closer and I started to review my year’s resolutions and review my accomplishments to put perspective what was completed and what needed to be rolled into 2015. As I reached the end of my list, I realized that I had accomplished many things, but one item kept being pushed from year to year; I thought, was it because of lack of time, money, or just fear. So I decided to do the next best thing that I know of, pray for guidance and clarity; hence, on January 5, 2015, I walked into MGT 5020 –Managing Organizational Behavior class, looked around and could not believe I was actually going back to school after more than ten years. Nonetheless, I was excited and ready for the journey, still a little fearful, to be honest.
