Advanced Placement Physics Personal Statement

The most important and fun extracurricular activity I participate in is being a member of a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics Team. I first entered a robotics team in the eighth grade, participating in a similar program called FIRST Lego League (FLL). Before FLL, I had no idea about what I wanted to be when I grow up and frankly, I had no ambition. After being introduced to robotics in 2013, it has become my #1 passion in which I spend around an average of 4-6 hours per week - sometimes even more during the peak season.

My sophomore year I was inducted into National Honor Society and in my Junior and Senior year I was a member of National Honor Society. National Honor Society is an organization that benefits the students who volunteer within the community and who achieves high academics. Within the group, I have done many projects such as cleaning the highway, the food bank, and the nursing home. It is a great honor to be a part of this club and give back to our community.

I am honored to be one of the students being considered to be a member of the National Honor Society. It is an organization that many students work hard to be in and look forward to being a part of. I have been waiting for this opportunity and have been working very hard to be offered a chance to be inducted to the National Honor Society. I think I deserve to be a part of this organization because I demonstrate the qualities needed to succeed in the National Honor Society and I will work hard to contribute to it.

Before my undergraduate freshman year, I have been searching for a field that I would be passionate about. In the summer, I would participate in an event that can enhance my skills. Notably, the program called Joaquin-Bustoz Math-Science Honors Program (JBMSHP) increased my love for math and science. The students spend eight hours per day learning a math course. Using the mathematical contents, my teammate and I built up a research topic to work for the eight week of the program. Every day, many students stayed up until 2PM to complete over 75 math problems. If the homework was lower than an 80%, we would go to a night tutoring. The program was intense and nerve-wrecking. In the beginning, I was doubting myself if I could ever continue it until

I am greatly honored to be selected amidst the commendable students who are being viewed to be future National Honor Society members. I am extremely joyous to have the opportunity to join an organization that does such incredible things for our small community. I believe that I have earned this honor due to all of the hard work and dedication that I have put into my highschool career.

As a National Honor Society member, I have been able to be involved in many activities to help the school and charity organizations through bake sales and other fundraising events. Also, I have been involved in tutoring and this year I obtained a leadership position as the Technology Coordinator. As a tutor, I have helped other students in courses or subjects that I am proficient at, specifically math and science classes. As the Technology Coordinator, I am responsible for preparing the presentations for the National Honor Society Assemblies.

Becoming successful and learning from my parents mistakes is the greatest educational and career related goal I have. I aspire to major in criminal justice to become a probation officer for the youth, or to earn my degree in social work. I am most confident that I want to impact the lives of others to help them reach their own goals and help them discover all that they can be in life..

I chose Applies Arts and Science because I wanted to continue to make a difference and have an impact on young people in my community. This field, allows me the opportunity to take more courses to enhance my overall knowledge and understanding of some the issues that face our society. So many times in our society arts and science of both put on the back burners of what is important the reality of it is these are two very important fields of study and the help and understand how to alleviate some of the Associates is that exist in our society today. I plan on using the skills and knowledge I learned to have contributed to the betterment of

As a high school student, I am honored to be a part of the National Honor Society and have participated in many clubs such as the Gay-Straight Alliance

To me, it was always my goal to get into college and i would be the first one there. Now my main and ending goal is to graduate with a bachelor degree of computer science come end of 4-5 years. There are many steps and goals that i tend to follow to get to my end goal.

showing signs of an interest within engineering. As I grew older, so did this interest,

I have always enjoyed science class since sixth grade when we first started learning about physics, particularly, work and force. Since then, my passion for science has evolved throughout middle school and high school. I enjoyed learning biology in tenth grade while making connections with the human anatomy taught in seventh grade. It is fascinating how everything is interconnected in the field of science. Currently, I am taking Advanced Placement Chemistry as a junior. The most interesting aspect of this class is the opportunity to learn new material while making connections with the curriculum taught in the past. I enjoy dissecting new information and constructing interdisciplinary connections.

I am a very determined and self-motivated person, and once I have set myself a goal, I will strive to achieve it. I am very much looking forward to meeting like-minded people at college and having the opportunity to get involved in the wide range of activities and societies that are on offer. Looking to the future, I am very keen to pursue a career in the Computer Science industry as I believe it to be an extremely dynamic and versatile area of work, with many exciting opportunities.
