As A Student Of Eaton High School I Have Been Able To Take

Along with being a diligent student who has been enrolled in 11 Advanced Placement classes, I have also dedicated my time to other causes. For example, I have volunteered at public libraries, Special Olympics events, orphanages for intellectually disabled children, and food pantries. While maintaining a rigorous course load and volunteering, I also work at Kumon. I tutor children to boost their confidences and understanding of concepts vital to their future success. Moreover, I have received membership to The National Honor Society and have been awarded an AP Scholar with Merit Award. My dedication to becoming more culturally aware and five years of enrollment in Spanish classes has allowed me to be inducted into Spanish Honor Society. Within

A lot of people set a challenge to improve. By setting a challenge, individuals work hard, asking for help and advice from experienced advisors. Challenges motivate people and keep them working hard. The most significant challenge I have faced was getting a full scholarship into the private school, American Heritage High School in Plantation. This challenge was crucial for me because I came to United States in the middle of sixth grade. I went to Falcon Cove Middle School, and the school placed me in regular classes within the ESOL program. The ESOL program is a program designed for foreign students who do not speak English well. I got out of the program once I passed the placement test to the Cambridge program. In middle school, I won a variety

Education and learning has been something that has fascinated me from an early age. This fascination has encouraged me to strive for the best. Throughout high school, I have managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA while participating in extracurricular activities and organizations such as Lewisville High School’s JV Dance/Drill Team, Varsity Theatre, Speech/Debate, National Honor Society, and Student Council. Along with my school involvement I have been working part-time at Chick Fil A for two years.

I work every day on expanding my knowledge so I can hopefully maintain my commendable GPA of 4.98. I am currently in all advanced core classes and I am willing to do anything I can to maintain an A in these classes. My academic excellence is very important to me because I am hoping to have a successful career as a Pediatric Pulmonologist. Thus meaning that I will need to go to medical school. I am hoping if I push myself enough now, I will be able to get a portion of my schooling paid for. I enjoy learning, I desire to learn as much as I can while I am still student of Lampasas High

“Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” Some people have to overcome challenges to have a meaning in life and not just give up. This is exemplified in, “The Contender,” by Derek Burnett, “Life in the Red,” by Benedict Carey, and “ Paralympic Star makes history on NBA stage,” by E Lancaster. After reading and annotating the articles about a determined Kyle Maynard, motivational Blake Leeper, and a resourceful Lakeisha Tuggle one could make the choice be successful in life and give up. But to do these things, you have to have a good attitude and “cut out” things that aren't a necessity.

As a student athlete, I was challenged

The biggest obstacle I faced was separating my role as an athlete from my identity. As the saying goes, I put all my eggs into one basket. Everything I knew, everything I loved, everything that made me happy revolved around a sport. Suddenly, the inevitable occurred. It ended. Now my weekends weren’t occupied by long bus rides. I wasn’t spending my free time in the athletic training room. The group chat with my teammates wasn’t being blown up with inside jokes and funny pictures.

I attend Greenbrier High School and have a very busy school life which includes many extracurricular activities and programs while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. This year, I am taking one class that is Advanced Placement (AP) and I am receiving 9 concurrent credit hours from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). I plan on graduating with Highest Honors. I participate in Destination Imagination (DI), Band, Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), National Beta Club, Art Club, and Book Club.

A challenge that I have faced was when I challenged Nathaniel in wrestling. He beat me a lot but I kept trying and kept trying until one day i won the varsity spot. now i go to all of the tournaments and matches. my brother danyon has been wrestling for a very long time. i've always wanted to wrestle so i tried it out and i love it. my main goal for the end of the season is to go to the state tournament.

The most significant challenged I have faced is having three major surgeries over the course of two years. The May of my 8th grade year, my appendix burst and I had emergency surgery to remove all the poison in my stomach. Then 7 months later, when I was a Freshman at PDHS, I discovered the ACL in my left knee was torn. Then the following year, the March of my Sophomore year I tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus in my right knee during my last home game in the Aztec stadium. As a student athlete this news was devastating to me because before all three surgeries I knew I was going to have to be out of soccer for months and school for several weeks. The following months after I missed quite a bit of school due to recovery, physical therapy, and doctors

The most challenging experience for me recently would be when I tried out for the varsity baseball team and did not make it. This is important to me because sports have been a part of me for all my life and its hard going without them. When I was told I was not going to be a part of the team because of my skill level it killed me emotionally. I was determined to practice as hard as I could so I could be a part of the team the next year. I went to my old coaches to ask them for advice. They reassured me and convinced me to play club baseball for the year to see how things play out. I'm glad I took the route I did and asked for advice. Now I'm practicing every week and hoping to try again this upcoming year for a spot on the

To be blatantly honest, I am extremely qualified to be a student in the Honors College at ECU. My GPA and grades show my ability to succeed in a challenging environment and my dedication to learning. By the time I graduate in May, I will have completed the requirements for an Associate in Arts and an Associate in Science. Unless something absolutely catastrophic occurs, I will graduate with a 4.0 GPA from Beaufort County Community College. My success in the early college program demonstrates that I have the ability to excel at East Carolina University as well. Many of my instructors have praised me for my hard work, attention to detail, and writing ability. Beyond just my grades and test scores, there is another reason why I will thrive in

Where do I began? How about the situation I’m currently facing? You see, my high school offers three different types of diplomas: Standard, Advanced, and Advanced Honors. Since freshman year, I aimed for the Advanced Dipoloma. The Advance Diploma differs from the Standard Diploma in two ways. First, I must earn twenty-four credits instead of twenty-two and half credits (which I will have accomplished by the end of the school year). This is because I take an additional credit of Math, an additional credit of Science, and take a credit of a class from the Arts and Humanities Program in place of the one and a half credits from electives. Now the thing that’s unfair, and that’s holding me back, is the GPA requirment. For the Standard Diploma, you can pass with any grade above an F but with the Advanced Diploma I must have a 3.25 unweighted GPA.

I have been a member of a scholar program at my school for all of high school. This Rancho Verde program requires a certain GPA to be accepted and remain in it. For four years Rancho Verde Scholars leads a pathway of advanced classes and AP courses students are required to take. When I enrolled in the program, I was required to take honors and AP courses starting my first year of high school.  As a result, a summer course was also required before my freshman year to prepare for the AP course, as well as a health course since it did not fit into my yearly courses. With great effort I able to maintain a high GPA and school ranking in order to stay and succeed in the program. In all honesty, I am grateful that it has allowed me to challenge myself

The most significant challenge I have faced was balancing my academics and sports. I have been involved in the boy's soccer program at Palm Desert High School since my freshman year and each season has proven to be a test for me academically. I must say that attempting to balance my school work and soccer during my freshman and sophomore year has taken a toll on my academic achievement. It is unfortunate, however, I learned many things that will benefit me in the future. It was difficult because stress and anxiety amounted on top of all the school work and assignments that needed to be completed with the little time I had in my hands. Each season lasted around four months and during those four months, I accumulated bad habits. I procrastinated
