Becoming An Honor Student

It was a beautiful morning with two of my greatest loves I drank a cup of coffee strong just how I liked it .The Smell of eggs, bacon and potatoes filled the air . I was happy, but not as happy as other people My job was horrible I was in debt and there was nothing that could cheer me up. Except the smile on my daughters face . It was a usual morning my daughter Sophie playing with our dog dexter and him slobbering all over her face. Then Suddenly the lights go out and saw my daughter and wife taken away by men in dark tuxedos and I was tied to a chair and saw a strange man in a shadow he told . Nice morning we are having aren't we Joe I replied sure it was just wonderful before you came, he laughed I was worried and thought hard were my family went He caught me day dream and screamed he said Joe I am here for only one reason to inform you that you are recruited to the superhero secret service academy and you are not to say a word you will learn how to become a superhero and protect the citizens of the world

It was the first Sunday of December morning when my father asked me to take some boxes to the basement, I had never been down there, as a kid I always thought it was scary, but know as a 19-year-old guy, how could I say no. I went downstairs with a couple of boxes, but could not find any place to put them. The area was a mess, so I decided that I would organize every box that was there. While I was organizing, I notice this one box hidden in the back, so, I decided to open it. Inside the box, there was a newspaper and a couple of burnt pictures. Therefore, I decided to read the article, I could not understand much, it was an 18 years old newspaper, but it talked about a burning house with two twin babies, It said that one had been saved with no harm while the other one was rescued later on with severe burn mark. It was a miracle that other baby had survived, they called him miracle Carlos, and his brother Richard. I stood there for a second before my brain processed

Throughout my high school career, I chose to challenge myself in the classroom. Rather than taking the basic route to earning a high school diploma, I chose to seek an even high honor of obtaining the honor's diploma. Throughout my years, I was told by various people that the honor's diploma was unnecessary, colleges won't care about it, and that it's just for bragging rights. Although some of these statements may be true, I didn't let the negativity get in the way of my goal. I was set on working towards and honor's diploma and no one was going to stop me.

My experiences and accomplishments throughout high school may qualify me to be accepted into NJIT Honors College. I have learned so much about civil engineering and computer graphic design through my internship at InfoTran engineers. I created models of intersections that would later be used by real surveyors in New York City. If accepted into Honors College, I would be able to use my skills that I learned here to design and create different things to be used in the real world. I have also had experience with web page design through a class in high school. I learned HTML code, css as well as photoshop. I have hands on experience on how to create the bones of a website using HTML. I can use this experience in the honors college because it gives

With all of the cracks in the ceiling of your bedroom, you can see the stars at night and the sun in the morning. With all of the old rotted hardwood floors, you hope to stay in that room until the morning and not end up in the room below you. At night you start to stare around your room as you fall asleep, then you see a splatter of blood on the wall and you get up and check behind the door and see HELP written all in blood. And at the vent there’s tons of blood leading down it. Then you hear a noise come from the room below, and when you go and see whats making the noise, there’s a girl in a chair and shes all tied up. Then you realize, that girl in the chair is your daughter. Right after you untie her the window bursts wide open with

I find it exceedingly thought-provoking to describe one experience that has impacted me as a person. Being raised by a single parent and coming from a family that struggled financially, I have been subject to multiple stereotypes and for a time, those stereotypes were true. I was unsuccessful in school and I was not an exemplary student. This persisted for a time until I joined a youth group that I still participate in today. My pastor served as my mentor and little by little I began to improve who I was as a person. I went from being the unsuccessful student that many thought I would be and turned myself into a person I could be proud of. I’m now pleased to be an Honor Student and I actively participate in school. I exceeded even my own expectations

Its getting late and i didn't know what to do. I've been sitting in my cozy room down stairs with my tv and phone in my hand for what seems like hours but have couldn't be because I just ate dinner. I can hear everyone's footsteps and low voices above my head going down the stairs right now. Getting up off my bed and turning off my tv i hear my dad call for me. i take off my sweatshirt and put my shoes on. I turn my light off and walk out the door down the bright hallway.

I came home from school and laid on my bed mentally exhausted from the work I had been doing for the past 7 hours. I kicked my shoes off and got up to turn on the light, I flicked the light switch and started to walk away before realizing the light didn’t turn on. I flicked it off and on a few more times before going to the living room to look for my mom. ‘Mommmm” I said “Are you home?” I walk down the hall “The powers off again” Realizing she isn’t home I go back to my room and go to bed.

Ever since my sophomore year, I have known that I wanted to attend college, discovering and choosing a school that fulfills all of my needs was a rigorous yet exciting task. Attending CCBC as a dual-enrollment and Homeland Security Internship has given me the perspective of a college student, but I still felt as if something was missing. As a student of Dundalk High School, I have participated in honors, gifted and talented, and advance placement courses all throughout my four years. It was not until this year, as a senior, that I have realized how much experience I have gained from these courses, and how different my learning experience would be if I had chosen the easier path.

The road that leads to success, have to pass through hard work boulevard at some point. Aspiring for greatness and success is a very beautiful thing. However, success comes with hard work, determination and sacrifice. Being admitted into the honors college is a step towards success. Besides the financial privileges, I would love to join the honors college because of the grandeur of graduation with honors, the extraordinary opportunities of being in the honors program, and my contribution to the program through my tutoring

In elementary school, I didn't like school at all. I wasn't the smartest out everyone and my grades weren't up to part. I didn't even realize how important school was until the 8th grade, when I saw all my friends getting into selective enrollment high schools, making top 10, and joining the national Jr. honor society. From that year forward I told myself I had to do better. Making honor roll for my first year was a big accomplishment. My sophomore year was challenging. I started taking college level classes, and I didn't do so good on some of the test. I went to my former math teacher crying because most of my peers had gotten 90’s or above. To make me feel better he told me that he failed the class that I was taking twice. That showed me

The accomplishment consists of students who have done exceptionally in all courses of enrollment.Students who thrive to reacg this achievement are obligated to attain a grade of an 85 or higher in all courses. This requirement was different my middle school encounter; I was under the impression it was the same. Therefore, when I beame informed, I made it my goal to become a honor roll

Waking up I felt pretty good. I hopped out of bed and put on some different clothes. Looking at my clock I realized it was already 11. I checked my phone and there was a text from Delia saying, “Hey want to come over?”. I responded quickly saying, “Sure”. I went out to the kitchen, and saw my mom was sitting around watching some TV in the living room. I grabbed some bread put it in the toaster and waited around for a few minutes until I heard it shoot up. I grabbed my car keys and walked out of the door.

My dad soon got sick he was vomiting blood, one time I walked in and he was eating bloody meat! I didn't know what was going on, I'm here all alone dad soon turned into something I've not ever seen before. We were sitting on the couch and dad was doing his own little thing then I hear something hit the floor, I get up my sister follows and I tell her to stay, I grab the closest thing to me and went to the kitchen, I seen my father lying on the ground, I went over to check on him he wasn't breathing, things got really quiet, the all of a sudden her tried to bite me! I had to hit him with the fire poker I had in my hands….that's a day I will not forget….that's the day everything changed! I ended up boarding the house up. My sister soon got sick and died, I was left alone. I eventually left the house in Maine, now I'm in New York. Things were different when I came here, until the people started getting sick here too. There are not much of us left, people are hard to

In order to be successful as an honors student, there are several qualities one must possess. An honors student should have risk tolerance, motivation, and confidence.
