College Admissions Essay: Entering High School

Up until high school, I never really knew what I wanted to pursue in. There were so many options and although I did have some idea before entering the 9th grade, I was still waiting to find a subject that I truly enjoyed. During my freshmen year, I finally found that subject – biology.

My Junior Year of high school just recently started. I have learned so many different things while attending high school, and still have over a year to learn even more. As Matthew Kelly said, “whether you are sixteen or sixty, the rest of your life is ahead of you. You cannot change one moment of your past, but you can change your whole future.” This means while I have done a lot in my past, I cannot change anything that has already happened, but I am able to change my future. One of the most important things that I am involved in right now is school. My first two years at CBHS were good, and I made decent grades. Some of the grades that I made I am not very happy with now but I cannot change that so I need to focus on my grades right now because those are the ones I can change.

When people tell you that high school would be the best time of your life, you don’t really understand the magnitude of what they’re saying until your time is coming to an end. A lot of people say that you “find yourself” in college. I, however, had the advantage of finding myself in high school. These past six years have been awesome, and I really mean it. I know it might not seem believable for a high school student to enjoy school, but I’m not lying about this stuff. I felt this way even before there was a scholarship to apply for. My mom taught me from a young age to enjoy going to school, and as much stress as it might have caused me over the years, I still loved every second of it. It’s easy to focus on the undesirable parts like sleep

Looking back at the years that I have completed in high school is a funny but a true life changer. If I was to go back to one year of high school I would want to go back to freshman year. One reason why I would want to go back to freshman year is to talk to myself. Another reason I would want to go back it tell myself to listen more. The last reason would to see if I could improve myself in any way.

I’m Andy Adams a Junior in high school and in early middle college. I clearly don’t have a favorite subject yet, but soon enough. In English class I’m a little rusty on some stuff, but can work through it. I’m very motivated, when there is an assignment I’m on it right away and get done. I do get rusty on test and I still get retakes if I failed miserably and still get on it. I’m very good in English like I get a B previous English classes.

It has always been hard for me to properly envision my future, as it is always changing. As a child I thought of becoming a doctor, in middle school I dreamt of becoming a journalist, and my plans for the future are still shifting. However, there has always been one common element among my aspirations for the future, and that is the desire to engage in and improve the lives of others. This central desire is what leads me to choose Georgetown as the school which perfectly encapsulates my interests.

I was thirteen when I graduated from middle school. It was a big day in my family, my parents hadn't finished high school, so they were very excited to see another daughter move onto high school and higher education. This was an event that showed how willing I was to pursue an education, in my family it showed maturity and responsability.

Throughout most of my high school career, I looked down on community colleges and believed that they were only for those who didn’t care about school or who hadn’t managed to get into a 4-year university. I admired those who went to schools like UT, Baylor, or A&M and thought that I would be one of them upon graduating. However, towards the end of my senior year, that all changed. Before continuing my education, I wanted to not only explore other career options, but also prepare myself mentally and academically. As a smaller, less expensive, and closer alternative to 4-year universities, Lone Star College offered the optimal environment.

Have you ever thought about how high school would be like once you got there? I have thought about it a lot. I have a sister in high school and she says it is fun. Well I will tell you what I am looking forward to, and what I am dreading about high school. In my first paragraph body I will tell you about what I am looking forward to. Then in my second body paragraph. I will tell you what I am dreading about going to high school.

From the time I was in elementary school I always preferred math and science. My favorite subject was astronomy and my favorite thing about astronomy was black holes. I thought that the concept of a rip in space was almost inconceivable. How the more you go into a black hole the slower the pull is until you reach the event horizon. When I was a kid, I had a solid memory. I knew about all this stuff but I had no clue how any of it worked. I believed that having a strong memory meant that I was intelligent but as I began my journey into mathematics I would soon discover otherwise.

High School was the beginning of my journey. I joined Advanced Placement and Honors courses to prepare myself for college. I took AP Physics and AP Calculus as part of my goals to become an engineer. I began taking those courses to get a better understanding of math and science. By the time I was in high school my goals were to not only receive A’s in all of my math and science courses, but most importantly, to have a well and extensive understanding of the material. I wanted to leave the class every day and be able to apply everything I learned in all my courses, especially math and science, to the real

It’s 3 a.m. I’ve struggled for the last hour to go to sleep. I am turning and tossing around my bed unable to shut my brain off. Why? Because i am stressed about tomorrow. However, there is something i must say. The real truth about tomorrow.

I live in a society where education rules, and as I am entering my nineteenth year of existence, the world I live in has education on its highest pedestal ever. It’s no secret that high school presents every American boy or girl with a four year battle of the brains. The purpose of high school; to prepare you for college. For some, it’s simple enough to do every homework assignment, study for every test, and get A's in every class. For others, they require a spark. This could be a spark of imagination, love, passion, interest, or maybe a simple reality check. As for me, I needed a spark. I needed to “fail” at high school.

It all started with a passion, enormous shoes to fill. Since my father was one of the top players amongst his peers in Sinaloa. I remember the feeling of just trying to make that varsity roster for my freshman year of high school. From time to time I was told multiple times that i wouldn’t be a good enough player. Maybe I surrounded myself with people that envied me, but at the same time once adjusted they still manifested in my dreams. All I could do is acknowledge it and tear them, not with words but with achievements. One by one they would vanish and disappear but somehow negative vibes still happened to appear. Not From anybody else but from myself. As the years went by my anxiety grew and i became my worst enemy. The summer before my freshman

High School Do you remember your high school days? High school for me has proved to be a learning experience and also a challenge. There are many lessons that can be learned. You can learn more about yourself, who your friends are, what kind of help is offered to you, and what your strengths and your weaknesses are. Attending High School helped build my confidence because my classmates were supportive, my teachers taught me how to study for tests, and the math tutors helped me overcome my fear of math.
