College Admissions Essay: My Accomplishments In My Life

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.

Life normally doesn’t go the way you plan when you’re young. When I was little, I figured that when I was at the age of graduation I would be totally prepared to go off my own. As I sit and think about the topic of how my life is going, several thoughts pour into my mind. First, I think of how lucky I am. The past two years could’ve changed my life because of bad health. Through weeks and months of hospitals stays and hours spent in the doctor’s office and in the emergency room, I’ve come out lucky and I have almost returned to good health. Second, I think of those friends who I thought would be there for my whole life that are no longer a part of my life. I also look to the people who I never thought would be there by my side and realize

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.

There have been labels placed upon me throughout my life. Some have stayed with me while others have dropped off. Without these labels ruling how people see me I feel like I would be more free to do things than I am now.

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.

I used want to be a professional dancer or a dance teacher. Then it would be like hair stylist, a doctor, lawyer, house designer, or fashion designer. I would personally love to be a fashion designer but it's a very difficult career to get somewhere. You have to be very god and get noticed by someone famous, if you get noticed by someone famous then you most likely made it but it's very difficult to get there. Another career i am interested in is a lawyer. But in order to be a lawyer you have to be ready to speak in front of a lot of people and be comfortable and confident with it. I get stage fright so i'm not sure being a lawyer is right for me. But on the other hand i argue very well. I believe you should do a career that you love and enjoy because if you don't and you don't enjoy your career your just gonna be miserable. It is important to have a job the pays well but it is just as important to have a job you

My personal growth is a significant aspect of who I am, moreover, this continues to be a trait I strive to develop. To understand how far I’ve come as a person, you need to see where I came from and what motivated me to change.

Achieve, believe and succeed. These three verbs have summed up to who I am today, where I want to go, and who I will be tomorrow. Still to this day, my life has been categorized as the "all around." Instead of people asking me "what do you do?", they ask me, "what can't you do?" I believe in the fact that we are given a purpose in life, it's up to you to figure it out. That is exactly what I am determined and strong-willing going to do. I want the best for and in my life, the only way that is possible, is to earn it. I first earned part of my future by being accepted to an Early College High School, which is a school to where I earn my high school degree and my associate's degree. Out of the thousands that applied, I was chosen to be in their

“Be strong, banish fear and doubt, and remember the lord is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9 New International Version). Next month on September 28th, will be my 30th birthday, another milestone will be met. As I look forward to celebrate this milestone, I have also taken the time to reflect on who I am today. Throughout the years, I have experienced many obstacles that have influenced me into becoming the person I am currently. Moving to Columbia, South Carolina had great, if not the greatest, influence on me.

I believe in setting a schedule and a goal for a certain amount of time helps you efficiently accomplish all of your tasks. In my opinion, being organized and following discipline helps advance your achievements in school.

I was born and raised in Kerala, India, son of an arranged married couple with Indian ancestry. I am the eldest son with one little brother. Because I am the eldest child in the family I have to be little responsible and a good role model for my brother, and my younger cousins. Last four years of my life was like a magic to me. I would say those for the toughest time period I had to face. Some times I wish, “can this all be a dream and go back to my 5th grade year”. I don’t know, fifth grade till my eighth grade was the best years of my life. I could still remember visiting my cousins and family every week, visiting friends, playing cricket, family dinners, and so on. Four years ago, I moved to America. I still remember the exact date-April 18,

My accomplishments would include my high school diploma, college degree, my work accomplishments, and personal accomplishments. I’m the first in my family to receive a college degree and that alone is a great accomplishment for me. I have been fully employed since the age of sixteen and have worked in many different types of jobs while attending school. I received the title of training manager at my first job, and was in charge of training the new employees. I worked at Herman Miller for a short period of time as a temp and had better quality control and more quantity produced then prior workers. I have excelled at every job I have ever taken. I currently work in a position with only the boss and I. I’m highly trusted by my boss and have ran

Studies show that children have a vast capacity for acquiring skills. I could’ve chosen ballet or soccer or acting, but my first hobby in life was reading. What started off as a fun way to pass time in the long, hot summers of Texas, became my escape for any problems in life. My mother would sometimes leave her medical books out and I still remember reading all about tobacco and its effect on the human lung in just 2nd grade. I didn’t understand any of the terms, of course, but to this day, I have never been tempted to even pick up a cigarette, still recalling the images of a blackened lung from the book. The human anatomy fascinated me from them on. I wondered how blood flows through our body, what caused our hearts to beat, and how any of us could possibly stay alive.

From the moment I saw that life is full of difficulties, I knew that I had to have differences from others. Being from a Persian and Jewish family you acknowledge many aspects of the world. Born in Iran and raised in the United States it has given me a distinct perspective on life. Up to junior high school I’ve attended private school which strengthened my morals and I chose to switch to a public school for high school which turned everything around. In private school I have earned honors in the subjects I am always passionate about and became most valuable player and captain of the school basketball team. Education has upgraded my critical thinking however sports has brought important elements into my life. Yes, playing sports strengthened my physical body, and it also taught me more about others from different backgrounds. The components and challenges that have most carved my personal life and ambitions are my family and solitude.
