College Admissions Essay: Three-Year-Personal Narrative

What was one of your extensive school accomplishments? I got the music award In 4th grade.In middle school, I got the awards.In middle school, I got the a-b honor roll award and kindness award.I think all schools should have awards such as : the music award, a-b honor roll, and kindness award these are the awards I am most noble of.

This award will also help me support my progress toward graduation because I feel like I need help on my financial situation to keep striving for my ultimate goal of graduation. I want to keep going in my studies because I am interested in so much in my field, I truly see myself having a career in this path and want to continue to study and learn more. I have always been passionate about school, but I feel like because of where I came from my education system was not good, and all I was doing was trying to finish an assignment and that's it. When I got here I remember how much I loved learning and I love that I’m learning and also making a lot of connections with different concepts with different courses. I have a passion for education and determined to get my diploma at the end of it

An award that I consider a great accomplishment is receiving and earning a spot on the Honor Roll. I pride myself on the dedication and effort I put into my school work and grades. I always try to do the best I can to ensure I understand and truly know the material I am given. I strive to make all of the work I do in school up to above average standards. My education is my number one priority and I aim to always have worthy work and grades.

Throughout the last 14 years of school I have had what I thought were called accomplishments, from getting A honor roll or even AB honor roll, to me that was always a big deal ever since I was a little girl. As school went on, I recieved awards here and there from teachers for many different things. Some were just from doing well on something, and others were for accomplishing something in class. Even though, I may have thought that those pieces of paper were a huge deal, one of the most special most meaningful ones I have recieved was last year at the end of the year for the underclassmen awards banquet. For this awards banquet only selected students were invited to attend, which in that case most of us are not sure of what we were selected for we just go and

The award is hung up on our family bulletin board littered amongst report cards, certificates and sport pictures. Although these items seem to rotate in and out as the years go by this award is fixed. Everytime I walk by the award it brings me back to that moment in that auditorium. It lets me know whenever I’m struggling or get down on myself that there is a way and all find

In my 12 years of school I have won a variety of awards. They range from sports, academics, participation, and some for just who I am as a person. I am proud for each and every single one of those awards. Even though some might be for just trying, I still take them as accomplishments. The one award that stands out from all the others is the award that I won in my eighth grade year, The President’s Academic Achievement Award.

Since I am not in a dance company, I did not think that I would be a candidate for an award. However, when they got to the award for hard working students, I was one of the five students recognized. My ballet teacher said: “Emma has been very dedicated and hardworking all year. Even though she had an injury for half of the year, she made sure to still come to class and do what she could.” I accepted the award graciously, and almost dropped because it felt very heavy, as if I were lifting a 50 pound weight instead. Not only was it an extreme honor, but there were only five students to receive the award! I still feel so blessed and thankful for all

I felt as if I was ,in a sense, finally measuring up to my peers. Once I sat back down, I started to enjoy the ceremony more. I observed as the number ten group received their award for having over 1,000 hours of community service, the group eleven, then group twelve and so on. Patiently, I awaited for Mr. Bravo to hold up the twenty one in order to receive my last award. When he finally did, I stood up and began to walk toward the stage’s stairs, but I noticed that I was the only one there. The times I went up before, I could hear the sound of chairs folding up and students chattering as they walk to get in line. But not this time. All you could here were the clicks of my heels. I began to feel even more nervous now. I had absolutely no clue what the award was for. Why was I the only one here. “Is it a special award? Did I read the number wrong? Was I in line for the wrong number?” My mind began to overflow with these questions. This time my principle began with “Our next award is being presented to a special student whom the counseling staff has chosen as this years Champion of Character for her extraordinary high school growth.” She then continued with “Congratulations to Ms. Leslie Ruiz.” I proceeded to walk on stage and receive my award. I was very nervous as I stood on stage alone, but I also felt very honored and ecstatic to receive such a special award. From a distance I could see my parents and my boyfriend as they

Throughout my high school years, I have received several awards that I am proud of achieving. In freshman year, I was awarded the Geometry Award by my teacher, Mr. Mestyanek. I had the opportunity to have a great teacher and be able to learn new things thanks to him. I knew I wasn’t the smartest student in that class, but was one of the most hardworking. Due to this, Mr. Mestyanek selected me because of how helpful I was with other students when they needed assistance. In addition, I have also been granted other awards in other subjects including English, Advancement Via Individual Determination, Pre-Calculus, and Physics. During my first two years of high school, I managed to maintain A’s and B’s in all my classes throughout each school year.

I awarded my second ribbon to Ms Beaudet, a teacher at the Sacred Heart School of Montreal. Ms Beaudet was my science teacher in Secondary four, volleyball coach in Secondary three as well as my track and field coach for the past two years. This being said, I have known her for the past two years and I believe she has helped shape the student and the athlete i have become today. To me, Ms Beaudet has brought a source of motivation, diligence and achievement to my life. She has helped target my weaknesses in order to develop them into strengths and allow me reinforce my strong points. Ms Beaudet’s enthusiasm, dedication and motivation are contagious and have allowed me to prosper inside and outside of the classroom. She is constantly engaged

With only one month left until the prestigious AP Calculus exam, I sat at my wooden desk, diligently memorizing and practicing endless problems in preparation; my dim lamp casting a small portion of light across my notebook. My body was at a constant struggle, my eyes were intermittently flickering from forcing myself awake, while my fuzzy slippers soothed my stress and allowed me to feel a bit more comfortable. I knew I had to receive a high score on this exam, as if it was a life or death situation. I was determined, motivated and dedicated to succeed no matter the circumstances. In short, I was ambitious.

Getting to walk down the stage to receive my diploma, surrounded by my magnificent peers. We’ve all worked so hard to get here. It’s been nothing short

As of now, I have not begun the official curriculum, but I am looking forward to topics that deal with Genetics and Molecular Biology.

It was delicious. It tasted like victory, sweet and savory. It made me realize that all the sweat and tears are worth it. Receiving that award made me happy with not giving up and dropping the course.

I am deserving of this award due to how I have faced the challenges in my life to continue and improve my education. Throughout my life I’ve made sacrifices that most of my peers would not do willingly. From childhood I knew that achieving the best grades and challenging myself in academics would allow me to pursue what I wanted later in life, and I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I have sacrificed uncountable amounts of hours that I could have spent with friends or doing other fun activities, to study for my classes. As an example, my mom’s side of the family has had many funerals in the recent past. I have chose to miss some of these funerals to stay in school. I do not do this because I don’t love my relatives. I miss the funerals because I know how important school is, and that my relatives would want me to succeed in getting a great education and achieving my goals. Making major sacrifices like this allowed me to keep a 4.0 G.P.A. throughout my educational career, and deepen my knowledge of world around me. Not only have I been able to make the sacrifices needed to keep myself ahead of game, but I’ve also managed to master my time management skills.
