Dear Mayor's Youth Showcase Of Failure

In addition to tutoring and mentoring the children in the community, Jacelyn also holds the position as Volunteer and Outreach Coordination, requiring her recruit, organize, and oversee student volunteers in the project. In addition, due to financial constraints in her family, Jacelyn also has an off-campus job that requires her to work many late nights and weekends. This ability to manage two jobs, a research assistant position, and consistent participation in community service while maintaining her exceptional GPA at an academically rigorous institution like UCLA demonstrates her admirable character, work ethic, and time management, valuable skills found in few students.

I am capable of being in honors because of my grades. This two quarters my English grade has been 95, which not only shows my ability of keeping up with work and doing and excellent job on it, but also my desire and willingness for learning more each day. I know that

Throughout Middle School and High School, I have won multiple Academic Honors and was able to partake in a Leadership Group/Camp. In Middle School, I was Honored as the best student in Reading, won many A-Honor Rolls, a few A/B-Honor rolls, and multiple Perfect Attendance Awards. In 8th grade, I was chosen along with many other students to help mentor the 6th graders moving up to the middle school and from there on I became part of a group called “Michigan Middle Leadership Initiative (MMLI)”, where only 10 students were selected to join. Currently, I have maintained a GPA of 3.89 or higher and I’m taking an Advanced Placement course for Environmental Science. Overall, I have a good attendance record and have never been tardy for class before. At the most, I’ll miss about 2 days of school in a trimester if I become ill.

My academic drive and diligence as a student are manifested in my scholastic achievements. I was presented with the Most Outstanding Student Achievement Award when I graduated 8th grade from Mountain Home School. I currently have a grade point average of 4.0, which has been sustained throughout my years of high school thus far. Last year, as a sophomore, I received three Academic Achievement Awards for Religion, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. I also took three senior classes, and I was on the Principal’s List for every quarter. This year, I am taking two dual-credit classes and excelling in both. I believe that the main reasons I am a straight-A student are because I am self-disciplined, I have a strong work ethic, and I strive for academic excellence. Mediocrity is never an option for me.

In the past couple of years, I have paid close attention to Treniya’s school activities, as well as, her outside activities. Her academic record includes GPA of 4.3; participation in several Honors/AP Classes; Senior Class President; Varsity Cheerleading Captain and National Honor Society. What interest me was her involvement in social activities such as her involvement in

At this point in my high school career, I have a grade point average of 3.6 out 4.0. Not only my grade point average, but my extra curricular activities as well. I have been a member of the National Honor Society since my sophomore year and have participated in various community service events for my school. I was also a varsity starter for the Lady Wolverine’s soccer team. I persevered the first two years of soccer while being on JV, however, my coach noticed my hard work, improvement, and commitment which resulted in a spot on varsity for me.

I am Amber Bradshaw, daughter to wonderful parents, younger sister to the bane of my existence, and current student at Rome High School. At Rome High School, I am an active student. I have maintained a 4.0, become 5th out of a class size of approximately 330, and have taken many rigorous courses, including APs such as AP Physics 1, AP Statistics, AP US History, AP Language and Composition, among several others. For that, I have been awarded the status of an AP Scholar with Distinction.

Paul’s stellar intelligence, determination and academic performance are a testament to what he is more than capable of accomplishing. And while taking honors and advanced placements classes at Forest Hills High School

Amy Batagower is entering the University of Delaware this coming fall. She comes from an Israeli family with two older brothers. Amy is very involved in her school academics, as well as in the jewish community. She recently just graduated with high honor roll with a GPA of 4.0. Amys’ drive and dedication to fulfill the goals she sets are extremely prevalent. Her drive to get things done is exemplary. Her work in Judaic studies was astonishing, she went from not knowing any hebrew to reading and writing it. Amy is very loving and caring young lady. She will literally drop everything she is doing to help a friend in need. Amy’s neshama is truly something special. Her sense of ahavas yisroel is astounding.

Throughout my schooling, I have worked to great lengths to maintain a GPA that exceeds 3.75 and qualifies me for the National Honors Society. My performance in school is my priority

First of all, I would like to thank you for taking me into consideration as a nominee for the National Honor Society of Coolidge High School

The Anna Dale Dalton Competitive Scholarship Award on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated would invigorate my determination to change the community around me. I always strive to serve my community in four tiers. The first tier, Scott County High School, is the most immediate to me. In the past year I have established a library of resources solely dedicated to Advanced Placement, SAT, and ACT review materials that any student has access to. I have done this because Scott County High School has the largest Advanced Placement Program in the state of Kentucky, one that I have helped nurture for the past three years through my position as President of Advanced Placement Advisory Council. When the school board refused to allow the

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.

Lesly does not do well with standardize test she describes herself as a “horrible test taker”. She did some practice test and also study during her AVID class. However, time and anxiety had a negative impact and did not score well. She obtained a “D” freshman year in math because she was a rebel and did not care for grades. She also had a “D” in Psychology junior year because she originally thought this would be her major in college and then later realize that she wanted to do photography and therefore, was not interested and did not pay attention. She has learn from her mistake and know that college is not an option is a priority. Lesly also wants to follow in her brother footstep who is a current junior here.
