Gpa Strengths

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.

While in high school I plan to maintain a 3.5 GPA or greater while staying involved and prospering in the sports and activities I practice. In the winter I plan to go to State in Knowledge bowl and go to State and possibly the National DECA tournament as well. The success in these activities will lead colleges and companies to be more attracted to me so I can later get jobs easier and get scholarships to reduce college debt later. While in high school I am also planning to establish a free speech organization to promote overall knowledge and understanding of others while

And don’t even get me started on this basketball season, that was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. This school and community just feels like a big family. I feel like I’ve made the most out of my high school career, and knowing that I was able to do that, I’m inspired to get the same enjoyment out of the rest of my life. I wasn’t always this anxious for my future though. In fact, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to go to college a few years ago when my dad lost his

Through my experiences, especially in basketball and my classwork, I have been able to be exposed to new things and apply my skills elsewhere in my life. In both sports and school, I have had to work with different people with different mindsets, but have come together as a cohesive team. Even if the team struggled, I still pushed through and did what was necessary for our success. Despite being discouraged at times by failure, I came right back and moved on to the next challenge. High School has helped me develop into a leader; I work towards a goal and help others that are in for the

I had thought that high school would be no different than the past. Work hard, pay attention in class, and meet standards for every teacher. I was wrong. My teachers were supportive and only held the most basic of standards for all their students. They worked hard to provide us with assistance to succeed in class and be caught up in lessons. By the first grading cycle, I had exceeded all previous expectations my family had of me. I was both joyous and sad though. Now that I had reached the only goal I ever cared for, I was unsure of what to focus on next. This led me to ask my peers for advice and I realized that most of them also did not know what they wanted in the future. Thusly, after thinking and conferencing with others, I began thinking for myself what I wanted for my future. I was still being held at a high standard by family and friends, however I now had time for myself. I was free to decide what kind of future I wanted. Though afraid as I was of my unknown future, I was

There’s one decision that I’ve made that I’m still carrying out; meaning, I’m still not certain whether it was a good one or not. My decision was to come to Squaw Valley Academy. I did not want to go to my local high school as the education system wasn’t the best a couple years ago. It still isn’t but occasionally I wonder if I made the right choice. By going through with this decision I have changed a great deal. I have been at this school for almost two years now, and I’m definitely not the same person that arrived here. Going back home I realized how different I was from my old friends, and how much more mature I had become.

About four years ago, I was just starting my first year of high school. During my previous tenure in middle school, I was basically an average student with multiple C’s and barely passing classes. So when I entered high school, I was not that enthusiastic about it and I continued the trend of not really caring about my grades in the 9th grade. As I became more aware of the opportunities I could get by receiving good grades, I began to actually care more about school and tried to get good grades. I began to do something that I never did before,

For this school year my goals academically are not only to keep a high gpa, but to also build fundamental relationships with the people in my classes. I plan on keeping a high gpa by not procrastinating and sticking to a schedule. However, to build those vital relationships I plan on pushing myself to make that connection and not be tempted to resort back to a comfort zone. During the spring semester I hope to get an on campus job,

In my years, here at Senior I have grown for the better in many ways. One of these ways is my strive to do good in school. I came into high school with the attitude of I’ll do my best and see how things go. After my freshman year, I had good grades, and that’s when I really realized how important and that it was possible to keep getting good grades. Then last year and this year I have really been pushing myself to get good grades and really put school first.

My first half of a year in high school has been a great experience. I have had fun this year and learned a lot. In this essay, I will be talking about me and answering three essential questions. These questions are “Who am I and what does success look like to me?”, “How am I connected to Greensburg Salem High School?”, and “How are my academic efforts and achievements helping me to be successful in the global community?”.

When it came to school work and tests in class I always performed quite well and never had any problems there. The story was different when I had to do work at home. I was never motivated, and I was lazy when it came time to start my homework. My grades suffered drastically because I put off my work until it was late, or I just never did it. For a while I even realized my problem and still couldn’t get myself to do my homework. The worst part about having bad grades at the time was that it made me ineligible for the sports that I loved. After I found that my

My goals for the remainder of my high school career is to maintain my GPA, but also get myself more involved socially and physically active.

-As middle school days came to an end there were many decisions that needed to be made. Those which included high school choices. In regards to my selection, I had picked Libra Academy as my first choice and Huntington Park High School as the last. By the time spring came, many of my peers were getting letters that determined what schools they were going to be attending for the next school year. I did face the reality when I received my notice and it stated that I was going to be attending Huntington Park High school the following year. As school started I was determined to keep on working hard and I did as I passed all my classes but as the following year arrived, I had chosen to transfer to Libra academy due to the lack of AP classes Huntington

I would like to explain why I have a weaker GPA in the first semester at college. Initially, I did not know the art of registering right courses as a freshman. While others registered most of fun elective courses, I took four rigorous business major required courses that consist of 5 presentations and 50 pages’ paper and 12 exams throughout the quarter. Specifically, my first business analytics course ended up with a C+, that was the average grade in the class. It is an extremely hard course and the professor chose not to curve our scores. More importantly, as an international student, I faced cultural challenges and language barriers that made achieving better grades even harder. Also, I rushed into a sorority during the first week of college,

Entering high-school was a bitter sweet feeling for me. I found myself coming upon new adventures, meeting new people and seeing new aspects in life. Quickly, I started to re-evaluate my life. I thought to myself that maybe I shouldn’t just limit myself to football, although at the time that’s all that I knew. Even with me growing I began to doubt my decisions but I didn’t
