High School Is Not A Or Greater, Much Of The Reason For It?

Each and every school presents itself with new opportunities for their students; UHS presents some of the best opportunities in the country for music students such as myself. UHS provides their students with one of the best music programs available in California. This is one of the many reasons I long to attend UHS. As a violinist I want the best way to improve, along with honing my skills and University High School is the best place to do so. In addition the small classroom, as well as the low school population sparks my interest. I believe that the enclosed environment will provide enhanced collaboration between the professor, and student. This connection between mentor and pupil is critical to victory in high school, and large schools with

Furthermore, one of my most challenging experiences was maintaining a 3.0+ GPA in school while attending Oakland Community College in the Dual Enrollment Program. It was a tough situation to be in, due to the excessive amount of work I had to do for both high school and college. Every week I had to complete a chapter of my book, which consisted of long sections using words that I have never even heard of in my life, the prolonged chapters were followed by a required one to two-page essay that was due the next week or else it was considered late. Now keep in mind that these essays were a huge part of my overall grade, so I am embarrassed to say that out of the ten chapters, about four or five of them were late, but the reason for that is because

Major changes in my life have affected my high school career, but a large impact came from the death of my father in eighth grade. Before his passing, I was an average A/B student in middle school and even elementary school, which quickly changed in 8th grade when my classes became too hard for me to handle. I decided the best thing for my mental health was to drop out of my higher level classes. This lead to being in standard classes throughout my first year of high school with minimal effort from my part. After constantly missing school, I failed my second quarter. Instead of bouncing back from this, it pushed me down, making me believe I would never be able to recover. Without any motivation, I ended my ninth grade year with a grade point average of 1.4.

My freshman and sophomore years of high school my grades did not represent my abilities due to a lot of health issues resulting from 3 different concussions. I spent quite a lot of time unable to go to school and falling behind due to not feeling well from the concussions as well as going to doctor appointments and being in the hospital. At this time it was hard for me to retain information and pay attention due to chronic migraines resulting from the concussions as well as a lack of sleep due to insomnia I had developed as a side effect from the concussions. All of this made my grades not as great as they should have been my first two years of high school and this does not reflect myself as a student. As my junior year began I was able to

I decided that I was going to go to Craven Community College and work on finishing the classes I needed to get my high school diploma. Unfortunately, that did not happen either. When I was seventeen, my mother unexpectedly passed away. My mother was my best friend and it was a huge loss to me and the rest of my family. I went through a period of grieving which lasted for almost a year. The subject of school was brought up again and I decided to get my GED from Craven. The fall after I received my GED, I started my first semester. I had to deal with anxiety and this feeling I had that I was a failure. I had to remind myself that I suffered in school because of my mental illness, not because I was stupid. I have recently started my third semester at Craven and I have a 4.0 GPA. I still have to deal with anxiety, mood swings, and stepping up as a mother figure to my little sister, but I have never let any of this bring me down. I have not given up and I never will. I use my past experiences as a way of reminding myself have far I have come, and that I am strong enough to take on anything I want to do in the future. That is why I feel like I would be a good candidate for

I dropped out of high school in February of 2005. I was newly 17, and although I had never been an exceptional student, I had never planned on dropping out either. At the time, I had been placed in out-patient hospitalization. It was decided by my doctors, and parents, that this was the best course of action. They believed the stress of finishing school would interfere with my recovery. In truth, school had nothing to do with my illness. I was living with my parents in a violent and unhappy home. Being an empathetic person, I took everything around me in, and was not able to cope with my situation. I had a severe eating disorder, and was hospitalized after my second suicide attempt. After finishing my treatment I started attending G.E.D. prep courses and began working for at the South Salem Applebee’s as a hostess.

Over the past three years I have managed to maintain a solid 3.46 grade point average (GPA) over the past 6 semesters, not including two summer semesters as well. I kept this GPA while working, at some points, 2 jobs and while taking classes and working full time every summer. I’ve worked hard to maintain this GPA while putting myself through school because I want to be not only the first person in my family to earn a Bachelor’s degree, but also the first person in my family to earn a Master’s.

As a child, I always wanted to be a veterinarian, so I veered my path towards veterinary medicine. Till the end of high school, I was doing well with my grades and with my life. However, during the end of my high school, I got into with the wrong crowd and became addicted to cigarettes. Furthermore, in the beginning of college years at UCSD, I had a hard time adjusting to the school due to some health issues I was dealing with.

As a young child the only school I ever wanted to attend for college was CSU. And when I was accepted into CSU I was ecstatic to attend, especially since I was the first person in my entire family to go to college. As soon as I had reached CSU I decided to try CS as a possible major due to my love for technology and thought programming would be a great step towards a career I wanted to pursue. But unfortunately my grades and GPA had fallen last year and this semester.The reason for my GPA’s drop below a 2.0 was my financial situation with and in school, choosing too many credits for school and working three jobs to pay for school and my apartment.

In high school, my grade point average stayed at a 3.8 up until graduation where it jumped up to a 4.02 due to the college courses I had taken. My GPA gave me the opportunity to be a part of Anchor Club in high school. Anchor Club is a group of students with a 3.5 GPA or above. The requirements to stay in Anchor club not only included maintaining a high GPA, but also turning in eight to ten hours of community service a month. With my GPA being a 4.02, I had the choice of graduating with Special Distinctions or Honors. I choose Honors because it was the one to be prouder of out of the two options. Within my two years at a Community College, I have been able to maintain a 3.5 GPA. I was a member of Phi Thetta Kappa. Being a member opened the opportunity to be a

I have had a few life circumstances that have affected my GPA that is not on my record. When I first started school, I was too immature. I had gotten through high school without studying, and figured I was going to do the same as before. Not understand how important college was to the rest of your life put me in a great hole. I simply took college for granted. After my suspension, I grew up and realized I need to be as serious as I can be. Wanting to be in healthcare, there is no room for selfishness. The first few semesters back from suspension I was working to get into nursing school. I decided not at the last minute. It just did not feel like a good fit for me, and I switched to working towards a general biology degree while

I was not able to achieve a 2.5 GPA because money was the problem. I been worrying about it since college started. I didn’t want to take loans, but loans were the best option for me. Paying loans made worry because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pay it back. I felt bad that my parents were helping pay for my college, and I constantly look for scholarships that can help me pay for college. I been to stress out about paying for college, it didn’t make realize that I should work hard in college. In addition, the transition from high school to college was a big transition from me. First term of college was one of the hardest term for me. I took college too lightly and slacked off. I did not study as much as I should and did not go to the library to study. Instead I went out to hang out with friends and played games. I

This is all thanks to my mom. She’s always been my support, she’s believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She made sure I never gave up because you see, the thing is, I struggle from severe depression. My resume maybe long and impressive and this, that, and the other thing, but it didn’t matter. Not getting into NYU and spending a year studying in and breathing in the culture of Paris, I couldn’t get out of my rut. All this great things were happening to me but the stress of paying for tuition and the guilt of going to an expensive school began to weigh so heavily on me that I had to stop. I transferred schools hoping for a new start, but the same issues persisted. I had trouble paying for school, worked long hours outside of school with my paychecks being filtered to the school’s bursar. So I stopped again. I felt like a failure, I had no direction, I didn’t know what to do next. It was the first time in my life when I didn’t have a plan and a bullet point list of what I wanted to accomplish. But the experience that came from taking the time off from school has been

From my first semester in college (Fall 2015) to the end of my second year (Spring 2017), I consistently kept a 3.0 GPA. Each semester it dropped, but many different circumstances came to cause that. Firstly, I have suffered numerous incidents in regards to my health. I unfortunately have a record of constant hospital visits, several scheduled checkups, and even surgeries throughout the span of 2017. I had appointments with opthamologists, oral surgeons, and psychiatrists, and have been continuing to go to them as well. Some of these appointments conflicted with school and therefore

My grades sophomore year were not as good as I would have liked. I was sick during this time and had to take a lot off from school. I had lots of pressure in my brain, and in trying to diagnose the problem I originated a stutter and had to relearn how to use my leg due to the anesthesia that was used to take a spine puncture in which my nerve was pinched. I had to work hard before the end of the semester after I came back to ensure I didn’t fail. During my junior year, I was doing better, and I was not only able to accomplish a lot in school, but also raise my GPA.
