I Am A Traditional Chinese Girl

I believe that Northwest Catholic High School will be beneficial to me. I will develop interpersonal skills, emotional resilience, and have diverse experiences. I feel that these skills will pave the way to my goal of attending UCONN, UCLA, or Walden University in Minnesota. I know that Northwest has teachers and staff who will help me boost my self-esteem and confidence levels. By attending NWC, I will achieve a keen and steadfast mindset, and grow in my future profession as a counselor. I am persuaded that I will reach absolute educational greatness at Northwest Catholic High

I remembered my teachers were describing my behavior as a shy girl, and I was a little bit sharing with my peers, if my teacher asked me to do something I do it right away, but I didn’t start any action by myself. I remembered when my teacher asked me to help him and my friends to arrange and decorate the classroom, I did it in a good way and nicely and I was helpful, and that encourage me to engagement with the environment and I felt that I was responsible about my class. When I was at 6th grad, my teacher asked us to help him in the schedule of the activities like the length and the sequencing of activities, and written some words or draw some pictures, I was happy and that let me independent and facilitate interaction with my peers and change my behavior to be brave and encourage

I have the same idea with Bobby Bones. Just like him, I’m not the smartest in my class, I come from a family with a lot of problems going on. I’m always the kid who puts in the most effort, but still end up with a crappy grade. After 6th grade, my mom decided to send me to the U.S. for better education, in which I knew that it will be so hard for me to complete my education in China. However, the first two years at Cardigan was a struggle, language barriers and culture differences made my Cardigan experience not only hard but stressful. Moreover, because I’m from the capital of China, I get bullied a lot by the kids from other parts of China. Therefore, I decided to study at WMA, to start a new page.

I came here to the United States from India in May 2011. When I got her my life change a lot, and it's been really different than India, like new people around me, a new language, a different lifestyle, It's been really new for me. I came here in may and summer vacation start, that summer I was visiting new places with my uncle's and aunt's that was a really good time I enjoy it a lot. Then, summer is over, I have to go school. I started middle school here. The first day my middle school was really bad; bad because I was too shy to speak with anyone, it's maybe why I didn't know the people and the language; it was really hard for me. The few day, I didn't even like it here. Especially when it is comes to speaking front in of school or with

Right before I graduated from high school, many letters and opportunities came to my door. I applied for many schools around the world. During that time, I was devastated to making my own decision. I was held captive by the idea of freshman students cannot keep up their academics records due to the change in environment, the place they choose to stay for their whole-4 years. I want to go to England but unfortunately, my family persuade me to go to America. So I decided to go to California. Stretching along the Pacific coast, the state is well-known as having cliff lined beaches. At first, I don’t think that one day I will get emotionally attach to this place. But the state has many wonderful places to go and

There were students from all around the world who had different cultures, religions, and hardships. I perceived that high school is a race, a race where I can run at my own pace and my goals are the prize. I entered an environment where the opportunities were endless and I was allowed to accomplish whatever I want. My confidence began to flourish. I started involving myself in school work and began to participate in class. During my sophomore year, I engaged in numerous group activities such as the school play, science competition team, and advanced arts. I earned respect and developed a reputable character in school. I reached a milestone in my journey during junior year when I was inducted into the National Honors Society, played varsity tennis and became class

When I first migrated to United States, everything was very new to me. I had no idea how things worked in this country. In India, things were very different from here. In the United States, I had trouble with my grades because I didn't understand much English, so the assignments were very difficult. I showed determination and perseverance throughout my years in middle school. I had to stay after school and get some extra help. I read numerous books to gain more interest in Language Arts. I eventually started making A's. Now, as a 8th grade I am presently making all A's.

Mr.Blumberg was a very charming and charismatic teacher. He was always able to grab my attention easily when he taught a lesson. Mr.Blumberg was also always there to listen and to impart wisdom. I was so excited when he recommended to me that I should go into a regular education for reading. The other teachers who were in charge of my I.E.P. did not agree with him. They thought I should stay in special education because it would be to fast pace for me. Despite that Mr.Blumberg still believed in me however. With Mr.Blumberg’s support I was able to believe in myself and I was able to progress further in my reading skills. I also enhanced my mathematical skills, and my language skills. I did not reading class for my ninth grade year. The score on my state test were so high I that I no longer required one. I also had met I.E.P goals so much so that I placed into both a regular Math and a regular English class. Thanks to Mr. Blumberg’s faith and my hard work I had done what I once thought was impossible. I went on to further my skills and I placed into a regular education history class, and regular education science class. I was also able to end every class that I took with an A. At the time Mr.Blumberg when Mr.Blumberg helped I wanted to be like

Most of people involved into a crisis at least once in their life. It is always hard to simply overcome and resolve the crisis, but once we get over it, the experience will melt into our blood and become a part of ourselves. Two years ago, I have been involved into a crisis and had a really hard time during that period. I am a transfer student from China. I used to study Nursing in my Chinese university. Since there was a cooperative program between my Chinese university and Old Dominion University (ODU), students like me supposed to study two years in China and two years in ODU, then finally we will get two degrees from both universities. After I completed two years’ studies in China, I went to ODU in order to continue my degree.

My family and I resettled in the U.S when I was 16. Although the migration to U.S ended my childhood memories, it was an opportunity for me to shine and develop the potentials, credibility and expertise to succeed in life. My past life has always been an inspiration to me to excel in any discipline so that, I can surpass the generational dogma and extreme vulnerability my family has experienced back in Vietnam. I am among the first generation in my family to attend university. As a student from an immigrant family with limited education and awareness, things were extremely hard for me at the beginning however, as time passed by, everything started to fall into place and I am enjoying my junior year at college pleasantly so to speak.

My senior reflection on Sam Houston High School. After high school, I plan to go to college and I plan to major in nursing. My band directors was my star educator. They help me to pass all my class and get a good grade. When I'm was in Thailand, my rank was always the last one or the second to the last one. Now my rank was 26, that why they are my star educator because they there to support me when I have low grade and help me to keep my grade up. If they don’t help me I will not be in the rank 26. I thank you my family for help me not to fall apart and to get through school. They help me to focus on my education. They don’t let me get a job while I still go to school because if I got a job I will not do my study and I might be working late

This is the year when I want to achieve is to get a good grade on all my classes, so that I can get a good college, also if I have a good college, then I can get a good job at the future. If I have a very good grade, my mom led me go to Korea, and get a lot of stuff for me, also If I have a good grade then I can go to UCLA,USC, and other college, I wish I can get into the first college in the world, and tell my family that i make my goal, and I’m so proud of myself. If something I don’t understand something, I’ll ask my English Teacher Ms. Chen, she is a very nice and kind teacher, she not like the teachers outside of school, she won’t be mean to if you doing what you are suppose to do in class, but if you didn’t follow direction, then that

For me, there is a clear, bright line between two stages of my life, which is the period from September, 2013 to August, 2014. Before that, I have no idea about my future, the only thing I know is learning. Because of the large population in China, students are under a huge competitive pressure, especially the high school students. In order to go to my dream college, I used every seconds to study and slept only 5 hours every day. I worked hard every day and did well in every field, taking part in various competitions between Math and Chemistry, between English and Physics. I thought this time could always last forever; however, health was gradually far from me.

I was born during the Dragon boat festival in the year of dragon, and I am believed to be the soaring dragon of the family. Although I am keenly aware that I have neither the heroic aura nor the gorgeous dragon scale of such legendary creature, I am always the eager beaver trying to live up with pride and expectation. When I was seven, I bid a farewell to my hometown in Taiwan and my family moved to mainland in China. All of the sudden I was overwhelmed by the stress I felt pressed on my shoulders. There was the competition to get into a local school with five thousand kids in the most competitive province in China, starting simplified Chinese from zero, and attempting to build friendships. For most of this time when frustration knocked me down, grandma's words of wisdom haunted me. I pulled up my "dragon tail" and I bestirred myself for another shot. Step by step, I managed to catch up, and even started to exceed. While certificates of merit splashed all over the wall, I served as class leader for 8 years. In 2015, I consummated my ninth grade year by ranking fifteenth out of forty three thousand eight hundred and twenty seven on the high school entrance examination. I was admitted to an elite high school where I went to school from 6:50 AM to 10:10 PM, seven days a week. Trekking in the raging torrent of life, I strived for the fulfillment of aspiration. Yet, deep in my mind, a wistful longing for an adventure has silently taken over my vigorous pursuit of scholastic attainment.
