I Believe In Looking To The Future

This year I would say was one of the toughest for me to go through. I went through a lot of challenges this year in 8th grade both academically and socially. A few of my academic challenges were passing classes, keeping up with all the work that was given to us, and turning in all the work that was given to us on time. Which was hard for me only because I like to take a long time to think through things and try to do thing the best of my ability. Not to mention, my social life is

The most challenging obstacle I faced was during middle school. Not only was I outcasted simply because my character did not fit into a whitewashed rich boy image.Most of my classmates would simply only think of themselves and how they can make themselves even more popular. During middle school I still hadn’t realized not fitting in would be fine. Not only did this incident brought me depression people simply didn’t care. Simply giving me punishments every time my grade fell. I would still tell myself to be happy that everything would be all right. But all it did was give me a fake mask to face reality.

Coming to college for me was absolutely terrifying. I am a very independent person so it was not all that difficult to leave behind my family and I knew that I would talk to them all the time. Coming to a state I have never been to before with no one I know nearby was definitely a huge challenge. I am a very social person I love people and enjoy socializing but I have had a group of the same close friends around me since kindergarten so it was really hard to leave them behind. Another challenge for me is learning what switching from a high school institution to a college institution truly is. Even though I’m very independent and honestly did pretty much whatever I wanted my senior year of high school, it is still the most

The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading. Reading is one of the most important things it was hard for me to say some words that I thought I was never gonna learn to read ever even if they were just small words or big words I struggle so much while growing up. When I was

The most difficult time of my life was when I had to leave my country after  having spent fourteen years living in India. As a kid growing up in India, the most significant event in my life was my grandparents deciding I would move to America right before I would start high school. Sadness fell on my face when my parents told me, as I never imagined going to America and leaving all of my friends. There are decisions that can unexpectedly change your life. Mine was coming to a new country and adapting to a foreign environment. After learning how to get through the last four years, I already have experienced a major life change, almost how it will be in college, being separated from friends and having to make new ones.

More recently change has been hard because my closest friends are about graduate. I have known most of them since the fifth grade and It is extremely hard to see them go onto a new beginning when I know I won’t be there with them. I guess I am scared that they will forget about me, and that is alright, because

Everyone goes through a challenge at some point in their life. I went through a challenge last year at the beginning of my freshman year attending Foothills Christian High School. Last year, my freshman year I did not know anybody starting the school year. This made me super nervous to start high school. I was also concerned about the three days a week at school and two days homeschool. One of my challenges was going to school and parts of that challenge was not knowing anybody starting school, having to go to school on three days a week instead of five, and not knowing the campus well.

My biggest obstacle was August 1, 2005 when our apartment building caught fire. My Mother, Brother, Sister, and I were home, it was the most distressing thing I've ever had to encounter. The night of my Aunt's birthday a fire started and the smoke made me feel as if I was drowning. My cousin Kendrick Weber woke me up, because I wasn't waking up when my sister tried. He pulled me out through the window and my forehead

The first challenge I faced was fitting in socially. I frequently experienced being ignored and laughed at. These days were tough and I could only tell myself that things would get

The most significant challenge I have had was when I first started school I didn’t speak English well; when I started school communication was difficult with my teacher and my peers. The year following that I was enrolled in speech classes to practice pronunciation and learn vocabulary. During the time I spent in those classes , I felt left out of the rest of the class. I would go to Speech everyday and when Friday came around every week my first grade class had Fun Friday . When Fun Friday would begin at the end of every Friday I was sent away to Speech. This affected my academic achievement by making me work twice as hard as peers in and outside of class.

The main challenges that I faced was when my parents went out to eat I couldn't go with them cause I couldn't eat any of the food and all of the junk food and stuff I was allergic to was at school so at lunch time I had to sit at a table by myself in front of the entire cafeteria because of my food allergies. I finally overcame

This is what I believe in even if people may not think the same on it. I believe in hope. The only thing you really need to believe in is hope because when you have hope for something then you can do anything you want. Hope Isn’t something you can pick up and drop. Hope is where you believe in yourself and have the confidence in telling yourself to do the right thing or you have a really good feeling that you can do something big or that you will succeed in life.

My hardest barrier by far was when my papa died. He was my mom's dad. He passed in 2013. My whole family was devastated, is still devastated. In 2011 we moved to Bakersfield Missouri, where we live now, from Louisiana Missouri. My papa and mama still lived there in Louisiana. That's 5 to 6 hours away from where we live. We used to live right across the yard from him. We were very close to him.

The most significant challenge I’ve faced was frequent moves. Having to pack up and leave everything behind was one of the worst experiences I ever had to go through. As a child, I was always shy and struggled to make new friends. Whenever we moved, it would be difficult to make even four or five friends. It became difficult to make new friends after those few, partly due to my own shyness and partly due to the cliques that had already formed. However, over the years and multiple moves, I slowly began to loosen up and become less shy. I was able to start to reach out more and be less shy as the new kid. Over time, my fear of moving and losing all my hard-earned friends stopped becoming as terrifying to me. In my most recent move, I moved from

The most significant challenge I have faced was balancing my academics and sports. I have been involved in the boy's soccer program at Palm Desert High School since my freshman year and each season has proven to be a test for me academically. I must say that attempting to balance my school work and soccer during my freshman and sophomore year has taken a toll on my academic achievement. It is unfortunate, however, I learned many things that will benefit me in the future. It was difficult because stress and anxiety amounted on top of all the school work and assignments that needed to be completed with the little time I had in my hands. Each season lasted around four months and during those four months, I accumulated bad habits. I procrastinated
