I am very happy for writing you this letter and I will do my best to be as informative as I can. As

My academic achievements are proof of my hard work, dedication and exemplary character. By having a G.P.A of 3.89 and 4.0 in 6th and 7th grade, respectively,

Family is supposed to listen to you when you're in need. Family is supposed to have your back. Family is supposed to be loyal. Family is supposed to be dependable. Family is supposed to accept you at your worst and best moments. Family is supposed to make you laugh and smile. Family is the number one unconditional love that everyone has. Whether it be the unconditional love from immediate family members or close friends, everyone has that one person they go to in times of need. It’s funny how those closest to you can hurt you the most.

My family is one of a kind. They support me all the time. My dad comes home each day after doing an eight hour shift and manages all the bill payments. My mom cooks, cleans, goes to job, helps me and my brother with homework, and drops/ picks us up from classes every single day. Last but not least, my brother is always there for me. He shares everything with me, even his favorite chocolates. And he is the one that teaches me the forms that I didn’t get in the karate class. Even though we fight a lot, I couldn’t have asked for a better brother than him. I love my family very much and they will always be dear to

School is an extremely important part of anyone’s life, and I have the opportunity to attend New Prague High School. Here I have been able to strive academically. Over the years I have tried my best to get good grades, on both my tests and report cards. I have taken my education very seriously. I do this by getting all my work done on time and having good grades and maintaining my GPA. Over the years of attending high school and trying to improve my education, I have received a few academic awards. One award that I have received was student of the month for math.

I’m involved in many activities at school including orchestra, choir, show choir, and athletics. These all prove me to be hard working and committed to making myself the best person I can possibly be. In sixth grade I was involved in Klein Academic Competition for the writing portion, and this year I will be taking the Duke University ACT test for all subjects.

Please sit down and relax for a moment, and ask yourself the question of all questions: What is most important to you in life? This is a question asked by many psychologists, surveyors and even employers. A common answer is “I just want to be happy and successful and follow my dreams.” But think about it– who really makes you happy? Who helps you become successful? Who inspires you to follow your dreams? To this people generally answer: Family. Now imagine what it would be like to have your family taken from you in the spur of a moment.

Last year, I received a commendable G.P.A of 4.4. This proves that I not only take difficult courses like Honors and Ap classes, but also contribute great amount of hard work and dedication to overcome those challenges and succeed. Other than my transcript, I received man recognition for my academic achievements. I attended many Honor Rolls and received Academic Letter Award every year. In addition, I also participated in competitions, like Junior Math Leagues, Science Fair, and NHD(National History Day), to test my knowledge in academics. I competed in the Science Fair and won first place in school division. In NHD, I have received first place in school, district, and state competition. By participating in these competition, it motivates me to strive higher. Lastly, I am a member of NAHS(National Art Honor Society), NSHS(National Spanish Honor Society), NMHS(National Math Honor Society), and Tri M Music Honor Society. This demonstrates my high interest and excellence in all four subjects: Art, Spanish, Math, and

I believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.

I also believe that I can contribute to National Honor Society in a variety of unique ways. Since pre-school I have been recognized as a leader in my classrooms. Teachers continually

A personal pride of mine is my ability to excel at new things. I am an avid musician and play the ukulele and the piano, as well as the double bass for the Grand Haven Orchestra program. Along with music, I also enjoy sports. I have tried multiple sports such as swim, track, basketball, soccer, and football, and have done well with them, quickly adapting to each new sport. As of now, I am learning boxing out of Saint Mary’s Gym and a water polo player on G.H.H.S.'s team. I enjoy music and sports very much due to the constant challenge to improve myself. An additional activity I enjoy is Boy Scouts. Currently, I am working on my Eagle Scout rank, after 4 years of work in the program. I have also been elected to be the senior scout leader, and have held the responsibility of leading 30 scouts for one and a half years. I enjoy the community service in the program and have clocked over 14 hours of service time, doing things such as soup kitchens and Humane Society work. I find the time spent there not only worthwhile but a reminder, that giving back is important. Another interest of mine is traveling. I was a foreign exchange student in Germany for 3 weeks last summer. During this time, I learned about different cultures, and how to identify with people of very different backgrounds. While my activities out of school vary, I try to keep them with one goal; I want to

I have played piano for the past ten years and have gotten the top award at many piano competitions including Superior Plus (highest ranking) at the National Piano Playing Auditions Guild, Superior Plus (highest ranking) in the Achievement Awards Adjudication competition (AAA), and Superior (highest ranking) at the Dorothy Sutton Performance Festival. I am currently working toward my International Diploma in the Piano Playing Auditions Guild in May 2017.

I am a high honor student, have received a few academic awards, and did well on my PSAT. I am not trying to brag, just stating my résumé, and trying to show how hard work can pay off.

The most recent of awards was in sixth grade. I received the a-b honor roll for

When I am at best, I help people. I motivate myself and feel motivated when I get to help others. Whether it’s a stranger, colleague, friends, or family, I feel my passion in assisting those in need. As long as it’s within my capability and moral belief that what people ask for help is ethical and legal, I give them my attention and time. I feel happy that I am able to give a hand, and I feel happy to see people become happy with the help I give them. Helping others put smiles on my face and also on them as well. I feel proud of myself that I have the power to help the
