John Hays Hammond Character Analysis

Now, here I am, a junior at Mineola High School, and I feel ready for whatever will come after high school. As I try to figure out what I want to do with my future, I now know how much I love travelling and people and hope my career includes that. Moving helped me see my flaws and strengths. It helped me recognize that I am sometimes too diffident and circumspect. While in Mineola, I managed to ameliorate my social skills enough to be voted by my classmates as “Class Favorite” and have also joined activities I normally would have been too shy to take part

For my twelve service hours, I decided to dedicate my time to one organization. That organization is known as College Mentors for Kids. College Mentors for Kids is a program specifically designed for elementary and college aged students. It is a nonprofit organization that works with over 2,000 students and mentors one day a week on a college campus. This program can be found throughout nine states and on 33 different college campuses. I am fortunate enough to be attending Ball State University, which is home to the largest chapter in the country for the program. The program’s main focus is to acknowledge the importance of higher education and career growth as you get older. There are a variety of ways the members of this organization accomplish

How do you demonstrate success in your life? Well if you are wondering, my success occurs in many forms and has many meanings. It includes being happy with myself and being where I want to be in life. My success also typically means finishing something that I have worked hard at. Right now, I feel great for the accomplishment of my academic success in this Summer Term-A 2016 at Miami Dade College. Where I am excelled my previous performances, such as better tests grade, engage in classroom activities, and articulate myself in public. Moreover, my academic success ranges from getting an A on a test or paper to learn from my professors, my fellow peers, and my failures. The leadings factors that result my success in this term at Miami Dade College are time management, study skills, and personal factors.

Growing up in all of the American Southwest I believe that I’ve been able to learn how to adapt to new situations whether it's a new environment or something completely different. The place I once called home that shaped me the most would probably be Gilbert, Arizona where there’s desert for miles and scorching temperatures greater than 110 degrees. I lived in a 3 bedroom apartment with my mother and two brothers. The community was very nice the complex had a gym, swimming pool, and game room. A lot of kids my age and younger lived there as well which gave me a chance to make new friends, but I didn't. I didn't plan on moving to Arizona nor did i want to so once I moved to a new school, which was only 7 minutes away from my house down a long straightaway, I didn't really take the opportunity to make new friends I mainly kept to myself and the few friends I decided to have. This tough me to not only keep the people I care about close to me but also not to be so public with my life. When I lived in El Paso I was a popular kid and my business was everywhere which really brought on a lot of problems. In Arizona I lived in peace I literally never sealed with drama once. Now that I'm Living in El Paso again in using what I learned in

I was used to fitting in and making friends fast. Growing up as a military child, I had seen many faces and moved plenty of times. I was in the fifth grade when my dad told my family and I got the news that we were going to Alaska. Everyone in my home had different emotions, but I was actually pretty excited to see a new part of the world. We packed up our stuff and all drove to Fort Wainwright, Alaska. It was a huge difference from Colorado but I liked it. Alaska was great until it came to going to school.

I was born in raised in Los Angeles and moved to San Antonio when i was 12. For a better living with my family.I moved to San Antonio in 2011 but i was very excited to try new things and make more freinds.It was over a month when i moved to San Antonio and i started to miss california so much.but that didn't stop me from trying new things.Since i live a in a community my neighbors are right next door from me,and since we lived next door from each other we would help out each other. I started to get just to the new environment that i was living in and i started to like it a lot because it was calm and i started to like my middle school and the fact that was making a lot of friends. My family taught me to always try new things and not be

As a result, I have at least lived in six different “homes” and transferred to four different schools. It was hard to leave everything behind. All that I accomplished, the relationships I built and everyone I knew and cared about, gone. I have to start all over again from scratch, building and constructing relationships with friends and family. Then when I start to get situated, the process repeats itself again and again. Even though it was thought at first I have grown acclimated to it. As a result of this experience, I believe that I became a more independent and socially adept

For the first 16 years of my life I lived in a small town in Wisconsin. I’ve gone to the same school district until high school. My parents and I then decided it was time to make a change. The mountains are a big part of my life, I am snowboarder, so overall we decided to move to Washington state.

I've learned and realized a key fact; there's more out there to know and experience than what I was always use to. Changes will always happen; it can either be good or bad; you can either learn from it or earn from it. I've lived in Guyana, South America with my family up until I was nineteen years old, then I moved to Miami, Florida with my eldest sister for college. Moving from one county to another was a significant change for me and if affected every aspect of my life. As I got acquainted with my new home and surroundings in Miami, I found myself reminiscing and comparing how differently I've lived in two countries in terms of; dependency and responsibility, characteristics of school, and freedom from dull routines.

At the beginning of my 8th grade school year, I wasn't ready for change. I had lived in Crystal Lake, Illinois my whole life until l that point. I was forced to drop everything that I had held dear in that town and I moved to Highland Park, Illinois. I was frightened by the transition and this is most demonstrated in my first day at my new school. As we rolled up to the sidewalk and my

To some, moving can be seen as an unfortunate obstacle in life. To me, it is a familiar part of my life that has shaped me into a very sociable and accepting individual who can handle differences and change. I believe in the saying “home is where the heart is” and find it to be one hundred percent true. I have concluded that one does not necessarily need a hometown to make memories or feel loved, that is where the support of a good group of friends and family is invaluable. With a strong support system, anything is achievable. I am fortunate to have that support system through the love of my parents, my sister, and my friends. As I travel through life I continue to gain respect for relationships, the knowledge of others, and life beyond one town or one city. I am immensely excited about what the future holds and I am forever grateful for those that I have met and will meet along the

Every student wants to be successful, but they will not become successful overnight. Success is when someone accomplishes a goal, but not just any goal, a goal that will bring bigger and greater successes. Being successful isn’t a one time thing, once someone has reached success, it should be ongoing. With that in mind, there is key changes students should make in themselves to increase their success. Although some may not agree or feel this will make a student more successful, it is important to retrieve ideas and other opinions because it will help expand their mindset. It begins with being humble. The student must understand that no matter if they are low, middle, or high class, success will remain in the picture. The student should also

A non-academic pursuit that best illustrates who I am as a person and that I am very passionate about is my work at Behavior Respite in Action (BRIA). At BRIA, I work with special needs children specifically those with autism. I help them learn basic everyday tasks such as how to wash dishes and completing homework in addition to helping them manage minor behavior difficulties. Working with each child at BRIA, I gain tremendous insight into the behaviors and lives of children with special needs.

(Jimerson, S. R., & Haddock, A. D., 2015, p. 490). Success is defined as the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one's goals. Set goals that relate to the high priorities in your life. Without this type of focus, you can end up with far too many goals, leaving you too little time to devote to each one. Goal achievement requires commitment, so to maximize the likelihood of success, you need to feel a sense of urgency and have an "I must do this" attitude. When you don't have this, you risk putting off what you need to do to make the goal a reality. This in turn leaves you feeling disappointed and frustrated with yourself, both of which are de-motivating. And you can end up in a very destructive "I can't do anything or be successful at anything" frame of mind. Accept personal responsibility for their college experience by knowing how they learn and how their learning preference affects their interactions with teachers. Actively listening, manage time effectively, take effective notes, and prepare well for examinations, present clear, well-organized written and oral reports. Assuring one?s success requires setting goals and develops strategies to achieve those goals. Develop competencies for dealing with issues of cultural diversity and how "culture" impacts their college career. Identify resources that are available on campus and in the community that can assist with problems related to academics, health, social life, financial aid, and other issues. You define your success not others. Understanding, academically the tools and steps available aides in successfully completing student

Have you ever wondered what it is like to leave friends you've known since almost birth? Or what it is like to be placed into a completely unknown area? Well to me it's like an adaptation in animals, how they must change just to fit their environment. This ¨adaptation¨ happened to me at the age of 14 in the beautiful city of Atlanta, Georgia. It was just like any other day school, friends, etc. Except one thing, I was moving.
