My Career As A High School Student

After high school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for a career. After years of wandering I decided to join the military. I completed basic training and technical school in Texas. I was miles away from the comfort of family and friend back home in Maryland. This was the first time that I was truly on my own. After training was complete I was moved to Spokane, Washington. where I completed my term in Spokane and it was time to reenlist or get out the military. I was ready to have my life back so I decided against enlisting for another term. When it was time for me to discharge the first question everyone asked me was “where I going?”. In my mind I had two choices. I was either going stay in tiny Spokane or go back home to Maryland. I spent a few weeks thinking about my options and at that time I was certain home was the best choice. Moving back home made sense for several reasons:

Every high school student becomes anxious when waiting for that day to graduate but as graduation gets closer we become more worried on what we will do next and how we will pursue our career out there in the real world. Senior year is about applying to any colleges or universities that will judge you based on how you did throughout your high school years. In addition, the career i'm going to pursue when I graduate and leave high school is in the criminology and criminal justice studies. With a bachelor in criminology and criminal justice I have a variety of jobs I can pick out of. My first choice is to become a customs and border protection officer because I want to protect what enters the U.S. and to keep terrorist from entering. My second

On January 22, 2001, I was born at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. My family and I traveled around for about a year and a half of my life before settling down in Augusta, Georgia. We stayed in Georgia until I finished preschool, then we moved to Greensboro, North Carolina. The first several years living in Greensboro were typical until I reached middle school. In my early years of school, I was the kid who was always so sprightly but when I reached sixth grade that momentum shifted. I let procrastination bury me alive in addition to my low self-esteem leading me into sadness. The only form of serenity during middle school was music. Music rejuvenated my state of mind and permitted me to be happier. Immensely being involved in the choral program at the middle school majorly contributed to my happiness. I received high honors while being in the program that paved my high school choral career to be astounding. However, my academic high school career did not quite meet the same expectations.

As soon as students begin their high school careers, colleges are looking for who will meet the requirements set to be accepted into college. Tulsa Community College specifically requires current high school students to make a certain score on each section of the ACT so they may take college courses while still in high school. For that reason, I took the ACT for the first time just after my sophomore year, hoping to score high enough for concurrent enrollment. Being a concurrent student allows me to receive college credit so that I may have more time for sports or extracurricular activities when I am an actual college student. My main goal is to major in music then have a career in the music industry. The music industry is a difficult career

I’m Diana Cantu and a senior at Weslaco East High School. One of my mainintrest since I was little was watching crime scene investigations, and playing basketball. I don’t really play basketball anymore, but there's still some interest in it. I started showing more and more interest in these 3 things when I was in the middle school. I come from a big family in a small town, Weslaco, Tx. My family has been really involved in my in my education and Interests. Expectations are kept high for me because my parents want me to succeed in all I do. Graduating from high school, I hope to attend college and i will be the first in my family to do so. Growing up the way I did wasn’t easy, seeing my parents struggle was hard, but we still managed to make the best of each day.

If I were to look back at my high years, I would be embarrassed with myself. I did not put much effort in my past years of high school. My grades kicked in when I was in my junior year of high school. I am doing everything that is in my hands to be able to raise my GPA so I can get into the University that I want to go into. However, at this point, it is difficult to raise my GPA because I still have other classes to take to be able to graduate on time.

Being from a community in which not every girl is given the chance to study further and fulfill their dreams, it was really hard for me to make my way through the path of obstacles. Something that is essential to understand me is my way to perceive and look at things accordingly. Since my childhood, I have been perceiving things as I like to because one should attempt to do things as he/she likes to not how other people want him/her to. The outer beauty is meant for wooing others and it could be vanished easily but the inner beauty remains forever and makes a person an exception among others. Nobody is perfect and nor am I, so I always try to become an honest and a truthful person. If I have to say the most significant barrier that is stopping me from

During my high school career I was academically involved with organizations such as Future Farmers of America, Future Business Leaders of America, Students Against Destructive Decisions, and Robotics. I gained a position as Chapter Reporter with FFA my junior year and also played on Center High Schools varsity golf team for three consecutive years. One of my long term goals is to gain an Environmental Science degree here at Lamar University so I can educate the future population on how to lessen their carbon

Growing up in a household with a mother that did not finish high school and a father that did not finish elementary is not an ideal upbringing for any child. I grew up economically impoverished for the majority of my life, and my parents tell me they attribute this to the life choices they made in their youth when they came to this country. Today, I use these circumstances not to debilitate my confidence, but rather as motivation for me to strive for what I once imagined insurmountable.

During my High school career I was involved with multiple extracurriculars. I played volleyball for 3 years, my Freshman, Sophmore and Junior year. I played soccer for the last 3 years and will be my fourth this spring. I volunteer at my Church, St. Joesph Catholic Church and teach kindergardeners about faith for all my 3 years plus this year. I am a nane to 3 kids this past fall and summer. I play travel soccer this fall aswell. I am envoled in Key club and Arbor club.

As one approaches the middle of his high school career, it is good to acknowledge the progress he has made and the goals he should accomplish. Jesuit has established a description containing five points in which a graduate should have improved during his high school career. This description contains great goals to strive for during school and in the future. During my first three years at Jesuit, I have improved in two ways: becoming more open to growth and more committed to doing justice.

As a seventeen-year-old in high school, life is always interesting. My parents started homeschooling my older brother and me when we were in the second grade. We attended Evangel Family Christian Academy which is a school located in Montgomery, Alabama. We switched to a different cover school also located in Montgomery named Ezekiel Academy. When we decided to change schools, I was only in the seventh grade and my brother was a senior. I am still attending Ezekiel Academy and have started my junior year. I play baseball and basketball and have been blessed and fortunate to have my father coach me throughout my current high school career.

Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.

Throughout my years of high school, I have proven to be extremely hardworking. Since graduating eighth grade, I have worked endlessly to obtain money to support my schooling. My mother is a single mom, struggling to pay for my Catholic school education. I have continued to help to pay for some of the many expenses that come with my schooling. I will be paying entirely for my college tuition, which is what I have worked so hard for. My work experience and education have helped me to become the determined and hardworking person that I am today.

As a high school student, one of the biggest obstacles I have faced in my path to being a doctor is a lack of opportunities. Becoming a doctor requires dedication, hard work, but also a bit of luck. When it comes to the dedication required to become a doctor, I do not think I am lacking. Each week, I go to the local hospital to volunteer afterschool, and have over the course of these four years, completed nearly four hundred hours of volunteering. Hard work is another area that I do not have a problem with; I have taken AP courses in science and math, including Calculus and Chemistry and am currently taking Physics and Biology. But if there was one area where I wish I were more proficient in, it would be in quality of those volunteering hours.
