My Career In High School

During my high school career, I have been involved in numerous activities. One of my favorite and most impactful activity was FFA. I have participated in many career development events and have competed successfully on the state level. I have been a team member of the state winning Ag Issues and Parliamentary Procedure team. Also, I have won the state Prepared Public Speaking contest as well as earning a national semi-finalist title. In addition, I have achieved leadership positions. I have served as my chapter’s Reporter and a mentored Agriculture 1 students. Another pivotal activity that I have participated in is 4-H. During 10 years of membership, I have served as my club’s Reporter, Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President. Six of my static

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

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.

UW-Madison is a State University. This means the school is a state-funded institution with a campus located in that state. UWM currently has over 40,000 students enrolled in their school. It also has over 2,000 faculty members.

Throughout my high school career, my spare time has been invested in playing sports and volunteering in my community. For four years I have played club soccer; additionally, I ran on the varsity cross country team for three years. I have also done volunteer work with local organizations such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters and the Humane Society of Northwest Georgia. My experiences in extracurricular activities and community service have helped me to develop new perspectives.

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.

I even signed up for counseling that same semester, which ended up helping me a lot more than I thought and I am extremely thankful for the program that I was in. Junior year came and I took AP for the very first time. Although I did have some downfalls during the year, I managed to pull through and ended both semesters with a 4.0 and I passed both of my AP tests. I was ashamed about my many failures in life, but I have also grown to accept them. Without failure, I would've never grown to be the person I am today. I would've never learned how to bounce back from difficult situations nor have the passion to achieve my dreams of becoming a teacher. I always thought that because of my past, I wouldn't be able to go to college. I always believed that I had to have perfect test scores and a high rank in my class to even be considered into a university. Now, I know that through hard work and dedication, anything is nearly possible. I don't have to be perfect to be someone in life. Out of everything that I have learned throughout the years, I have learned that failure is unavoidable, but it is not something to

In high school, it is very important that students choose classes that gives them experiences in fields that could be their potential careers. High school is the time to get a feel of what is to come in the outside world. It is the time where students learn what path to take that leads them to a career that is best fit for them, and committing early on is very essential. By committing early, students will develop organization and time management skills as well as gain experience of their chosen career. Being organized is a key factor in managing time. By choosing a career early on and being committed allows students to organize what is needed to be done to pursue a career. Being organized includes what classes students take and what steps are needed to achieve the

8:00 am. Get to class, don't make eye contact, sit down quietly, participate only when necessary. These are the actions taken by a freshman straight out of high school, just about two weeks after her graduation, to fit in to a totally new community. Coming from an all girls school in the upper east side, Berkeley College was and, sometimes still is, a culture shock. My high school only had approximately 200 girls overall and I graduated with only a class of 36 girls, even a class size too small for that school, but Berkeley College has however many campuses stocked with people. But high school was high school and this is college. It’s time for me to grow up, mature, and take responsibility for my own establishment in this world, but how?

I am a penny hoarder because I’ve worked every summer since I have started high school. My very first job was working in my grandfather’s company cleaning the offices every week. This job has taught me the importance of responsibility, and encouraged me to go out and find another job. After two years, I was hired at the local park district to work first hand with young girls, teaching them discipline, skills, and teamwork through the sport of cheerleading. This was my favorite job all throughout high school because I love working with kids, but unfortunately you can only be in high school to be a coach, so I did this for two years. My last year of high school I worked at a different park district at a summer camp where I created activities

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in numerous clubs and organizations where I held several leadership roles and participated in a number of community service events. If I were asked four years ago why I am interested in leadership positions at school or volunteering, my answer would have been simply because I needed community service hours for school and need to build up my resume. It Now that I am a senior in high school and I have been exposed to nuance service opportunities, I have finally grasped the concept of true leadership and service. I am a former volunteer at the Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital and I currently serve as the SGA vice president, and a member of the POPS program. Through these leadership positions and volunteer programs, I have been able to make a difference in the lives of a number of families and learned something new about myself through each opportunity.

I am a first generation student that had no guidance going into college. My parents didn’t know to tell me to mix science classes with less difficult classes because they had never had to take these courses. Therefore, I took chemistry and pre-calculus all at the same time with only one or two core classes. I quickly learned that I was no good at science or math. This however caused me to have an identity crisis because I had always wanted to be a veterinarian and I had no idea what else I could do. I struggled through my first year because I was trying to hold onto what I thought I wanted to do with my life. This led to a few C’s and D’s and quickly my GPA plummeted. In order to keep my scholarship that paid for the majority of my education, I had to maintain a 3.0. The closer the year came to an end I started to realize that I was not going to be able to keep my scholarship and I was extremely unhappy with my life as a college student.

“Faith in your own powers and confidence in your individual methods are essential to success,” wrote Roderick Stevens. These specific words have and will continue to motivate me throughout my first year in college. Upon arrival of freshmen year, I was very excited but also nervous about the unknown. My excitement came from the feeling of being in a new school with unfamiliar faces. To some people, that may be the total opposite, but considering how bad my last four years of high school went, it is refreshing to have a new beginning. Although college and high school are completely different, I was fairly prepared for the amount of hard work I was going to endure. I knew that my choice of major was going to come with many challenges. My career plan was to become a registered nurse and work my way up from there. During my time as an RN, I want to contribute a few years of my life as an Emergency Medical Technician. Having the same dream since I was seven years old has helped motivate me through challenging times. As some people have one person they look up to, I have a variety. Every doctor, surgeon, nurse, and paramedic whether it’d be on television or in real time. Although that is a few years away, I will be able to apply the strategies I have learned with reading, writing and, vocabulary to the remainder of my college experience. Examples such as using appositives, writer’s brush strokes, absolutes and, active verbs. As I consider my current academic journey through the

According to the Hagans scholarship foundation website, this scholarship is designed for students in need that have the drive and intelligence to succeed in college. My future career has always been in the forefront of my mind, and many of the decisions I have made have been swayed by that persistent thought. Although academics have alway been prioritized during my high school career, I also found time for a variety of activities and hobbies as well as for a job and my family.
