My College Admissions Essay: A Career In High School

Growing up, I was always the one expected in my family to succeed. My mom would always talk about the future; I would go to college, a privilege she couldn't obtain herself, and become a doctor to make enough money for our family. This was the career path I've always been interested in since I was a child. This helped shaped my goals in life and inspired me to work hard so I could make that ongoing dream a reality.

My Junior Year of high school just recently started. I have learned so many different things while attending high school, and still have over a year to learn even more. As Matthew Kelly said, “whether you are sixteen or sixty, the rest of your life is ahead of you. You cannot change one moment of your past, but you can change your whole future.” This means while I have done a lot in my past, I cannot change anything that has already happened, but I am able to change my future. One of the most important things that I am involved in right now is school. My first two years at CBHS were good, and I made decent grades. Some of the grades that I made I am not very happy with now but I cannot change that so I need to focus on my grades right now because those are the ones I can change.

When people tell you that high school would be the best time of your life, you don’t really understand the magnitude of what they’re saying until your time is coming to an end. A lot of people say that you “find yourself” in college. I, however, had the advantage of finding myself in high school. These past six years have been awesome, and I really mean it. I know it might not seem believable for a high school student to enjoy school, but I’m not lying about this stuff. I felt this way even before there was a scholarship to apply for. My mom taught me from a young age to enjoy going to school, and as much stress as it might have caused me over the years, I still loved every second of it. It’s easy to focus on the undesirable parts like sleep

It has always been hard for me to properly envision my future, as it is always changing. As a child I thought of becoming a doctor, in middle school I dreamt of becoming a journalist, and my plans for the future are still shifting. However, there has always been one common element among my aspirations for the future, and that is the desire to engage in and improve the lives of others. This central desire is what leads me to choose Georgetown as the school which perfectly encapsulates my interests.

High school I feel will be a like an unorganized zoo with animals running wild around the place. When I go up to the high school I want it to feel like my second home although it won't be. I hope people won't really know who I'm related to cause I want to be known as myself not “Morgan Bergman’s little brother”, “Kelly Bergman's son”, or “Don Mowrey's grandson” I hate that. Then I hope I have good teachers not bad ones. That is what I want high school to be like for me.

“What are you good at”? “What type of hobbies that you do”? Usually, every year when I am in a new grade and new class every teacher says that to me. No matter what the class that I’m in, no matter what class it’s like and, and what I say that question always come up, To be honest, I'm good at a lot of things. Everyone has something that makes them special. Either it's their skill or talent that they have or are working on these days like me. I have gained my skills over the years especially in school. Everyone as a skill in something. Some have many of those skills and talents. I for one, I have a lot but today I will describe three. They are typing on the computer fast and know how to work tech, I have a lot of patience for others and for

My story began years ago, when I was born, in December of 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia at Piedmont Hospital. From there, I grew up in a fairly suburban area, and after a few moves, I began attending E.W. Oliver Elementary and later M.L.K. Elementary school. I would often travel back and forth, between my home here and my family in California. Growing up in contact with such a diverse community equipped me with many things in life, such as my unexpected temporary move to California my 11th grade year of high school.

I grew up being that student that always got good grades, always did what she was supposed to, did better than all of her other friends in school, and was highly motivated to achieve. I wasn’t passionate about it though. Nothing in high school caught my eye and grabbed my attention, or made me really want to go above and beyond to learn. However, in my senior year of high school, I took an AP Psychology class. I took it because it was one of the most popular classes in the entire school because the teacher was awesome. Taking this class made me realize what I was passionate about in life. But I had always heard from people that it was really hard to get a career in psychology, and that everyone majors in it. So I thought I would major in accounting,

Coming into High School, I had no idea what to expect. I was at a point of just starting to have to exert effort into studying and preparing for classes. Halfway through freshman year, I have now discovered more about myself, and how I must work in order to sucede.

Growing up I was always told to be a doctor. I live in a strict household but over the years my parents made my life a bit more flexible since I started high school. I didn’t know what I wanted to do beside be a doctor. However, that wasn’t what I really want to become but the idea I did took in consideration. During my freshman year, I took a class called Math in Engineering. In the class, we were taught the eight steps of engineering and applied to all the assigned projects given. It was really interesting and collaborative. I also joined the club Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement (MESA). MESA is a competing club where students interested in the engineer field join and create projects to overcome an assigned task. Every year in MESA I’ve always place first place at prelims for my projects and have gone to regionals. However, my goal to place at regionals have not been achieve yet. Towards the end of the school year, I grew interest in the engineering field and decided I wanted to be an engineer but I have not decided what type specifically.

In the summer of my freshman year of high school, I did not want to accept that I was growing up; that I was going to high school. I have always had a problem with wanting to stay a kid. I don’t like the idea of becoming old and not being able to do things that I could before. The three months of that summer were amazing fun and I worried less and less… until the 10 days till high school mark came. I have always been a confident, determined, leader, and wasn’t ever nervous or out of place. High school was a slap in the face. The kind of slap in the face that got me going. I began to look around me and realize that a lot of these kids were going to be stuck in life, while the teachers all wanted us to learn and grow. I would pray to God every night to help these kids who just needed help. It was all about the drama of last year, and she

I am very excited for this school year. I will finally be in high school next year! While I am in this school building, I have some goals to keep me motivated in my learning experience. One of my goal is to get straight A's. I have never got A's all school year before and I am really hoping that I can stay focused on my work and make my teachers very happy with my success. Another goal is to befriend everyone in my class. Since there is a difference in kids’ choices of whether or not to do advanced classes, I have students in my classes that I never had. I know almost everyone in 8th grade, but there are some classmates that I don't normally talk to and I would love to get to know them

I can still feel the nervousness and anxiety pulsing through my veins when I think of it. With a rock in my stomach and lump in my throat, I had known that I will always remember this moment. The car pulled up to the front of the hotel and my entire body was heavy with dread. September second of 2015 and I was sixteen years old, saying goodbye to my family. Being only sixteen and leaving my family for ten months was easily the hardest thing I have ever done. My small town and family had been the only thing I have ever known for 16 years and I was about to leave it all behind. I was not yet certain of who I was, but I was confident of who I would become by taking on this unimaginable opportunity. The opportunity of studying abroad was only

I believe in the one I want to be and I know that building my career is not an easy thing, but when I have a dream and strongly believe in it, I can do everything to achieve it. Therefore, I'm so careful of my steps because they will decide where I go and what I'll be in the future. I had done a lot of things and there is a lot left to do so let the journey begin.

The darkest hour is just before the dawn.” To sum up my college experience in just one phrase, this would be the one. In grade school, outstanding reports are easy to come by. To get a good grade, do your homework, study, pass the tests. Simple. Growing up I always paid close attention to my work to make sure that everything was one hundred and one percent. As my highschool days came to an end, I had to make a choice about college. My mind was filled with ideas and possibilities and I settled on the one I thought would be convienient, easy, and fun. I quickly realized that what seemed to be the uncomparable choice, turned out to be my worst. I slowly began to draw away from my studied due to lack of interest and other personal relations throughout
