My Major Accomplishments

There is no other place that would make me work this hard at everything I do, but now I know I could do it. Before being an MEHS student, I relied in only my grades, but getting those good grades with such simplicity was bringing me nowhere. After hearing about Mt. Edgecumbe I was scared that I could not make it up there. After two years of being a student there, I understand that succeeding at Mt. Edgecumbe is no simple task, but it could be done by someone who truly give it everything they have. Although this would be one of he most streaneus accomplishments I had ever achieved, I know I that I could do it if given the

My entire family was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. After three and a half years of living there my family decided to seek a better future in The United States. My father would go to the United States back and forth to work and earn money to send to us in Mexico. Eventually my mother was able to get a visa and my brother along with my little sister had an alternate way into the United States. We lived in Dallas Texas and Atlanta Georgia before settling in Howard county Maryland in a very small apartment. Luckily we were doing pretty well with my dad being the only one knowing English at the time. My father was working two jobs and I was getting ready to start kindergarten. I was very excited because the education we would have received in Mexico was nothing compared to the education in Howard County. I was excited for what was to come, but there were disadvantages of knowing only Spanish. Being bullied because of my poor English had an impact on me. I was in completely separate classes learning things that were simple compared to the regular course. I was excluded from certain activities, field trips and assemblies. I was clueless at first though as I slowly learned the language I understood things a lot more.

What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.

Our team practice everyday for 2 hours and our record was 23-1. We were the first team ever to win in our age division to ever win for St.Mary’s. We had a hard time in the beginning of the season. One of our best players injured her knee. She was running towards the loose ball and her knee twisted. She was out for the rest of the season. Looking back on it made me better because I learned how hard you to to practice or try to achieve your goal.

Major accomplishments he had in his lifetime is he invented the sciences of mechanics and hydrostatics. He also discovered the laws of levers and pulleys. He calculated pi to the most precise number still known today. He showed how exponents could be used to write bigger numbers. He also invented the first water pump to get fresh water out of the ground. It was known as the archimedes screw.

The four accomplishments of the samurai were the four pursuits, and art, in which it was expected to be accomplished by the confucian gentlemen. Games of strategy go to represent the strategic skill and the meritocracy in government value. The universe is getting represented by harmony and the ability of the government to inspire the society. The samurais were a different class and during the 12th century they reduced the emperor for being a mere figurehead. A quarrel was happening between the two samurai houses then developed into a military and political disaster. Many samurais took the opportunity that was provided by the Onin war to help develop the local autonomy that has not been seen in centuries.

Significantly, over the past few years, I have accomplished three major feats in my life. Within the course of six months, I taught myself to play guitar. Singing the national anthem for a group of veterans, ranks high on my list of my life accomplishments. Although music is my passion, passing the ACT Asset Test, entrance exam to Georgia Northwestern Technical College, made my future dreams seem possible. This was my most recent personal accomplishment. Learning guitar, singing the national anthem, and passing the college entrance exam are definitely my greatest achievements.

What are your other commitments? If accepted, how do you plan to balance these with Willow?

The accomplishment I am proud of today is my academic excellence; I am proud of my GPA which is 3.67. I am proud of this accomplishment because I had never gotten a GPA this high before. There is a lot of competition in my family regarding academic excellence, and whenever my aunts would brag about their children's excellent GPA to my mom, I would feel very insecure as I was an average student not good in studies as I was more interested in sports during high school. I knew that my parents felt bad, but they never pushed me to quit sports and focus more on studies, and I am very grateful to that. Now that I am in college and have a very good GPA I am proud of this accomplishment as this makes my parents happy which in turn makes me happy

What are your three most significant accomplishments and why do you view them as such?

What I consider to be my biggest accomplishment this past school year is finally persevering. What I mean by this is that when I wanted to drop my Spanish class because “it was too hard” or when I wanted to move home because “I did not like living in a small town” instead of doing either of these I persevered through these issues and overcame what felt impossible. Through both of these struggles, I learned that no matter what, you cannot give up on your goals and that everything that happens to you throughout your life is a lesson. With both of these lesson in mind, I have begun to persevere through my struggles and look for a positive side to all of life’s situations. These lessons also made me realize some things about myself. I never realized

My most meaningful accomplishment is my educational career. Immediately after graduating from Azusa High in 2010, I started school at Citrus Community College. After I spent three years at Citrus, putting the time I needed to transfer to UC Merced for a major in Political Science, I graduated with an Associate of Arts degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. My first semester at UC Merced I had a little trouble with the workload but I did not let that stop me from successfully passing all my classes. The second semester was a lot easier to handle even with the extra commitments and class added to my schedule. I brought my cumulative GPA up from a 2.5 to a 2.8 while working two jobs and doing research, I was accepted into the University of

One of my greatest accomplishment was helping a second grader improve his reading skills. I attended a local tutoring program called KIP (Kids In Partnership) when I was in elementary school. KIP’s mission is to aid students identified as "at-risk" by the School staff and adults who are learning or struggling in reading. Knowing how beneficial the program was, I decided to join as a tutor once I was in high school. I was placed to tutor a second grader who was struggling in his reading and math. I tutored him every Tuesday in an one-on-one tutoring session. During these sessions, I would help him on his reading homework and played math oriented games with him. When I first started the program, I attempted to have him read a book by himself;

Even though TJ is known as a science, technology, engineering, and math high school, my greatest accomplishment was not in any of the subjects, though I do love them. Instead, my greatest accomplishment lies in basketball.

My parents both have the same educational level, they completed middle school Mexico. My parents first came to the country on February 02, 1990; this year will be twenty-six years. When my parents took the decision of coming to this country they were already married. My dad decided to come first to be able to get settled and then came my mom with my older sister. My dad had various at jobs when he came to this country; such as gardener, in a factory that sold fabrics, and lastly in two restaurants as a cook. When my mom came to this country she was a stay at home mom, after a few year she worked as a baby sitter. My life took a drastic turn twelve years ago, when my dad left us leaving my mom alone with her three girls. After my dad left my mom started working in maintenance, at a beauty salon and also at various houses. I was born here in the Los Angeles County, in the hospital Monterey Park. I grew up in the City of Montebello. My first language was Spanish, since it was the language both my parents where fluent in. For preschool I was placed in Spanish only, it was until grade K-6 that I was placed in a bilingual classroom. If it was not for my elementary school and middle school having bilingual classrooms, I can guarantee that I would have been placed in a classroom where I did not speak the language. I speak both Spanish and English very fluently, but I feel that I do because I was placed in a bilingual classroom. There are to difficulties I have when it comes to
