My Personal Achievement : My Success And Achievement

Success can mean different things to different people. The definition of success can change for a person at different stages of their life. A person's culture, family, friends, experiences, and environment can be a big influence on defining what success is to that individual. We all hear the stories of people failing and failing until one day they make it to the top, beat the bad guy or pass the trial. The story can also go that they got all they desired or raised up from the ashes. All of these have one thing in common, it is at the end of the story. It's never the beginning or middle. It's always at the end of the story that the person succeeds in their quest. But why does it have to be at the end? Simply, like how there is no good without evil. You can not have succeed without struggling and failing first.

At this point in my life, my greatest accomplishment is graduating from the New Jersey Medical School Pre-Medical Honors Program at Rutgers University. This accomplishment was the determining factor in my decision to take on a career in medicine. In this program, I was to be under the mentorship of renowned professors and students in medical school. Through these mentors, I gained a firm knowledge on what a career in the medical field consisted of. The professors were able to teach me about the history of medicine, issues in medicine, and the wide variety of career paths that exist within it. In addition, the mentors explained the pivotal impact that the health care system and health care professionals have on the health of the public. The

The meaning of success is different to everyone. It can be completing your education/degree, earning money, or obtaining a good job. Success is a word that society uses to describe a person that is intelligent or genius. Talent can also be a meaning of success, but you do not have to be born with talent to meet your goals. You do not have to be born with talent to be successful you just need to have the right timing, culture, practice, and opportunity. To become an expert or successful you need the help of your parents and enough money so that you do not have to work. All of these things can play a huge role in someone's life.

When assigned my first essay, “My Greatest Accomplishment,” I took time to brainstorm different ideas that defined me. The accomplishment that stood out the most to me was qualifying for State Track in four events on a sprained ankle. While writing this essay, I felt like a baby learning how to walk. My writing was unsteady and I took a few tumbles trying to get the paragraphs to flow. This reminded me of trying to run on my sprained ankle at the State-qualifying meet. However, like I finished the paper, I finished my events with qualifying times. I knew the essay would prove difficult, but I grew hopeful while writing because I knew I had numerous

Over the course of my career I have had the opportunity to work for dozens of leaders that aided me in the development of my leadership style. As one would easily recognize not all leaders had a constructive impact on my career but rather provided leadership traits to avoid. One person that I have learned a considerable amount from is my father. My father instilled in me the fact that I need to work hard, complete the task at hand, dedicate time to the betterment of my people, and myself and have fun while doing all of this. Another person that introduced considerable leadership influence on me are my grandfathers. My grandfathers lived very different lives; one was a businessman, while the other was a US Army post-WWII veteran, yet they had a uniformed message. That message was continuously grow, be aggressive in studies and work, stay active, and finish what you started. Two additional influencers of leadership are CDR Michael Fredie and MCPO Darrick Dewitt. CDR Fredie is a natural leader, and lives the quote made famous by Theodore Roosevelt, “Speak Softly and carry a big stick; you will go far”. He has the uncanny ability to influence others to work harder through passion and inspiration. Whereas MCPO Dewitt is an authoritative figure that demands respect and continuously inspires his workforce to better themselves in pursuit of bettering the unit, rating, and service.

While my accomplishments on paper may seem limited, I have always considered myself a proficient writer. I have written almost daily since about sixth grade, albeit my prior schooling did not do much of a service for my writing skills. This, I feel, has led to me being able to write well, but not being able to break-down & improve my writing efficiently. These effects can be directly seen by me performing better on the essay for my SAT than I did on the actual writing question subsection. I wish to attend USF to hone my writing skills into something more presentable to the world. I feel have the ideas, but not the tools, so to speak. My overall goals include one day attending classes at the Poynter Institute to maximize my comprehension of

I believe in setting a schedule and a goal for a certain amount of time helps you efficiently accomplish all of your tasks. In my opinion, being organized and following discipline helps advance your achievements in school.

My most meaningful accomplishment happened on December 13, 2014 when I graduated from college. I measured my success based on the rates of a former foster care youth graduating college. I measured my success based on me being the first one in my family to graduate college. This accomplishment was important to me because I grew up with teachers telling me that I would never make it out of high school. It was important because my biological mother told me I would never succeed in life and end up just like her. Having my biological mother tell me that I would have my children taking away from me pushed me even more. Having no support from a woman that brought me into the world made me what to become a social worker. Become someone that she sees

5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others. [Revised]

I took Engl 131 last quarter and the portfolio that I submitted was my biggest accomplishment in writing. I was very proud with the result because it comprised all my effort from the whole quarter. The portfolio included six essays and explanations for each outcome of the course. It marked my improvement in writing from proving how the essays have been refined in every draft. The essays focused on the topics of audience, genres and rhetorical skills.

My accomplishments would include my high school diploma, college degree, my work accomplishments, and personal accomplishments. I’m the first in my family to receive a college degree and that alone is a great accomplishment for me. I have been fully employed since the age of sixteen and have worked in many different types of jobs while attending school. I received the title of training manager at my first job, and was in charge of training the new employees. I worked at Herman Miller for a short period of time as a temp and had better quality control and more quantity produced then prior workers. I have excelled at every job I have ever taken. I currently work in a position with only the boss and I. I’m highly trusted by my boss and have ran

If an investor gave you the chance to start a business of your choice with $1,000,000 upfront, you would probably take that opportunity with no hesitation, but what if you had the same chance to start a business with only $1,000 of your own money? There is a 990,000 difference between those two increments but one thing remains, you. It is your hard work and determination to be successful that should be your only influencer. The feeling of self-accomplishment is one of the greatest feelings to ever experience. The feeling of achieving your goals with the help of no one is grand but being able to share your earnings with whom you choose is even better. When accepting handouts, you must always be aware of the ulterior motive – how does helping

To accomplish anything in life, you have to start somewhere. Achievements, family life, values, aspirations and beliefs all exhibit who you are. Obstacles that I have faced throughout my life have molded me into the person I am today.

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;

​“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” Growing up with anxiety wasn’t an easy thing to deal with during my years of high school. From the weight loss to the nightmares to physiological problems I was dealing with. I asked myself “why me” and why did I have to experience so much right now. Sometimes I thought God was punishing me. I always thought that my life was worse than others and that no one understood me. I realized my life isn’t all that bad compared to others who had it even worse than me. Also, the path I’m walking isn’t an easy one. It made me realized that life and things aren't handed to you and you have to fight and overcome obstacles just like a warrior.
