My Personal And Academic Life

Your faith is reflected in everything you do. Faith is evident by your actions. You can tell a lot about a person who has faith by the words they speak, by their actions and the way they deal with situations. How they respond and act to the challenges that arise in their lives. Faith is an attitude that we must have and must be displayed through our own action. In other words being a doer of the Word of the Most High. Doing what the Most High has commanded for us to do, with no questions asked, with no opinion to those commands. With that said, we must take

I believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.

I have excelled at every subject, achieving various honors throughout my years at Bellefonte. I have challenged myself greatly by taking various engineering classes at the high school, so that I can see what is to come in my future. These courses are designed to push students outside of the normal classroom routine, making me focus on real world applications of the material. In these courses, and all of my schoolwork I strive for perfection, pushing myself to my limits to achieve it. When faced with challenges I strive to overcome them in any means necessary. I strive to have challenges in my schoolwork, so that I can push myself to solve them. I do not back away from any challenge, rather I seek for them to show myself, and others what is

During my high school years, I can confidently say I have excelled in my academic endeavours. This success is partially due to my desire to learn. I am always intrigued by the lessons and concepts that are at the core of assigned work. My passion for learning has facilitated my learning process; because I am usually interested in the material that is being taught, my ability to retain and understand information is heightened. My academic success is also due to my drive to do the best I can. Since grade nine, I have demanded excellence from myself in all academic subjects. I strived to perform to the best of my abilities in the first high school years so that I would adopt that habit early and take it with me through the senior high school years. Finally, my academic excellence

Looking at how I perform at an academic level, there is no surprise to anyone that I am among the top of my class, with hard work and dedication I have fought my way to the get the spot I currently hold. To get to the spot, many challenges had to be overcome and a lot of effort had to be put in. Along the way, I discovered this helped my development into the type of student I currently am.

Over the course of this semester the way I approach my professional and personal life has evolved. I came to a realization that it is crucial to plan, however, most of the times things don’t go as planned. Especially, career wise I believe that choosing the consulting route would be the best option for me, however things might drastically change over the next few years. However, I still believe that setting a guidelines for myself and trying to comprehend what I want to achieve and what my aims are, are crucial in helping me lay out a path for the future. In pursuit of that, in todays’ paper I fist of all want to discover my preferences for the type of environment I need to thrive professionally. In addition to this, I want to evaluate myself and discover how I want my life to be. And finally after exploring where I stand and the shortcomings that I face, I want to use this paper to come up with measures to effectively achieve my goals and work on my flaws.

“Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times” – Martin Luther

Prior to high school, I had done well in school, but did not drive myself to . Towards the end of my eighth grade year, I had attended my brother’s award banquet and noticed that there were students winning almost every award and were recognized for being at the top of their class. At that moment I decided that I wanted to be like the students who did well, but I knew that there was a large amount of effort required. Once I entered high school, I greatly increased the effort that I put into my classes. I spent more time studying, consulting teachers, and completing assignments, all while balancing sports and other extracurricular activities. My grades had drastically improved and I knew that I had succeeded, but I wanted to achieve more. Through my sophomore and junior years, I pushed myself in harder classes, became an officer in many of my activities, and increased my involvement with new activities. Presently, I am well known by my community and school for my academic achievement and service through leadership. This chain of events has increased my work ethic, responsibility, and drive for greatness. Moreover, this experience has allowed me to develop into the devoted, confident, and disciplined person I am

“ If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for?” ( Martel 297) Sometimes in life the only thing we have to hold onto in the hard times is faith that things will get better. Faith keeps us going. Complete confidence or trust is someone or something is the definition for faith. I have faith in a lot of things and faith plays a big part in my life.

The “Seven Secrets of Success” lecture brought an uplifting perspective to what building upon your goals looks like beyond a day-to-day basis. Beginning with the first ‘honest truth,’ living intentionally, having a goal-based attitude can only benefit you when you plan and have a way to reach your desired outcome. The second piece of advice given was to ‘choose the right tribe,’ in other words, the energy you keep around you is the energy you put out into the world. The power of both negative and positive impacts from our friends and peers affect us much more than we realize. A piece of the lecture that particularly resonated with me was the mention of linking one’s identity to a high performing person or group, also called ignition. Our environments (as well as genetics) influence our success.

In life everyone has walked through easy and hard challenges to become the man or woman that they’re today. Everyone has also figured out what talents that they’re good at. They even practice on it to get better and make a living out of it. Most people would lose focus on their goal and fail to achieve it. For my entire life, I have been playing baseball and trying to make a living out of it so, I could make a change for my reservation. I’ve also face many challenges, decisions, and tasks to get where I want to be but, I still have a long way to go.

The only evidence that still exists as proof that she graduated from high school in 1980 is her graduation ring. Due to my mother’s financial constraints, she was not able to afford the ring, but acquired it through a friend’s kind gesture. Over time, it has become a symbol of an aspiration that extended from her to me. However, throughout my mother’s life, she has had many challenges facing her, not only in life, but also in education. Who I am today are blessings made possible by my mother’s sacrifices.

Former British leader Winston Churchill once stated, “success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” As a young thirteen-year-old graduating from the eighth grade, Churchill’s quote would have had very little significance in my life; however, as a senior in high school, this quote has a newfound meaning. This change in perspective resulted from a failure throughout my transition into high school, which opened my eyes and allowed me to grow into a better individual.

Transformation requires faith. You wouldn't go after anything you want in life if you didn't have some sort of faith that you could achieve it. Faith helps kick-start your transformation and keeps you motivated along the way. It helps you make the best choices possible and keeps your spirits high. When you value faith in success, you will find that it will be a natural part of your life.

When I was growing up, I remember my family situation as extremely chaotic. I was one of eight children and my father and mother had little time to devote to me individually. Most of the time they spent trying to earn enough to support us with their meager resources. I was often called upon to act as a surrogate mother to my siblings. I felt I had little time to develop my own unique perspective and voice when I was very young. Even as a preschooler I remember doing chores to help out at home. However, this situation did foster some positive aspects of my character. I learned to be mature at an early age and gained a sense of competence because of my responsibilities. But I also was taught put the needs of others second to my own. I feel that I did not learn to value my own, legitimate desires to an adequate degree as a young girl and have only recently acquired a true sense of worth [THESIS].
