My Proudest Personal Complishments

Accomplishments in my life have really given me a new understanding for myself and others and allowed for personal growth. One accomplishment has provoked this growth: being inducted into the National Honor Society. The society helps me to think differently about other people and learn of ways I could become a better person. This experience has shown me the importance of hard work, never giving up, social interaction, and helping others.

My single biggest accomplishments that i have achieved, is graduating from middle school and starting a new phase in my life, this is inportant to me because i have turned from a boy to a man. I have also learned priceless lessons and values from the people around me that helped me become who i am. It helped me be defined as someone else and not just a shell of a person going through school, what i do now defines the life i have, and will forever be me. I said goodbye to me elementary and middle school teachers that inpacted my life

Everyone has accomplishments, People experience them young, old and all inbetween. A main accomplishment in my life has been starting for the varsity lacrosse team here at Clackamas High School. Along with starting on my high school team, as a sophomore, I also was invited to play on some of the best club teams in Oregon. During these experiences I have grown as a person, began working harder, and learned you can’t always control everything. With determination you can do anything you set your mind to.

DI would say, successfully starting over as a non traditional student is my most meaningful achievement to date. While I've achieved most, if not all, goals that I've set to carry out, Most meaningfully, coming to terms with a juvenile decision and not giving up serves as my most telling accomplishment.

My greatest personal achievement was escaping the negative circumstances that I grew around during my childhood. Within my poverty-ridden neighborhood was an abundance of street gangs and at a young age, I had fallen in with a group of gang members. I was headed towards a path of delinquency but was fortunate enough to have a realization that allowed for me to distance myself from gang-life and instead center myself

The greatest accomplishment in my life thus far has been graduating high school. Academics has always been very significant to me. Neither my Mother or my Father graduated from high school and they have always encouraged me to receive my diploma. with the diploma came pride, being the first person in my family to get a higher education and knowing I'm one step closer to my career.

My most meaningful accomplishment is finding my inner leader and learning to believe in myself. For many years I was extremely shy and I let this deter me from enjoying activities outside my comfort zone. Growing up I never really believed enough in myself to find my leadership abilities. It was not until early in my college career that I began to truly see my potential. My freshman year of college I began to open myself up to the possibilities around me by joining clubs on campus and making connections with those around me. The one organization that truly changed my outlook forever was Phi Beta Chi National Sorority. Within my sisterhood I began to open up and see myself as the leader I knew I could be. Once I had this new found outlook I

The accomplishment that I think that sparked the most realization in me is the Atlas program I was accepted into last year. Atlas means Adirondack Teen Leadership and Services. With Atlas it made me learn team building skills and how to work with people I didn´t know. Atlas also made me realize how much I like helping people. When we did our community service project at the nursing home I loved it so much because we were helping by earning money to buy christmas gifts for all the residents, we wrapped the present and baked cookies for all the staff. It was so much fun just to help the nursing home because most people just ignore the people. Atlas pushed me out of my comfort zone it made me learn more leadership skills and not to be as shy as

Moving from Guatemala to the USA. My whole family move to the United States; my whole view of life change. There was more to know. Many different thing and perspectives.

Throughout this 2016-2017 year in my English 11 class; we have focused on formal debates with informed opinions

An experience that has made a profound impact on my life was when I directed and completed a community service project to fulfill a requirement for the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America. In order to competently act as coordinator for this service project, I had to develop both my interpersonal communication and leadership capabilities to a proficient level. Besides improving my professional skills, this project gave me the opportunity gain hands on experience working with groups of people who had varying skill levels. So, not only did these skills allow me to complete the project successfully, they have also proven incredibly useful throughout my academic career.

In my junior year AP US History class I was introduced to a classroom that emphasized open discussion instead of just a lecture style of learning. The intimate classroom setting helped expand my knowledge of American History as it encouraged critical thinking as well as connection building. The teacher-student interaction enabled me to become completely engaged in learning as I was able to develop new viewpoints and question my earlier ideas of American culture. In addition, the emphasis on peer discussions promoted the development of individual ideas along with an understanding of other viewpoints. Yet, the best aspect of the classroom was my teacher’s approach of learning through debates. Through debate, we increased our perspectives of the

The biggest accomplishment I have ever had in my life is adopting my son. This was an extremely hard time in my life due to a 4 year court battle, and only being 18 years old in the beginning of it. I am happy to say that I followed my heart, I never gave up, and I did what I thought was right. My son is now 18 years old and he will graduate high school this May. He is my greatest

Steve and I needed to mount an expedition into the wild mountains, a long one, by ourselves, without the oversight of adults, self-sufficient not for a day but for a significant time. Maybe a week, yeah, that should do it and I knew just the place.

I would have never thought I would incorporate these many languages in my life, but I am glad I have, for they are very applicable. No doubt, learning a language can take a lot of time and effort, but their benefits outweigh their disadvantages. Monolinguals, especially in the United States, should become fluent in another language because of increased global communication, business and career benefits, and cognitive improvement.
