Personal Accomplishments: A Self Analysis

My major accomplishments will be regarded as reaching out to the professional Hockey league. To reach out to my goal, I would have to work and train hard or I will not make it. Also that would include missing out on hanging out with my friends, going to parties, and avoiding circumstance were drinking, or drugs come in place, because both of those would end my career.

During the end of my 1st semester of sophomore year, I felt as if everything was falling apart. It was my low point throughout my high school career, and I just received my grades for the current quarter of classes. I will be honest; it was a whopping grade point average of about 2.6. Once, I saw this. I did not lose it as much as others would have. Instead, I looked at this and said to myself, “what can I do differently moving forward.” The second semester started, and I know I had to do better whatever the challenges that I face this time around: and so I did. I was able to

Entering freshmen year, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do, but I was lost regarding how I was going to do it. This is a sentiment shared by many students entering collegiate studies. Some students may not even have a direction or general idea of what they wish to achieve from college. Others, are either overconfident or hold a disillusioned perspective regarding course selection, work load, study time, time management, and the equilibrium between social and academic life. My first semester at Randolph-Macon began as a series of failures that lead themselves to success largely due to the influence of upperclassmen pursuing the same goals as me and continuously pushing me to hone my strengths and reevaluate my weaknesses.

Accomplishments When I write, I find that writing about a topic that is relatable with my personal life and past experiences is fairly easy, whereas, writing with just a modicum of ideas in mind or writing about a topic that is not relatable to my personal life tends to be a difficult issue to address. During my childhood years, I learned how to play instruments such as the violin and flute. I also learned how to play baseball as early as five years of age and I began playing for a little league baseball team at the age of nine. During my first baseball season, I scored plenty of runs though most were by getting four balls or a hit and taking bases rather than hitting homeruns.

Major changes in my life have affected my high school career, but a large impact came from the death of my father in eighth grade. Before his passing, I was an average A/B student in middle school and even elementary school, which quickly changed in 8th grade when my classes became too hard for me to handle. I decided the best thing for my mental health was to drop out of my higher level classes. This lead to being in standard classes throughout my first year of high school with minimal effort from my part. After constantly missing school, I failed my second quarter. Instead of bouncing back from this, it pushed me down, making me believe I would never be able to recover. Without any motivation, I ended my ninth grade year with a grade point average of 1.4.

I was raised in Nacogdoches, Texas, which is known for its small-town atmosphere and Stephen F. Austin State University. Due to being a small town, Nacogdoches lacked advanced placement courses; therefore, most my time was spent in non-challenging course work. When I attended SFA as a dual-credit student I experienced a minor shock, SFA was a step up from Nacogdoches High School; however, I quickly adapted and worked harder to maintain the pace of my peers. When I finally got accepted to Texas A&M University I again faced the same academic obstacle, and experienced major setbacks and failures. After my first semester of college I received a 2.7 gpa and received my first C in a class. Feelings of defeat and confusion overcame me—my goals of attending medical school appeared to diminish before my eyes. I questioned my work ethic and intelligence. Despite the feelings of failure, I never let myself fall into despair, and I moved forward. Every semester following my first semester at A&M I improved over time; however, the in the Spring 2016 I finally overcame my academic hurdle and made my best grades to date. It has taken time to develop qualitative techniques to retain information for difficult science

Towards the end of my sophomore year I went through some personal problems that caused my grades to drop. It was unexpected and I was devastated due to the fact that I set out to reach my goal of a higher GPA that year. The shock of my grades only worsened the situation and slowly I began giving up. I maintained average grades with the help of my teachers and I set a few goals for myself. My goals included, a GPA of 3.5 or above, at least a 20 on my ACT, and to overall try to better my mental state. With hard work, I was able to raise my grades and have above a 3.0 GPA by the end of my sophomore year. The start of junior year was my chance to accomplish my goals, but I was faced with even more challenges. Same as before, my grades began to

Numerous people like George Washington, Michael Jordan, and Dr. Martin L. King Jr have had major accomplishments that helped achieve a goal to change their future in a certain way. Moreover, accomplishments have great importance in one’s life. They help improve one’s self-esteem, also, they give encouragement to succeed and achieve a goal.

My answer to the question, what will be regarded as my major accomplishments is, that I have been earning A’s in all classes in school for as long as I can remember. Good grades are something to take pride in. I feel like my accomplishments are something to be proud of. I say this because A’s don’t come easy. So in the end when I look back and think about what I have achieved I think about how different people might think about me. In addition in my previous travel season of softball (around 75 games), I had one strikeout. That is a pretty challenging and amazing feat to pull off, and I was very excited at the end of the season when I found that out. My coaches and teammates respect me more now.

In my first semester of college I felt overwhelmed by course load. I wasn’t doing will in the beginning where I was not doing as great as I expected. I began to doubt myself and became frustrated on why I was having such a difficult time. However, I had great advisors Annette De La Torre and Alicia Rodriguez who listened to me but most importantly helped transition. They advised me to use the tutoring centers and how to cope with everyday stress. But they made it clear that the only person that can make change is yourself. So, I had two options either to cry and complain about how poorly I’m doing or take this as a learning experience and make change. I chose the latter and began to seek help and learned to manage time. I ended the semester strong with a 4.0 which I never achieved

Hard work and dedication. These principles have been deeply instilled within me throughout my childhood and teenage years. My parents taught me that nothing in life is given to you; if I wanted something, I would have to work hard and earn it. Whether it has been in the classroom, on the athletic fields and courts, or at work, I have always put forth my full effort into any activity that presented itself. I believe I would be a great recipient of this scholarship due to my very Nellie Fox-like mindset and morals.

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.

Throughout my life, I feel like I have been pretty successful. I have been able to accomplish some of my personal goals, while both being able to give back to my community and plan for my future. I hope that my with the success I have had already, will help me have an even more successful life in the future.

I’m a high school student. Typically, when people think of high schoolers they envision an athletic jock, a geeky near, or even the most popular girl in school. I personally don’t consider myself to be one of those typical high school students. As I’m a hard-working, self-motivated student, who chose to leave the high school scene, and switch over to the running start program for my senior year. I’ve had countless people tell me that I’d made the wrong decision, or that I’m missing out on the best days of my life. All of which may be true, but in the beginning of my senior year this new challenge was exactly what I needed to be a successful student, and to be the happiest person I could be. As I threw myself into an entirely different learning environment, which included more independence and self-accountability, I knew this was best. Once I conformed to my new routine and began to get to know the teachers and students in my classes, things got a lot easier. I was doing well in all my classes. I stayed on top of my homework, turned in all my assignments on time, stayed after class to ask questions, until I hit a major setback in my Political Science class. It was my first college exam, and I had no idea what to expect, I thought I had thoroughly studied the material until I got my exam back with a failing score. I was in disbelief, I didn’t understand how this could’ve happened when I thought that I’d prepared myself so well. I immediately started considering all the factors
