Personal Narrative: If I Become A Points Scholar

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

My legacy began when my family taught me to read. My mom and grandma took turns teaching me different letters and sounds out of an early reader. By the time I reached kindergarten, I read well enough to strengthen my skills on my own. My favorite author from kindergarten was Eric Carle. I brought home Brown Bear Brown Bear so many times that my mother told me I was not allowed to read it again.

It is a game of inches played nearly everywhere by every age. From backyards to little league parks and professional stadiums, by tee-ball playing kindergartners to old-timer leagues, baseball is a game that is considered America’s pastime for a good reason. Baseball, and simply sports in general, help teach many important life lessons such as hard work, sportsmanship and dedication.

A way out from the poverty and crime and a way to a better life here in America. Out of all of the opportunities afforded to me

National Honors Society is an amazing opportunity to be chosen for. By being accepted, it shows that the hard work that I have done in the classroom, and in the community have done well for not only the community but for myself as a person. Since I have started High-school, I have done many volunteer hours at my church. I have done many things such as help lead game-time for the little ones during a learning program called Awana. Awana is a program done by some churches to help raise children to love and serve God. I also help most Sundays in the sound room at church. I help to run the sound and the computer that displays the songs that we are doing that particular Sunday. I enjoy doing these things because seeing the children’s faces, enjoying

My current strengths according to the LifeStyle Management Health Risk Inventory, is that I am punctual in seeing a primary care provider, whom I have seen in the past two years, it was suggested that it is of vital importance to do so, as a PCP can provide helpful information about my health and how I can improve any health problems I may have.

Prior to entering class, I deemed myself a competent writer. However, I quickly discovered that my writing involved mediocre writing precepts. In contrast to the principles of scholarly discourse, my writing held the tenets of conversational writing and failed to meet academic standards. Furthermore, much of my poor writing was akin to a deep-rooted habit that I found humbling to admit and challenging to correct. Passive voice, unneeded words, long sentences, were a few of the obstacles that impeded my journey to effective writing. However, using peer reviews and an editing checklist I slowly began improving my skills as a competent writer. I also found that reading concerning writing provided supplementary methods to improve my skills as a scholarly writer. Implementing these innovative techniques, I slowly began to

Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.

These successful and inspirational speakers; Dr. Wendy Murphy and Bentina Terry, along with the list of phenomenal of panelist really stood out with ear piercing words like be myself and be confident in what I know. Having mentors would be one key to my success that I learned and can begin today. Mentors provide support, motivation, understanding, and guidance.

I believe I am an example of leadership, scholarship, character, and service in my own life. Some of the activities I am in represent how I uphold the ideals throughout my day. With Golf Basketball and all the sports I am in, I uphold the leadership pillar as a guide my peers. In Aca-Deca and Quiz bowl, I demonstrate the pillar of scholarship.

The statement that I agree with that would explain this is statement 7, I like things to be stable and predictable. I am a person that does not likes much risk I do prefer safety and stability.

Throughout the semester, we have done many assignments that acted as assessments to help us in finding our specific learning pattern, personality type, areas where we excel and need to work on, all in order to help us plan accordingly and successfully on how each of us should approach future assignments in future courses for the rest of our university career. After doing so many assignments to help us determine our specific areas where we excel at and where we may need some work with, I believe I have found my caveat. The area where I believe I excel, would be in time management, and although I plan out my time well and realistically, I need to work on actually executing it and following through with the plan I make for myself.

During my eighth grade overnight trip to Boston, I bought a Harvard t-shirt off a sketchy guy near Plymouth Rock. The letters were wonky (the fabric was too rough to be resemble anything remotely high-quality) but I wore the t-shirt everywhere. I had hoped that I would someday wear an official Harvard 2021 shirt, and continue my straight trajectory into a well-paying career and notoriety and a loving husband.

I pride myself most on my achievements in scholarship; I arrived as a freshman at Mitchell thinking I was always going to be subpar in school, but I took my first AP class anyhow. AP Human geography completely changed the way I looked at myself and how I learned in school, I was finally understanding curriculum and I was scoring high on tests and, as sad as it may be, I was doing better in that class than my honors classes. So I made the decision to take more…and more…and then more; needless to say I've currently taken 12 AP classes and I'm preforming better in school than ever. I have received the title of AP Scholar with distinction after earning all 4’s and 5’s on my end of the year tests, I managed to bump my GPA up from about a 3.5 to

As a scholar practitioner I am constantly being challenged with quoting and paraphrasing other resources. I would like to say this has been an easy journey, but really I feel that I am still learning . I try to be self aware of this when completing assignments and I try my best to follow the feedback from instructors. To me, an individual who does not follow these standards is being careless, unethical and unprofessional. Plagiarism is also described as not giving credit to the source and identifying the material as if it were your own (American Psychological Association, 2010).
