Personal Narrative: My Accomplishment To Quit Smoking

My biggest accomplishments thus far has been improving my academics. By doing so, I finished my first semester of senior year with a 3.6 GPA but, I also won the principles merit award and made the honor roll for the first time. I ended my junior year with very poor GPA of 2.5, this year I made the decision to improve my grades and take academics more seriously by not focusing on athletics so heavily and eliminating as many outside distractions as I could. Another major accomplishment was me getting accepted into UCCS. Even though I was still applying and being accepted to other schools, UCCS was one of the top colleges that I wanted to attend, but I realized that I need to mature as a student and as a person. I changed my attitude about school

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

An accomplishment that set my life forward and taught me multiple traits and allowed my character to develop would have to be when I set out, got a job, and saved up enough money to buy my first car. It was a summer I'll always remember. After my sophomore year of high school I set out during the summer and got a job at Glidden Fence Company. I was nervous not working at all previous to working at Glidden and started wondering whether I had gotten too far ahead of myself. I was assigned to a three man crew and started my career as a fence builder, the crew leader was super nice to me and guided me in every step as I began to learn how to do it myself. So long story short I threw myself into a foreign environment unaware of what the

The greatest accomplishment to date would be me deciding to come back to college to continue to finish up my degree as a medical assistant. I had started back in 2014 and for economic and personal reasons was not able to continue my dream in becoming a medical assistant. Along my journey I had encounter many obstacles, but I decided that these obstacles would no longer interfere with me pursuing my career. My mindset had changed I was tired of living in a world that constantly wanted to make me into something other than myself. I know that I still have a long way to pursue my career but where I am now is more than an accomplishment to me. Not only because I’m attending college again but because I learned to take day by day and I learned that

My most significant accomplishment would have to be maintaining who I am, and keeping my grades up through the tests of life. Even though it is a broad topic, seeing as there are so many things that life throws at each of us, it really is a big deal to

All throughout my life I loved to run; I even participated in track and cross country all throughout middle school to quench my thirst for a long run. Around the beginning of winter, of my junior year, there came a time when I thought I could no longer run. To further elaborate upon my situation, whenever I would do strenuous physical exercise, or even write in class, my muscles would instantly feel fatigued. It felt very similar to the feeling one gets when their hands have been outside in the frigid cold. I could not even do ten push-ups. Regardless, my muscles would not move as I would like them to. This became a painful obstacle in my daily life. After countless doctor's visits and no signs for a cure I felt hopeless, defeated, and disheartened.

The accomplishment I am proud of today is my academic excellence; I am proud of my GPA which is 3.67. I am proud of this accomplishment because I had never gotten a GPA this high before. There is a lot of competition in my family regarding academic excellence, and whenever my aunts would brag about their children's excellent GPA to my mom, I would feel very insecure as I was an average student not good in studies as I was more interested in sports during high school. I knew that my parents felt bad, but they never pushed me to quit sports and focus more on studies, and I am very grateful to that. Now that I am in college and have a very good GPA I am proud of this accomplishment as this makes my parents happy which in turn makes me happy

I think an accomplishment of mine would be winning my 5th grade talent show. I entered it thinking i couldn't sing but i when i got on stage i did really well i loved the feeling and i found out i could sing that day. Ever since that day i have been singing and i found a new love for it. It has given me the opportunity to meet a lot of great people. I have made most of my friends through choir and they are really great people my life was better with singing and choir. I have gone a long ways with my singing. My directors have taught me so much and bc of it i have won awards and I have been to many concerts and competitions . it has even helped me get over my stage fright and fear of talking to crowds that's how i accomplished something and

A big success has been getting out of my friend group. I have met a lot of new people that can become good friends. Also I have been starting art projects before and finishing them fully where before i would put it off to the side. I have had some challenges though. My attempt to eat healthy has gone down the drain because I get home so

Throughout my early childhood, I knew I wanted to change lives for the better. I have always contemplated on being a doctor since the age of three and decided to be an actress/singer at age six. Since then I have worked hard to maintain good grades and up until now I have worked relentlessly to maintain good grades, this all payed off when I was accepted into a university that would give me the opportunity to follow my dreams. To be able to accomplish my dreams, I have studied, auditioned,and performed to get prepared and be in the place i’m in today. If it wasn't for my determination,persistent,realization,and hard work, I wouldn't be where I am today. Through countless rehearsals, I was able to accomplish my dream of learning how to sing,

A great accomplishment for me thus far would be when I was promoted to department manager at my current job with Wal-mart. It was a proud moment of mine since I had worked especially hard in hopes to one day receive that position and felt as though my efforts were

Nobody is perfect. There are many addictions and phases I have had over the years. I have relapsed severally, and have had failed attempts. But the reassurance is, I have overcome all my addictions successfully and I’m now recovering from all of them day by day. It is not an easy journey, but it is a worthy one to undertake upon. I rather be where I am now than where I used to be

A goal that I did accomplish was recovering from a herniated disk injury. I actually didn't go to the gym and did not do much physical work for almost a month and a half. I find this as a huge accomplishment because at first I thought, I was going to re-injure myself because I am such an active person, sometimes

The achievement I am most proud of is participating in NASA's Space Settlement Contest in 2013. I was the leader of a group of seven people and the project spread throughout six months. We started by being very enthusiastic and having a lot of ideas. However, after the first few weeks problems and stress started to appear. What made me proud is that, despite our differences, we managed to collaborate and deal with the challenges of the project. There were moments when we thought we will not meet the deadline or we will give up, because participating in the contest was optional. However, we persevered, we supported each other and we managed to overcome the problems that came our way. I was the proudest of me and my team when we submitted the

To start of with, an accomplishment that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding was to my best friend and myself especially, was the act of helping one another and other people as well. What I mean by this, is the fact that my best friend was
