I would say no , the grades I received in my freshman year are little bit lower compare to other year's, that is because It was my first year in the United States, and my family and I had to be in California for a while due to some personal reasons, which dropped my grades from As and Bs to Bs and Cs. I tried my best to make up everything I missed, but It was really close to the end of year and It was just too late. I am always taking things seriously, and I am also a strong hard-working person in things that interested me, suck as science; However, my grades don't seem like it. I took Pre-biology in my freshman year. I thought It would be a fun and interesting class, but it was much harder than I expected. Our teacher was really quiet when

My grades have only increased since then. My average GPA for my Junior year is a 4.5! I buckled down, and decided to make up for my piss-poor freshman GPA. I turn in all my homework on time, I am hardly ever late to class, and I make sure to put in enough study time to make the grades on
classes and had made the honor role every semester. But when I started ninth grade,
I participated in Football my freshman year of high school , I also ran track my Sophomore year of high school. I have been in AVID two years out of the four I’ve been in high school. I also have interest in weightlifting and finances. I worked at KFC and Bojangles as head cooks. I would say overall all the clubs and organizations I’ve participated in taught me the importance of organization and teamwork also the importance of high communication
During Spring 2013, I received a C- in Organic Chemistry 2. During that semester, I took an 18 credit course load, began a 20 hour per week research position, and spent 6-8 hours per week as the Conference Chair of the Asian American Student Union. In addition, I had two separate oral surgeries within a three-month period. I had truly lost a healthy balance between school, extracurricular, and my personal life. Although receiving the C- did not significantly impact my GPA, it did significantly impact my self-confidence and I began to doubt my own abilities as a student. This was the first time in my life that I had “failed” at school. This experience taught me two important lessons. First, I learned how to forgive myself for my failings. I
Junior year has been my most challenging year because it was a time where I balanced academics, work, and extracurricular activities. My typical days consisted of high school classes, cheer practice, diving practice, and college courses in the evening or working. My goals were to be in the top ten of my graduating class, earn a letter achievement in diving and cheer, and to save enough money to purchase a car for college. It was a time of adjustment to handle all these activities and complete the tasks excellently. I pushed myself by keeping my goals in mind every day. In the end I know that hard work will pay off. I changed how I used my time and used it more efficiently. I completed homework at school so that I could put my undivided attention
By investing in a Master of Social Work degree, I envision the opportunity to design a wellness program in a healthcare reform market. Researching alternative therapy and its effects on behavioral health outcomes is one focus of my study. In conjunction with my course of study, I intend to acquire the Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certification, Competent Communicator credential from Toastmasters, and American Council on Exercise personal trainer certification within the next year. These additional certifications support my framework for personal wellness which is a leading indicator of my diversified approach to becoming a professional social worker. Health care in America is shifting from treatment to preventative care. Corporations are making
From the very day after I decided to drop out of high school, I deeply regretted it. However,
Freshmen year of high school, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who I was meant to be. I decided a non-denominational child should attend a Catholic high school. During sophomore year lent, a parish priest invited me to come to the 2016 Easter Vigil to watch the candidates and catechumens join the Church and later asked me if I wanted to join myself. I watched a 22-year-old woman get baptized, and that was when I felt that the Catholic Church was calling me.
INTRO. I knew at the beginning of my Sophomore year that the teacher I was to have for English would be especially challenging and that his homework would be lengthy and time-consuming. Nevertheless, I decided also to pursue theatre because in doing some introspection, I felt shy and introverted and was not satisfied that was what was best for me as I moved forward through high school and into college.----.
When I was younger I thought that life wouldn’t hand me the very sour lemons until later on in life. However I was wrong on that account. In the middle of my sophomore year of high school I was diagnosed with epilepsy. My friends and I actually knew there was something going on before my parents did but we just had no idea what that was. That year I would have been able to accomplish one major mile stone in one’s young life which was to get their license, but I couldn’t get that until later. I had really hoped to have that license at 16 and be driving and having the freedom I wanted nevertheless that goal was crushed. For after an episode you must wait six months. I continued having seizures until July of that year. That was great to not have
My junior was by far the hardest. During that time was when my mother moved to Nashville, Tennessee and I was left in Colorado by myself. Without a family or an adult to provide me for my basic needs, I had many obstacles to overcome. Due to all these ordeals, my grades dropped significantly. I often had to wonder where I was going to sleep or what I was going to eat. It was very hard for me to concentrate in my studies and therefore I got a D in Honors Chemistry and Algebra II my first semester of Junior year. I was very aware that junior year was a crucial when it comes to college so I tried my best to increase my academic performance despite my personal problems. With hard work and dedication I was able to obtain a C in Algebra II second
In my self-assessment, there is always room for improvement when it comes to management and leadership roles. Though I have never considered myself as a leader. I always imagined when taking on a leadership role the objective is to bring others together for a common good even those of like and unlike minds. As a leader, I want to create an environment that is positive, be willing to take on responsibilities and be able to manage problems.
As we entered the doctor's office I had realized that everything would be better soon. As we walked in the nurse took us into her office and started asking me questions, she asked along the lines of where's the pain, how severe is it you know normal doctor things. The room was a 6x6 little tiny room, feeling smaller than ever being watched by body figures in judgement because I was in denial of my own. As we progressed throughout our conversation she wanted to do a blood test on me, as I walked into the test room a very young lady was the blood specialist she couldn't have been more than twenty. She sat me down on to hyper sanitary leather chair with cords and wires coming out of every angle, I picked up a hint of nervousness from her because
After assessing the Mid-Year Student Assessment, I have come to several conclusions pertaining to my results. I have noticed that certain areas have increased whereas others have decreased. Areas in which I have improved include my academic motivation include study habits and math and science confidence. I found out very quickly that even though I did not have to study much in high school that college is much different and that I have to spend more time than I thought in order to be successful in more advanced or difficult classes. College requires much more studying that my high school courses did and the first semester proved that rather quickly.
