Personal Statement: Going From High School Into College

From taking my first steps at the age of 8 months old, to walking alone to a friend’s house at 3(kids don’t try this at home), followed by cooking dinners autonomously at 10 years old, my life has accumulated to a series of beautiful memories that my father has meticulously sculpted to raise me as an independent young lady. He taught me the virtues of such self governing and the beauty of freedom that such a gift dons. Every day I strive to honor such teachings. It is no wonder that these lessons have led me to strive to pay for college by myself.

t's very sad to this school year coming to a end... Yes, I would love to be in the high school with my high schooler friends but i'm going to miss walking in the small little hallway everyday i'm going to miss my teachers more than anything. My teachers are what taught me everything that leads up to high school. Sometimes they can be very strict but they just want us to get better and be a better person ! Some of the kids in teh 6-8 hallway can be a little bit annoying since they have not matured all the way yet. I'm not saying that 8th graders are all the way machured but they are pretty close.

Whether it may be knowing how to fit in or succeed in college, everyone has his or her own views on what is best as a college freshman. In the same scenario, think of it as a process of having to go through High School and putting a similar perspective of having to transition into college with a more widespread and diverse community. Alongside, it may be difficult getting to meet new friends and those who share the same views and ideas as you. Other factors, such as doing well in college may be affected upon those of whom you work with. For instance, finding the right study partners and those who are willing to help you, will allow you to succeed throughout college and as a freshman. In my case, I feel that all these factors, in which getting

Due to the fact that I was previously horrible at managing my time, I would often be stressed. Thanks to the speaker and faculty member who came into FYE to coach us through managing stress, I have found a technique to help me. If I allot myself time to relax, listen to music, and read material not associated with school, my stress dissipates. I think this skill set is something that I can utilize for the rest of my life. I am on track to being a speech pathologist, which will undoubtedly bear stress in some way, shape, or form. As long as I allow myself the time to relax and do what I enjoy, I know I will be

I remember waking up that morning feeling rather pleasant. That was until I remembered it was Monday. I really didn’t want to go to school that day. I was in second grade and already wanted to graduate. I thought I was done. Nothing was ever fun at school it seemed. There was a girl in my class named Vanessa that always seemed like to make my life miserable, her hair was absolutely gorgeous. Ringlets of chocolate brown that shined down her back. It made me sick . She’d always glare at me and make rude comments that got on my nerves. However, there was something that wasn’t all bad at school and that was my teacher. She handed out candy to everyone just about everyday. And she always had a big smile on her face. She was my “protector.” Mrs.Armstrong

I believe I hinder myself from fully being successful by lacking efficient time management skills. Sometimes, I tend to procrastinate handling assignments and studying, or overly dedicate time to one task, while putting off the management of others. I know how to prioritize what tasks need to be done, and attempt to set out time frames to accomplish them, but struggle with completing them in the allotted time. I know that as my classes become more difficult, efficient time management will become crucial to my success. I want to develop a schedule where I am actively studying material every day, rather than a week or two before an exam. I know that progressive studying

I will be more candid and I will make sure I am well-known throughout my grade. I will become more oriented with clubs and I will try and even get into sports to become even more known. I want to be known more so I stand out and so that colleges can see that I am a good student that is trying her best. My classmates help me more than they know, and I to them. Social skills is a big step towards anyone's career. It is a big step into life from high school. I will continue to converse among my peers and me, and my classmates will look back and thank each other.

Why did you choose me to write a recommendation? What insights can I offer regarding your potential and ability of success in college?

Although your high school experience is coming to an end, it is imperative that you continue to perform well in school. Honestly, your performance in high school will determine your readiness for college. On the contrary, it is evident that high school instructors tend to hinder students by making it easy for them to receive decent grades. Thus, it is important that students learn how to challenge themselves because the college life requires a large amount of studying and preparation. The students who do not have great studying habits may find it difficult to succeed in college. However, students who truly prepare themselves for the college lifestyle will quickly adjust to their new environments.

When entering high school, every student knows they need to find their niche. At the very beginning of my freshman year I decided to go out for drama club by auditioning for the fall play. My brother had just been the lead in the fall play the past year and suggested that I should try out for drama. I decided to give drama club a shot and little did I know where that would lead me.

What do I want to be when I am done with high school? I want to be an entrepreneur, owning my own bakery. I have reached my goals of graduating high school after all my trials and tribulations. I have been homeless for most of my high school year and I could benefit a lot with the moolah spot scholarship. I deserve o win because Ive worked hard to go to college and to not got because of limited funds would devaste me and others. Mostly my family memebers. I want my family to no longer have to struggle with rent, mortgate and car notes. I want to go to school for pastry baking arts, graduate and sell a lot of baked goods to open my own little

Another expectation that I have is sports I expect to play high school football and baseball. There are so many more expectations that I have for my freshman year at Calaveras High School.

Many of us will enter new chapters in life whether we like it or not. The transition from highschool to college can have a big impact on an individual’s life. Though, we have the choice of going to college or joining the workforce. Many fresh, high school graduates don’t know what to do with their lives leaving, them in confusion on what should they do. In the culinary industry, 3 professions I am interested in are Pastry Chef, Research Chef, and Food Stylist. Although, the profession I would choose would be Pastry Chef because

Have you ever had an essay due in three weeks and thought to yourself, “I’ve got time. I’ll just do it later”? Does staying up studying for an exam until 3 am in the morning sound familiar? How about running to class because you were working on a project until the very last second? If any of these unfortunate situations sound relatively familiar, you have endured the horrendous event of procrastination at some point of your jam-packed life. The one secret that nobody is enforcing on your young life is the extreme power of time management. In Chapter 5, the topics we address are as follows:
