Personal Statement : High School

Personal Statement Have you experienced a climate that is so dry that all that you see immediately in front of you is dirt and when you open your mouth, you can taste the dust? What I describe is my hometown. I’m a Chinese student born in Lanzhou. Lanzhou is a remote provincial capital that is full of dust due to the enormous sand storms that occur there. In Lanzhou, we have to weather the storm. The education I received, the support from my family, and the local weather condition made me strong

This is Mary McLeod Bethune School of North Lawndale in Chicago, and I am the new principle this year. Due to the poor economy around the school, things have been left to the way side, but I pray help give some hope back. Students are set back and 8th grade for some are their big celebration but I want to see them graduate high school. I want to be sitting in the audience at high school graduation and go those are my kids. Some issues at Bethune are based in the school makeup and location, teachers

High School High school is going to be awesome,and maybe bad.I will be happy to be in high school,and I’ll also be dreading it.I have mixed emotions about why I am looking forward to,and what I’m dreading. First of all,I am going to talk about the classes.In high school,there is a thing called credit.I am dreading it because if I fail a class I have to do that again with the next grades class.Next are the teachers.I am looking forward to seeing the teachers because maybe I will not get a

Being involved in school, not only shows a well-rounded student but a student who loves being part of something bigger. That is the real reason behind my passion for helping others. School clubs and leadership opportunities were the way to go when I entered high school. High school was terrifying enough as a freshmen and not having any social skills made it that more difficult. I needed to find a club that I knew I would enjoy and would allow me to interact more with my class. I decided to pick a

In high school all freshman 's were taken on a trip upstate to Camp Ramapo, of course everyone was excited to go, little did we know we were all in for a surprise. Upon arrival we all realized that our cellphones had no service we all thought it would be a momentary situation, turns out it was not. We would spend 3 nights and 4 days disconnected from the world, no Facebook, at the time aim, or text messaging. I remember we were all shocked and mad at the thought of not being able to use our phones

In my upcoming high school years I hope to try new things and push my comfort zone, strengthen my academic abilities, and make new friends, as well as strengthen my existing friendships. I look forward to attending Villa Maria Academy next year for high school. I am excited for all the new high school experiences, from the increased responsibility to the new freedoms gained. I would also like to attend Villa because I value my faith. Villa Maria Academy, founded in the same tradition of the IHM sisters

Personal Statement Waking up to the smell of a traditional Dominican breakfast every day has made me appreciate where my family comes from and how hard my mother has worked to keep a roof over my head. My mother came from the Dominican Republic looking for a new beginning with only a high school degree. Through her struggles to build a better life for all of us, I have gained a deep appreciation for hard work and dedication. All her sacrifices are paying off as my sister is the first generation

Personal Statement My brother is one of my best best friends. Growing up I idolized him and I always wanted to do what he did. Weather it was playing basketball in the front yard or wrestling around being kids. He is 7 years older than me but growing up that never mattered because although he did bully and tees me like a normal older brother he always came around to helping me or defending me. The gap in age wasn't a problem we got along as if we were the same age ever since i could walk. When

freshmen by using my skills, qualities, and experiences to help their transition into a new beginning. Graduating 8th grade and transitioning into high school is usually an intimidating process. Wings is a great opportunity to introduce yourself to high school, and it gives you the opportunity to meet the teachers and staff, students from other schools, and familiarize yourself to the campus. I would like to be a Wings peer mentor to help the incoming freshmen adapt to their new surroundings and make

I graduated high school in 1998 and never went to college after high school because I didn't have the confidence in myself to attend. During the next couple decades, I held a series of low-wage jobs such as a fast food worker, grounds keeping cleaning bathrooms at an amusement park, general office type work like reception and data entry and even a stint in retail Never had any idea what my calling was supposed to be. I know what it's like to be poorly trained for a job. While going through
