Personal Statement: My Accomplishments Of A Senior In High School

My last few years of high school, I have thrived on challenging myself academically. I will graduate this May with not only a high school diploma but also twenty-two college credits. My senior year I completed nine college credits the first semester and I am currently taking six college

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 that I experienced at Lower Villa, can help me to maintain my strong relationship with God.

I am a current high school Senior at New Palestine High School. I will be graduating this May with an Academic Honors Diploma. I am involved in many activities including student council, football cheer, basketball cheer, competitive cheer, best buddies, show choir, national honor society, helping hands, youth group, church choir, gymnastics, gardening club, Spanish honor society and last but not least 4-H. Some of my hobbies include singing, dancing, cooking, tumbling, and spending time with family and friends. Some of my academic achievements I have achieved over the years are the all A award for athletes. I have also gone to the academic banquet for having a 3.7 or higher for two years. I have also done many things within my community.

I have achieved many accomplishments in my lifetime, but there is one in particular that really sticks out the most. Being on the academic team is my biggest accomplishment. I have played baseball my whole life, and I’m sure most people think of me as a jock. This essay will show that I am more than just an athlete, I’m an academic too.

I have prepared myself for college by taking my academics very seriously and understanding its importance on the outcome of life. During my sixth grade year, I was invited to attend the North Carolina Math and Science Education Network at Elizabeth City State University. As a senior, I am still enrolled in this program and it has been a true enhancement to my academics as I have been selected to attend the State wide Competition every year and have been awarded a placement in Science and Math. My enrollment in college classes beginning my junior year in high school has helped me with increasing my writing and reading experiences. Honors English classes forecasted my development of a strong ethic in this subject as well as excelling in the required standardized testing for English. My Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores also show my hard work and dedication to school and my coursework.

Throughout most of my high school career, I looked down on community colleges and believed that they were only for those who didn’t care about school or who hadn’t managed to get into a 4-year university. I admired those who went to schools like UT, Baylor, or A&M and thought that I would be one of them upon graduating. However, towards the end of my senior year, that all changed. Before continuing my education, I wanted to not only explore other career options, but also prepare myself mentally and academically. As a smaller, less expensive, and closer alternative to 4-year universities, Lone Star College offered the optimal environment.

There Is no real success only the accomplishments in life that leaves you in total restful serenity. Where everything in life is peaceful, yet the only way to get to that point is if everyone works together and listen. In thirty years when I look back on my life, I wish to see a world that has grown to where the people learn and teach each other. However, we must start with ourselves first then teach that to the new generations to come. When that one person takes that one step forward the rest will follow. So, I will start off with what I would do to help this along in the accomplishments. I wish to see in my life when I look back in thirty years.

One of my most cherished thoughts is that all goals are in grasp if you can work hard enought and long enought you can achieve them. I also believe with dedication any person can reach what they dreamed about.

A special accomplishment of mine that I believe sets me apart from my fellow applicants is that throughout my high school experience I have always been enrolled in AP and online college courses. By doing this I have been getting high school credits and college credits at the same time, so as some would say I’m “killing two birds with one stone.” I believe that this is a great accomplishment because while my fellow applicants were taking the easy way and only doing what was expected of them every year I wasn’t; instead, I was at home challenging myself to do more than what was expected of me. Many high school students don’t study on the weekends; instead, they go out to parties and they go and hang out with their friends I was not one of these

I have a numerous amount of achievements through High School, Community College and now at A&M. I was an Early College High School student in Dallas County at Cedar Hill Collegiate High School. That experience helped me to earn my Associates Degree before I even got my High School diploma. While in High School I was named to the President's Honor Roll list 4 times at my Community College. I am currently awarded the Greater Texas Foundation Scholarship at A&M for my test score of 33 on the ACT as well as my Early College High School background. Thanks to being exposed to college level work at a young age, this past spring I was awarded the Dean's Honor Award for achieving a GPA of 4.0. The experience with Greater Texas Foundation has opened

Starting high school, I was not a perfect student. However, over the past three years, it is clear that my grades have drastically improved. Whether it was adjusting to AP classes or balancing extracurricular activities and homework, I became proficient at handling the twists and turns of high school. By smoothing out my rough edges, I have become a student with distinct goals and a strong work ethic. Having experienced both low and high ends of academic success, my abilities and mindset can be molded to any situation. I am confident that I have the talent, ambition, and the adaptive abilities to become part of a guaranteed

At IU, I plan to not only find what I want to major in, but also make a difference. Volunteering is something I love to do, so either joining a sorority or a community service club is something I know I will do while attending this school. Another reason I knew I wanted

One of the most unique traits of Central High School is its commitment to provide a well- rounded education in a variety of academic fields. As a student with a wide range of interests in both the sciences and arts, I see this institution as one that has the potential to give me the most forward-focused experience as a high school student. Not only does it offer all the resources and support expected of an exemplary establishment, it also exposes one to impressively diverse academics, individuals, and extracurricular activities. After much deliberation, I have decided Central to be one of the top high schools I will consider in my application.

My high school involvement has been as broad and developed as i could make it thus far. Throughout my time at Putnam City North I have played football, basketball, golf, tennis, ran cross country, and am a member of the swim team. I served as class president sophomore year, and am now an executive board member of our S.U.N. (Students United (at) North) council which is a much larger, school-wide student council that caters to the entire school’s events rather than just the events of my class. I also am a junior representative officer for National Honor Society, a member of the Spanish Club, and was Putnam City North’s recipient and representative for the Hugh O’Brian award. My S.U.N. council and National Honor Society council are currently

I know I will be successful in college because of the commitment I have given to my academics, and believe my grades reflect my dedication. For two semesters in a row, I have received a Certificate of Excellence for having a grade point average of 4.0 or higher in both the spring and fall semesters of 2016. In my final term of high school, I am working to achieve that same recognition. Additionally, I feel learning is not just about the time spent in school, but what happens outside the classroom. The diverse extra-curricular activities I have participated in range from athletic teams, to volunteerism, to leadership responsibilities. I pride myself in experiencing a plethora of adventures that have helped me mature as a student, athlete, and
