Personal Statement Of Anna Tseliuba

A few things that have influenced myself as I am today are my family history and my environment. Growing up, my classes were always fairly easy to me, so naturally I always had a higher than average grade. But when things got harder I started to work harder to maintain my grades. I always felt so accomplished when my mother and father would brag about my grades and intelligence and I wanted to always feel that way. My brother never applied himself in school and I would see how disappointed they were in him and I knew that I only wanted to make them proud. By the time I got to high school I had figured out that no one in my family besides aunts or uncles that were married into the family had ever gone to college and from that point on it was my next big goal to achieve.

Annika’s natural propensity towards academic success has always placed me in a position of comparison; though three years younger, I would strive to excel as she did. Even if I couldn’t reach her level, the pressure motivated me to do my best, and her assuring and calm demeanor would remind me that there’s always another shot. Learning from her habits and attitude gave me the guidance to succeed on my own and be proud of my accomplishments; my inductance into National Honor Society proved to me that the pressure of having someone to look up to can be a supportive force rather than a debilitating grievance. Similarly, Jaineel’s natural athletic ability in every sport he pursued from basketball to karate pushed me to perform my best in tennis. His determination to live by a schedule in order to see progress gave me the foresight to not give up when I wanted to throw in the towel, and his love for sports reminds me of why I continue to play tennis even today.  Living with 8 other perspectives to a situation is a true blessing. If there is ever a dilemma in my life, everyone will share his or her opinion but support me no matter which direction I choose. Growing up with my family has definitely been a unique experience, but I would never change it for the world. My home gives me strength, assurance, stability, laughter, and love as I wake up to 8 people banging on my bedroom door every morning ready to

My name is Adrianna Thomas and I am from Livingston, Alabama. I grew up in small town where

Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right now a ambitious and hardworking student. The problem shaped me up because I know that I have to work for what I want and to not depend on no one, this made me more independent. Also, I learned from my mistake and try to do better.

My interests and passions supplement my education in high school in a variety of ways. Show choir, musicals, plays, chorus, band, jazz band, and so much more allowed me to use my creativity everyday in multiple ways. All of these arts opportunities added to the excitement of coming to school, which naturally helped me succeed in my academic pursuits. Not only do I enjoy high school, but many weekend days have been spent waiting to go back to school so that I can sing again, or play my trumpet again, or just learn something really interesting.

During my schooling experience, I had many positive experiences. Some of them would have to be getting female athlete of the year my junior and senior year, getting MVP of the volleyball and basketball team, and graduating with a 4.0 GPA. I would not have been able to accomplish any of this without the support of my family, teachers, friends, and coaches. My family gave me finical support so I could completely focus on my academics. They also encouraged me all the way through. My teachers also wanted what was best for me and they helped me in any way possible. My friends were always there with me through the thick and thin no matter if it was homework stress, or there from me after a rough game. My coaches were supportive in my academic and with my sports. I had some of the most encouraging coaches through my schooling years. Having all these wondering people in my life as a student made me realize how blessed I truly am. It made me want to strive to do better because I knew I was making them proud. I would not have been able to accomplish all that I did without

At a young age I learned thanks to my parents that hard work pays off… only if you are putting in all your effort. Coming to the United States and beginning school were some of the hardest things that I have been through in my life the language barrier was one of the toughest things to surpass but by having people along the way to support me helped me thrive . Being supported by my parents teachers and peers has shaped me into the person I am today; not only do they set standards for me but I set standards for myself and try my best to make all those who have been with me along the way proud, just like Collins describes when he speaks of the thoughts of a successful CEO after leaving his company and seeing the great thing he has transformed a once failing business into. That CEO has not only done something good for himself but also for his companions who once worked alongside him in order to make the company thrive and continue growing after his departure. I can see myself in him because being the first in my family to attend college I am setting an example for the younger people such as my siblings and cousins making them more eager to learn and continue on to have a college education in the

"Education is the key to success" my father always said. This is a motivational quote that will always stick with me because of the impact it has made in my life. Even before my school days I watched my parents whip my siblings into shape to push them to succeed beyond expectations. My siblings worked exceptionally hard in school which paid off when they received awards and recognition. This pushed me to follow in their footsteps and lead me to do well in school and to have a driven mindset. Being a very humble person, I always had friends of different upbringings and futures. Good companions of mine who went to school and did well tend to be better off financially and emotionally. Seeing others progress always and still does makes me want to do well in every educational aspect I am in. I insist on seeing all the work I have put in and will continue to put in pay off. When I use this drive of education to complete college I wish to find the job of my

I think I am the person that I am now because of my mother, my grandmother, and the teachers who helped me during my whole life. I never had a lot of real friends, but the ones that I had where a lot special to me, and they also helped me in a lot of things. I was known for being a little lazy, but really smart. My only problem was that I used to dedicate more time in my interests that in everything else. My teachers helped me a lot during elementary school, because I was failing the school year in first grade, but thank for them I finish being 1st place during 3 consecutive years. I always follow the best steps that my mom show

I was just sitting there, in a dark room, not knowing what to do. Consequently, I frequently felt like a failure. Made me petrified, frightened, terrified that I was not approaching to be able to escape, and that I’d just be a homeless man. Because I believed that I could never find happiness, nor ever have found passion in anything. This consequently made me begin to envision that I was going to become a failure. I have always had the belief that art and graphic design were the attributes that I was passionate about, only to turn out that it was not as effortless as I once thought. Me being an ignorant person, I did not take into consideration that it is an extremely competitive field to be in. I just didn’t have the knowledge about what to do at this point. However, little did I realize, the fad that I had the utmost passion for were right in my ears: music.

One extracurricular activity that had the greatest impact on my life and gave me the best learning experience is participating in Hamilton Wilayat Youth Soccer Club. Coaching and teaching the kids to play soccer really taught me more about leadership , responsibility, and communication. Taking responsibility for the kids and making sure no one gets injured taught me a lot about being attentive. Now I am more responsible not just watching over the kids but also at school with my education. I make sure everything is on time and organized like scheduling games for the soccer club. Watching the kids progress and have fun is inspiring. Making sleepovers for the kids and planning it with the other team leaders also takes a lot of effort to make

I am a mature student currently studying foundation Level 3 Art & Design. Being back in education is a challenge but i am enjoying being challenged. Making myself look deeper into the things i create and why i create them. I have enjoyed experimenting with

I have learned a lot about success from my daughters. For example, I watched them learn to walk. They weeble, they wobble and fall down. But no matter how many times they fall, they get up and try again. It has taught me that no matter what obstacles occur, if I just continue to try I can and will succeed.

studied various art mediums to explore creative talents. In my junior year, I decided to

There are many people that have the strongest impact in your lives. They are your role model and you want to be like them. These can be your family members, friends, or people that you just see on T.V. Whoever they might be they impacted your life because of want you learned from them. One person that had the strongest impact that made me who I am today is my mom. My mom had impacted my life and made me who I am today because she taught how to treat other how I want to be treated, don't judge other people because of their looks, and if you don't try you won't succeed. These are only the few lesson that I learned from my mom as a kid.
