Personal Statement: Starting A New School

Education is a long-term investment. We, as students, work hard to acquire knowledge and to hone our skills so that we may use them one day. The effort we put into a single assignment should be considered as both for that specific assignment and for our rounding as complete, educated individuals. And with this mindset, students should be motivated even more to put more effort and hard work into academics, with the goal of bettering themselves for the future and advancing their prospects as individuals. And with this hard work and effort will come progress, and this progress should be reflected in the grading—not necessarily on individual assignments, but on the student’s education as a

Young people continue to work hard to get good grades in high school in order for them to get accepted and enter a college. Getting good grades throughout high school is not the only thing to be worried about; they must also begin to think about the ways of coming up with money to afford their education. Education is the building block to all success stories. Setting goals and high expectations can be achieved through pursuing an educational path.

All my life I have been a lazy person, doing just enough to get by. Most of the time, in high school, I was content with just a “C”. The only time I wasn’t, was if it was a class I liked, and I paid attention to. If this was the case, I could have received a 99% on a test and been dissatisfied. But, for the rest of my classes, which were most of my classes, that I didn’t like, I never paid attention to or did homework, and I still managed to do well on tests. So basically I didn’t do anything except take tests and I still got satisfactory grades. In school I was so lazy that there could have been a project due worth about 20% of the final grade and I still wouldn’t do it.

Therefore, students that choose to flunk in school is a bad thing. The reason why, because they find so many excuses to fail when they can’t try it out first before saying “it’s too hard.” It won’t hurt them to ask for help instead of trying to run away from the issues. It all begins with participating in class and study until you get it memorize. Sometimes it is difficult to get the hang of whatever the case be

My freshman year I joined many extracurricular activities, and some of my grades started to show it. Four and a half weeks in, I had a part of the school play, I was a marcher in the marching band show for that year, and had golf practice almost every day. Each day when I finally got home, I took a shower, and then went to sleep; hardly any studying was done. A quarter of the semester passed, and my grades were below par. After realizing how bad my grades actually were, I studied thirty minutes each day. I fit in 30 minutes after play practice; while I ate before

For a long time, I've been struggling with my grades and keeping up with my school work. In middle school, I had a lot of low grades and did not truly seem to care. My mom decided to assign me to a tutor every week to help bring my grades up, until halfway through my freshman year when I stopped due to the fact I didn't need the tutoring anymore. I was told that I was doing well enough that I could handle it on my own, which motivated me to start working diligently on my own. I was an average student at that point, I had mostly A's and B's with a C or two, but I hoped to prove that I could do more. I had to find a new way of dealing with my study and learning habits in order to efficiently work hard and achieve the grades I desired. My goal

During my sophomore year, a new and positive change started unfolding for me. I started to work with my teacher Ms. Kaput after school in order to improve my grades. I started getting better grades on my homework as well as on my quizzes and tests. I became impressed and interested with math and that motivated me to study hard in math. In addition to Math, my grades improved in other classes I was

From the time I was in about fourth or fifth grade I began to dislike certain subjects in school. I loathed everything about writing assignments. I didn’t write at home before that the thought of writing for myself never really occurred to me. I hated the deadlines the length requirements and I just tried to get them done and had no intention of writing well because I told myself I was a bad writer. I have never really known whether or not I truly am a bad writer. I continued these habits of just writing something down to get a decent grade all throughout school. I usually got an okay grade because I followed the prompt closely and did the minimum amount of work for the paper. I didn’t start the assignments until either the night before it was due. As I got older I would type the paper on my phone in school that day then print it off in the library moments before class. I continued writing in that awful ritual of complacency until the end of 11th grade. We had to write a paper on The Great Gatsby a book that I never read. I read couple of notes on the internet and then wrote the paper and never reread it or edited it all. I did my usual routine and followed the prompt and turned my paper in. When I got my paper back I was shocked to find out I didn’t get even a half decent grade I was given a zero. I went to my teacher after class to speak with him about the grade and he told me I got the grade that I deserved. He said I was lazy and never tried to truly work in

I wasn’t sure what would become of me. It was peculiar, really. What was I supposed to expect? I was beginning a new school for the first time, and no high school movie could have prepared me for the years ahead. Come June, however, I beyond a doubt realized what was to become of me.

Many high school students, including soon-to-be high school graduates, underestimate how crucial it is to be educated and informed on this subject matter. Unfortunately, teenagers today don’t take what teachers, counselors, and parents say seriously in regards to their education. Not knowing that this will define their placement in college, therefore, affecting their future. Your Grade-Point-Average (GPA) will reflect how well you performed academically throughout high school. The higher your GPA, the better chance you have to receive scholarships and government funding that will help pay your tuition and decrease your debt in the future. That is why we must teach on how making an effort and working on your grades is very important. This will define who you become in the future, what college you are eligible to attend, how much debt you will incur,

A students success can determine how the rest of their life will play out. If a student is unsuccessful and gets bad grades it will give them a harder life. Adults with an A average from highschool

If kids get good grades, they will be less likely to drop out of school, then kids that don’t because they would be motivated.

We just moved to a new house and, we're at a new school. Hopefully, the people at the school are nice. If so then I'll ignore them, or try to help them, I don’t know which. I guess only time will tell.

This also taught me that it is acceptable to fail, as long as you focus on succeeding the next time. Demonstrated by my later passing grade, I changed my study habits to focus on getting a better grade, and I got the result I was hoping for. Hard work and determination led me to be able to say that I did it; that I

As a student, I have always struggled in school and never paid much attention in my classes. I never had very much motivation to go to school. When I was at school, I never listened to what the teachers were teaching. I never really paid attention and did my work. Instead I spent my time in class doodling on my papers. Throughout all of my schooling, I cannot remember a single year where I have missed less than twenty days of school due to me
