Personal Statement: Strong Pride For The Montbello Community

By joining Family Career and Community Leaders of America I feel as though i am serving a very good part in the community by helping others. The help is then represented by the school and i have a sense of integrity by priding myself in the achievements that i have made in Conner High School.

The teachers helped me with so much. My life total changed. I had more confidence and I began to believe in myself more. Catonsville High School made me believe I had a brighter future than I thought i would ever had. Especially because mostly everyone doubted me and told me everything that i couldn’t do. Every since i joined Catonsville i saw everything

All throughout high school, I have dreamed of college. I dreamed of being able to decide what classes I wanted to take and I was excited about finally being able to do what I have always wanted to do: music education. That is what led me to Montclair State University. Aside from the outstanding reputation Montclair has as an institution for learning, my Band Director, an alumni, has never spoken a single negative word regarding Montclair. When I talk to any alumni, they talk about Montclair like if they got the chance, they would do it all over again, that level of love for Montclair makes me want to be a part of it even more. Dreaming of having the Montclair State University diploma hanging in my classroom one day. Wanting the degree will only get me so far in following my dream of being a Red Hawk; to help me on my

Opportunities I have been lucky enough to have. Currently I am president of The National Honor Society, Environmental Club, the Yearbook editor and Debate captain as well as a commissioner for the Bergen County Status of Women. All of which I treasure with my heart. In each and every one lays my blood, sweat, and tears. Those hallways have seen me endeavour some of my greatest successes and my even greater failures. But that's just the surface of what this school symbolizes and represents. Yes, I love participating in every single activity I do and prosper in, but it's beyond that. It's about walking through the front doors in the morning, opening my locker, and Mr. Colarusso announcing the designated block letter for the day even though regardless he knows I'll ask again at least three more times. It's about truly knowing my teachers, my coaches, and my advisors. As much as they have seen me mature, they have also been on the journey with me. It's watching Ms. Barrow's be promoted from Guidance Counselor to Vice Principal and still be so dedicated to my college

Thinking back through my time at Dekalb High School, I sit back in awe wondering how I made it this far. I sit back and wonder and remember the good memories, bad memories, and the unforgettable people I have met. Its crazy to think I made it this far. Its awesome to think how I’ve changed as a person from a immature freshman, to a trying finding myself as sophmore, to being a Junior and getting with the program, and now a Senior getting ready to graduate. I truly have learned life lessons, and truly gained accomplishments in my time here.

My feelings of doubt and uncertainty completely dissipated as I found my place within the Idaho State University community. I joined the Sport Science and Physical Education Department’s club called S.H.E.P.E.R.D. club and became the club’s secretary. I became more familiar with my professors, and discovered extraordinary friendships. It took a lot of uneasy feelings, and tough decisions, but I finally found my place at the university both academically and personally. As college students, we change every day. We are discovering and learning and realizing things about ourselves we never truly knew before. And sometimes that means that the place we thought was the right decision really isn’t. So I don’t think the question is ‘why did I choose Idaho State University?’ it is ‘why did I stay at Idaho State

I’ve been at Barrington Middle School for three years. It is the place where I transitioned from a child bright-eyed and ready for the world, to the older, if not wiser young adult, that I am today. I’ve been here through the good times and the bad as I went from year to year. I am leaving this institution of knowledge more prepared because of AVID. I am leaving ready for my life ahead.

Throughout my two years attending Oakland High School, there have been many impactful educational experiences. The choices that I have made during the last two years here have shaped me into the significant leader I am today.

I have enjoyed my time at Mapleton Jr. High so much that I felt like I was losing a part of myself when I left the school today. Each of those students made a real difference in my life and were an example to me of what seventh grade can be like. As Mrs. Low announced my leaving today after our “academic social,” they collectively moaned “Nooooooo...” and then clapped and thanked me for the help I gave them. One young man even asked if he could shake my hand. I had not thought when I first arrived that they would ever respond to my absence in such a way. It reminds me of when I was graduating high school. I went to a small school and I had made an effort to not leave any ends open, yet I felt like I was leaving a part of me behind when I

With my parents being founders of Father McGivney Catholic High School, it has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents have been advertising and talking about the school since I was very young. They were upset that there was not a nearby Catholic school for myself and my siblings to attend when we finished school at St. Mary’s. So, like the go-getters that my parents are, they took matters into their own hands and began to start a campaign for a brand new high school in our area to be made a reality by the time my sister finished her years at St. Mary’s. I love attending Father McGivney Catholic High School and I thank God as much as I can for giving me this opportunity of a great education.

I don’t know where to start. I’ve been at St. Rita School for a whole decade and it felt like way longer. I know all the friends have today because of this school. The teachers have been such an impact n my life since I was three years old. I could never find words to thank them for all that they have done for me. Each and every teacher has made a different impact on my life, such as helping me with my faith to teaching me how to solve for x. It’s amazing to think of how many memories I’ve made here. Ever since I came to St. Rita School I’ve grown in my faith abundantly. All of my teachers have helped me with my faith. I know I will have support going through my high school transitions but it will never be the same

During the last three years of my attendance here at Mt. Edgecumbe High School, I could not think of a teacher who has influenced me more than yourself. You’ve taught me to not only appreciate music, but to appreciate life. I’ve spent a total of four semesters in your Choir class and one semester in your Accounting class. We’ve traveled to two music festivals through Choir class, which are two of my most memorable experiences here in MEHS. I’ve also been apart of the MEHS award-winning Radio Club under your supervision. You’ve certainly witnessed my development as a maturing adult. It would be an honor to have a letter of recommendation from a teacher like yourself. Thank you for making my high school years enjoyable. If you choose to write

Being apart of this incredible organization as not only a student but in a leadership position has taught me commitment, dedication, time management and patience. Looking back on the time I spent detached from Reynolds High School, I feel enormously grateful. Having my academic career placed entirely into my hands rocked me to my core and was initially overwhelming, but now as a senior in high school, I am able to see how greatly I benefited from having those responsibilities placed upon me.

Starting in sixth grade, my classmates seldom varied. My class sizes were small, I knew all the members of administration, lunch ladies, and bus drivers (most by a first name basis). Because of this, I felt like I was a part of the community and I enjoyed that. I was popular, well liked, and had a wide range of friends; all in all, I liked high school. Choosing to leave this setting and going to Pathways was a decision that surprised many people. I am enjoying my time at MWCC but I do miss the sense of community spirit, familiarity, and long term friendships that my high school offered. Oakmont resembled a small village and now I do not have that at MWCC. However, that is not to say that I do not enjoy the change I’ve made. I am ready to transition to a more mature academic setting. I would welcome more general student body classes and less Pathway classes; I feel ready to mix with older student and have a variety of experiences that that setting would

I used to allow it to eat at me, but now I have became the strong, independent young woman I am proud to be. I have yet to move back to my mother’s house because of my friends. I have came thus far, and I will not give up this close to graduation, even though my mom is begging me to live with her. At one point in time, I was between houses, and different friends would take me in like family. One in particular, Emily, her and her family treated me like royalty and loved me to death. I love my friends like family and I strive to graduate from Thomas County Central, even when a better life is waiting for me at the lake.
