My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect or who I was going to meet. I was never the type of girl to embrace new situations, I hated change and I wasn’t very good with meeting new people. I figured once I got to high school it would be my chance to start all over, turn the page in my book of life, and flip over a new leaf. I wanted to finally be the girl that fit in with everyone. I had imagined myself going to parties with big groups of my new friends, having sleepovers and doing all of the things cool high school kids normally do. I was certain that my high school career would be just like one of those really corny teen movies and I would live happily ever after with the homecoming crown and the boy of my

“What! No! Why!?” Without a doubt, these words have been exalted by many candidates during the competitive transfer process at UW-Madison. Although I was denied transfer admission, I cannot but respect the decision I was given. However, I believe that UW-Madison has not seen the full extent of me. I would like to provide this letter with additional merit to display that I am stronger than earlier evidenced in my Fall of 2016 application.

We have all pondered of the day we will enter “the big doors” to the real world. The anxious anxiety will inevitably be flowing throughout our bodies and our surrounding peers. The rigorous classes we look to succeed in, will only provide an outlook on the challenges we may face as adults. Are we, as adolescents of society, gaining a slight glimpse of those in control of our valuable education during our college lives? Are those in power manipulating the progress of some individuals looking to reach their dreams? In particular, well-versed and skillful athletes are contemplating difficult life decisions, that in turn, affect their future in becoming professional players of one such sport. It seems as though many college athletes are being scammed

Have you ever wondered what you wish you knew about others? Well if you have you've probably had others wonder about you. Especially teachers, it's hard to tell them face-to-face, but I feel that writing is much easier to get a point or thought across. I wish that my teachers knew that I struggle with staying focused in class because I have insomnia, anxiety, and a tendency to be distracted by the smallest of sounds and movements.

If I didn’t state the fact middle school was one of my unfavorable years, then most likely you will understand after reading this essay. Going through the teenager stage is probably the hardest life experience I have gone through till this present day. It’s the years where the teen finds their inner person. For, example talents, advanced classes, grades, friends. For one I wasn’t smart

While at family events, or social gatherings does it seem like the first 3 questions you are asked to stay the same for everyone you talk to. Starting off with, “how are you doing?”, “What colleges are you interested in?”, and lastly “What are you planning on majoring in?” I don 't know what i want to eat for dinner tonight, let alone what I wanna do for the rest of my life. Almost as if the only thing people care about anymore is college, and what major you pick. It seems to be common knowledge today that college is the only correct answer anymore. I believe it 's important for you to further your education whether that be through a trade school, learning on the job, military, or college.

Growing up I was basically an only child; all my siblings were older than me and had already started their careers and I had just been born. As I started growing up my parents realized that I was not like my other siblings, I tended to be very OCD, quite and very smart. I took these qualities and dedicated them to my education as I grew up. Throughout all my years of schooling I never got below a B average, I was always on the honor roll and exceled in all my courses. Until this day, I still maintain the same characteristics, I have taken great pride in my achievements and believe that throughout everything I have been through I still maintained a very positive person and never let my personal life get in the way of my academics.

The “Barack Obama 2004 Democratic National Convention Speech”, “The Necklace”, and the “Scarlet Ibis” all convey one message; with great power comes great responsibility. Along with this we all can rise to great heights, but it will take lots of hard work. With your success you can choose how you want to use that power. And with this you can also crumble to nothing if you take that power you have and miss use it.

I almost forgot how being in middle school was. The beginning wasn't anything memorable. Only the homework that was given to me, gave me headaches, made me want to curl up in a ball, and made me just want to forget about all the struggles. As life progressively moves, I started to notice that people were looking at me weirdly. The people I had slight relations with just looked at me with such deceit. I am not a person that can handle so much pressure at once. It started to make me think, “Why are they looking at me?”, “What have I done?”, or “ Please stop.”

Ever since I can remember I have been the child who would get up on a chair in a room full of guests, and sing a song, or make a congratulatory speech. Throughout the years in primary and secondary school, I have always been in the first row. I was that student with perfect grades whose work everyone hoped to cheat off. Since early childhood, relatives would point at me telling their kids, “Why are you not more like her?” My pedestal has been raised higher than I have ever comfortable being. The pressure to perform is very high. When you have a reputation for being smart, many people assume that you can solve any problems that comes up and tackles every challenging obstacle in life.

I was always praised for my academic prowess. All throughout my middle and high school career, I was told by teachers, parents, fellow students, and even friends that I was academically inclined. Teachers predicted that I would be valedictorian. Teachers would point out my straight A’s or how hard I worked and they would tell the kids that they should follow my lead. The kids would always ask me why I worked so hard or studied because I was just going to an A anyway. They never realized that in doing so that more pressure was added to try and surpass the bar that I had set. They never understood why I carried a book around with me or why I did more work than required, sometimes work that was above my grade level. They never

On August 26, was one of the days that U.W Madison was opening up and letting kids move and sign up for classes for the year. College has been around even before America was even a country, allowing kids to get a higher education to get their dream job with young adults moving out of their homes to stay at school for four to eight years. Sometimes taking several hours or the full day to move them every year. If you have a sibling or family member moving off to college it’s always hard to move them out. We have to ask how many kids are planning on going to college? Several kids want to go, but with the cost of college undeniably raising, fewer kids are going to be able to afford it. Taylor Hurst an eighteen-year-old, has been accepted to the U.W. See was very excited to be accepted. She was expected because of all the college credits given to her though Spanish class and many more through the Kimberly High School in Wisconsin.

However, about seven years later, I stared at the beautiful library thinking on how I would never be able to go. My dreams were crushed, and the school I looked so forward to going to was not feasible. I felt like a failure. I sat near a turned off Drumheller Fountain late at night reflecting on how I failed to reach my goal. My ADHD prevented me from not only doing well in school but it started affecting even the things I enjoyed to do. I couldn’t even finish a book without being distracted. Add on top of that was my brother needed my help because of his epilepsy. Many times before a final test in class, I’d spend the night in a hospital with him. To top everything off, I had to question who I was as I realized I was gay. I felt like I had to hide myself from the world for fear of

“Opportunity is missed most by people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work” As Edison said any opportunity given will always take work to achieve, but right now we have we have a great opportunity to make the school a better place. We have already fixed up the gym and built a new football field and a new track. Isn’t it about time we get a real stage for our drama and music departments? First you will hear a melody that will explain all the new opportunities a stage will provide to the students. Than you will the financial cost of the stage acted out for you. Finally it will all be put together for the final show and you will see where the stage will be build and what the stage will include.
