I attended Mercy Catholic High school for my first two years of high school, but because I saw my mother struggling to pay for my tuition, I decided to attend a public school for my last two years. When I graduated I received the gold merit scholarship at Coppin State University. I decided to take advantage of the summer program that it offered called the Summer Academic Success Program, SASA. Through this program I began taking rigorous college courses immediately after high school graduation. I earned a 4.0 and 7 college credits during SASA.
I have been on the Dean’s list every semester so far. My GPA is currently 3.786. I joined the student poetry slam team. Then, I put my writing skills to the test and joined the Student magazine. I was
I believe Marist is a good match for me because it offers many it offers an excellent business program. The student activities that are offered are another reason why I’d like to go to Marist. I’m interested in the business club especially and by being involved in that club I believe it would lead me in successful path in my career. The trips the clubs takes to New York City interest me because by seeing the companies their I’d have more knowledge of what real life business in the career I choose looks like. The average classroom sizes are relatively small, which not many colleges or universities offer and I think that it very important in order to get the best education possible. The small size provides me with a better learning opportunity
A lot of people set a challenge to improve. By setting a challenge, individuals work hard, asking for help and advice from experienced advisors. Challenges motivate people and keep them working hard. The most significant challenge I have faced was getting a full scholarship into the private school, American Heritage High School in Plantation. This challenge was crucial for me because I came to United States in the middle of sixth grade. I went to Falcon Cove Middle School, and the school placed me in regular classes within the ESOL program. The ESOL program is a program designed for foreign students who do not speak English well. I got out of the program once I passed the placement test to the Cambridge program. In middle school, I won a variety
When I was nine I told my mother I was going to be the first female Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and since then my passion for law and politics has only grown. I enjoy being in thick of things and using my energy to move ideas forward. I love persuading others on topics that I see will make our community better for all of us. Participating in activities and events such as Buckeye Girls State, and the National Speech and Debate tournament have broaden my horizons immensely. However, something not listed on the resume is the conversations that happen outside of the rounds, where people come together to discuss different issues because it excites them. I love the political process, it drives the activities I do, the classes
Pope Francis once said, “An education in the fullness of humanity should be the defining feature of Catholic schools.” To me, this sentiment sums up why a Catholic education is so important for many reasons. I have attended many different types of schools: public, private, Catholic and homeschool as a result of my father’s career in the military. However, only my experiences at Catholic schools provide me with a truly well-rounded education because, at Catholic schools, I receive the opportunity to learn about the amazing gift of God’s love every day during school hours. I love studying Scripture and seeing ways in which God is present in our lives. It is such a special experience to be able to do that in a school environment where you can really learn the fundamentals of our faith, as well as experiencing many different aspects of our Catholic faith, from prayer to Mass as a part of
I have been involved in the Future Farmers of America chapter at Powhatan High School since my sophomore year of high school. I took my first agriculture class sophomore year because my older sister had taken a welding class and thoroughly enjoyed it. When in the class I learned about FFA and decided to join the club because I found it interesting. That year I learned more about the organization and became interested in becoming more involved in the organization. By becoming more involved in the FFA organization, I began to become passionate about the organization and wanted to ;earn how to become more involved. At the end of my sophomore year, I interviewed to become the Reporter of the Powhatan High School FFA chapter and I was honored to be appointed to the position. Once appointed the position, I was learned leadership and organizational skills in this position. At the end of my junior year, I was appointed the a Vice Resident of Chapter and I am currently serving in this position.
money to support yourself? Last but not least, Pine Island needs to teach their students how to invest in their future. It would have been nice to know that there were tools out there such as money bonds and the stock market that I could have been investing in to help increase my financial stability over time. I have many friends that have set up money bonds that have grown over 4 percent in only three years’ time! The money in which I possess could have been growing in money bonds or even in the stock market, but my high school failed to teach me either of those options. Pine Island High School needs to step up their game and start teaching students how to properly manage their
Upon reading and analyzing Clement Middle School’s Mission Statement, it appears it is well written and contains all the attributes discussed in this paper: philosophical, psychological, and social. In the first paragraph of the mission statement, there were humanistic and progressive characteristics mentioned through words such as “safe, diversity, variety of learning experiences, and everyone is involved in the learning experiences.” Likewise, it is apparent Clement strives to maintain a learning environment in which its students are nurtured and have freedom of choice through elective classes and student-led lessons provided in all grade levels.
My first year was tough since my sister just moved out and my mother and I had to find a new home which affected me a great amount as I ended my first semester with a GPA of 3.0. As life progressed I realized why I have always had the urge to devote my life to the law. My ultimate purpose in life is to make a positive difference in this country and leave my mark such as Joseph Pistone (former FBI agent). I rose from having a GPA of a 3.0 to currently holding a 3.86 after a year by grasping the challenge of switching to A.D. Henderson University School/ FAU High school. This transition challenged me to an extremely competitive and rigorous program where students were fully dual-enrolled at Florida Atlantic University; taking college courses to fulfill high school requirements.
The first couple of weeks were a little rough. It was hard adapt to the change right away. I have experienced so many great things so far though. I am glad I chose Lebanon Valley College; it feels like home to me. I look forward to meeting new people and all of the opportunities life has in store for me.
Throughout my whole life, I have wanted to change the world. In the past couple years, I realized that I could achieve this dream by focusing my studies on engineering. Engineers are heros, they are the people who have created the world around us. I want to study engineering during college, and become an engineer later in life. As a highly motivated student, I realized that I wanted to further my education by attending a summer program at one of the world's best engineering schools. This program will lead me one step closer to achieving my goals. The second reason why I want to attend Stevens Pre-College is because I want to experience what it is like to be a college student. I hope that the program provides an enriching experience filled with
A gathering place in school or in the community would be, a football game at Kirtland Central High School. I think this because that’s where, everyone gathers to become one family to cheer on the players. Also to support them as well. The settings take, place on the football field. This is where we go against are opponents.
My plans for next year while remaining at Corliss Early STEM High school is to pass all my classes and keep my GPA over a 3.8 average. I want to avoid all drama and stay away from students involved in too much mess. I was planning on transferring next school year because I don’t like the vibe that comes from the staff and some of the students. I changed my mind though, because people tend to work with other they dislike which shouldn’t stop you from completing a task. Things that led to me making this decision is my favorite teachers and friends. I have a personal bond and connection with some of the staff. My friends inspires me to strive and reach my goals.
The high school I attended in Hawaii was largely underfunded and did not have the materials necessary to help prepare me for college. In fact, my old high school holds a college readiness index score of 8.7 out of 100 on US News & World Report. Once I recognized that I was in a poor learning environment, I seized an opportunity to transfer from Konawaena High School to Garfield High School (Seattle) in order to better position myself for college. Subsequent to transferring, I enrolled in Running Start courses at Seattle Central College and sought out help to plot my next steps. In addition to applying to several Colleges I was compelled to apply for scholarships, which paid off because I am now a recipient of the Gates Millennium Scholarship.
The school that I was placed in is P.S.096 Joseph Lanzetta and there are 442 students enrolled from Pre-K to the 8th grade. There are Special Education classes and a few inclusive classrooms within the school. Some special ed. students travel with their para to another classroom for another subject. P.S.096 is located in district 04 in East Harlem and demographic of the neighborhood is mostly Black and Hispanic. Most of the students within the school are African American and Hispanic. Students are require to wear their uniform to school. Joseph Lanzetta’s mission statement is:
I instantly felt connected to Make School as soon as I read, “We’re building the college experience we wished existed, one where our students love coming to school every day and are passionate about their work.” Today, many colleges do not necessarily prepare students for the real world and how to achieve career success. Make School thrives off creativity, empathy, passion, and drive to ensure their students will have a positive school experience. Working for Make School would be the perfect company for me to put my passion and enthusiasm for mentoring others to good use. The mission and values that Make School exhibits are what I highly value in a workplace environment.
