The Importance Of Academic Challenges In High School

Describe the most challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The most challenging obstacle I faced was during middle school. Not only was I outcasted simply because my character did not fit into a whitewashed rich boy image.Most of my classmates would simply only think of themselves and how they can make themselves even more popular. During middle school I still hadn’t realized not fitting in would be fine. Not only did this incident brought me depression people simply didn’t care. Simply giving me punishments every time my grade fell. I would still tell myself to be happy that everything would be all right. But all it did was give me a fake mask to face reality.

When I think of a significant challenge, the thing which stands out in my mind is one of the biggest change in my life which was moving to the United States. I was in 11th grade in Pakistan before I migrated to the U.S. I had to retake that grade. I felt bad to be one year behind, but later I started to participate actively in all my classes, but the change of the type of study was the biggest obstacle in my way to get educated and be successful. There are many differences between the education here and the one in Pakistan. There were a series of challenges I faced after settling into the school like meeting new people and getting along with them. Because I was shy, it was hard for me to get along with others whom I didn’t even know. I knew

I have overcome lots of obstacles in my life. They weren't the easiest to overcome, but I did it. There is one obstacle I had to go through which made me a strong individual mentally and physically. I lived in New Jersey for my entire life. I grew up there, I had all of my family and friends in Jersey. I was sure my future was going to rely in Jersey. During 7th grade, I got the news that we were going to move to North Carolina. I was thrilled to move to another state. As each day passed, I thought how I would have to start in a new school and make new friends. Every time it struck me knowing that I would have to start a new life. I was nervous not knowing what would happen to my future. I wanted to stay in New Jersey because I was scared of

The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading. Reading is one of the most important things it was hard for me to say some words that I thought I was never gonna learn to read ever even if they were just small words or big words I struggle so much while growing up. When I was

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

The biggest challenge for me this year was doing my work thoroughly. While on the surface this may seem like something that should be easy, for me it was the first year I was really unable to get away with only giving 75% effort on my work. The assignment that really got me to understand this was an active reading assignment we had early in the school year. When we got into class we were told to define the word “affectation”. While I had read over the article I had not taken the time to define every word and got a 0/5. This assignment was my abyss because of the fact that I missed points that I could have easily received had I spent just another 30 seconds to completely finish my homework. The majority of my challenges occurred after my abyss. A major challenge for me came in my writing. At the beginning of the year I did not realize how important it was to truly stick to the writing process and take time with my writing. In past years I had been able to get away with occasionally drifting off topic during my writing and it took me a while to understand how exactly to approach a paper. Throughout the year I went through a transformation in my writing. After a few writing assignment I began to understand how to approach a paper and my writing has grown since. This year in humanities has left me with a gift. Through Humanities I learned a couple things that I will take away with me and use not just for the rest of highschool but for the rest of my life. One thing I took away was how to approach my work. When facing a large assignment it is important to not be intimidated and procrastinate starting your work. While the first few days of such an assignment can be challenging if you focus and knock out parts of the assignment slowly and concisely the end result of your work will be much better and your last few days doing the assignment will be far less

in high school some challenges did approach me, I did not let myself down and I was determined

The first obstacle had to face are my parent divorce. When this obstacle happened I was depressed and not do that good in school. My aunt had to take to with her friend that was an therapist I only went for one day, when it finish the therapy I realized that my life is not over just for a dilema. I was more relief and more ambitious to do all my work and pass all of my classes. The second obstacle is that I would struggle at school is turning in my work late when it was due the next day. Then, I had to overcome it by, making an agenda to keep my work on track and test to study for the agenda really helped me alot. My last dilemma is that I would work during school because me and my family depend on my dad sending money when sometime he wouldn't send us money. Me and my bigger sister would always try to find a job to help my mom to pay bills etc. Another obstacle is trying my best to have good grade and study in a correct way. I try to keep up my grade but sometimes it's hard. I sometimes

Everyone goes through a challenge at some point in their life. I went through a challenge last year at the beginning of my freshman year attending Foothills Christian High School. Last year, my freshman year I did not know anybody starting the school year. This made me super nervous to start high school. I was also concerned about the three days a week at school and two days homeschool. One of my challenges was going to school and parts of that challenge was not knowing anybody starting school, having to go to school on three days a week instead of five, and not knowing the campus well.

Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The most significant challenge I have faced was balancing my academics and sports. I have been involved in the boy's soccer program at Palm Desert High School since my freshman year and each season has proven to be a test for me academically. I must say that attempting to balance my school work and soccer during my freshman and sophomore year has taken a toll on my academic achievement. It is unfortunate, however, I learned many things that will benefit me in the future. It was difficult because stress and anxiety amounted on top of all the school work and assignments that needed to be completed with the little time I had in my hands. Each season lasted around four months and during those four months, I accumulated bad habits. I procrastinated

Challenges are one of the many things we as humans posses. We learn to face challenges and how to conquer the ones that come after them. I have many challenges but my main one is a personal family issue. Recently I moved in with my mom and I have not got to see my sister and my stepsister who live with my dad. This is a challenge because It distracts me from things I need to be focused on. Another challenge is one that not only I face but a ton of other people do as well, procrastination. I procrastinate a ton and I usually do things the night before they are due or the next morning before I go to first block. I have been getting better at this by starting on the assignment the night I received it and working on it a little every night. This way I work on it and I do not procrastinate and I get my work done neatly and on time. My challenge I am least concerned about is self confidence. I struggle with making decisions and wondering what other people think about me. I am currently learning to
