Three Major Accomplishments

One of my proudest achievements is joining the Varsity Tennis team. A lot of people told me that learning to play tennis at an advanced level within a year was impossible, but I payed them no heed and went to the park every day to practice. It was a rigorous year of tennis, but the key to success for me was with stubborn determination. I got blisters, callouses, and a couple of injuries, but all of my hard work paid off when I saw my name on the list.

1 score and 5 years ago I was asked to write a paper about today. Surprisingly I was spot on. Thanks to my family and all my teachers throughout my college years I am a successful Audio Engineer. I started off this journey 26 years ago in 2014 after being released from a prison program called Miami-Dade County Boot Camp. There I learned the discipline it takes to be successful at anything you want to do in your life.

The greatest accomplishment in my life thus far has been graduating high school. Academics has always been very significant to me. Neither my Mother or my Father graduated from high school and they have always encouraged me to receive my diploma. with the diploma came pride, being the first person in my family to get a higher education and knowing I'm one step closer to my career.

My most meaningful accomplishment is finding my inner leader and learning to believe in myself. For many years I was extremely shy and I let this deter me from enjoying activities outside my comfort zone. Growing up I never really believed enough in myself to find my leadership abilities. It was not until early in my college career that I began to truly see my potential. My freshman year of college I began to open myself up to the possibilities around me by joining clubs on campus and making connections with those around me. The one organization that truly changed my outlook forever was Phi Beta Chi National Sorority. Within my sisterhood I began to open up and see myself as the leader I knew I could be. Once I had this new found outlook I

My accomplishments really date back when I graduated from high school. As the youngest of four, you would think I had wonderful romodels guiding me throughout my life and making it easier for me. However, that was not my case. I was actually one of 3 that graduated from high school from my brothers and sisters, and the only one that got accepted to a university. I am now happy to be a jr. at UTEP and be a ro-model from my nephews and nieces. I guess all those challenges really worked in my favor.

I learned two instruments my Senior year. This experience has taught me that if you are truly committed to something, you can achieve it, even if you didn’t start young.

Throughout this year I don’t believe that I have really achieved much. I graduated from Charles F. Brush High School in Lyndhurst, Ohio, with a 2.8 GPA. Which is good because I am the first male with my name to graduate on time. I got a second job working at an Old Navy and I am a full time student at Kent State University. To me though my most recent accomplishment that I acknowledge is my decision to pursue a double major with I minor. After going through all the majors available at Kent State and taking an assessment for help, I’ve decided to commit to being a Business Management major with a minor in Marketing starting in spring 2017. For years I’ve known that I want to run my own business, more specifically start my own brand of clothing,

In addition, it was the little moments during performances that nurtured my desire to become a professional musician. The endeavor of singing on stage while hesitant and shaky, and the joy after finishing. Sitting in an ensemble with my alto saxophone, and playing with fellow musicians who shared my love for music, finding that perfect harmony. Experiencing a sense of freedom as I strummed and picked my heart away on stage with my guitar.

My proudest accomplishment is graduating college within four years. I was the first person in my immediate family to finish my bachelor’s degree within four years. I hope my accomplishment will serve as a model to my younger family members.

WOTM – build the skills, knowledge and confidence of 10-12 women annually who identify as having lived with violence to become engaged leaders in their communities. Women will lead in discussions about the impact of violence on themselves, the family and their community.

Due to my failure to make All State, I recognized that I did not need the recognition, the big performance and the medal that is given out. What truly mattered was the improvement that I achieved as a musician. In those short summer months, I had polished my scales and sharpened my sight reading skills. I was ready for my next audition which propelled me to the second highest band in my high school band program, the Symphonic Band. Competition for this band is usually very high and I was quite proud to have achieved such an

This evoked a question in my mind: what is my greatest accomplishment? I am an avid golfer, and I qualified for state my junior and senior year. I have won many tournaments and received the honor of Times Daily’s Golfer of the Year. But I do not consider this my greatest accomplishment. I do not think I have a great achievement yet. Everything I have done so far dulls in comparison to Ben Franklin. I concluded that I need to find something and work hard at it. I do not believe college will be my great accomplishment. Millions of people graduate every year. It is ordinary. I want a different goal to achieve. One that is uncommon. I believe finding that goal will be half of my greatest

I am hard working, ambitious and creative. Many who know me say that I am super organized, very social and good at noticing details. I love to work with others as I see it as an opportunity to learn and to gain a new friend. I have acquired many leadership experiences from Key Club, STEM, Swim managing, band leadership, etc. Each of these experiences has taught me something different. For example, being the Boy’s Swim Team manager I learned how to work with a group of 70 teenage boys. Also, with all the extracurricular activities that I do, I am superb at managing my time. What I can contribute to Youth Council is all the knowledge that I have gained over the years through all the activities I do and fresh, new ideas.

Around the age of seven, my family and I went to the mall that included a music store. I would roam all around the store to experiment with almost every instruments that were put on display. This led to the first instrument that I got, which was an electric guitar. I would continually beg my mother for it, promising that I will be the most exceptional child ever. Now I don't fully recall as to why I had a desire for an electric guitar, but I do remember there was a time in my life that my brothers and I wanted to form a band. Which was a ridiculous idea because neither of us knew how to play an instrument or how to sing, so our "band" would have been a tremendous fiasco. I was ecstatic with the new guitar I received that as soon as we came home I went berserk upon opening it. I even have

My greatest accomplishment thus far, has been getting high grades in college. Accomplishing this required: patience, dedication, tenacity, stamina, and confidence. It took patience because there were long hours that were dedicated to homework and studying. It took dedication because I had to continually tell myself that it would be worth it, even when it was difficult. It took tenacity because I knew that I couldn't accept anything less than my best. It took stamina because there were a lot of late nights and just a lot of time in general to complete everything that was required of me. Lastly, it took confidence because if I didn't believe that I could, it would have made it a million times harder.
