Transition To High School Personal Statement

My transition into high school was as easy as taking a breath. I had always found school quiet easy and I never had to put much effort into getting promising grades. Before high school I had my whole life figured out, or at least I thought I did. I had planned that I would attend a law school or major in English. After a while of being in high school I started to realize many things. My parents did not have the financial stability to send me to a law school, I was not as smart as all the other kids, little by little I began struggling with a negative mentality about myself and my future. I slowly let go of my dream of becoming a lawyer and decided to join the Health Careers Academy. Soon enough, I began to have a deep interest in the medical field but then again I continued to have the same question; how can I afford going to a medical school? I did not know much about college or what it took to get into college. I assumed I just had to have a pretty transcript and that was all it took. My self confidence began to lower as I saw how other students cruised through their high school years so effortlessly. I never wanted to ask for help because I did not want to seem “dumb”. I would bite my tongue and hold in all the unanswered questions I had. My junior year, I was having a very difficult time. I had a tight schedule which consisted of almost all AP or honors courses. I slowly began to give up because I did not believe that I could do it. I let my grades slip failing almost

Year 2015 is when I started my freshman year. Although I was in high school since 8th grade, the title “Freshman” made this school year more nervous. Freshman year starts a lot of things for me. Such as academy program, swim team, and grade that would actually count toward college. It is very hard to get used to high school and creates a lot of stress.

When people tell you that high school would be the best time of your life, you don’t really understand the magnitude of what they’re saying until your time is coming to an end. A lot of people say that you “find yourself” in college. I, however, had the advantage of finding myself in high school. These past six years have been awesome, and I really mean it. I know it might not seem believable for a high school student to enjoy school, but I’m not lying about this stuff. I felt this way even before there was a scholarship to apply for. My mom taught me from a young age to enjoy going to school, and as much stress as it might have caused me over the years, I still loved every second of it. It’s easy to focus on the undesirable parts like sleep

Throughout my three years at Barnegat High School I have strived to be a respectful, responsible and influential student and athlete. I have worked hard to stand out among my peers, be dedicated to everything I do, work towards achieving my personal goals and positively influence those around me. As an individual and a young adult, I believe it is the responsibility of younger generations to work towards being the best version of ourselves we can possibly be and positively contribute to others and our community. Overall, I aspire to be a well rounded individual and character that demonstrates the qualities of respect, citizenship, and responsibility.

Some positive qualities that I will bring to the student body at JP Catholic are organization skills, student interaction, good vibes, and progress. With my organization skills I will be able to help others around me by helping them stay on track too and while doing this we have better student interaction. Meaning that we will be able to get along more than the usual. Good vibes bring equilibrium to JP Catholic's students, the good blocks out the bad and we are able to live in a peaceful way. Finally progress works with student interaction because we get along, help each other out, and more is able to get done.

Hi! Im Shelby from MMS.I am super eager to be a freshman at highschool next year but i'm also nervous.With being eager and nervous I am also really adventurous, creative, curious about how things work,and kind. I wouldnt say im the best student because I am still working on managing my time wisely. I can work well under pressure but I don't want to have to in the future.I also have to work on turning things in on time.I have to be a good example because I am the oldest of two half brothers.One goes to Kindergarten academy right now his name is Elijah.And my other half brother goes to West shore academy the private school, his name is Jackson. They are both in kindergarten.

Starting high school, I was not a perfect student. However, over the past three years, it is clear that my grades have drastically improved. Whether it was adjusting to AP classes or balancing extracurricular activities and homework, I became proficient at handling the twists and turns of high school. By smoothing out my rough edges, I have become a student with distinct goals and a strong work ethic. Having experienced both low and high ends of academic success, my abilities and mindset can be molded to any situation. I am confident that I have the talent, ambition, and the adaptive abilities to become part of a guaranteed

I want to make a positive and lasting impact on young students who aspire to accomplish great things and wish to stand where I stand now.

I care for others; aid to people’s needs, am always there to lend a helping hand and willing to lead others. I am a hard worker and love working with others especially my peers. My upbeat attitude will shine through and radiate through the freshman as they walk through our halls. My positivity and optimistic attitude will encourage them to make their high school experience the best it can be. My big heart will help them feel like they are at home, and that we are one big family. My leadership will encourage the class of 2020 to become leaders for our school. Freshman year can be nerve-racking, but just as my LINK leaders made me feel freshman year, I want to help the incoming class of 2020 to feel as comfortable as possible. Along with encouraging them to make the best out of their experience at Viator, I will encourage them to get involved with our sports, clubs and activities we offer because there is always something for everyone. We are all in this high school journey together and I want everyone to be able to be as successful and feel as a part of our Viator family as possible. I will always look after every freshman and take them under my wing because I know how much it means to have someone pave the way for

“You are not college material, look at these grades,” my Mother proclaims as she looks at my recent report card. “Stick with sports kid” my Father, adds. The sad part is, I actually believed them.

Becoming a Wings peer mentor means that I get to take my knowledge I have learned while at Arrowhead and share it with the people who need it the most. One of the very first things I would share with them is one my my favorite quotes of all time, said by Zig Ziglar: “You can’t climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts”. I would like to say that I have lived by this saying everyday in my life. All around me I hear degrading things being said about other people and it makes me realize that some days, high school can be a really brutal place to be. You never know who’s talking about you, what they are saying, if your friends are really your friends, or if your crush really likes you. You don’t know what grade you got on a test, and you feel like a teacher has it out for you. There are so many things that occupy a high schooler’s mind and make going to school one of the scariest things you will do, especially when you are a freshman walking into Arrowhead for the first time.

There were students from all around the world who had different cultures, religions, and hardships. I perceived that high school is a race, a race where I can run at my own pace and my goals are the prize. I entered an environment where the opportunities were endless and I was allowed to accomplish whatever I want. My confidence began to flourish. I started involving myself in school work and began to participate in class. During my sophomore year, I engaged in numerous group activities such as the school play, science competition team, and advanced arts. I earned respect and developed a reputable character in school. I reached a milestone in my journey during junior year when I was inducted into the National Honors Society, played varsity tennis and became class

I'M NOT REAL SURE HOW I CAN IMPACT THIS CAMPUS BUT I PLAN TO COMMIT MYSELF TO ACHIEVING WHAT IT IS I INTEND ON DOING. I BELIEVE THAT ONCE I COMPLETE MY 4 YEARS HERE AT DALTON STATE I WILL BE PROUD OF MYSELF AND KNOW OTHERS WILL BE AS WELL. THE IMPACT I WILL MAKE ON MYSELF IS TO FINALLY FINISH A TASK IN WHICH I HAVE STARTED. I WILL COMMIT TO BEING HERE AT MY SCHEDULED TIMES FOR CLASSES AND WORKING MY HARDEST TO MY BEST IN ALL OF MY CLASSES. TYPICALLY, I DO NOT SEE MYSELF MAKING A HUGE IMPACT ON CAMPUS BUT UNDOUBTEDLY I WILL WORK ON THIS TO IMPROVE ANY POSSIBLE ASPECT THAT IS WITHIN MY REACH.

I was born and raised in Rumford, a small town in Maine. When it came time to choose a college the University of Maine checked all of my boxes. It was a big college with a wide variety of courses and majors, which was important to me as I was unsure what career I wanted to pursue. Orono was far enough away from home that I got a new experience and met new people, but it was only a two and a half hour drive home to visit family and friends. My four years of undergrad really molded a young, indecisive girl into a confident woman who knows what she wants in life.

Going into high school will be very emotional I will be excited, nervous, scared, and sad because I am leaving VPA. I have made many friends like my ranch buddy, and learned many things in my 8 years of being here. This school has taught me many things like leadership, friendship, and good character. Although I have faced many challenges at vpa I have found a way to work through them and learn something along the way.
