Legacy, what I want people to remember me by. Many people don't really have an idea about what they want their legacy to be, but I do. This 8th grade year, my last year of middle school, I want to be remembered, by all, or at least close to it. I want to be thought of as the kid that always put forth his best effort at his schoolwork, and the kid that always completed his homework. I want people to remember me as not only the person that had great grades, but also the person that could help other peers when they were confused on school work. I would like to accomplish all of these things, but wanting to have a legacy that consists of many things means you can't just wait for it to come to you, you have to work very hard and try your best. Once you do this, your legacy will be recognized without you even noticing that you left it. I believe that if I were to leave an awesome legacy that would blow all the others away, I would have to certainly work very hard at it. By the end of this 8th grade year I would like my family to think of me as a successful, hard working young man. I want them to know that all my hard work is finally paying off. All of those long nights spent doing projects, homework and essays will finally be worth it. I want them to know I tried my best no matter what obstacles I …show more content…
If I get bad grades, I may be remembered for the wrong legacy. However, if I continue to work hard I won't have to worry about bad grades because I won't have any. In order to be successful, I need to be more proactive when I am confused or unsure about something. It is important that I learn to feel more comfortable when asking questions. Participating in school is also extremely important because when you participate, information is clearer. It also lets the teacher know what you do and don’t understand. All in all, if I have a good work ethic, continue to be proactive, and participate frequently, I could reach my highest
Throughout our lives, we make choices and decisions that change our lives and others in positive and/or negative ways. It is these decisions that determine how we will be remembered, our legacy. When I graduate high school, I want to be remembered by the qualities that define me as a person and the good I’ve done for others. Throughout the years, I’ve been often been described by my family and friends as bold, confident, outgoing, and hardworking. Not only are these characteristics important to me, but they are important to my family, as they want to leave a legacy in the name of our family. The qualities I have exhibited are the same qualities past family members have shown and are remembered for. Through always putting out my best effort when it comes to work and school, I have shown my dedication and discipline. Through doing what I can to help others, I have displayed my commitment to world peace, the betterment of the world as a whole, and the yearning to make a difference in someone’s life other than my
My grades have always been a high priority for me, along with my friends, family, and personal health, all of which are important for my future as a productive citizen. Throughout my schooling I have never felt the animosity towards education which sadly many of my peers hold, in fack I have even come to enjoy the challenges that school can present. I think mainly because much of the skills needed to do well in school came fairly naturally to me. Due to my adeptness in school I have felt that I should help those around me which are struggling in school and since I began helping others in school, I have found that I can explain those subjects which came easily to me in a way that could be easily understood by those I
Throughout my high school career I have tried to impact the lives of those around me while also learning from those around me as well. Over the four years I have attended my high school,I have grown into a person who is now more attentive of the different people, opinions, and cultures that surround me and this in turn has allowed me become more open-minded. This would be the legacy I hope that I leave behind. When I graduate from school and consequently leave my community, I hope that I have left a legacy of growth. That my experience can be an example of someone else because it is my firm belief that the greatest legacy one can leave behind can be a legacy others can learn from.
My Junior Year of high school just recently started. I have learned so many different things while attending high school, and still have over a year to learn even more. As Matthew Kelly said, “whether you are sixteen or sixty, the rest of your life is ahead of you. You cannot change one moment of your past, but you can change your whole future.” This means while I have done a lot in my past, I cannot change anything that has already happened, but I am able to change my future. One of the most important things that I am involved in right now is school. My first two years at CBHS were good, and I made decent grades. Some of the grades that I made I am not very happy with now but I cannot change that so I need to focus on my grades right now because those are the ones I can change.
Throughout my academic career, my grades and accomplishments have always been of extreme importance to me. To keep up with my goals, for example, making honor roll every quarter, I have taken steps and faced setbacks that have enabled me to see the big picture rather than focusing on the little issues that could discourage me from reaching those goals. To make the honor roll at my high school means obtaining a 3.5 grade point average or above for the entire quarter. As a freshman, I made it my goal to meet this standard throughout my complete high school career. To do this, I studied hard for every one of my classes, always did my homework, and put in as much effort as I could; I gave it my all. Through tough classes and staying up all night
“Next up, Congratulations to Matthew Collier!”... it is time. The moment you have been waiting for three years now, or what felt like and eternity. The crowd is clapping for you as you get up from you seat and walk up to the principal wearing your gown from head to toe. You can see you parents in the crowd have tears roll down their eyes in happiness. As you grab your diploma, you think to yourself how fast middle school went. You have flashbacks from when you have just entered this school in 6th grade and thought to yourself that you have plenty of time in middle school and there is no need to rush. However, now that you are finishing up your last day of 8th grade and heading off to high school, you want to leave a legacy which your teachers
My moms raised me with a strong set of morals, including “hard work pays off.” Sometimes this can be discouraging when you work hard, but it doesn’t pay off as you’d like it to. I’ve always gotten the grades I strive for without much struggle. However, once high school started, everything changed. I’d work for weeks on a scholarship essay, and I wouldn’t even place. I’d work for months to get something published and then read other people’s names in the congratulations announcement. I’d constantly wonder: Who’s at the top of the class? Who’s going to win the end of year awards? When you consistently get the grades that I do, people just expect those grades. No one congratulates you on your hard work anymore, and you don’t always get recognized. Despite the lack of recognition, I still take pride in my grades, and continue to work hard. Getting great grades is something I know I can do, even when it’s difficult to do. The difficulty makes it even more satisfying when I see the hard work pay off, and I get the grade I wanted. I’ve encountered
Growing up, I’d always been expected to do well in school. Which isn’t out of the ordinary, every parent wants their child to be successful and have a beneficial career. So, since good grades were what my parents expected that’s what I got. All throughout elementary, I strived to do my absolute best in every subject. At my sixth grade graduation I was awarded the Presidential Award for Academic Achievement, in my junior high years I did well as well. My eighth-grade year I achieved my goal of obtaining a 4.0 G.p.a. The first year of high school was nerve-racking but I still managed to keep my grades up. However, Sophomore year was definitely a bump in the road for me. In all my ten years of being in school (including head start and kindergarten)
For my future I just want to be remembered for never giving up and making something out of myself. I want to be a full time nurse and do cosmetology on the side for extra cash here and there. I want to have a beautiful family of two kids and a husband. In my future I want my kids to look at me and see a successful hard working women so they can follow in my footsteps of never giving up. In the future I want to look back and have no regrets, live life to the fullest and continue to follow my dreams no matter who doubts me. I will be successful because that’s the life I
The legacy of doing good and encouraging others is a legacy I want to leaving HVMS. I want my teachers and friends to consider me as a person who was always positive and always having everyone backs.
Motivation and hard work are the key to success. Having a reward will make you feel happy, and worthy of achieving many things if you try. Having good grades is hard, but never impossible.
Keeping my grades up will open new doors by expanding my job choices when I graduate high school and college. Also, having high grades will give me the opportunity to be on honor roll and high honor roll. Honor roll gives me a chance to be remembered for my academic abilities. Next, keeping my grades as high as they can be gives me intelligence that I can use in the future for the rest of my life. On top of that, working hard in school will pay off by giving me more opportunities in life and by creating a wider window for success in the future years of my
A students success can determine how the rest of their life will play out. If a student is unsuccessful and gets bad grades it will give them a harder life. Adults with an A average from highschool
