What Is My Greatest Accomplishments

I played basketball from 3rd grade until 8th grade. I would work my butt off the whole time I remember the last game I ever played. We lost both of are biggest players. One went to play for another team at a different tournament and the other had been elbowed above the eye and had to go to the hospital for stitches. We did not have many kids left who were tall, so we had to push harder to try and win. Everyone wanted to give up because our biggest players were gone but I just wanted to give it all. I pressured the offense as much as I could, trying to steal the ball for a fast break because with my skills the best way for me to score was a lay-up. I would swat at any shot, dive at any loose ball, and throw myself into anywhere to keep it out of the other teams hands, but my team had already given up. Right then and there I was so disgusted that when the game was over I decide

It had been a long season, many losses, but many learning moments, we were second to last in the league and only had about ten wins. The only thing we had going for us, the playoffs. We had tied the West Kent Hawks and beat two other teams 7-1 and 10-2 to make it here, and there I was. Sitting in the locker room with a blank stare and hands hanging from my chest guard, this is usually what happens before games. I was anxious to get on the ice, but neverous too, because this is how the little caesars playoffs work.

I was 12 year old when I started playing basketball. My dream was to be similar to Michael Jordan. However, my GBL team has lost every game since I’ve started playing basketball. I was also playing with my older brother Jeremiah for the first time, but we were always fighting about whose better. I knew this season would bring us together. With a lot of hard work we finally won. It took me and my brother to work together to win.

Our coach at the time, Coach Lallemand, would have cuts at the beginning and end of the year every year. So, at the end of my sophomore year we were at tryouts going through our drills and what have you. Then at the end he called us one by one into his office. I was expecting to make the team I had no doubt in my mind I was going to make the team. When he called my name I wasn’t nervous or anxious, I knew I was

When assigned my first essay, “My Greatest Accomplishment,” I took time to brainstorm different ideas that defined me. The accomplishment that stood out the most to me was qualifying for State Track in four events on a sprained ankle. While writing this essay, I felt like a baby learning how to walk. My writing was unsteady and I took a few tumbles trying to get the paragraphs to flow. This reminded me of trying to run on my sprained ankle at the State-qualifying meet. However, like I finished the paper, I finished my events with qualifying times. I knew the essay would prove difficult, but I grew hopeful while writing because I knew I had numerous

There is no other place that would make me work this hard at everything I do, but now I know I could do it. Before being an MEHS student, I relied in only my grades, but getting those good grades with such simplicity was bringing me nowhere. After hearing about Mt. Edgecumbe I was scared that I could not make it up there. After two years of being a student there, I understand that succeeding at Mt. Edgecumbe is no simple task, but it could be done by someone who truly give it everything they have. Although this would be one of he most streaneus accomplishments I had ever achieved, I know I that I could do it if given the

My first basketball game at Hillcrest was my greatest accomplishments when I moved schools. It was a chilly fall night that I had been excited for for a while. I walked into the gym when the aroma of popcorn and hotdogs filled my senses. I was anxious with excitement because I had never played for another school before, it was a very nice change. All the players were in the locker room just a few minutes before the game. We had our pre-game prayer and then we were ready to play. I started for the first time that I could remember. I had the first field goal of the season which absolutely took my breath away. I got the ball on the block and shot it. I watched in slow motion as it went in the goal. In the end, it was a basketball game that I

I attended all training sessions and spent a great amount of time playing basketball since the thrill of winning games, of becoming better pushes me forward. I believed my efforts are worthy, since I had the advantage over other players in speed and keen awareness, and I trained harder than others every day. Basketball was the only thing on my mind. Then the time came to assemble the official school team to participate in formal basketball games. I thought for all my efforts

In the upcoming summer of Junior year, I experienced a valuable lesson about life that occurred in a Basketball game. To begin with, the Independence Basketball team had offseason training for the whole summer. During that summer, my teammates and i worked extremely hard to become an unstoppable Junior Varsity team. As the team trained, we were entered to play at Arizona Christian University for almost the whole summer. In short, we have never played at ACU before and were excited to play. As we played teams at ACU, the Independence Jv only lost 2 games in total and entered the ACU tournament. In the tournament, we were playing in the Semifinals against Moon Valley. I remember that day, as a team, we all motivated each other and were focused to

Our team practice everyday for 2 hours and our record was 23-1. We were the first team ever to win in our age division to ever win for St.Mary’s. We had a hard time in the beginning of the season. One of our best players injured her knee. She was running towards the loose ball and her knee twisted. She was out for the rest of the season. Looking back on it made me better because I learned how hard you to to practice or try to achieve your goal.

Out of all my major achievements and awards, my Media Studies award means the most to me. I finished the course with a 97%; however, it did not come easily. Before Grade 11 started, I already knew that I would apply for a Media Studies program in university. Therefore, I felt as if I needed to prove that it was indeed what I intend to do postsecondary. During the school year, however, I found that the course was more like a pastime than an actual class.

What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.

It is hard to answer the question as to the greatest thing I have accomplished in my life. This is because I have some accomplishments that may impress others, but the greatest accomplishment to me would have to be becoming a good daughter, friend, fiance, and overall person. This is because in the past I was a very selfish person who always put myself first. I had some other bad qualities too. It took me a awhile to realize how my actions effected others around me. Once I did I was able make changes about myself. I feel very accomplished when i think about who I used to be and who I am now.

What defines an accomplishment? Is it the worth of it in monetary, emotional, or personal standards? Personally a great accomplishment of mine was self-improvement in both body and mind. I had a problem with my weight and mental stability. I am diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and I do not take any medication for it. Therefore I have learned over the years on how to control my anxiety and calm myself down. My weight gain began when I was in 4th grade, I started the habit of bingeing and it resulted in a troubled metabolic system. My greatest accomplishment has been my new lifestyle that has mitigated my physical and mental problems through health routines, training, and reading.

I looked up at the scoreboard and the time read 8 minutes left. As I looked at the scoreboard I felt a jolt of energy enter my body. I had felt as if a fire was lit under me. My eyes opened as if I had just seen a ghost. I remember thinking to myself, “how can we lose this game?” I made a promise to myself that I would win 4 state titles while being at Battlefield High School. This was my sophomore year of high school and I had already won one state title, how could I give up now and let my dreams be crushed, I worked too hard for that to happen. In that moment I knew there was only one result I was going to walk off the field with, and that was with a win and another State Championship. I took a deep breath and thought to myself, “My team needs energy. They need a leader.”
