My parents have had several friends that I can recall during my childhood. Each of them had some who were called acquaintances, and others close friends. The close friendships were people who were there when my parents needed support or just a moment to vent. They would be at your door step during any time of day. I learned to appreciate the people who had good hearts and cared about my family the most. They have always been a part of my years growing up and are still keeping in touch while I am starting my own life. Friendships don’t seem to be something that would cost me anything. I feel like I can rely on them and know that they are there when I need them the
I believe that everyone is unique, that some have different perspectives, while others may agree to disagree. I believe in trying to get to know everyone's perspective once engaged in a conversation. I believe in knowing that somehow and some way I can help someone with their uniqueness, or simply, letting them know that they are unique within. I believe in showing love, compassion, and guidance to those around me and to act with grace and kindness. I never know what someone is going through at that particular moment on that day, and why they are unique. I realized, simply, they are who they are. I believe we should love and accept people as they come. I also believe having faith in people that are met and while showing love and compassion at the same time. I
While looking through the list of characteristics to write about, one jumped out at me and I instantly knew what I was going to write about. Learning is my passion in life and the reason I want to attend Florida State University is so that I can pursue that passion. Gathering new knowledge has been, and always will be, the most important part of life for me
Another personal value that I live by till this day that you taught is “it’s not about what you do, it’s how you do it”. Another concept that went over my head when I was younger. I think this concept can mean many different things depending on your perspective. The way I look at is I should always give everything I do my full effort and do it to the best of my ability. I think it saves you time from have to redo things multiply times. It’s basically like quality over quantity, the way I see it. For example, me going to school. If I just go to school just to say I’m going and not do my work to my full potential I would have different results than I have now. Instead of it taking me two years to finish my Associates degree it probably would
People’s experiences shape their lives and influence the choices they make, their expectations, and formulate their behavior and mindset. I have always loved to learn! As a child, I was constantly at the library and playing school. I recall being in 5th grade when my teacher handed me the science manual and a box of equipment, and asked me to ‘figure it out’ and recreate it for the class. I couldn’t have been more thrilled!
I hope to be chosen for the PCHS Scholarships that you have to offer because I am a well-rounded student that has strived to become the best I can be. However, what sets me apart from everyone else is my unique philosophy on life, a strong drive to succeed,
One things that keep me from being successful in college is time management. Time management is a big issue because I remember I never use my time wisely. I never get a change to give myself time where I can enjoy my life and have fun. Whenever school started I became a stressful person because I wouldn't stop thinking how I’m going to finish my work. I also thought of how I wasn't going to pass the class. It's a stressful season for me. I remember back from my sophomore years in high school, I never finish my work on time. I didn't spend to much time on studying because I was too busy doing other things rather than spend time doing my homework and studying. Yes, maybe I need to take break from doing my homework, but taking break can also
As the 10th child of 12 children, I was expected to stay on the honor roll from 1st grade to 12th, and being a “Jones” , I had big shoes to fill. (cont. To this day I am proud to say that my parent’s wishes that all of their children
If choices were easy to make, well let's just say it would make everything easier. If choices were easy to make than the world would fly by and you wouldn't think twice about it. It would be like a small wind drifting through your hair or a slow and steady stream with no bumpy surprises. But we all know the world ends up to be a big volcano waiting to erupt under your feet in suspicion and awaiting the element of surprise, shaking your body with good and bad choices.
Everyone has different traits and attitudes which makes everyone uniquely them. Not everyone acts the same way or likes all the same things as everyone else. Every person is different in every which way. Here are some of the things that make me unique from everyone else. Things that I am considering for the future are: the first thing I want to accomplish later in the future is to go to college. I am planning to go to college once I have finish all my four years of High School. I have always dreamed of going to college once I graduated from High School. The college that I am planning to attend is either UTSA or Texas A&M. The career path that I am planning on taking later in the future is to become a teacher. Since I was seven years old I
Has something in your life, been what makes you who you really are? Well, for me that would be sports. For others, it could be clothing, music, family, friends, and the list could go on and on. But these things reveal who we REALLY are. For my essay I will
I think what makes me unique is my ability to let go of certain situations easily. For example, if I do not do as well as I would have liked to on a test, I may be frustrated with myself for a little bit but I am usually able to move on from that and focus on what I need to do so that I can improve on the next test. I do not like to dwell on negative things and strive to find the positive in any situation I am involved in.
My father always told me you learn more from the mistakes you make and answers you miss than from all the studying in the world. As a life long academic, surgeon and leader of the community I had taken those words to heart although felt they were pointless and meaningless. As an emergency physician and master of the seas, it was my job to either know everything or handle everything regardless of the chaos being thrown my way. I went about my life hearing the same clich? statement from college professors, physician instructors, and throughout thousands of classes teaching young boat captains. I even caught myself saying it on several occasions. My oldest brother is 7 years my senior but started a family far younger than myself and earned his success through a less structured and perhaps more stressful route. His life was not a self-induced addiction to chaos, adrenaline, and stress, but more one forced upon him in every non-traditional way one could imagine. It was he who brought to my attention that I have really never learned anything because all my challenges have been preceded by the education and protected experiences to deal with whatever developed. I was 40 when he first said those words to me and heard the repeated echoes during countless family visits. Also repeated by three brothers, two sisters, and one ex wife. The words never really developed any meaning. I continued my life, seeing patients, driving boats, raising my children and enjoying my
A Research Paper is a type of academic writing that needs more theoretical, significant and methodical level of question. Although a research paper is a kind of term paper, some term papers don’t require academic research. Not all research papers can be considered as term papers. An objective of writing a research paper is to allow people to read the work selectively.
The Shortcomings of College Education "The more we know the world around us, the more successful we will be." This quote, from the introduction of my high school chemistry book, was my driving force as a teenager to attend college. My expectations of college were to gain insight into a world
