Honor Roll Accomplishments
There are several goals I have set for myself in college; I aspire to make the dean's-list in all the years I attend college, I anticipate participating in a minimum of two organizations which can get me more absorbed in the community, and finally, I want to become involved with the student body, and attend as many school sponsored events as I can. In my junior year, when I heard I made the honor roll at my high school, I was overcome with a feeling of fulfillment. This was the first time I had made the honor roll and with this achievement was a feeling of pride for the work I put in, and for the way the work reflected in my grades. But, I stayed hungry and kept working to maintain this honor, and I finished on the honor role for the entirety …show more content…
Joining the future business leaders of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, becoming a youth leader at Christ Church, as well as many other volunteering activities helped me enrich my community, and make an impact in the world around me. Along with these organizations, I have played several sports in high school, in my junior and senior years I settled on my two favorite sports, track and field, and volleyball. Within these sports I have made friendships with my teammates I will never forget, and learned important lessons in humbleness when winning, and cohere with my friends when losing. By being a member of any sports teams at my high school, I regularly attended many of my school’s events, giving me the opportunity to develop relationships, and gain a tremendous sense of pride in my school. I am looking forward to bringing this same sense of pride to my college, and making many new friendships along the way. I learned over the course of my education to this point, that when I became more involved with these activities, my performance in the classroom increased alongside my

    The Boys and Girls Club of America helps thousands of Americans each year as a daycare, escape from home, way to meet new friends or to eat a sustainable meal that they wouldn’t be able to get at home. Another way that the Boys and Girls Club benefits kids is by having organized sports where the players can develop competitiveness, teamwork and become coachable. As someone who volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club I am able to experience all of the good that goes on both within and outside of business hours. As I wrap up my high school career and go on to the next stage in my life I often find myself looking back at not only those who helped shaped me into the person I am today but also the extracurricular activities I participated in. The Boys and Girls Club is one thing that continually pops into my head with the activities I partook in as well as the children and adults alike, without these experiences I would not have devolved my love for basketball, been so willing to give back to the community, or have been showed the do’s and don’ts of parenting.…

    I decided to apply to the Honors College because I am a student who loves to be challenged. At my current university, I am not enrolled in an honors program, or am taking honors level classes. The reason for this is that as an incoming freshman, I was anxious about what my college workload would be like, and chose not to apply to the honors program. This is a decision that I truly regret. I have really enjoyed the classes that I’m taking, but I don’t feel that I’m being challenged in any of them. I received a 4.0 GPA last semester, and was on the Dean’s List. While this was a huge honor, I did not feel…

    I began as someone who attended additional lessons to improve my education, but eventually developed into an individual who now aids others in their academic-related troubles. Currently, I’m assisting a Sophomore and a Junior in subjects such as Honors Algebra II & Trig, Honors Precalculus, and Honors Physics. The greatest feeling I’ve come to understand was the collaborative success between me and my students. It can be their grade improving or their sense of understanding increasing. On the other hand, it can also be my appreciation of others developing. I constantly aspire to grow as a reliable figure for my peers, and that desire will continue in the Honors College community. Accordingly, as a student who will learn in a challenging…

    The one extracurricular activity that is the most important to me is Junior Classical League (JCL). Because of the enthusiasm of my Latin teacher, who is a sponsor for JCL, I joined the club. Back when I first joined, my focus in the club was solely Certamen, a competition that surrounds the Latin language and Roman culture. As I spent in the club, however, it soon gained a dear place in my heart. The JCL community is truly incredible, and I formed many unforgettable friendships thanks to the club. Recently, I was in one of our Intermediate Certamen teams at Yale University Tournament, and my team won second place. Unfortunately, the other Intermediate team did not advance to the finals. What was really touching to me was not our victory but…

    Coming from Miami, FL to McHenry, MD was a huge culture shock. When I first visited Garrett College over the summer for a baseball visit, I did not know what to expect. During my visit I had an amazing time with my family. The weather was perfect, and the talk I had with coach Hallenbeck went very well. The reason I came to Garrett College was baseball. Baseball has been a huge factor in my life ever since I was a little kid. It helped keep me out of trouble, helped me develop relationships with well-known coaches, and it has made me meet friends from all over the country. Since I’ve been at Garrett I have developed one huge characteristic. Leaving my family and all my friends back home has made me more of an independent person. Back home I live with my parents; they feed me, do my laundry, and wash the dishes. Now that I am living on my own, doing all of these necessities by myself has made me a more independent person. I believe over the years I have developed strength, courage, perseverance, a sense of humor, an outgoing personality, athletic, kindness, and humility. All my life I have dreamt about playing College baseball. Without the support of my parents and my high school baseball coach I would not be where I am now. The three characteristics that best describe me are athletic, fun, and generous.…

    I happen to have quite a few achievements that I am rather proud of. My first most meaningful achievement is working hard to keep my grades up in school, which has allowed me to accomplish my other achievements. Next, another one of my most meaningful achievements is being accepted for the ACE Puente program. The ACE Puente Program allows qualifying high school sophomores to graduate with 24 college credits. This achievement is very meaningful to me because I take my education very seriously, and I believe a good education is very important. Being part of the ACE Puente program is a great accomplishment because it has helped me get closer towards my goal of becoming a dental hygienist. The ACE Puente program is allowing me to graduate high…

    My most outstanding academic achievement is tried for a encouraging academic scholarship at university in 2011. Its value isn’t so high, only 2 million VND, but so meaningful to me. At that time, I took part in many social and extracurricular activities so I didn’t have much time for studying. My grade point average had fluctuated from 7.5 to 7.9 before. And at the sixth semester, I tried my best to prove my ability; surprisedly, 8.44 is this semeter’s GPA. After that I learned: the passion and determination will make a success tomorrow.…

    I have always been a consistent honor student in my previous years in school. I applied for and eventually passed the ESEP (Engineering and Science Education Program) and I am proud to say I am still a part of this class. Both of these are, so far, my greatest achievements. They have let me realize three things. First, I am above the average; I am worthy to study to the top universities of our country. Second, I was born to be a professional; a professional who is prepared to serve my countrymen and a professional who is one of those who will move our country from the third world into the first world. Lastly, I figured out that I want to use my talents and skills to help improve myself, my community and the society as a promising new professional that I aspire to be.…
