My Accomplishment: My Pursuit Of Honor
Through life I've discovered many things with myself and accoplished many things. This past year my goal was to get high honors because, I have never goton my GPA that high honors and that was such a big accomplishment for me. An award that I was proud of was when I got my citizen ship award. That award proved to me that I was kind, helpfull, and ect. Even tho i already knew that stuff about me, but when i was presented that award in front of the whole school everyone knew. As you know I play sports, if you didn't know well, now you do. So, I play a lot of sports and I am actual pretty good at most sports. Through out the years that I've played sports I've MVP, I've been the captain of teams too. But through out the years I've notice that I

    One reason that I am so proud of my high school academic accomplishments, is because I struggled with my grades in grade school. Because of these struggles, I realized that I needed to work hard to obtain good grades. In high school, my work ethic helped me attain good grades and be nominated for the National Honor Society. According to the National Honor Society, only about…

    Throughout my four years of high school, I have consistently pushed myself beyond my limits and comfort zones in attempt to discover my place in the world. I spent most of first two years discovering who I was as an individual, ultimately manifesting into inspiration for success. I grew out of “fitting in” and decided to turn my life and aspirations towards a greater direction; on this road of discovery, I separated myself from those who valued arrogance and indifference. “Nerd Squad” is what I am a part of today, which is why I am currently confident enough to apply for the National Honors Society Scholarship. I believe I have grown into a tenacious, sympathetic, and joyous young man that the entire school has seen develop, and I am honored…

    I have quite a few trophies on my shelves. I went from being a lineman, to being a starting wide receiver. I have caught three touchdown passes. The first touchdown catch I ever had was probably the best meaning to me. I jumped when I got into the end zone because it was my first one and I was really happy. It was a deep streak into the end zone although, we did win the game. I caught a lot of passes against Lee high. I probably would have caught another touchdown but I got held against Honaker. During the Honaker game I got my knee hit on some guy’s face mask and my knee was bothering me. When we played eastside I had a lot of big hits I accomplished them. Altogether, I have accomplished some pretty great things in my lifetime of playing football, baseball, and…

    I love to write, I was a finalist in the Veteran’s Day essay in sixth grade and I spend my free time writing, reading or making up stories. Currently I’m writing a book called “Dark April” which is about all the bad things that happened on April 14th. This includes a long list such as Lincoln’s assassination, the first Jews reported at Auschwitz, the cure for typhoid is created and the sinking of the Titanic. I love to push my boundaries, and try new things like food or books. I love to learn about the world and have been to a few countries, however not as many as I would like to one day see. I received S.O.M (student of the month) four times in seventh grade, making honor roll three times, and receiving M.A.G.I.C student a total of seven times. I was placed into honors English and Spanish and even started my own sports blog. However my biggest academic achievement would be receiving the President’s Award for Outstanding Academics. I pride myself on my speaking skills, preforming in my church’s annual Christmas pageant and even forcing my brothers to be in my holiday plays in my basement. I enjoy doing readings during school Mass. I love little kids, so I took a baby sitting course called Safe Sitter. I read to little kids in the basement of my old church during mass, sang songs and did crafts with them because readings and Homilies are to complex for a bunch of three and five year olds. I went to the soup kitchen in Waukegan and helped out there for the afternoon, and I helped set up a haunted house at the Gorton community center for little kids, even helping re arrange paperback books at the library. I love being a leader because I stick up for what’s right. I’m independent and I don’t care what others think of me. I donate money to charities such as the Hole In The Wall Gang, which is now known as SeriousFun. I also ran a 5K for VIE, a group…

    I was awarded a wonderful education at Windham High School, but beyond the information I retained, I also learned what is important in life. At first, I thought all that mattered was the clothes you wore, what makeup you had on, and who you were friends with. There is more to life than all that. I love helping others and my induction into the National Honor Society allowed me to do just that, especially in my four service projects I had the opportunity to lead and be a part of. I try to please people and make sure they are always happy and I now know it is most important to give back to the community who gave me so much.…

    I have joined many extracurricular activities in school such as, Cross Country, Track, National Honor Society and UIL math competitions. From all this clubs I have been the leader for Track and Cross Country. I was the captain for track when I was in 10th grade also I have been the leader for cross country since my junior year. While leading this teams there were some obstacles we overcame as a team. We was not fast enough to win anything during my first year of leading the team, we was not as famous as we are now. We did not had many supporters in the arena we compete in also our own school kids did not knew us, all they knew were the football team, basketball and soccer team. This really upset me because I and my teammates deserved to be…

    When I was a National Honor Society Member at my High School, we were able to work with a program called VIP Soccer in which volunteers played with and taught special needs children the game of soccer. It was actually my favorite event within our organization especially when we got to see how happy each child was and the smiles on their parents’ faces when they saw that their son or daughter was having fun. Eventually, I was so inspired by this movement that I actually started a similar program but at my local golf club. How I got this started was actually by meeting the owner of the golf club, and the parents of my teammates on my school golf team. After a couple of months of planning and talking to more interested volunteers, I was finally…

    To this day I compete in my high school swim team, and yet I can’t seem to forget tryouts. All I remember is that I wasn’t sure of just how good I needed to be, so I spent five hours a day in the pool, burning my back just to make sure that I had done everything I could. That is to say that I see myself as a highly competitive individual, and I also have seen myself limited by my financial background. Maybe I couldn’t compete in the swim club, or maybe I couldn’t go to the FCCLA (a club) national competition this year because the trip to California was too expensive, but if something I am sure of, is that if I could, I would have. Now, surely I am unique, as it is technically impossible for someone to be exactly like anyone else, and what separates me from the rest, I think, is my tenacity, my need to grow. As a young child, I was constantly compared with to my older brother. He had good grades, he was smart. Being the youngest in probably most situations (I started school early) I was never heard, I was to follow examples, but I wanted to be the example. I want to be great, and I will be regardless of what challenges I have to face, or what barriers people put in front of me, I will be…

    I’ve always had lofty, perhaps unrealistic. In middle school, I naively assumed that I would be in top 12% of my class, by simply making A’s. I tried my hardest in every classes, but still wasn’t enough. I never reached my goal of being in top 12%, as a result my self-esteem plummeted. I started high school with high hopes once again. Perhaps even more naively, I pursued the goal of being ranked number one. I was too young to realize the concept of “realistic” goals. My biggest obstacle was my state of mind. I brought my self-down. I told myself the only way to be the best is to be better than everyone else. Setting such a high goal did help me in the end. After the second semester of freshman year, I received my rank. I was ranked number 10;…

    I was also selected two times for team captain because my coach seen great leadership in me. My team also gave me an award called "Mr. Get Right.” I was given this reward because if we were down I would recall a scripture that ties in with the situation, and everything would turn for the better.

    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…

    Every day I wake up determined to do more than I did the day before. My past achievements include gaining leadership skills, being on a varsity sport, and learning outside of school. I have been in tennis for eight years and varsity for three years, where I have received two awards for most improved player. I was accepted into the program “Trees for Tomorrow” where I learned how to manage and use natural resources in a classroom and in field studies. I participated in a new sport, a cross country ski team, where it taught me skills and strengthened my mind set about myself. My early years of high school, I was part of the backstage crew for a play, performed at my high school. The theatrical plays were terrible, under equipped, with barely…

    As a high school senior I sat in my room trying to decide my future in a day among dozens of college pamphlets. Somewhere at the bottom of all of those brochures was one for Motlow State Community College. Not only was it at the bottom of my pile, but it was completely outside of my radar at the time. Now, so many months later, I am sitting in a room on the Motlow campus typing this. I never once imagined myself here. Nevertheless, attending this school and joining the honors program was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Going on outings with other members of the honors program allowed me to get to know my peers, and in turn allowed me to become more confident in both my verbal and social skills. This will impact my future tremendously…
