Successful: High School and People

SUCCESSFUL My standards are set high as I watch people try to bring me down each and every day. They try to tell me all the negatives things on how I’m not going to be anything. This makes me want to try harder. All my life I been struggling and stressing, that’s why I came in a pathway with aggression. Where I’m from I see nothing that can lead me to be successful in life. I had been though the worst but I still give my best. God made my mold different from the rest. He broke the mold so I know I’m blessed this is my world. As I trials and tribulations I will achieve it all school, career, and family with or without people. During my years as a student in high school I did not believe I would make it this far. From the way I would listen to the people who brought me through hell and back, no I didn’t assume I would make it this far. I just was thinking about the negative and hurtful things people would tell me throughout my years. I took what people thought about me to a place where I began to believe it myself. I will have my education, and still try to prove people wrong. My currently GPA is a 2.7 wow; right I’m proud of myself. What can I say the years they brought me down look at me now? I’m currently graduating early; I was supposed to be a student from the class of 2015. Instead, I decided to get out of school early. People sometimes question why I made this decision. Personally sometimes I try to ignore their question. Some people think I’m doing it because of my sister, not at all. I had all my credits to become a twelfth grader, so why stay in school for another year. When I could be on my next journey to become successful. Since I have been in school the ACT test really not for me. I know it’s important, but I’m not going to take it. I want to prove people that brought me through hell and back throughout my high school years. I would make it somewhere in life with or without them. I think high school is not that bad my step next is to make it in college. Do I think high school and college is the same? Not at all, I think I would love college only because it is a place where all my achievement starts.
After high school I plan on enrolling into Baton Rouge Community College. For business I want to own my business that sell clothes and etc. BRCC is a good school for business; I will not play around as such as I did in high school. How will I pay for it with financial aid that I already done apply for? Having my own business I think it would be successful. Fashion today, in our generation is on top from clothes to shoes. I love the fashion industry from the high heels, wedges, and the different type of clothes. Once I receive a masters degree in business, I want to go back to school for education. I aspire to be a special education teacher that works with students all ages. They provide instruction for students with a variety of mental, physical and emotional disabilities. I like working with new people and having too see new faces. I think a special education teacher would fit me why because of my personality. My personalities toward people with special needs are very important to me. I think everyone would be treated the same way no matter what his or her education are. Once I get successful in my goals I have dreams also and will achieve them. I aspire to move to Atlanta, and start my business out there. Then, I aspire to get married, and have a loving family that I can be thankful for. I want two kids, and husband that treat me like his queen. One I can trust and give my heart, care, and respect to. I want a boy and a girl. I also want a big house with two or three cars. I aspire to take my family out on dates, and have family nights. For example, a game night; this could have us with us with laugher and enjoyment. My husband also has to be successful because our life will not just depend on me. We can work on our family together depending on each other. I aspire him to have an education and be successful. My mother always told me never to depend on a man, but if I have a husband we depends on each other. I want to give my family the world and enjoy the entire blessing we will achieve together. Coming toward is a beginning; keeping together is process; working together is success. In my life there was some pressure, judgment, and questions. I have overcome them all and working on my future. A future that I will thank God for allowing me to become the person I am. I will be that successful person that people who brought me through hell and back. Yeah they can tell everybody, go ahead and tell everybody I am the girl. I believe every lie that they told me paid for every heart I ever stole. I got answers to all their questions. Just watch my achieve my goals and work on to be success. Dream chaser, risk taker no favor though the haters they might want me to drown holding me down. But the throne and the crown is all I ever wanted, all I ever needed. If I’m the only one and nobody else believe it. Then keep it a secret and watch me achieve it cause I know what I want now. Formula for success: rise early, work hard, and strike oil. Screw it I’m doing it! I’m be successful that will keep moving I may make mistakes, but I will not quiet. I will make it somewhere and plan for the better with or without people. I’m just on a road to success and prove some people wrong. That I will be successful I may not have it all now, but just watch me later. This is my final draft I hope you enjoy it!

    From a young age we’re asked what we want to be when we grow up, never how we expect to become when we grow up. I was well aware of what I wanted to become, but not sure how to get there until I started high school when my counselor explained to me the importance of having a full portfolio with a wide range of extracurricular activities. Then it became clear to me, I needed extracurricular activities to become who I wished to be. Throughout my high school career I’ve participated in several extracurricular actives such as math club, soccer and UIL One Act. In the future, I want to participate in these activities or anything similar to those I participated in high school.…

    When I was in high school I wasn't a very good student. I really didn't apply myself to anything. I had no dreams of going to college or doing anything special with my life. No one had ever encouraged me to do any better than I was or to try harder. My parents were not college graduates, they both had full time jobs plus nine kids to raise. I knew that there wasn't any money to send me to college, and my guidance counselor never explained to me about financial aid. I graduated, got a job and worked one dead end job after another until I got married and started a family. I spent the next fifteen years raising my daughter and encouraging her education. About a year ago my husband decided he wanted a divorce and I was left wondering; “What am I going to do now?” Since graduation I have regretted not going to college, I have always wanted to work with children, either as a counselor or in social work. My parents suggested that maybe I look into going back to school. I applied at Southern New Hampshire University and I was admitted. My first reaction was that I'm going to fail, I started by taking two classes every eight weeks and to my surprise I didn't fail and I loved it. I had to take some time off to finalize the divorce and when I was mentally ready I applied to Ashford. I started last year thinking that I was going to fail and realized that if I try hard enough I can achieve my goals. I'm not scared of failing anymore, I am however afraid of letting myself down for not trying hard enough, and for me that isn't good enough anymore. I want better for myself and I want to look in the mirror everyday and be proud of who I see.…

    The school that I come from, Campolindo High School, is one of the best high schools in the state. We were often told to not be worried about getting what we believe to be bad grades in the harder classes that we take because getting a B or sometimes even a C is equivalent to get an A in most other high schools. We have been told throughout high school that a high standard is expected of us, like receiving high scores on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP exams, the CAHSEE, and the Star tests. We are also expected to behave a certain way outside of school because it has a reputation to uphold and all of us are linked to that reputation. I think that high standard from Campolindo has transferred and been engrained in life outside of school. From this point on in my life, I will expect only the best of myself because anything less than that isn’t worth the time or the effort and it just looks bad to other people as well. I don’t have to succeed all the time in everything that I do, but I must always learn from what I fail at so the next time I attempt it, I will succeed. Campolindo High School has opened up endless possibilities for my future and I am very excited to experience them.…

    School is a place where your teachers and peers should always be counting on you and lifting your spirits up, not a place where you are told you will fail. Failure is something that every person encounters in there life, but how they get there defines who they are. Not winning or losing but the path you took and how hard you worked in achieving your goals. If your start with the right foundation and push yourself to the limit, whether you win or lose does not define you as a person, or at least you shouldn’t allow it to, because I certainly don’t. Walking into my class everyday and being told I will not go to college or that I will not succeed can be a real downer, but you can’t let others tell you what you can or cannot do. You must push through people's judgements and not allow it to define you. At the end of the day, how you are as a person defines your future and if that is true, I know that no matter what I put my mind to I can get there in the best way because I work hard, because school and testing does not come easy to me. I have to work for every little thing I do because I am not a machine that can process and memorize information on the first try.…

    Everything is going to be hard after high school. Not having structure will definitely be really tough, all the pressure of getting into colleges and not having something to build my schedule around will probably stress me out a lot.

    My final report card resulted in three D’s and a F. I made a promise to my self that my senior year was going to be better; I would stay more focused, make not only myself but my parents proud also, and change my life’s direction for the better. I did exactly that, I turned in my assignments on time and sometimes even get praised for my academic improvement this year. I was headed in a horrible direction and I knew I wanted to attend a university. I had to ask myself “how bad do you truly want this Destiny?” and instead of answering my own question I had to let my actions speak for me. I am now an A and B student and plan to keep it that way until I get my masters degree in legal studies. My goals were on the line, and also my future I had no choice but to make a decision.…

    College is a major step in the lives of anyone who chooses to attend, and there are undoubtedly many challenges and difficulties that will ensue. One thing that I anticipate will challenge me in college is the newfound abundance of free time. The high school that I attend, The Hill School, is a very academically rigorous and time-consuming place. At the Hill, there is very little, if any unstructured time throughout any given day. One of the school’s missions is to better prepare students for life after high school, and more specifically, teach students how to properly utilize any available time they may stumble upon. Regulating the time of students is both a curse and a blessing; in that order. Not having time to simply relax and do what you…

    I’ve always strived for excellence and set high standards for myself. But my standards have a tendency to be so high they couldn’t be met, or are only met with great difficulty. That's why I’m a chronic perfectionist. I expected to confidently walk up to that podium without a need for notes and speak eloquently. No matter what, student, friend, or daughter, I crave perfection. I was so scared of messing up, I ended up doing that very thing. It's natural to have negative feelings when you fail, but I attached all this negative feeling to how I generally felt about myself.…

    People who heard what I wanted to become kept criticizing the fact that I won't get admitted to an aviation university, that it is hard to get it; it made me think that they were not believing that I can make it to that same level because girls in our community are likely not to be that intelligent to make such progress after all they are taken to be the dumbest in the society.I got confused when I started failing in class that what I heard wasn’t a lie at all as it happened to me,I thought about giving up but then after a movie about genocide survivors who got more failures and terrible crushes;rose up and made up their minds to work hard to rebuild what was lost I felt…
