Have you ever had to make a hard decision or pick between two things and you make the wrong choice? I have and it led to one of the most difficult times in my life.

A very wise uncle used to offer me guidance‚ which included “stay in school”‚ “you have plenty of time to make money”‚ “life will only get more complicated as you get older”. Nevertheless‚ I was young and foolish and did not heed his advice. I wanted to make my way into the world‚ and start earning money as a professional‚ not as a short-order cook in the family restaurant. Looking back through the lens of time it is easy to say that one of my greatest regrets was the decision not to go to graduate

I have worked very hard in my high school to become an engaged student that preserves with hard work and dedication. I have achieved this in many different ways but one of my favorites has to be becoming president of a student club called Youth Action Network.

Four years ago‚ I began my high school career not fully knowing who I was or what I wanted to become. Now‚ as a senior‚ I have discovered so much about myself through the clubs and activities which I am affiliated with. One of the touching moments in my time as a volunteer was when the BETA club helped to landscape the nursing home’s garden.
