High School Personal Statement
In high school I held several positions with crucial responsibilities.
During my senior year of high school I decided to join the school's newspaper staff. I had no prior experience, but I was quick to volunteer and cover big local events. After a year of writing all genres (sports, opinions, news, features), I received my biggest accomplishment: first place in Sports Writing, in the West Virginia Journalism Competition. Without dedication and determination, I would have never been able to win that award. There were many times the work was difficult, but I realized how important my role was on the newspaper staff and made sure to never let down the staff (any time a member of the staff was missing from class, it made it difficult for the entire

My Grandma is in charge of the St. Vincent Support Group for Special Needs. For many years I would help to set up events that were being held or sometimes I would even help during the events. Before switching to my current parish (St. Vincent), I had multiple roles at my previous parish I belonged to (St. Rose). I was a Eucharistic Minister for a couple years, an usher for seven years, an altar server for nine years, and an Altar Server Instructor for a handful of years as well. I also helped organize the holiday ceremonies. Every Saturday or Sunday for nine years I was holding some position at mass at St. Rose. Upon arriving to St. Vincent, I became an Eucharistic Minister shortly after joining the parish. To this day, I still hold that position there (when home from school). During school, I Eucharistic Minister at the campus mass.
My most recent accomplishments are mostly earned through ROTC. I was awarded a ribbon for achieving a GPA between a 2.90 and 3.20. I also was promoted to a team leader after one semester with the program. I also was appointed a leader during the LRC exercises at 2016 Spring FTX.
Last semester I also made the Dean's List with a GPA of

    Through UA Early College, I believe the program can help me accomplish my goals of expanding my studies for my majors, prepare me for when I become a full time college student, and uplift my chances of being accepted into college after I graduate high school. The classes that UA Early College offers will benefit me to obtain the information I need to earn the degree for my majors. For instance, the principles of biology 1 and 2, general chemistry, and general physics 1 and 2 are all in which the courses that are required to aid my studies in health science to apply in the work force of dentistry.

    When I was eleven years old I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I had a hard time coping with the changes in my mood. Part of my healing process consisted of trying many different medications, therapies, and developing the desire to heal. During this time, friends I had for many years pushed me away, and although I felt alone and confused at times, I came out thriving. Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder thought to be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain that can result in extreme swings in mood—from manic highs to depressive lows. To be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, you must have experienced a high period (mania). Bipolar mania is described as an “extreme high,” or feeling unusually great. Most people with bipolar disorder when ill or when symptomatic experience more lows than highs. Unfortunately, the lows I experienced were so extreme that the friends I thought would be by my side through anything chose to follow other kids and use my disorder to bully me creating deeper depression. Initially, I felt stigmatized by my diagnosis. Most people I encountered either didn’t know what bipolar was or how to interact with someone suffering with the disorder. Teachers, peers, and family members had a hard time knowing what to say or how to act around me. I started to feel like I was no longer my own person but just one big disaster and my mood swings became even more extreme as a result. Eventually, I grew tired of feeling sorry for myself and began my quest for the right medication, vitamins, nutrition, psychological and spiritual health and wellbeing. I found my inner strength and courage. I put my energy into school, new friendships and family and started…

    As I've gotten older through the years, mostly my late middle school and high school years, my interest in job careers has changed many times. Right now I'm interested in working with children. Mostly focusing on their development during preschool years. I've always wanted to work with people, I just didn't know in which field. This interests me because I can be the authority figure, gain experience in children before I actually have kids, and I can do a program for this during my junior and senior years in high school.…

    Although I don’t play three sports and do all the clubs my high school has to offer, one thing that I don’t have that sets me apart from other candidates is dedication. I would consider myself very dedicated. As a student, I am a very hard worker and put effort into all my assignments. I feel like it is an important characteristic to have when entering you next step in life. In my case that next step in life is college. As for dedication, I do my best whenever it comes to attendance and I hate to ever miss a day. I’ve heard stories where some students only come to class for three days, which is crazy. I get disappointed whenever I ever fail on anything, whether it be a school assignment or a small favor that my sister asked for.…
