My High School Accomplishments
3. There are many things I would want to say about myself and my accomplishments on the day I graduate high school. A few are what, hopefully will take place in my high school years. I would like to be able to say that I have grown throughout these four years of high school, in more ways than one. I have grown in academics, but also as a person. Standing there, on the day of graduation, I would want to say that I look toward the future of my life, to college, to my life after this moment. I would like to look back to the past and see how far I’ve come, all that I have accomplished since then. The fact that I have succeeded in graduating high school, should be an accomplishment to note upon. I have completed the basics of my education, and …show more content…
As a young adult, my plan is fairly simple, with a few necessities. I would like to have a stable job, that is good work with a salary that provides me a comfortable lifestyle. The most important part of my young adulthood would be me liking my job and career. That I enjoy my job, enough that I would be able to do it for some of my life and my career enough to do it for the rest of my life. I would want to be able to support myself and live comfortably. Have a place to myself, most likely close to my job, so my time wouldn't be spent on the commute. Aside from these goals that are apart of my plan to young adulthood, I want to have time for other things, not just work. I want time for friends and family, my hobbies. Overall though, this is where I wish to see myself by the time I am a young …show more content…
There are many different, unique parts within my family culture. My immediate family’s culture does not follow a belief or religion. Instead, my family has rules, habits, activities and other things along those lines that we consider our family culture. One of the most important standards my family lives by is simple manners and rules. Always respect each other, be polite, make sure the work you're responsible for is complete (this could be chores, homework, etc), if you find yourself in an argument or disagreement, work it out. Basically, the usual inner workings of a family. Traditions in my family are fairly simple, but important to us, nonetheless. A few of them are being there to support each other, encouraging each other to do our best, to go above and beyond. For example, my two sisters and I play tennis, and my family make it a top priority to support each of us in our tournaments. Or try harder at everything we do, try our best and improve on what we set our mind to. A standard of my family is to graduate college. Many if not all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc have graduated college. Another standard of my family is succeeding. This does not mean if we fail, we are looked down upon. It just means that we have the courage and strength to get back up and try again. To not give up, and to have the mindset that if we keep going, we’ll get it eventually. To succeed by our own standards, no one else’s. My role in my family is simply put, the helper and supporter.

    2. Complete the following statement as clearly and directly as you can: “I am especially proud of the following achievement….” I am especially proud of my completion from a Harvard course at the age of 15. From keeping up with undergraduate students, spending hours on homework, being on my own for the first time, and the overall challenges that come with accommodating to a new environment, I was able to adapt and thrive in my situation. I learned to be more confident and independent from being alone for the first time.…

    Family traditions are a mixture of people’s attitudes, ideas, and cultures in which a person learns values. Family traditions do help people build characteristics that involve their self and others around them. A person’s family can help make the final result of who or how an individual person turns out, but only if that person chooses to follow these traditions and keep them alive. People are different in many ways but they are also alike in many ways. Families are one of the ways people are alike and the social upbringing one may have had. The traditions in a family are one of the ways people are different. Family traditions are a social and personal identity that everyone develops that belong to a family or a group. The family and all that is inherited helps people become who they are as adults. Also, as individual people they do not have to follow what they were taught while growing up. Some people are considered the black sheep in their family. This is because they do not act and/or believe in the same manor that their family taught them. They go against the cultural norm and do not act or believe the same way they were taught when growing up. People are given values and goals to help them be guided in life, but some do not follow guidance and do or believe the way they feel is in their best…

    The MHS Honor Society would benefit from my membership because I am involved in many activities, take challenging courses in school, and have been volunteering all of my life. I am involved in sports including cross country, track and field, and multiple intramurals. In cross country, there are no elected captains, but rather we are expected to step up and become leaders. I have stepped up and become a leader over the past couple of years. I have planned summer running, ran with my team to make them better, and also encouraged them all to do their best. I won the MVP and Jesse Citrowski Heart of the Tiger Award. I am also involved in other activities such as, knowledge bowl, which I was voted co-captain, Link Crew, Marshall ACTS, Tiger Activities…

Just in case I don’t get accepted there, I want to go to Mary Mount University because my aunt goes there.

    I am looking forward to describing my most memorable high school and college experiences. I would really love for my teachers to appreciate me for all the hard work I’ve done. For those people that didn’t know about my ambition and what it really meant to sacrifice, it meant a lot to my family. I’ve gotten involved in school activities, community service, and school events and a lot more. I felt that once I graduated from school I would be able to get involved with continuing education even more.…

    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…

    A family is made up of people who care and love one another. A positive childhood and family tradition is what keeps a person connected to their family. No family is perfect and they will go through things, but it’s the love that keeps them together. Family traditions and cultural contribute to an individual self- identity because people who have knowledge of their family history are well-adjusted. Some people may disagree that family history is not shared and valued among individual family members. However, family history is shared and valued among individual family members because it’s what makes the individual who they are as a person which inhibits the person-identity.…

    Today, June, 26th, 2012, is the day that we, as a class, are going to graduate the eighth grade. Of course, we all know that. But do we really understand what it all means? The definition of graduation is to complete a class or course of study. That’s it, the original definition of graduating. To me, graduation means more than that. It means growing, it means changing, and it means moving on. Today, the ceremony might seem like it's all happening too fast, or, it might seem like it's never going to end, but all our lives we'll remember it, and that's what counts. My two years of middle school have been a time to remember, I’ve learned a lot during my time in middle school, and these memories are what we are going to remember for the rest of our lives.…

    My Heritage

    In every conceivable manner, a family is liked to our past, and a bridge to our future. We all live in a family setting that can consist of one or many of our relatives. Growing up I lived with my mother, father, and my two younger brothers. I was born in Wurzburg, Germany due to the fact that my father was in the Army but I grew up in rural Portland, North Dakota. The nice thing for me growing up was the fact that both sets of my grandparents and my aunts and uncles also lived there. I believe our family traditions and the cultural legacies came from my ancestors, grandparents, and my other relatives. Our family traditions and our cultural beliefs contribute to our family values in which we follow today. I believe we take the parts of the past that meant the most to us and we also combined it with the new traditions we follow today that were created by our family. As a family style we make a house a home with love to share with all that live there.…
