Reflection On Arapahoe High School
While attending Arapahoe High School I tend I consider myself an accomplished student as I maintain an average GPA and spend time taking part in extracurricular activities. I elucidate subjects by taking time to seek help from teachers and staff. I strive to be the most optimal student that I can no matter what the circumstances are.
My ACT scores do not reflect me as a student. I have taken the ACT four times, even though my scores are improving it is not showing an precise description of how I am as a student. I got the opportunity to obtain help from a tutor for all four tests which helped but did not place me where I needed to be. Every night I stayed up late trying to figure out strategies and ways to improve my score. Once the test

    I went to St. Michael School from Kindergarten through Eighth grade, so when it came time to leave for high school, I was not excited for the change. St. Michael was especially small in regards to student population. We had just under three hundred students split between all nine grades. That left roughly twenty to thirty kids per class. I was extremely used too this small environment and not exactly looking forward to the terrors of high school towering over me nor the thought of being lost in the sea of students. Over the years I was extremely imbedded in my academics. I had straight A’s for my entire time at St. Michael. I received the academic achievement award at Eighth grade promotion for having the highest GPA in my class. Despite this, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to live up…

    The public education system in the United States puts a greater emphasis on test scores and grades that it does actual learning. While around 80 percent of high school students graduate, most of them are not being prepared for what comes next. I have come to believe that there is more to education that a decent GPA, so I have tried to enrich myself with as much real-world experience as possible during my time in high school, while still trying to maintain my grades. My time in leadership positions, desire to work with other intellectual individuals, and rigorous academic goals all make me an exceptional candidate for the Honors College at East Carolina University.…

    While at Albany, I have high hopes and expectations out of my college education. My focus is to succeed academically. I plan on getting my bachelors in nursing and later on pursuing a master’s degree to become a Nurse Practitioner. I expect the courses that I take to not only develop my knowledge but to also strengthen what I already have. Many people do not succeed in college because a lack of resources or they are not taking advantage of the resources that are given to them. Being a part of the Honors Program, I plan to take advantage of every single resource, to make sure that I never fall behind or start slacking on any of my college work. While in high school I was an honors student in 9th-12th grade. Although it was high school, the work came…

    Not only do I work very hard to achieve my goals, but I take pride in my accomplishments. I am never happy with something that I know is less than my best. I strive for excellence always. Throughout my high school career I have been on the high honor role every marking period, and I have been student of the month for at least one month each year. At the end of my sophomore year I ranked as number 7 in my class. Also, my GPA has never gone below 4.0 and I have never received a grade less than a B+. I believe that the fact that I was nominated to be a member of the National Honor Society shows my academic achievement in itself.…

    I am deeply honored with the opportunity to become a member of National Honors Society. As a student with a 4.3 grade point average, this has always been something I have looked forward to. My grades are my top priority. Classmates in school admire me and call me “smart”, I, in the other hand, do not think of myself as smart. To be more precise, I think of myself as a student that has taken the opportunities given and has used them wisely. I have gave every class my best, and have tried to do all things to the best of my ability. I feel that I am a hard worker. I am a one hundred percent dedicated to anything I am a part of.…

    I think that I challenged myself to receive good grades, and that I have done so this semester. I am eager to find out new or different things that I have some knowledge about, but I was amazed at the things I thought were right with counseling issues that I was completely wrong about. I am sure that I still have a long way to go, and many new things to learn. I feel that I was entirely invested in this class and all the assignments that were given to me. I wasn’t late on any assignments and many times had the assignment finished before it was due. I read each chapter carefully and was interested in each new thing that I found. I always want to do my very best in each class that I take. I returned back to college when I was 40 years old. This was something that I had dreamed of for many years, but was afraid to try it. I thought that I wasn’t smart enough to go back to school. I am glad that I made this decision even if it was many years after I should have done it.…
