Life Changing Seminar Spending 3 days with total strangers made a bigger impact on me than I thought it would ever. At the end of sophomore year‚ I was given an opportunity to attend a seminar called Missouri Leadership Seminar (MLS). This seminar was just for one sophomore from schools all across Missouri. The seminar took place at the University of Central Missouri not too far from home‚ but it was a good distance. Going into this seminar I had not an idea to expect. I just thought this was

that my childhood is coming to an end‚ I notice that it is hard to keep track of all of the accomplishments I have made throughout life. However‚ the greatest achievement that resonates in my mind was when I had overcome my suicidal tendencies and depression during my sophomore year of high school. The person I was before didn’t think I would make it to this point in life where I would be writing my personal statement for colleges. I honestly thought I was not going to get better as it was very difficult

“Opa” is the Greek word that is often said when people celebrate life. The meaning is separated into three parts: connect meaningfully with others‚ engage with deeper purpose‚ and embrace life with attitude. I first began living with this standard after losing in a competition when I was in the seventh grade. This loss made me realize that setbacks should not let you down‚ and that better things are soon to follow. When I was in seventh grade‚ my middle school participated in a very well-known

who walks in to the building can just sense the happy vibe‚ no matter what happens outside of the building‚ whether you have had a bad morning‚ or problems at home. The school was a cheerful place‚ where you could escape from all the negativity in life‚ well at least that’s what I thought and felt about it. Everyday I dreaded getting out of bed in the morning‚ most days at that. I was lucky to be in Mrs Wedlich’s 12th grade English class. Walking into her classroom was like walking into a movie.

all‚ and perhaps the problem with that is that I can’t accept anything as being done well enough unless I have done it perfectly. In my mind‚ "good" isn’t good enough‚ I feel I need to be "excellent" and "extraordinary." I want to grab all I can from life‚ fill my arms with every kind of experience to the point to where if I add one more thing‚ everything I strived to achieve is dashed away‚ and I have to start from the ground up. I work to the point to where I can barely balance‚ and still refuse to

When I first stepped foot on SUNY Oneonta’s campus‚ I was extremely nervous and scared. My parents kept telling me‚ “College is supposed to be the best four years of your life.” However‚ at that point in time‚ I didn’t necessarily agree with them. I didn’t have a lot of friends in high school and wasn’t involved in a lot of extra curricular activities. So coming here was a big culture shock. I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get involved and make a name for myself. I couldn’t sit back and

Everyone in life will have their own personal obstacles they will have to face in life. Some people will mentally shut down and give up when faced with a challenge. Others will take their challenges and use them to better themselves. The obstacles that I have faced in my life have never hit me harder than they have these past few months. This being my senior year‚ I always expected it to be the most laid back and relaxing year of my high school career. When in fact I set myself up for one of the

sort of challenge at one point or another. Unfortunately‚ this is part of being alive. Personally‚ the biggest challenge I have ever been faced with was dealing with extremely painful injuries during my sophomore football season. Football is an extremely important part of my life. My sophomore year‚ as well as every other year‚ I came into the season with the greatest possible feeling of excitement. It was my first year of playing varsity‚ and I was convinced that it was going to be the team’s
