Before talking about my history, I have to say that my ancestral history is what prejudiced in my values as a good human being. From generation to generation, my ancestors passed down values such as dignity, respect, honesty and etc. Without them, I have to say that I would not exist today as a good human being. The American cities included in my history are Rocky River and Lakewood. Those two cities are located in Ohio. All my ancestors were born and lived in India. My history will include 3 generations.…
The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year, I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother, taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay, even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother worked to help with bills, my mom being in the hospital, and my dad working. Taking care of my siblings consisted of cooking, homework, cleaning, nightly routine, and putting them to bed. When the work was done it would be around 10 o'clock. It was already tough to buckle down and focus on homework without all the stress. With all this my first semester grade was less than great.…
The hardest concept for me was simplifying quadratic equations. I was unsure when to use certain steps and simplifying odd square roots was difficult for me. I could have done more studying on the study plan and even online. I also should have attended the math tutoring available at our local University of Phoenix. I am not one to just guess answers without trying my hardest. I can not stand to have a problem and not find the solution. I also noticed one…
During my educational journey specifically at the high school, my goal was to be a best student in our year group. But I could not achieve it. I could not achieve it because, I thought I could do all my academical alone. I could not management my time well and also reframe myself from leadership and other peer responsibilities. With this behavior, I could not have much information about what is going around on campus and the available platforms to learn and explore more.…
One thing that I think that sets me apart from other candidates applying to the University of California is that I put my heart and soul on every assignment, projects and exam. I work hard and put time on the assignment, projects and exam. I also give my full effort. Whenever I give my heart and soul on the assignment or projects, I am able to learn more than I should learn. I was able to discover new facts that I did not know. For example, in my Pre Calculus class, we did a project about global warming. I have to research about global warming and predict total population, average temperature, carbon dioxide emission in the next 50 and 100 years from now. I took my time and read articles about global warming. While looking at the statistic, I was asking myself what is cause of increasing population, temperature, and carbon dioxide emission. I realize those three factors are causing global warming. I made sure that I did the math correctly. I also made sure that I explained the definition, cause, and effect of the global warming. I gave my heart and soul by giving my best effort and making sure my data and information…
My educational goals are to continue my education after high school by going to college for two years, studying criminal justice. I am currently working towards my goals by being in the Glendale Police Explorers Program. As of right now I am in the top 13% of my class and I am working on ending my senior year as top…
When I was a child, I always wanted to be a combat pilot. Was that what I really…
In general, I would describe my ability in math as average. I did well in elementary, but middle school was when I started having difficulties. When I took math I, I mostly got B’s and C’s on my tests, because I had a hard time understanding the material, or asking the teacher if I needed help with a certain concept. Overall, I think my average grade for math would be a B, but I would like to improve this year and get an A for a final grade. My parents definitely contributed to my overall success. If I didn’t have their support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I disliked learning trigonometry and graphing functions. I took math II online, so I wasn’t able to really use a worksheet and graph any problems for myself. I liked the substitution…
My educational goals can be said to be broken down into three parts that are really the means to my ends which is the fourth and most important goal. First, Im working on getting good grades in every class, I want to work on having and maintaining a high competitive GPA. My second goal is to get my Bachelors in Political Science in an ideal time frame of two more years. My third goal and one that is out of my hands, one may say, is getting a scholarship. I know there is a large amount of competitive students in the school, who are well deserving of scholarships but I need this scholarship to alleviate my parents from their stress and hard work to keep up with my payments. The last and really my main goal, where my eyes are set and where I,…
There I was laying on the field, during the second half of my football game, tossing and turning as I held my right shoulder in agonizing pain. I looked up only to see the trainer looking down at me with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Repeatedly I tapped my shoulder as I was struggling to get the words out. He helped me up and walked me back to the sideline. I waited for what seemed like hours for the game to end. A few days later, I went to a local doctor to get an X-ray. The doctor told me that there was nothing wrong and that the pain should subside in a couple of days, and it did. Later in the season as I went in for a tackle, I felt my shoulder pop. Immediately I was in pain and thought to myself, “ It happened again.” This…
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure. -Erin Cummings…
For a very different reason then most of you have given, my most valuable course was Algebra. I had been out of school for quite some time and had completely forgot how to do an algebraic equation. I had tried to take the class on-line at one point and withdrew. I was petrified of ruining my GPA. At a later date, I attended class on site and had a wonderful instructor that actually taught the class. You didn't have to google how to do it. This class taught me that I can do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. I still today remind myself that I can successfully accomplish things that I know nothing about. I received an A- in that class.…
Sometimes the most obvious person is the one you forget to ask. I was a fourteen year old boy, going to middle school in San Antonio, Texas. I was in advanced classes, and had never gotten below a high B on my report card. Throughout my whole life, I had only failed a few assignments and, to be honest, wasn’t used to having to work hard. When things started getting harder, I wasn't ready. I was able to pass math with help from my parents, who showed me that parents are your biggest supporters.…
There are so many amazing things to do, so many beautiful places to see as well as people to meet. I am a firm believer that if you want to do something, do it. Life is short and it isn’t guaranteed and that's my motivation for following my dreams after high school. Next August I have high expectations for myself. After high school, I plan to be enrolled in a four year college, I plan to leave South Bend and move to a different city, I also plan to travel.…
Algebra was one of the most difficult classes for me, and I wish that I would have gotten help on the subject and attended…
