“A Life Changing Event” There are many events that stand out in my life that were significant and helped me grow stronger. One of these events stands out in particular to me and had the greatest impact in my life. When I attended high school my focus was never on the academics but only on sports and having fun with my friends. I never payed attention for more than five seconds and failed to complete any type of work given to me. My lack of care for high school affected me on going to a four year college, playing a sport in college, and taking remedial classes. First off when one’s grades are poor it is extremely hard to get into a four year college. I would sit in all of my forty-five minute classes doodling, telling jokes, and just trying to distract everyone else from getting their education. I found every way of getting in trouble and in essence my grades reflected it. Most four year colleges you must have at least a 3.0 G.P.A. In my case my G.P.A was so low that the options were not even there at all. I was community college bound but I didn’t want to admit it so I continued to do what I was doing, failing. Also mostly all four year colleges you need to take the SAT’s and receive the grade they require. I signed up for the SAT’s and paid for them but failed to show up because I decided going to the beach with my friends was much more important to me. Four year colleges also want to see that you were involved in extra-circular activities and clubs. I had no problem playing sports but when it came to any type of club I wanted to no parts of it whatsoever. Colleges also have the access to look at your discipline record and any trouble you may have gotten into, needless to say my discipline record took up a few filing cabin... ... middle of paper ... ...d get serious. I am now completing all these classes and more so that I can transfer out of BCC as soon as possible to go to a four year college. The whole high school experience for me was one of the best times of my life but didn’t turn out how I’d hoped it would. I had fun whenever possible and to me that is always, thats just the way I am. I like to live my life in the moment and get the most fun out of everything I do. I guess one could say I slightly changed that mentality, now I pay attention a lot more and strive to do better in academics. If I had the choice to go back and change things in high school I honestly wouldn’t. There are many memories, being good or bad, that will last a lifetime. Now that I am taking credit classes I pay attention, take notes, and do well on tests. I think I will end up doing very well and reaching my goal of getting out of BCC.
Regretfully, when I entered high school I did not realize how hard I had to work to get what I wanted. I went to my classes, did my work, but never really pushed myself to my full abilities. I thought that as long as I graduated with decent grades I would be able to get into college and really focus then. But as high school quickly came to an end I realized that I was not as well prepared for college, as I would have liked.
High school did not prepare me for college at all. I didn’t even have to take any finals junior or senior year. Everything was very laid back and I felt like I had all the time in the world. My classes consisted of mainly art and band, so I didn’t have a whole lot of tough, time consuming assignments. The longest paper I have ever written was two pages. Even in my AP Calculus class everything was very laid back. I entered college with the same mindset; I thought I could handle
The event that happened in my life in which influenced and continues to influence my academic
Everyone has a story, a pivotal moment in their life that started to mold them into the person they are today and may even continue to mold you to the person that you will become, I just had mine a little bit earlier than others. When I was three years old my brother became a burn survivor. It may seem too early for me to remember, but I could never forget that day. Since then, I have grown, matured and realized that what my family and I went through has been something of a benefit to be and an experience that has helped me in deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life.
My High School life has helped shape the way for my college experiences that I will face. My senior year in high school is not the same as many other high school students. I am taking many advanced classes to help me prepare for college. These classes help me better understand exactly how much harder I must work to succeed.
I'm still in high school, but I wish I did a lot of things differently. First would be my perspective on the high school experience. I would change looking at high school as another couple of years before going to college, it's actually more important than that. The 4 years of high school are the last years of one's childhood and it's the time to prep for college (adulthood).
In my life I have had many major impacts in my life that motivated me towards what I should do in life. They have been caused by certain individuals, certain events, and certain educational experiences. However, one certain educational experience that motivated me the most, towards what I want to become, a Dentist, are my high school science classes specifically my Physics, Biology, Advanced Biology, and Chemistry classes. These classes impacted my life by showing what I am good at, which career I would most likely want to go into, and also how going into that certain career would help me benefit myself and the public.
First off, the college life has changed me for the better. I am much more responsible in many different ways. I had to change my study habits, or should I say I have to get study habits. I high school I never studied, because everything came so easy to me and I could just do the work and end up with passing grades. When I reached college I tried to do the same thing and it didn’t work. I had to start studying on a daily basis and it was hard to go from not doing any work to studying every night and on the weekends, I wasn’t use to that, but I had to make it a habit or I was not going to make it. Going to school everyday was not a problem because my parents made me go everyday, my major change was my study habits.
Everybody has a moment or two in their life that they will remember forever in perfect detail. For me the moments that I will remember for as long as I live are the times when, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and tore my anterior cruciate ligament, or better known as ACL.
I have been shaped by several major life events that all took place when I was ten years old. After each event, my perspective of the world changed, and I learned to cope with change easily.
When I try and think of a specific time or life event that made an impact on my life I think of the day I had each of my children. For any mother this is a similar day she will look back on as an event that changed her life. My youngest son Oliver has a lot of complex medical issues, and has given me quite a few life changing events in his short 18 months. Oliver was born on January 15, 2015 on a military base in Laundstul, Germany. We named him Oliver because it means unique and dignified. We chose the name after we discovered he had a cleft Lip. He defiantly fits that description. Oliver has been in and out of the hospital since he was born, from the time he was born he had difficulty absorbing his food. He would eat and eat, but not gain
“An Event Which Changed My Life” An Event which changed my life, well when, I think back on my life there’s Many changes for the good and some were bad but, there were some learning experiences that help make me a better person. The events in my life, was dealing with the Birth and The Death of my first daughter. The First, Event was the birth of my first daughter it, was a joyous event in my life.
I’m not saying I was going to become a complete bitch, but I did feel as though out of every clique, I was supposed to be apart of the popular one. With my popularity would also come lots of friends, and lots of friends meant parties every other weekend. I pictured having a pretty busy schedule. This was the furthest thing to come true. Since I went to a small school, we didn’t really have any cliques, so nobody was actually considered popular, everyone for the most part was cool with everyone, which wasn’t really a bad thing; it was just kind of weird. As for going to cool parties every weekend and having a busy schedule, well that was replaced with reading and watching Netflix. There was an occasional party here and there, and I did hang out with friends; I wasn’t a total loser, but, it wasn’t the high school memories I pictured I would be having. I can’t complain too much though, I did get to go to Italy, which was pretty awesome in my
A single moment, captured by modern cameras, has the ability to describe some of the important events of my life. My mom always loved embroidering and designing clothes; these were her past time hobbies. She would get extremely involved in creating creative designs for me, my sister, and herself. The thing that I hated the most was that she would not be mentally present in family conversations. She would just be in her own “clothing world.” Even though I hated her boring hobby, but I loved wearing clothes designed by her, because the style would always match with the current fashion and make me look unique. When we came to U.S.A., she started working at an Indian boutique. She loved working there, but her family, including me, was not happy
Time flies so fast. Looking back, my high school is just like a movie, a lot of things happened. High School is four years of growing up and probably a time in your life where you go through the most changes. In high school you are able to discover yourself and find out who you are as a person. Each year is special and unique in their own way. My journey through high school was a tough one, especially because I decided to not only focus on academic work but also to invest quality time in extra curriculum activities. I wanted more than just academic excellence; I wanted to be a leader, I wanted to add value to every aspect of my life, I wanted a rounded education and not just mere schooling. My success story is what I will like to share with you; how I really made it and how this defines my personality. My journey in High School was scary, exciting, and successful.
