During my freshman year I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t have any passion to do anything and I was letting that show through my grades. I then realized then that not having good grades wasn’t what I wanted, I wanted to go to college and prove to myself that I could do it. I worked harder and even though I struggled and had tough times I decided that I would put more effort into my work and not let anyone see me as someone I wasn’t. While in my freshman year I had struggled greatly with math. Taking an online course was new for me so the environment didn’t help with me learning new things. I had taken a photography class in my freshman year as well and remember that it was my favorite one to take and I completed the course quickly. I learned then that this class was my passion and I wanted to work hard so that I would be able to do something that I enjoy with a burning passion. I then decided that photography was what I wanted to do in life and tried my hardest. I remember I cried and had many moments of feeling dread and wanting to give up when I saw that I was failing my classes and didn’t at least have a high C. This …show more content…
If I was in a struggle I would seek guidance in how to get myself out of that position because I know that I am not a person anymore who will accept something lower then what I know I could achieve. Photography is my passion and something that I have been working on and loving for more than three years and is not something I would let go of easily, I have worked hard to try and achieve the goal of going to a school that could expand my knowledge of photography and helping me work harder and have better end results in my work. Being passionate about something like this has drove me to work harder and better and even if I am accepted into SCAD I should not let that hard work go to waste and I would work even harder to have a better
At one point I came to the conclusion that I’m either going to fail, go to summer school, or go to a school that I didn't want to attend. I felt so disappointed in myself because I knew that I could've done better. So then one day I told myself, “I can do this”. I then started to study more than I usually did, I turned in all of my missing work and my present work, and I also took an after school tutoring class
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.
All of my classes in high school I passed with no struggle. I would cram all the knowledge that I needed for a test the night before, so I thought college would not be any different. A week or two before my first ever college exam the professor announced that if we had not already been study, then we should start to right away. Being a young naive freshmen, I kind of blew the teacher off. Telling myself that I did not need to waste the next few weeks studying for one exam. So I waited until the last day to study. You might have an idea of what happened next. I failed the exam. Failing so bad that it would be nearly impossible for me to still get a C in the course. I could not even look at myself. The thought of disappointing my parents was making my stomach turn. This fear of failing the class was tearing me apart. The only chance at passing this class was if I turned myself into the perfect student. This meant turning things in on time, studying days in advance for exams, and going to my professor’s office hours. And that is exactly what I did. By some seriously hard work, long nights, and over a hundred red bulls, I was able to achieve a passing grade with a
The Ultimate Career Goal: I am extremely passionate about marine and wildlife ecosystems and all their inhabitants and have a desire to work in a career that allows me to work closely within these ecosystems as well as allowing myself to educate those that surround me about the importance of science. My ultimate career goal is to work as a laboratory and field technician for a reputable company or organisation.
When I was in middle school I was considered weak, soft, and a person who needed attention. They would say these things despite my athleticism and determination to do the best in whatever I’d do. When I realized the only way to prove them wrong i turned to my athleticism and the only thing keeping me sane was my passion for poetry. I did this all in the hopes of making it into college.
The Hobby that became My Passion 3…2…1…Launch! Woosh! That is the sound of a model rocket taking flight and a passion for rocketry being born. My participation in rocketry began when I received my first model rocket in grade school and since then, my appreciation for rocketry has done nothing but soar. Rocketry has benefited my education as I have participated in Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC), entered in science fairs, and mentored local rocket clubs.
I have always had a passion for nursing. As a child, I watched my mother getting up early, putting her scrubs on and headed out the door for a 12 hour shift. She was always content, and at ease to go for a long shift and even overtime at times. I love the fact that after work, she would always come home, satisfied with the day no matter how hard it was for her. She would sit and tell my brothers and sisters how she enjoyed the conversations that she had with her patients and what impact she had on their lives that day. Listening to these stories as a child, I knew that I wanted to become a nurse and listening to the same stories and helping people, making their day feel better. I wanted to follow my mom’s footsteps. At the end of a long shift, it is a rewarding profession, knowing that I am saving people’s lives, making them comfortable when they are near of dying, advocate and teaching them. As nurses, we care for patients through illness, injury, aging, health. We also promote health, prevent diseases and teaching the community; that’s what I love about nursing. I believe that this is the right profession for me because I have all the qualities that a nurse should possess when
I have wrestled with what my calling is for some time. I have never really been confident in decisions and I have done a fair amount of reading on the topic of calling. I was certain of what I did like and what my gifts were, but I think I approached it the wrong way at first. I often doubt myself and become restless when things do not go the way that I had anticipated. Recognizing that my calling, purpose or job in whichever point in life is not to have it all figured out or to be comfortable, our calling is to allow God to work in us right where we are.
Since 7th grade I've been challenging myself and my teacher that I could ace a test. Apparently in 7th grade I didn’t ace my test, but instead I got a C for me it means that I failed. I cried, I felt like I was a failure and I'll never achieve this goal, and I felt I'll never be useful or important in life if I don’t at least achieve one goal. But then,
I believe in following your passion. I believe that your passion should be able to express who you are, and guide you. I have many passions which I found throughout my life, and the first one I found was my passion of technology. This all started when I was in first grade.
When looking at what you plan to do with your life, you get excited and passionate about that one thing that you want to do for the rest of your life. You spend most of your life going to school and preparing yourself for the job that you will have, probably for the rest of your life. Many Christians look at there job and think about how they are doing this job for our God. Through my vocation I see “The Image of God” and “the fall” through the hard times and balancing my faith and science. Also, when you think about what vocation you go into you have to believe that God is placing that desire on your heart to pursue that passion for the rest of your life and ultimately being passionate about it for Jesus Christ and to worship Christ and our
My passion in life is computers and technology. My goal in life is to create something that would greatly contribute or impact our society. I realized that utilizing my passion for computers would enable to help me achieve that goal. My passion for technology began when I was about 5 years old. Technologies in my country, the Philippines, are a little bit outdated compared to other countries.
Since a young age it was embedded within me that failing could never be a option. I remember when I was in the 12th grade and I had received my first D on a test. I was literally devastated and at a lost for words. I swore my chances to get into a good school was shot and the school year didn’t even end yet.
Passion for Family, Community, Business, Technology and Intellectual growth are what motivate me on the daily basis. These are vital parts that have contributed to framing me into the person I’ve become. They have also shaped my short-term and long-term goals in life. It’s critical for one to have a vision for their life and what they anticipate to accomplish. Without a vision or desire there is no hope for one to continue and to purse anything. My experiences with in my passions have helped me aligned my vision for my life. They have given me the valuable knowledge that have set me up for success to get to this point in life.
Every day, many people question my passion for pursuing accounting as a profession and the first answer I think of is that I am good with numbers. However, advancing in the field has made me realize that my passion is not only based on figures. Growing up as a kid, I was privileged to have a piggy account where I would save as little as fifty cents per week. Since my parents rewarded me in monetary value as a positive reinforcement in cases of good behaviour, I was motivated to maintain good manners so long as my savings increased. As time went by, I realized I had saved way “too much” money for a little child. The challenge came in the management of the funds because I was focused on spending more on pleasurable activities. However, the guidance of my parents enabled me to prioritize on the more important things and save more. I took interest in managing may own account as a child and even pursued accounting courses in high school. The interest grew deeper because I gained more insight on the facts about accounting and the career. Also, I believed that it is career that one would be self-employed thereby avoiding the dilemmas of lacking jobs after graduating. For instance, one would easily start their own business and manage their finances comfortably.
