Recommended: Achieving educational goals

Since a young age I became to realize that playing the school game would get me to achieve one of my biggest goals which is to attend a four year college. I learned that being a smart quiet non trouble student would get me to accomplish this dream. During middle school I would work really hard to always having straight A’s on my report cards. It seemed really easy during middle school since I didn’t have difficult courses. But this changed once I entered High School. I had to give more effort and spend more hours of doing homework every night. I was also determined to take the most rigorous classes available. Frequently I had to sacrifice my free time in order to do homework. Throughout this I was able to demonstrate to myself that I am capable

    High school is a strange time. After three years of trying to develop identity and friends in middle school, students are expected to mature immediately on the first day of ninth grade, but I never did this. I never fully realized in the earlier grades how important high school success, as measured by GPA, would be to my future life, and as a result I am applying to college with seemingly contradictory measures of my ability to perform college-level work. If I had worked and studied hard rather than hanging out with friends and viewing high school as an opportunity to socialize, I would not have to apply to school with a 1300 SAT and a 2.7 GPA. Had I taken my grades in my earlier years seriously, I could have been a college's dream candidate.

    When I came into Boston College, right away the expectations I held for myself very much focused on school. For the last two years, I went to a preparatory boarding school where I faced a multitude of challenges, socially but most importantly I struggled with academics. What I learned that very first week when I moved in junior year, was that public school and private school are immensely different. My class sizes, my teachers, the expectations, the rules, study habits, they were all so new. I jumped into a routine fairly smoothly, which helped my anxiety of getting adjusted to my life at school. However, after a month or so, I noticed the habits I brought from public school were not working in my new environment. Time management and procrastination

    Attending Early College High School has changed the way I feel about education because now I prioritize my academics. I don’t let any barriers in my life interfere with my academics. At ECHS, I have not faced many difficulties, but one difficult challenge was when I got a terrible grade in my AP Biology class. I was devastated to see that on my progress report card I had a D+. I had never had such a low grade in any class. Many thoughts were running in my head, including the thought that I was never going to make it into college because of that grade. I tried extremely hard to raise my grade, but I could not focus on school because my grandfather had just passed away and my family was facing a very difficult time. Memories came flashing in

    I just liked to stay in the middle. I really didn 't feel like it mattered to me or to anyone if I did more than what was required of me. I never saw the need to go above and beyond when it came to school. The times that I have I never felt like i got anything from it. This is how many students feel and they shouldn 't feel this way. Mike Rose said in one of his articles “ I just wanna be average” that “He provided a role model that wasn 't shaped on physical prowess alone, and something inside me that I wasn 't quite aware of responded to that”. Mike Rose was a student who always wanted to just be average in school and never felt good if he ever went above and beyond. So one school year he had a teacher named MacFarland who helped him a ton and motivated him. She challenged him a lot and gave him a lot of work, readings, essays, assignments and just in general a lot of work. It was a lot but it all helped him a ton and it made Mike Rose become a student who actually wanted to do homework. McFarland turned Mike into a student who actually wanted to be the best in class and Mike just felt so much more motivated. He ended up being very successful to this day. This is what students need and it 's what students don 't

    My first year of high school I did not take things seriously and I was not focused or organized. Soon after I applied to a program called AVID which was a college preparation program, I was accepted for my sophomore year. This helped me to have a serious attitude when it comes to working and to be well organized. Without this class I would not be as focused and eager to do what I want to in life today. If I had to describe myself in three words these three words would have to be disciplined, determined, and persistent. I am a student who is able to stay focused on a challenge or topic I am given, when I start on that challenge I complete it. I am highly motivated to become successful in life and reach the goals I have set for myself. Although they are big goals I am determined to work hard and learn whatever it takes in order to be successful, Maybe one day I will be the person I see myself as, sitting at a desk with other people coming up with a creation which would one day affect the lives of many

    I am applying to transfer to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, because of my strong interest in the School of Education. Currently I am enrolled in a Community College that I have found to be indeed different to the four-year college I attended during the Fall semester of 2015. Despite, the many differences, I have equally valued the education I have received. The University of Chapel Hill has always been a college that stood out to me, since my junior year in high school. Although, from fear of being rejected and lack of belief in myself, I did not apply my senior year in high school, but now that I am soon to completing my freshmen year as a college student, I have realized that my potentials and capabilities to achieve anything are highly great. I am very hopeful that my academic credentials will suffice to compete with other transfer students applying for admission.

  • Personal Narrative: My Proudest Moment

    As I entered high school the pressure to succeed and live up to my parent’s expectations increased. I joined clubs that my parents approved of, I took classes that would look good on my transcript, and I studied 24/7 to keep a good GPA. Seeing the people around me happy and proud of me was a good feeling. I stayed up all night just so I could study and get good grades that would make my family and teachers proud. Junior year I never got more than four hours of sleep a night. I was a zombie just going through the motions of life. As I began to look for colleges, the pressure to be #1 grew. My parents took me on countless college tours, thirty seven to be exact, in order to find the “right school for me.” My parents drove me around the country visiting tons of top engineering schools. Occasionally we would visit schools I wanted to visit. But every visit went the same. If my parents chose the school they smiled the whole tour and spent the car ride home talking about how great it was. If it was a school I chose
