College and Career Research Paper I’m in the top 25% of my class with a grade point average of 83. To put it into perspective my rank is 257 out of approximately 1070 students at Skyline High School. I’m currently in the JROTC program and I have also been in the school senate for about a year. I know of two people who would be willing to write a positive letter of recommendation for me; my cluster teacher Ms. Juliann Tigert, and my freshman JROTC instructor, Sergeant Lisa Vereen. Both teachers know me to some extent at a personal level and know how I am in school and away from school. Both of the teachers know that I volunteer a lot of my time for various activities, and that I am a quick learner with the capability to excel in whatever I set out to do.
I have participated in various community service projects; for example one in which as a class

Skyline HS is simply too crowded so I look to see a small campus and a low faculty/student ratio. To be specific I look for an experience in a college with no more than 15,000 students. Diversity is also a must. It’s important to me for a school to have a diverse student body.
In the My Next Move assessment my highest scoring areas were enterprising and social. The enterprising career are has to do with starting and carrying out business projects. It matches me because I like making a move instead of waiting and talking. The social career area has to do with working with others. I enjoy hearing others and giving advice in order to help so this is why I scored high on the social career area.
One career in specific: property manager, called my attention. The basic skills required closely match what I want to do. The required education is a bachelor’s degree or a GED depending on what scale the work is. The average starting salary is $28,490, median salary is $55,380, and the maximum salary is $123,790. The job growth is expected to continue to grow as average
I maintained an A average up until my eleventh grade year, by doing so, I was recognized as a member of the National Honors Society. This current year, I was recognized by Augusta University in receiving an award for academic achievement. The year of 2013 I was awarded the Most Valuable Cheerleader on the Washington Wilkes Football-Competitive cheerleading squad. As for leadership positions, I was elected 4-H president in the fifth grade and student council president my eleventh grade year.
The first requirement for consideration is an overall outstanding grade point average and the ability to maintain or improve upon that grade throughout my high school career. I believe I have done more than express my deep desire to achieve beyond that of my peers in and out of the classroom, and continue to do so to this day. When first appearing in the Wapato School system in the 7th grade, I had immense trouble maintaining any good grades. Now, I don’t blame this on anybody but myself, as I was never told throughout my childhood leading up to then that I should pay attention to my schoolwork. I know this may seem hard to believe, but I was simply considered more
However, most of my volunteer work comes from outside of the school, such as; Pelotonia, Light the Night for leukemia and lymphoma, Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities, etc. For many of these organizations I have volunteered more than once. Volunteering at Light the Night has a story. For my 16th Birthday party, I wanted to have my friends and I volunteer for the day while having fun at night. So I had 7 boys and girls, along with me, volunteer for Light the Night, organized by me.
4. Community service: Explain what you have done to make your community a better place to live. Give examples of specific projects in which you have been involved over time.Required
We're looking for the best of the best, students who enjoy working with and being around all sorts of different people (High School students, parents, and maybe even Guidance Counselors). Explain your experience with and desire to work with a diverse
Throughout my two years in high school, I have been trying to maintain a certain grade point average. I’ve passed two of my state tests already and I have yet to take my English II and U.S. History state test. I passed my Algebra I test in 8th grade with Proficient and my Biology I test my freshman year with Proficient. My grades fell off the first 9 weeks of this school year because I had a hard time understanding English II and I ended up scoring Basic on my 1st 9 weeks benchmark test. Now I have made a promise to myself that I will be advanced in everything from now on. I’ve been studying more and working in my SATP practice booklets and now my grades are improving. When I was in 2nd grade I was accepted into the Gifted/Excel class at Bentonia Gibbs up until my 7th grade year at Yazoo County Junior High. Ever since junior high, I have been in the advanced classes, and I hope that will help me with my plan to graduate as one of the top of my class.
My GPA is low; about a 2.7. I have been to many different high schools. I have not been academically successful. However, I do fairly well on standardized tests ACT 30 and SAT M660 V640.

As an educated professional in my community, I would like to make a contribution to society and my community. My background in hours of community service has prepared me for this and shown me its value.
Besides participating in extracurricular activities to belong to a specific group, students can also volunteer for community service. Community service teaches students responsibility, helps to build strong friendship bonds, and helps to make important business contacts. Students are taught responsibility when performing community service because they are no longer thinking about themselves. The students’ priorities are however, now to help those whom they are doing this se...
In order to see how far I am ‘fit’ with my intended career choice, I would like to assess on my personality types and intelligence first. According to the MBTI profile (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp) and Holland Code test (http://personality-testing.info/tests/RIASEC.php) that I have done in the lesson, engineering and architectural drafters are my first career choices for the tests respectively.
