Let’s start this essay honestly, shall we? When I’ve received the letter that said that I may have the probability to join such a prestigious group, filled with so many intelligent people; I was honestly baffled, by this, I imply that I wouldn’t consider myself to be the ‘perfect scholar’ for this selective club. But, who am I kidding? I’m not even a scholar! What I am is a 5’3 girl surrounded by her unorganized life, a mind filled with procrastination, and with a homemade meal of stress with a pinch of anxiety, in other words, an average American teenager. I’ve presumably just named a few qualities that other students may have used in their own essay’s, right? I, on the other hand, believe that these qualities are not truly needed; their like sprinkles on ice cream, unnecessary, but aesthetically …show more content…
Trust me when I say: talking about situations that most people today shy away from and use it to inspire or to change people for the better will cause a greater impact, than me writing an explanation on why my color-coded binder will change lives. I want to change our community in the way that kids our age can start confiding with teacher, and teacher actually start listening. I want new kids that come from other countries being comfortable speaking their own language without worrying about getting social slurs thrown at them or them having to hear to go back to their country. I want justice for the little ninth grader who was peacefully showing his LGBT+ flag to represent his community, not be rudely ripped and the guilty people getting no consequence. I want our teachers start talking about gun control, instead of them grabbing the Columbine shooting and manipulate it to seem as a treat people
I believe that it is the responsibility of every student who has received an education in a state school to give something back to the state. This state contains many institutions that offer curricula of quality primary education and is home to several above-average secondary or college institutions as well. Students who receive the state's gift of education should show their gratitude by using that knowledge to improve their community.
I have always had a passion to learn. My interest is in political theory and economics, hoping someday to become a lawyer and stateswoman. I realize that in order to reach any of these goals, a college degree is vital. When I in turn reach my goals, I will use them to encourage and uplift my community by investing my time, money, energy, and influence to become a stepping stone for others.
Such a simple question. Why am I here? Such a simple question, but I never asked it. Why am I here necessarily? What made me want to come here? What drove me to college? Was it for me? Was it for the people around me? All these questions seem to have flew over my head. Many people say that they are going to college to be a doctor, or a teacher, or an athletic trainer. But, why exactly are we heading to college? Are we heading to college because we truly want more education, or does society tell us that successful people attend and graduate from college? I took all these questions into consideration, just so I get the most accurate reason as to why I’m here in college.
Anyone who has every really hung out with me or has known me will tell you that I am actually a very humble person and I really mind my own business unless something involves me, then I go and take action into the situation. I don’t really like to shine I like to stay back and and follow up bigger and better than most. I like to advance psychological form so then I can better others with my superior mind set. I sometimes act and seem as if I do not know much or as if I am not as intelligent as I seem. I very much only do so to hide my true potential so then once I unleash it I leave them flabbergasted and put them at a very low disadvantage. Most people see me and just don’t even think twice about gazing their eye upon me and ponder about who
One day, a group of young people came to me and said they had something to say. I was very surprised. They said they were all grateful for the changes I brought into their lives. I was so happy to hear such a statement - it aroused a great joy in my heart. This experience has helped me to understand that when one focuses on what others think, it may be difficult to have a meaningful impact upon the lives of others.
Throughout life, there are different interests that you discover and become passionate about. Many commit themselves to some sort of club or activity, especially through middle school and high school. Some of these activities or clubs, you may be participate in for the rest of your life or it could be a temporary thing. It shapes you as a person you are though without even realizing it, because it plays a huge factor in the people you hang out with and the things you enjoy doing. Sometimes people join clubs or find something to do that will one way or another end up helping others; like an act of service, but other times people want to just be apart of something and have something to do in their spare time.
“There’s always been those times when I needed a breather. When I might need a quick break from being the leader, ‘Cause I’m just human, you gotta feel that.”
My parents spent a lot of time arguing over what to name me before I was born. Their decision time was cut short when I was born over two months early, leaving them completely unprepared. As a result, I was nameless for the first few days of my life. My parents finally settled on Erica because it was the only name they could agree on (even if my dad calls me my sister’s name more often than my own). Despite it seeming like a last minute choice, I feel that Erica is the perfect name for me.
I am a sophomore in highschool and I’m 15 years old. I play Volleyball and Basketball. I have accomplished a lot in my lifetime thus far. But I’m most proud of what I’ve done in volleyball, basketball and school. I’m gonna tell you my main focuses on these topics and a little bit about them.
People always have others who look to them for guidance and look to them to be a role model. This is what we call a leader. A leader must have people who follow them. Without people who follow leaders there would be no such thing as a leader. I have had the opportunity to be a leader in my life. This experience made me realize who I am and who I wanted to be. Having people look to me as a role model really made me look at who I am as a person and really try to become the best person that I can be. When you have small children looking towards you, you have to be the best person that you can be.
After high school, I hope to attend a good four year university and major in either biology or pre-medicine. After college, I want to attend medical school and get my M.D so I can be a doctor in an Oklahoma hospital. When I tell this to people, they seem to think that I have my whole life planned out, or that I am organized. They think I am responsible, easy going, and funny. My friends see me as a people oriented person. I guess this makes sense because I like to be happy and make others happy. I am also pretty involved not only within my school, but within my community, so I know and connect with a lot of people. Many people even view me as popular or “cool”, even though I sometimes struggle to see myself as these things. Some people even perceive me as intimidating because of my height and appearance. Yes, I am taller than many of my friends, but even with my height, I am still a friendly individual.
Environment: I grew up in a very welcoming orthodox community mainly consisting of orthodox and non-orthodox Jewish men, women, and children. I myself am a white, orthodox, Jewish woman. My neighborhood from before the time I was born until my early young-adult-hood was made up of orthodox Jews until two secular families moved in. Although technically my house is in the Baltimore City boarder my community and school is not split into county and city. Meaning that it does not necessarily matter where you live, you can attend any private school you wished. I go to an all-girl private school that was set up by my community to specifically teach Jewish girls like myself.
As a child I grew up in a culturally diverse household, with a mother of a mixed-Asian ethnicity and a father from the UK, I would say that I was taught to value and adapt to different cultures.
Who am I? This simple question has provoked even the greatest of thinkers, such as myself. I can reply with a vague response or a profound one. Our memories tend to shape and help distinguish who we are as an individual but, to what extent. I can easily say that I am someone who is a benefactor in my community, however; other individuals may debunk me. As a way to bolster my position I would recount my memories. But, to what extent are our memories reliable? We tend to mold our memories in a way to make it seem ‘best fit’. If I were to interrogate an individual, without their electronics at their disposal, on what they did last month on a Wednesday, they probably would not even have the slightest clue unless it was a significant day. Our memories
Bold, Beautiful, and smart is who I am. I am sentimental, curious, understanding, witty, and sometimes difficult. I am the oddball from everyone else, and I like it. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I am Itesha Moshea’ Lucy. Every year I learn more about myself and continue to learn and grow and adhere to the challenges I face, things that make me happy, and living life to my best ability.
