I would describe myself as conscientious, hard-working, & athletic. Both on and off the court, I make sure that I am putting forth my best effort so that I can succeed in the present and in the future. For conscientious, I can relate to my previous experiences in high school. All of my teachers on my report card commented that I was a conscientious student. In all of my classes, I would take very thorough/detailed notes in all of my classes. On every test and assignment given to me, I ensured that I put forth my best effort and if I didn’t know the answer to a test question, I took my best guess. If I was falling behind in a class, I would see my teacher for extra help and also set aside time to review my notes and do practice questions/tests to ensure my understanding of the material. …show more content…
For the trait of hard-working, I can relate this in particular to basketball. In every practice/basketball training session, I treat it as if it was my last time playing basketball. I work myself out so hard that I cannot feel my legs the next day. Especially during my offseason, I trained intensely for 3-5 hours a day, perfecting my craft and passion. In the end, it will pay off to ensure that I create success for my teammates as well as for myself. I then translated my great work ethic in basketball to school and in every day of life. I try never taking life for granted it and never dawg anything I do. I alway put forth my maximal effort whether it’s in basketball, academics, or being a better person. As far as being athletic, psychically I am fit. I have muscle mass and wear athletic clothing a majority of the time. This identifies me as being an athlete through my physical traits I show to society. A trait that does not portray my personality is arrogant. I do not feel as if I am the best person in the world. This is justified whenever I am socializing with my
I have been a four year letter-winner in volleyball and basketball. Athletics have been a crucial part of developing my character and work ethic. In sports, you must work together with your team to reach your goals. Trust and communication skills are vital and are tested every day.

As a senior captain of the volleyball and basketball teams, my leadership has improved tremendously as high school has progressed. Being a leader holds me accountable and I aim to be a role model for younger teammates on the court, in the classroom, and in the community.
In the novel, What the Best College Students Do written by Ken Bain, we learn about how college student goes through rough times in their college life. The author brings up a common issue that occurs in the academic life of college students. It is the need of having self confidence and self esteem. Bain believes that if a student loves and admires themselves it will give the student a better advantage of having a well-being lifestyle than all their other peers that are having difficulties. Many college students focus mainly on their grades other than the knowledges that they are learning in class. The idea of having perfect grades in all the subjects are limiting the students from approaching activities that they might be interested.
Many people believe that early literacy is strongly linked to long-term growth and is a predictor of future achievements. That’s why every educated parent exposes their children as early as they can to literacy and helps them stay ahead of other children. In The Glass Castle, a memoir about the financial and familial struggles of the Walls family, Jeannette Walls reflects upon her childhood with eccentric parents and how she grew up with her alcoholic father, Rex Wall, a careless and stubborn mother, Rose Mary, and her two sisters, Lori and Maureen, and one brother, Brian. However, if we take a closer look, despite the fact that Jeannette and her siblings were raised in harsh and rough environments, they were also living in a thriving intellectual
Throughout my life, my work ethic, my mental strength, and the skills I have learned, are largely because of my athletic background and all of the things I have gone through with them. To be good at sports, one does not have to
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
My name is Joshua I am a 20-year-old college sophomore at Georgia Perimeter College. I eat very well, which I have found is in complete contrast with my college peers. According to the National Health Awareness, has an overall average 30% for US colleges and Universities college students tend to skip one meal a day. Most college students don't even know what a healthy diet is, and a large percentage of students who are aware of proper nutrition choose to ignore it. One must have a good diet, learn to plan a good diet by sticking to a consistent routine, and stay away from fast food diet.
Throughout my life, I have strived to be a hard-working individual when it comes to school, my job, and family work. I always try to work quickly and efficiently, and make my work the best that it can be. Perfectionism is a major part of my life and that is one of the driving forces behind my hard work. Sometimes the drive to be perfect can limit my results, but I try my hardest to keep it from restricting me. I always give one hundred percent when it comes to completing various tasks, and find pride in being a hard-worker.

I can say that I am self motivated and feel confident about that. I think sports have helped me a lot with being more disciplined and having self motivation. I know that may seem cliche, but it really is true. In sports I have to
I am hardworking because I had two summer jobs. I worked at the Medomak camp retreat center. After weeks of hard working 7hour days and 1 day off a week. I got laid off, because it was the end of the season and there was only 2 weeks left until closing. So I went down the road the the Medomak camp family camp to the director who got me hired at my first job, and for the rest of the summer watched his 3 year old twins Lyla and Areya.
I have played sports ever since I was two or three. People often say I am a fun person to be around. I put myself around people that are a good influence on me. Not only do I focus on what is right for me, but how other people feel also. I am a very caring person I love to see people be happy and have a smile on their face.
Once another week passed, my math teacher announced that there was a test next week. I felt annoyed about another test, but I knew I had to do well on the test to get an A in the class. After learning the advice my mom gave me, I decided to try it. When I got home, I did my homework and studied for my classes. Also, when I felt confused on my work, I asked my teachers for help.
Over my last 17 years I have been relying on one talent to take me places and get what I want and that would be being athletic. Whether it was getting me all them first place medals in wrestling, helping our team win state in baseball, or playing almost every position on the football team, I always count on my athleticism. My athleticism allows me to do certain things that is hard for a regular person
I have done my best to make it to every class possible, I know I have missed some, but not by choice. When I do miss class I always ask others about what I missed and I try to catch up. I read and review the material whenever I can find the time, during breaks, when I get home and in the morning before class. A few days I have lots of time and most others, not so much. I have reminders set on my phone to remind me of due dates and quizzes and some peers that also send me reminders.
The lessons were challenging and I struggled to keep up with the pace of my classmates. For this reason, I often reviewed the material and prepared for tests and examinations well in advance. However, my results did not reflect my commitment. I often left school in tears and questioned if there was a purpose to my efforts. I eventually had the courage to ask for help, which was given generously
