Recommended: Challenges at college essay

I had waited too long to work on the achievements to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. I was down to my final two months and I had one month worth of rank requirements, one month of essays to write for colleges, and loads of homework on top of that. I knew several scouts that ran out of time and couldn’t reach the rank of Eagle. They fell short when no one expected them to. This couldn’t be me. I had worked too hard to never reach the rank of Eagle. While under an immense amount of pressure, I was able to organize what needed to be done first and still complete everything on time. I was able to manage all the work that I had in front of me. Then I worked efficiently and completed everything that I had to do before all of the due dates. Because

  • Contributions To The National Honor Society

    I am writing to inform you of my possible contributions to the National Honor Society and my interest in becoming a member. I view myself as a strong minded individual with a strong incentive to learn. Acquiring the ability to learn fast and adapt quickly has enabled me to be a part of a wide range of organizations. My participation and loyalty to the NHS could result in a great strive forward. I could provide more ideas of services to benefit the school and our community. I would also devote a large portion of my free time to the organization and assist in any way possible. Whether that means coming in early in the morning or staying late after school, I would do any means necessary to show my commitment.

    The National Honor Society upholds four pillars of excellence that all members attain; scholarship, service, leadership, and character. While these four ideals are present in all members I believe that I withhold these characteristics, as well as numerous others, which qualifies me as an ideal scholar and member of the National Honor Society. These assets are not adequately portrayed in my application, but are equally important to scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

    As an Eagle Scout candidate, my ambition is to serve others while pursuing a life of prosperity, happiness, and leadership, whether it is through education, religious duties, scouting, or careers. My life purpose is to be seen as a model or leader to others while remaining satisfied with my current situations in life. I resolve to stay resilient through any obstacles thrown in my path to achieve my ambitions and life purpose. I will strive to be respected by those that know me in all of the things I participated through leading from behind (following the principles of servile leadership) and applying all that I have learned over the years in Scouts and my life in general.

  • Boy's State

    “I brought you guys here for better”. These are the words my mother told me many times as a boy and again not long ago. My mother has always pushed me in my education, and I finally realized that my junior year of high school. My grades in everything were outstanding this year, but I was still missing out on something. I was still not very involved in school. One day an individual from the American Legion came to our school to talk to all the juniors. He told us about an event that happens every year and in every state. It was a prestigious event to be accepted to. Having no real involvement in anything, I did not think for a second that I would be accepted, but, regardless, I applied, and two months later I received a call from that same man who told me I had been accepted. I was a big reluctant and indecisive about going because, aside from the fun and games, there was government learning and marching involved. I decided to go, and will never regret that decision. The experience there changed my views in so many ways. I met so many new people, greatly strengthened my skills in leadership, and I realized I had the potential to not only dream about my goals, but to live them as well.

    Coming from a military family, enduring through tough situations was not a foreign concept to me. Living on military bases my whole life around such like-minded people had left me in a mindset that most people also felt the same way. As high school progressed, the number of people I interacted with who had experienced multiple challenges that broke them apart at a young age was astonishing to me. I learned that many of these people did not have the skills needed to cope with adversity, and that setting an example sometimes was the best way to help them move forward with a different perspective on their

    My most significant accomplishment would be placing second in the United States of America National FFA Agriscience Fair. Building up to this accomplishment was a challenge I never imagined to take on. It began with my FFA Chapter Agriscience Fair. I had decided against competing, but my adviser suggested I try. Pulling together a project, I placed second. This meant I would not compete at the state level. My adviser urged me to perform another project, under a new category, promising to take me to state. I worked hard and created a project in a week. Surprised, but true to his word, my adviser entered me into the State FFA Agriscience Fair. Upon my interview, I was nervous. I was shy and out of my comfort zone, but I gave my best effort. I

    I woke up every morning at the break of dawn with the sound of the bugle horn playing “reveille”. My cabin got ready for the day by getting dressed in our uniforms, making our beds, and preparing for inspection. After this, we marched to morning training. For an hour, we endured intense physical training. “Climb the wall!” “Move faster.” “I need more hustle!” The drill sergeants screamed at us. There was so much pressure to keep up with the rest of the group. This consumed all of my energy. Next, my cabin marched to the Mess Hall for breakfast. I would be so exhausted from the training that I sat in silence, trying to organize and process what I could have done to better myself. These things usually do not bother me, but I cannot overcome the feeling that I am not going to make it. That this is too intense for me, that I do not belong. But I usually didn’t fit in so I try to shake off this feeling. The rest of the day flew by because I lost the motivation to pay attention.

    It’s one of the most coveted achievement, a Scout can seek and the most difficult one to attain. Therefore, I knew there would be struggles along the way toward the goal I set forth. Consequently during my earlier days in Scouting, I struggled with asthma and I didn’t like to camp during very cold or very hot weather. It seemed like January and July were the two months the troop went camping. During a lot of those camp outs, I wanted to quit, go home and leave the Scout program. But I had my biggest cheerleader my dad, an Assistant Scoutmaster, who helped me refocused and my mind back on the prize. I learned to persevere by overcoming

  • What Is My Greatest Accomplishments

    I was given this life because I'm strong enough to work for it. I'm not a Spartan by blood, nor a missionary on a quest, but I am persistent like one. I aspire to establish my objectives into reality because I'm the man in the mirror who’s going to make a change. I use to think great things came from the success I achieved, and failure, on the other hand, was unnecessary in my perspective. As of result, I was blinded like if I placed a wet towel to my face without noticing because I was given academic excellence awards, honor roll awards, haap awards, sports awards and community work awards; even though I was proud of these accomplishments. I started to alter the true purpose of these awards by thinking I was doing enough, but what I should
