As the end of my high school journey comes to a close and I enter into the wondrous world of college there are many different changes starting to happen. New, exciting, and more challenging obstacles I have to face. In this new journey, I am embarking on, there are new set of challenges ready for me to overcome. Challenges can be failures or successes, but every person has failed at something in their life. Sometimes I wonder how some of the most successful people overcame their failure. Finally, I have come to realize the failures in life were not there to make a person weak but, to make them stronger, and hopefully wise by overcoming the obstacles. Success to me is the resilience of my college rejections, maintaining a good GPA, and striving towards opening my own pediatric dental practice. Starting my college search in the fall of my senior year, I was very nervous and excited about starting a new journey in life. I was always told that it was …show more content…
There are many goals I want to accomplish in life. Having a college education is required for me pursue them. Studying in this new journey is essential for success. Somethings that I did in high school I cannot do in college. I realize that studying is important especially if I am setting high goals for myself in the future. In high school, I never asked my teachers for clarity on questions that were being asked. To stay after school so that I can get the help that I needed on assignments. Somethings if I could not ask my teacher than I could ask one of my friends for help. To have friends who also want to get good grades in school that we could help one another. To write everything down because I have a hard time keeping up with assignments. Coming to realize that all of the hard work and long hours of studying will pay off when I can achieve my goals of starting my own pediatric dental
My biggest accomplishment throughout high school so far has been learning how to fail. Not necessarily falling flat on my face in a viral video, but instead just barely coming up short and not being able to reach a goal, despite my best efforts. Although I was unaware of it at the time, failing my driver’s test on my first attempt would become a life altering incident.
One of the proudest accomplishments of my life was earning my high school diploma, despite all the hard work that led me where I am today was well worth it. Many people would expect me to say I am coming to college to better myself as a person or to continue my education. The truth is I want to change a life in my community, make my parents proud of their daughter and start a tradition in my family.
Being the first one to attend college in my family has pushed me to continue my education. Now in today’s society a college degree is so important. I want my parents to be proud of me, and be happy with my high level career after college, and that starts with my education. I also hope to be an influence on my younger brother and show him that a college education is important. He looks up to me, and I need to be a good role model for him. I truly just want to get the best education and job for myself worth and make myself happy.
For anyone, there are time when things are going to change whether the change is planned or not. For military families change and loss often are not planned, and they have no choice in the matter. For any one person or family to move through change or loss it is important to go through the steps of transition, also know by Hall (2008) as the transition journey. The three phases of the transition journey that have their own focus and tasks are endings, neutral zone, and new beginnings (Hall, 2008). Not everyone follows the transition journey exactly, but this is a good example and tool to help individuals and families through the process. The three phases of the transition journey are going to be explained in further detail in this paper.
Regretfully, when I entered high school I did not realize how hard I had to work to get what I wanted. I went to my classes, did my work, but never really pushed myself to my full abilities. I thought that as long as I graduated with decent grades I would be able to get into college and really focus then. But as high school quickly came to an end I realized that I was not as well prepared for college, as I would have liked.
...fe and succeeding that I broke the chain in deciding to be different in standing out from my family. Even though, on my graduation day I should have been more exciting now I can see why it was the most important day of my life because on that day I should have said YES!! Made it this far. Graduating high school was my minor goal and was accomplished. The fact that my minor goal was accomplished made me realize that anything is possible. That day when I realized what graduation should have meant to me made me a better and setting high standards for myself.
These is the journey through middle school. Through the bad days and the good days. Some of these days are some of the greatest experiences in my life and others not so much. The journey through middle school is kind of hard with grades but some people can guide you through with ease. These are my days of middle school. I will be talking about my high points in school and the low points. I will also talk about conflict if I had any and if I did how did I deal with them. Did I have an surprises, what we're also my obstacles and my achievements. Finally what friends did I have and what were Lotus Eaters, Polyphemus, or Athena?
As the play progresses, increasing madness evokes dramatic changes within political and humane order. Lady Macbeth’s plunge to madness begins when she reads Macbeth’s letter promising an upgraded social stature despite the Divine Right of Kings that holds in place. Because she pleads to the spirits for more masculine attributes as well as to “[p]our [her] spirits in [Macbeth’s] ear” to accelerate his prophecy she proves that her desire to become Queen as well as the actions required to do so are unnatural (1.5.25). Her abnormal demands reveal her uncontrollable ambition to disrupt The Chain of Being by murdering the divine king. As Lady Macbeth commands the spirits to “[u]nsex [her] here / And fill [her] from the crown to the toe top-full/ Of direst cruelty,” she not only asks for her female stereotype to be to aid the murder, but wishes to become a queen by committing a sinful and consequential act (1.5.40).
Growing up I was always told that I had to attend college and be something great. So I guess in a sense I have to prove to myself and others that I can achieve this. When I graduate it will give me a piece of mind knowing that I did what I was destined to do. Graduating and receiving my degree will be one of my greatest accomplishments.
Accomplishment. This word sums up the main reason I want to further my education. One of the best feelings for me is looking back on all the work that was necessary to achieve one status or position and feeling proud. Going to college is looked upon by society as necessary to increase your earning potential. While true, going to college means more than that to me. I am grateful to have the work ethic necessary to feel this sense of accomplishment early on in my life so I can ensure future success in college. One of the most sizable examples so far in my life of a feeling of accomplishment was achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts. This involved nine years worth of volunteer work, training, and leadership to earn a single status that
With ups and downs in my career and my personal life, I have become stronger, more modest and grateful for all the chances that life offered. I have always been one of the top 10 students in class. But, I wasn’t able to perform my best in my third and final years of dentistry due to some distractions at home. But my mother always encouraged me with the thought that a failure is life’s way to make you better at something, for which you must keep trying. Holding on to that thought, I worked even harder and not only proved my merit in my second attempt, but got a better conceptual understanding about the subjects than most students around
When I was 8 year old I scored 100 out of 100 marks in Mathematics and when my class teacher announced the results whole class stood and clapped, I can never forget that overwhelming moment in my life, I was so happy and contended, and that day I understood the importance of education in life. My parents couldn’t study after high school due to financial restrictions but they always taught me importance of higher education to imagine and pursue goals. My family has been extremely supportive throughout the journey and has constantly motivated me to realize my potential to the fullest extent by providing conducive environment for studying and encouraging me in my endeavors. Throughout my high school, I enjoyed two things: Mathematics and Extra-curricular activities, these activities helped me to gain team skills, stress management skills and social relationship skills.

But is that so? Without denying the value of perseverance, and recognizing that these slogans “learn from your mistakes”, “keep trying” and “never give up” can be useful in overcoming certain obstacles. Failure is an essential component for a college student’s success. College students fail and they fail very often but in the end, it’s what drives them to become successful in college.
My first day at college ended up with great satisfaction, I though that going to college would be a great impact in my life . And being part of a class where I would learn so many things, gave me the strength to keep going. It would give the chance to relate with new people and of course, to meet new friends who could last for a life time. And of course, to become more independent. Although, I have to study hard, I feel good because I am doing the best to achieve my goals about finish college. Therefore, to obtain a professional career, with a good projection. Furthermore I also want my family to be proud of me, even though they are not with me. I want to become a successful woman in life , no matter If I have to try a million times I would never stop.
Time flies so fast. Looking back, my high school is just like a movie, a lot of things happened. High School is four years of growing up and probably a time in your life where you go through the most changes. In high school you are able to discover yourself and find out who you are as a person. Each year is special and unique in their own way. My journey through high school was a tough one, especially because I decided to not only focus on academic work but also to invest quality time in extra curriculum activities. I wanted more than just academic excellence; I wanted to be a leader, I wanted to add value to every aspect of my life, I wanted a rounded education and not just mere schooling. My success story is what I will like to share with you; how I really made it and how this defines my personality. My journey in High School was scary, exciting, and successful.
