As a 7th grader at LMS I learned that there is good jealousy and bad jealousy. During my 7th grade year I learned that the IMSA Fusion program was only available to 8th graders. As a result I became jealous. However, this type of jealousy was the kind that made me determined to put forth 100 percent effort into this year and be determined to qualify for the IMSA Fusion program next year as an eighth grader. This is not saying that I didn’t put in 100 percent effort in my 6th grader. As a student who regularly performs above and beyond there has never been a class I didn’t enjoy. The teachers have always encouraged me to go above and beyond my studies and I always make them proud. However, there has always been two classes that I have enjoyed …show more content…
As a student on a regular day I am challenged but not challenged as I would like to. I went to the extent of challenging myself with engaging activities at home. While other people say its weird and discourage me, I am consistently encouraged by my teachers and parents to never give up. As a result, I have proven to people that my work does pay off and it has taught people to respect me. I wish to join the IMSA program in order to share my knowledge with other students who are eager to learn as I am. I am also eager to engage in this program to learn from others and to challenge and be challenged. I wish to join IMSA to strengthen my social skills by learning how to cooperate with people in a group and get through challenges sometimes with people I might not usually work with. I am also hoping that the IMSA program will set a solid foundation for my future education and will help me with setting a good reputation for schools and for my future career. I used to think that math was more important that science. However, over time with information from teachers and parents I have realized that math can’t function without science and science can’t function without math. I also know that if I am accepted I will be able to keep my options open. As a student I want options and I know that I can have more options with this program. This program is the perfect opportunity to express my knowledge in math and …show more content…
If there is one part of science I would say is my favorite I wouldn’t list one. I would list physics, chemistry, anatomy, and genetics. In math I would say all of it because math has been and will probably always be my favorite subject. I just enjoy learning about the wonders of nature and humans while able to back up theories, formulas, and experiments with mathematics. I love experimenting and you can ask anyone and they will tell you I will never give up until I solve a problem. If I just can’t find the solution I am not afraid to ask for help which is why I believe IMSA is the perfect program for me. I can express my mathematical and scientific knowledge with teachers, friends, and other classmates by challenging myself and challenging others. I can also teach others and others can teach me about what they know. I know there aren’t much topics that I enjoy in science but with the help of this program my love for the subjects I already enjoy can expand with new innovations and experiences. I can also learn to love other subjects as well. Not only can I do this but I can also integrate my love of math and science with engaging challenges to fully bring out my true
Since my school does not directly prioritize STEM-associated extracurricular activities, I believe that IMSA will help me achieve the goals that I seek in these fields. At IMSA, with peers that excel in these fields, we will challenge each other to become better than we are already and create new connections and friendships in IMSA’s welcoming
As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own
I would continually ponder over questions on the mechanics of nature and human beings. Science has always been a main focus of mine. I distinctly remember when my parents bought our first computer when I was six years old. On the computer I would always be watching videos or reading on science topics. I would always be conducting my own science experiments. The reaction from mixing baking soda with vinegar to form a volcano would always amaze me as a child. Growing up I would continually and consistently add to my knowledge of science through the tough courses I would take in school. I am able to look back into the memories of my younger self and understand why baking soda and vinegar, when mixed, form an eruption. I show a heavy interest in science because of how it applies to the real world and how nearly every question about the universe we live in could be answered b science
Growing up, my parents never expected perfection but expected that I try to accomplish my best. The effort I’ve put forth in learning has been reflected in my grades throughout my high school career. I’ve entered myself in vigorous course work such as AP Government and AP English to become well prepared for my college career, all while maintaining a 4.4 grade point average this year. Not only do I engage in AP classes, but up until this year I had no study halls. I wanted my day to be packed full of interesting classes that I would enjoy learning about. My grades and choice of classes prove the effort that I put forth in my learning. Working hard now can only pay off in the future. Learning now creates a well-rounded human being. Working to learn is why I am so dedicated to my studies now.
During my early education, meaning elementary school and middle school, I was a very average student. I gave an average amount of effort to my grades, and I received above average results. This did not bother me, until the end of my 8th-grade year. At this point in the year, I was filling out what classes I desired to take the following year, my freshman year. I realized that from this point forward, I had to take my education much more serious, in order to get accepted to whichever college I desired. therefore, when planning my classes, I decided to challenge myself more than I ever have in the past, and take multiple honors courses. I assumed because of my grades, that I had what it took to be an honors-level student, but I was very wrong. One teacher, Mrs. Johnson, made me realize the kind of effort, time and energy needed to be devoted to my education.
As I entered high school, I focused my desire for individual success on my personal and academic life. I felt an urgency not only to do my best but also to be the best in every class. Motivated by competition, I turned inward, avoiding group study sessions. In addition to losing sight of the team -- of my friends and how we could learn together -- I also lost sight of my own needs, failing to seek basic accommodations for my hearing impairment. Trapped within the walls of this MJ-like worldview, I defined success solely in terms of individual greatness -- in terms of how much better I did than my peers.
You improved and showed so much growth since elementary school. I know that in 6th grade you were barely passing with Cs, Ds, and a few Bs. Now though you are passing with As and Bs. Even though you never made principle’s list you always made honor rolls.
I live so far in the countryside that my neighbor is the only thing between my house and the Hoosier National Forest, and that neighbor had a cow farm until a few years ago. Living so far from town with two working parents and no spare car, it’s been difficult participating in activities in school or town. However, when I overcame this by joining Science Olympiad and immersing myself in academic clubs, I started down a path that led me through years of intellectual and personal development which have helped me decide to go into engineering in college. Finding a way to join Science Olympiad led to personal growth as I explored my abilities and limitations not only academically but also personally. I was able to join without overly straining my parent's schedules by staying after school for as long as they stayed at work, but to do this I had to learn to balance my responsibilities.
From then on, I’ve decided to discipline myself and give my greatest effort to my education. At the same time, I sacrifice sleep and fun time only to satisfy myself with a deep study or completed assignments. Although I have good academic level and willing to accept challenges, I am not a perfect student because I’ve failed from the desire to achieve more. I took two AP courses and Calculus during my sophomore and junior years, eventually especting a learning growth. Nevertheless, my expectations were never met and rather lowered my stamina and courage in STEM.
I know that I will need to be able to apply the difficult concepts and theories studied in my math and physics courses to real life situations. My interest in math and physics truly blossomed when I attended the Big M math camp at Ball State. From then on I became fascinated with learning about even the most complex areas of math and the laws of physics that can apply to the creation of new technology. I love math and physics because they are the ultimate
My passion for the fascinating wolrd of science literally can not be put into words. Since receiving my first home science kit at five years of age the way things work and why has always been at the forefront of my mind. During my early years I would find great delight in examining anything I could fit under the lens of my telescope. I will never forget my first look at the intricate detail of a human hair.
Summer break was over, and it was the time to go back to school to my eleventh grade. School for me wasn’t that different as my summer break. I never felt like not going to school after a long summer break because I used to have a lot of fun in school. School for me was a place where you would socialize, gossip, brag, drive attention, miss conduct, daydream, text students, sing, ask silly questions and flirt with girls. I think now you know how my days at school used to be. However, a day has come that I would not expect it to come at all. I suddenly became a much disciplined student that I would not do anything out of the way. It all happened when I meet my new physics professor Jamal Betar who has wonderful qualities that amaze him from other teachers, and he also gave me the true meaning of education that I have never thought of before in my life.
I know how to study well and I use this to my advantage in school; along with, being a quick learner and decently intelligent person. Of course, there might be better fits for this program than me. Tending to come off as a shy and quiet person I tend to not fit in as readily as other students, consequently, I sometimes find it hard to fully participate or share my views. Despite this, I believe that I have much to offer, in the way of an open mind, enthusiasm, dedication, and a sparkling personality. I like to consider myself a thoughtful, patient person who is comfortable asking questions and making mistakes; even zealously sharing my thoughts and opinions on matters in a comfortable environment, of which I have found CTA to be in my
Science can involve natural sciences such as biology and chemistry. It can also involve astrology when it comes to learning more about natural magic. Religion is important to me, because different people have different religious views. When it comes to religion, there is Baptist, apostolic, and others forms of religion. People choose to be religious by choice.
My favorite area of science is definitely Zoology because it has to do with animals and they are my passion.
