Being able to go to Mazzuchelli Catholic middle school has been an opportunity that I am truly thankful for. Whether it’s struggling or finding success in areas such as academics, extracurricular activities, or my faith life. Before starting middle school I remember being so scared that I cried that first day, but as soon as I walked through the doors I went to my locker and instantly felt better when I saw one of my friends from elementary school. I definitely had some struggles during middle school, things like being to scared to try something new or not even knowing what I wanted to do. Service has been a struggle for me throughout my middle school years, I had trouble finding service opportunities to get all of my hours done. I was able to be in Pre-Algebra in sixth grade, Algebra in seventh grade, and Geometry in eighth grade. Although I am glad that I got to take these math classes so I could be challenged, they can be difficult at times. There are times when I have no clue of what to do on homework. Middle school involved much more homework which was time consuming and along with extracurricular activities that I did such as swimming, left me little free time. …show more content…
I was able to make great friends despite being shy. It wasn’t until eighth grade that I started to try new things, things such as choir or joining the musical. I also tried track in seventh grade which was something that I had never done before. I now thoroughly the enjoy all of these activities. There are times when I feel successful in math, when I can figure out how to do something hard and feel proud of myself. I am able to do something called battle of the books, which is when you read a collection of books with a team and have a competition relating to details in some of the books. Battle of the books introduced me to new genres of books to enjoy rather than just staying with what I’m used to reading. It also deepened my love for
Wanting to attend Archbishop Mitty High School had never been a question of mine. I aim to go far in life and I am confident that AMHS is the school that will lead me down that path. By shadowing and attending the open house, I noticed that AMHS is like a second home to its members. The positive vibe radiating through its students offers me something to look forward to and another reason to wake up in the morning and go to school. Although I wasn’t a student, I was treated as if I belonged. I enjoyed how I didn’t have to be noteworthy to be accepted. Unlike typical high school movies, I could be myself without worrying about judgmental stares. I am certain many unforgettable memories will be made.
The AMGEN Summer Scholars research experience will contribute to my plans to become a M.D./Ph.D. candidate, and ultimately an Oncologist, by helping me develop critical and independent thinking as well as creative skills as they relate to the field of medicine. It will also help me develop a more thorough understanding of biological concepts, how they directly apply to medical treatment, and the ways in which biotechnology fuses multiple fields of science to create technologies to care for others. The opportunity to assist in creation of the technologies that will be used on my future patients will ultimately improve my ability to treat their illnesses in adaptive ways. The opportunity I would have to read, interpret, and be a part of creating
Throughout high school I have dreamed of having the opportunity to attend Indiana University. I have a true passion for babies. I love to learn how babies are developed and how they become such an amazing part of the world. Therefore, I would like to apply to Indiana University and pursue a degree in Pediatric Nursing. I would love to be able to deliver babies and deliver new life into this earth. There are several opportunities available for me to get involved with new leadership opportunities. I want to be able to be a leader for all age groups.
I could have taken this change in my life as something terrible, tragic, and sad. Instead, I chose to make the most of it and accept it as a new challenge. I began to communicate with as many people as I could and I trained myself to become a more social person. I joined about every sport possible in middle school and made it a goal to become friends with everyone. By moving to Iowa, I evolved from a shy kid into a much more outgoing and adventurous adolescent.
I, Hope Turnbull, am a Senior of Stockton High School in Stockton Kansas. My plans consist of attending North Central Kansas Technical College starting Fall 2016, where I want to begin my study of nursing. Due to me having all of my general education courses finished upon my college arrival, I have been accepted into the first year Nursing Program (LPN). I believe that I deserve this scholarship due to me excelling in my education at a very young age. My grades are earned as A’s and B’s in school.
Middle school was a amazing experience, for me anyway. I, myself have changed tremendously from the beginning of 6th grade to the end of 8th grade. Not just in appearance either, on the inside as well.
you get to middle school you learn more in depth about everything you learned in
I make this statement based off of a rather small sample size: myself (my 8th grade science teacher would scold me for this). Nonetheless, middle school was truly difficult. I don't say this because of rigorous courses, or frustratingly strict bathroom rules, but rather because I spoke close to no English for a large part of it.
College Education is of the utmost importance to me especially when competing with people in my age group. A college education is also one of the most costly obligations that one must do to gain success. In my academic career, I have gain many experiences that I may not have been able to experience had I not attended a post-secondary education. A college education has never been an option for me it was always instilled in my brain as an adolescent as a top priority. In my youth I was certain of my goals and aspirations, the person that I wanted to become and where I see myself in the future. Some people in my same age group with similar upbringing as mine had ne focus. Their prerogative was to acquire money in any way that they knew how. Their options including, dealing drugs or for women prostitution and or becoming a hair stylist. I was adamant that in my profession a college education was not only necessary as a requirement to obtain a law license but also there were no exit strategies. To elucidate I am speaking of secondary options such as a technical school. My peers often believed that my choice would change and I was just hoping that their state of minds too would alter. My dreams of becoming a lawyer was slowly approaching as I reached the age of 18. High school teachers of mine often attempted to sway me into a different direction since I was not as outspoken as my fellow classmates. However, I would inform them just as I have revealed to others that my dream is everlasting and my path is clear. I will become a lawyer and today examining the course of my short academic years—spending only 17 years in school beginning with Head Start- I would be the attorney I have always wanted to be. Life has not always been daisies wi...
In sixth grade, I used to be quiet and insecure, similar to johnny. In sixth grade, I had little to no confidence at all. I barely talked to anyone, and avoided conversations. In seventh grade, I was a whole different person! I made friends with everyone and was confident all of the time. I used to be like Johnny mostly, but i’ve grown away from that trait over the past few
6th grade was not a good year. I did very little work in school and was sent home with, most of it. By 7th grade, medication for ADHD started. The medication changed my life. My mother was right, it was focused medication. I was able to do my work in school, teachers began to help me with my work and the kids started liking me. Although I may have been one of the last students to finish my work after everyone else had finished. I took my time, I had patience, and focused. I began to have confidence in myself. I worked hard and as a result got good grades. Because I worked hard. Throughout the rest of middle school, I continued to be the last student who finished my work. It was alright because I began to believe in myself. Eight grade last student to finish class work recited the poem “Somebody Should Have Taught Him”. I was not nervous at all my new-found confidence hand, given me what I needed to do my
The Renert School is a wonderful, fabulous, and magnificent place to learn. Within its walls, opportunity knocks on everyone's door, as a loving and caring environment helps everyone fulfill their goals. As a student, the Renert School offers me an opportunity to challenge myself. I am constantly pushed to challenge myself, nothing is ever easy, but through hard work and support students like me defeat what challenges us. Appreciation and gratitude, is something very important to me and was unfamiliar to me before I came to the Renert School.
I was always eager to be a sixth grader, I was always proud of myself for “skipping a grade” but that’s the reason why I had no friends. I eat lunch by myself, watching all of the cool kids getting in
A global citizen is that who is willing to use its voice and knowledge to make a change. No one would ever be able to make a change in just one day, it is something that takes time and devotion. I’m really interested in diversity and I’m seeking to what is my role is as a world citizen. The fact that I’m searching for an international education is the proof of my desire to establish myself as a global citizen and my interest in the world issues.
One of the few things in my life that bring me the feeling of pride is the simple fact that I now can talk to people and make friends. There are many occasions that have helped me realize many things. My lack of friends really showed when think about recess as a kid, I can now talk to people easier though it is still draining to do so. Now I can finally say that I have friends. When I was younger, I was the kid that talked all the time and couldn’t move from one task to the next if I hadn’t finished with the first.
