My proudest personal accomplishment and honor would be the Commonwealth Governor's School Ponos Award for it truly reflects my determination. In spring of my junior year, I already only had one parent and I was thrown into the position of losing my mother. My mother was the one person who undoubtedly cares about me and my sister, but due to my father's past actions, we were about to lose her to deportation. I wanted to give up, I wanted to kill myself because I didn't think there was anything left in the world for me, that the world has always been so cruel to me. I didn't. I swallowed my fears and enacted normal days during those weeks of agony. I maintained a calm appearance and kept the environment stable, for my sister. I wanted to scream
and cry and cease to exist, but I would have to leave my sister alone to fend for herself in a world that has already attempted to take away so much. Thus, I kept my grades high, the house clean, the environment open, and my mother emotionally stable, for the sake of keeping everything relatively normal. The CGS Ponos award reminds me of the atrocities I've endured through and the ability I have to maintain my work ethics, to maintain a stable environment. That thought of losing your mother when you only have her, that thought is detrimental to people's mental state, that thought almost drove me to suicide. I'm grateful for my work ethics and my determination, my dedication to protect those I love, my ability to endure hardship for hopes of improvement.
Entering high school with little knowledge of seemed impossible to reach the level of National Honor Society but I set my mind the right way, move from regular classes to Advance Placement classes had lots of sleepless nights but I came out successful in the end, to reach my dreams of becoming a member of the National Honor Society and make them a reality. By reaching the National Honor Society I can show my family how strong I am, that I will be someone successful in the future. The best part of achieving the requirements for the National Honor Society was to accomplish the amount of community service hours. I attended the Relay For Life event, an American Cancer Society, on the behalf of the Amnesty International Laredo Branch. I experienced
One of my proudest accomplishments in life was earning my college degree,
My biggest accomplishment in my life would had been when I received my certification as a nursing assistant. The reason being, I had failed the first time; I passed the written part, but failed the physical task part. I was depressed for months - I didn't hang out with friends, hardly ate, and I didn't even feel the need to continue trying to get my certification. Sadly, during those depressed months, I had to wait until I was able to retake the physical which also costed me another $80 (no one wants to hand out that amount of money when you are already upset failing the first time). When I first received the news I had failed it was a terrible feeling, and I felt like a complete failure. Though, after retaking my physical and passing - I felt
I have not had a single accomplishment that is worth writing about but I feel that my college completion will be one accomplishment that I will be most proud. I feel that I am taking one step forward in life that will make me become a more successful person.
An activity and achievement in my life would be being the Academy of Health Professions . This experience was very meaningful to me , because I learned many things that I didn't know about health and many of the procedures that were
As a senior in high school, I am very aware that the decisions I make now and in the next few years may very well affect me forever. With this in mind, I find the motivation to put my all into everything that I do. When I look back on my life thirty years from now, I want to be proud of the choices and accomplishments I’ve made. The adults in my family were not particularly successful when it came to high school, college, or stable careers, so I look forward to making my parents, and most of all myself, proud.
During my life I had some accomplishments. But, I will tell you the truth I cannot call them as my great accomplishments. At this point of my life I had the two greatest events. My first event was my high school graduation. The second event, which was the biggest and the most unforgettable was my wedding day.
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
The day we graduate will be the completion of fourteen years in school. Fourteen years of going to school (Pre-K-12th Grade). This is considered an accomplishment; one to be celebrated. This day is so important that family from across the U.S. will take off work to come see. They will descend upon Salem from thousands of miles away to watch me walk across a stage, and receive a document for my achievement. Standing among my peers on this day to show we mastered the supposed basic skills to lead us through the rest of our lives. I do not believe this should be celebrated, or that it is an accomplishment.
Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself of or others.
I have a broad range of accomplishments. Most of my accomplishments have been in several subjects such as mathematics, science, and even tennis. I credit my achievements to my own perseverance and growth, my mother’s support, and my teachers throughout school. My mother on the other hand, I volunteered at her workplace and I assist in managing a small business in operation, maintenance, administrations, and customer services with give me some basic knowledge of how the money work.
Over this past year, there was a single utmost outstanding accomplishment that has given me a constant source of pride and achievement above all else. During the summer prior to my senior year, I took part in Miami Dade’s paid internship program. During the school year, my Information Technology teacher personally told me about the internship program and emphasized that I attend the presentation taking place. After attending the presentation, I became interested but uncertain what to expect from this internship experience. Prior to this, I had never worked in a corporate IT environment. Despite that, I realized this experience would ultimately benefit me more than anything I have ever accomplished.
An achievement I value must be the first academic metal I received during elementary school for being the student of the year, even though it was my first year as a student. I still feel proud of the achievement because it represents all the hard work that I made, this award was giving to students that were hardworking, helpful, and nice so receiving this award was a
I have made many achievements in my life. I am happy to be such an achiever at things. I remember my first achievement which was in kindergarten. In kindergarten I got on the honor roll for the first time. I was so happy, but I was just happy because my mom was happy. I didn’t even know what honor roll meant, but I finally founded out that is meant that I got all A’s. My mom was so happy for me, and I got lot of money for my A’s. After that my next achievement was that I learn how to ride a bike. When I first started to ride a bike with no training wheels I kept on falling. After I kept falling I didn’t want to learn anymore, but I saw that my little cousin was riding a bike, so I just had to learn how to ride a bike. Finally, after all the sores and burses, I learned how to ride a bike. I still fall every now and then.
My greatest achievement to date, started when I was only ten years old. Little did I know that the decision I would make as a fifth grader would shape not only my life choices, but what kind of person I would grow up to be. The decision was joining The Boy Scouts of America. Up-until fifth grade being a part of Boy Scouts was something I enjoyed but was mostly something my parents made me participate in. My main interest consisted of playing basketball with my closest friends. The problem was that the basketball practice time was at the exact same time as the boy scout meeting time. My parents, understanding my love for basketball, sat me down and asked me which activity I would rather pursue. The choice was entirely mine. I spent the next
