Hatred, being different, and watching others deceive me set me on a path to avoid irrational problems and allowed me to spread an upside towards the community, but letting people who don't know me, to believe I am that "person" to help others in some way with good intentions. For starters, I took on habits in my life before high school that affected the way I am, and I tend to lean towards justice by going back and forth between my decisions to ensure I make a rational and reasonable decision. How I dealt with the world was emotional and suddenly, I just built walls to keep myself from breaking down and to not fall back on others most of the time. To explain, I had three older brothers, a mom, and a dad that I loved. My two oldest brothers did drugs, alcohol, smoking, …show more content…
As middle school came to an end, I realized I shouldn't be trying to suffocate myself from the community and embrace the need to socialize with others. Now, the beginning of high school at Central Medical Magnet High School was so much better. I started out accepting who I was, who I met, and just living life. I was so nice as a freshmen, and a sophomore. During those school years, I would help others because I can't imagine someone failing a class because I was at fault sometimes for not helping them. For my junior year, I did an absurd amount of community service and after-school activities just to find a place where I belonged in life. From those times, I learned how to do hard work, the feeling of knowing the unfortunate lives of others, and the negativity that consumes the world. To sum my life up, living takes its toll on me, and I understand how my good intentions became a habit, but my bad actions sometimes come out from what I dealt with in the past. Every year getting better and staying away from deception and darkness has always been number one priority to not shatter me. The time I need to confront a problem is when I know I can stop it
Up till middle school, it seemed like I fit in pretty well at school. I was decent at sports and I had a good amount of friends. Life was pretty good at the time and I was enjoying it. Once high school started, I could see a shift in my life. I had lost most friends from prior years, and I was not good at sports; I struggled to fit in.
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.
...hool and work and life in general. I did not strive to do my best in high school and especially my dual enrollment classes. I was not ever thinking about my future and started not coming to classes. Once I accepted God in my life Junior Summer, all that changed. I realized I was on a negative path and God helped me turn my life around. Senior year is going wonderful so far, my grades are the best they have ever been and I am busy as ever with work, school, church, and volunteer work. I love it this way, I believe staying busy requires me to stay on task and get a lot done, that is the lifestyle I have to take to college. Although that bad patch in high school lowered my grades and performance, making it more difficult to get into college, I am thankful it happened so I could learn from it before heading off to a new chapter in my life, hopefully at Auburn University!
...ademic hardships. Even though I lost so much during junior year, I was unaware of the fact that secretly I was actually gaining a great deal of life experiences and real-life lessons for the future. Quite honestly I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I matured early in life; with this new maturity I feel I can accomplish anything. I feel I can make a positive difference in this world. I feel like this experience will be the primary step in my success, in terms of my career, and in the launch of my Children in Need campaigns in third world countries. I feel like the young superman who just learned how to fly, slightly aware of his magnificent impact towards the world. In short, I feel junior year provided foundation for the more mature and adult chapters of my life, and without the numerous obstacles of junior year, I would never gained the key to a successful future.
I have done so by participating in numerous activities, and when I commit to something, I put all my effort into it, to the fullest extent of my ability. This allows me to be able to meet and cultivate relationships with new people at Roswell High School that I would not have met otherwise. In forming these newfound friendships, I have been able to mature socially and emotionally; I learned to nurture my ability to empathize with others and to express my care and compassion for others more easily. This has allowed me to realize my true heart for people, and I have used these skills, along with my enthusiasm and sense of humor, to encourage an environment of school pride.
My beliefs are important to me. I wake up every morning with a cup of coffee in my hand and turn on the daily news. I see many problems occurring around the world, but most of us are too blind to actually do something to help. We are too blinded by our society's cultural that we can’t separate ourselves from the good and bad.
The freshman year of high school came around and the influences of drugs and alcohol were a daily presence in and outside of the classroom. Peer pressure was the biggest problem of all as the friends I had at the time started drinking and lowering their grades. I life wake-up call and I began seeking out a portion of the school that wasn’t involved in these social illness. I started to become a member of the JROTC and Emerald brigade band to be focused. Sharing my experience was part of the remedial process, useful tool that bring the opportunity to help other students and start to become a leader.
Yet again, I was starting another school where I didn’t know anyone.I had to do it all over again, with the same thoughts going through my head, wondering what it was going to be like, always wondering if I was going to fit and make friends easily knowing how big it was. I decided that these next two years at this school were going to be focused on college and my school work, I wasn’t going to be in any clubs or sports. I thought to myself that joining a sport at a small school was very different and I didn’t want to know what it was like at a big school. I managed starting this school just like I managed starting high school. Good thing I am very outgoing so I enjoy meeting new people! I remember my first day of school there like it was yesterday. Walking in and seeing thousands of faces that I have never seen before. It was huge, 1500 in each grade. It was so big that they had two different campuses; one for the freshman and sophomores and another for the juniors and seniors. It was really hard making friends but I was lucky enough to be able to go to the Lake County Tech Campus associated with the College of Lake County and I made a lot of friends there in my nursing class. It was a very racial school, there wasn’t a majority of one race whereas Central was majority whites. I enjoyed all of my teachers that I ever had at Warren and I felt that I really learned a lot compared to feeling like I was ever
I learned that life has many ups and down and sometimes I will be stuck in the middle not knowing where to go. After my grandfather's death, I discovered that when I surround myself with those that bring me happiness it becomes easier to get over the humps in life. I also discovered that when life throws me one of its crazy curveballs I can not dwell on the problem at hand, and instead I need to figure out a way to change the problem or come up with alternative solutions. Even though there were many hindrances thrown my way those hindrances taught me that the greatest power I possess is the ability to express my emotions. Like a camel's back, there are many ups and downs in life and sometimes periods in which I will feel dumbfound, but sophomore year has trained me to learn how to adapt to new challenges that come my way in order to
I began educating myself on things that I should have learned in earlier years. Then reality began to set in. I had a few friends who tried to kill themselves and a few others who had succeeded in doing so. While watching this unravel, I saw a huge part of myself in them. I saw that those who were friends of mine, wanted love just like I did. I knew nothing but how to fend for myself. Then next thing I know, I was trying to keep friends of mine alive. This was not for my own benefit either. This was simply because I could relate to the loneliness that these kids were feeling. As the years went on I began to recognize the importance of people and their emotions. I never had that person to talk to and I would never wish what I went through on anyone. With that I had learned to understand peoples pain and attempt to acknowledge it even if I don’t understand. This has led me to present day where my only goal is to build everyone up that I meet. My ethical goal has developed into a love for everyone and a desire to do no harm.
Taking that step towards high school, an important part in my life was Community Action for Teens. This organization has allowed me to work together with youths to learn and develop leadership skills in order to make a difference in our lives, families, schools and communities. We became advocates against challenging issues that trouble young people our age, namely alcohol and tobacco use. We also participated in numerous community service projects aimed at building appreciation and respect for the community, and fostered leadership development and community service skills. Thanks to this support group, I feel more prepared after high school.
You hate me and you obviously see me differently now and even when this whole fight began, but I just wanted to elaborate and spill every word and thought that I have been feeling and hiding all for the sake of you. I am have been feeling emotional and mentally broken. Even writing this is hard cause i dont know what to say or how to say it what should even be first, I am angry and depressed and lost because for the longest time I have been feeling irrelevant. This whole thing has felt like a friendship break up. And you want me to chill and move on
History is said to repeat itself, but in my opinion that theory is an easy out. It is an easy way to excuse inexcusable behavior. It’s a way for the common person to justify their unwillingness to change for the better.
However I realized I didn’t need school in my life, so I pretty much gave up. Then summer came along and we decided to go to Mexico and for once I enjoyed it, I didn’t worry about what I wore or what my hair looked like I could actually enjoy it. I seemed to have forgotten what it felt like to be popular and I enjoyed it. When school started back in the fall for 4th grade I was separated from my group of “friends” and being the mean person I was I didn’t have a lot of friends, so I was hated and I deserved it I also hated myself too. Having no friends because of who I was made me want to change, I wanted to start over I wanted everyone to forgive me.
I was able to overcome many problems and challenge myself in different aspects. At the very beginning of the year, I was very sensitive and having a bad experience meant a bad life to me. Later on, I started to realize what I am doing in school, and why I am here… I understood that life without ups and downs means you're died.
