As I'm sitting here writing this personal statement I'm stuck. I don't know what to say. Im supposed to talk about who I am and why you should accept me. The truth is I only recently discovered who I was and I still am. I'm still trying to figure out where I fit in, in this world. Now that I'm writing this I realize I don't fit in anywhere. I guess it all started when I was 6. My mom got really sick and was diagnosed with cancer. I was too young to fully understand what this meant but all these years later I finally know. When I was 7 I came home from school and the phone rang. It was the doctor calling to say my mom had died. At the time it didn't affect me, I didn't know how to …show more content…

I didn't have the same drive I did for school anymore. I just wanted to chill and have fun. I thought that was what high school was about and it is but so are grades. Freshmen and sophomore year i didn't realize how important school was. Junior year hit me hard. All everyone was talking about was college. This is when I really started to think about what I wanted to do. I was lost maybe because I didn't really know who I was. My family life isn't that great but I won't complain. All I can do is accept the fact that this is my life. However because of this I really don't know what I want to do because I don't know where I belong. In my opinion, I don't belong anywhere. This brought me back to elementary when everyone didn't like me because I didn't fit in. Today I embrace it. I don't just want to be good in one field I want to be good in everything I love to do. Whether it be culinary arts, fashion merchandising, design, photography etc. Junior year is when I realized I wanted to go to college and it changed my whole perspective on life. I began to gain the drive I had in middle school. I had to grow up and I did. This is my senior year and my top majors I want to have in college is culinary arts and fashion merchandising. I love fashion and I also love to eat. I figured fashion would be a great career field for me to be in because it allows me to be creative and different. Culinary Arts also allows me to be creative just with food. I'm getting

    558 Words  | 2 Pages

    High school was not a completely dreadful experience, but I did not get a really an exceptional education. As I entered high school, I thought it would be a whole new exciting chapter in my life. I started out as an involved student, and went through all of the Advance Placement and Honor classes, and managed to be at the top 12% of my class. In high school, I basically placed myself to enjoy it; I joined all of the extra curricular activities I was interested in. I was in band, tennis, swimming, dance team, and Key Club. Sometimes I was at school for about fourteen hours a day, four times a week.

    Intro Deciding what you want to study during your college career can be a difficult and tedious task. This is due to fact that many young adults coming out of high school are unsure of what they want to do or what path to take career wise. It is also tedious because this requires that these individuals have to constantly try and explore new avenues so that they can find their passion in life.

    I have to admit that I will not look fondly on my high school career. I spent most of my study time going out with my friends. I felt that I was paying my dues with the eight hours of boredom that began most of my days. Until now there were only a few classes that I enjoyed. In retrospect, I believe that it was my inability to choose the classes I took which resulted in my lack of enthusiasm on the ride to school each morning.

    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.

  • Personal Narrative: My Mother's Struggle With Cancer

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I was younger, I remember feeling as though I lived in a bubble; my life was perfect. I had an extremely caring and compassionate mother, two older siblings to look out for me, a loving grandmother who would bake never ending sweets and more toys than any child could ever realistically play with. But as I grew up my world started to change. My sister developed asthma, my mother became sick with cancer and at the age of five, my disabled brother developed ear tumors and became deaf. As more and more problems were piled upon my single mother’s plate, I, the sweet, quiet, perfectly healthy child, was placed on the back burner. It was not as though my family did not love me; it was just that I was simply, not a priority.

I need to make sure I definitely want to attend college. The decision is totally up to me. There are many positives and negatives of attending college. Go over them, and then decide. I know myself better then anyone else, and I won’t let anyone else tell me what to do. I will make sure if I am going to attend college that I have something in mind that I will want to do, to succeed in. Choosing a major can be a very stressful situation so why not sit down and take some time to do it? Be creative, don’t rush, give yourself plenty of time and really think about what interests you in life. My major is something that I will want to enjoy, something that I will be doing for the rest of my life. Why would I want to be miserable at something I do in life? In two short essays: “College?

    You know, it is really strange how quickly time passes, after spending my whole childhood wishing I was an adult, now here we are and it's a little hard to grasp. It feels like just yesterday I was standing here in the same position at eighth grade graduation. Ahh, middle school, such a joyous time for all of us, free of maturity and not a care in the world. The biggest decisions I ever had to make then was deciding which group to stand with at passing time and choosing which shirt from my extensive collection of Stussy and No Feat apparel to wear. We were all naive to the danger that lurked just around the corner. We were unaware that the carefree world we lived in was about to come crashing to the ground in a blazing inferno of real school work and responsibility ... otherwise known as high school.
