...describe me. Moreover, I guess it is true. I am Roimee Jocuya Pedong, 16 years old, a first year B I am just a simple girl who grew up with a fear to our Lords, to always help others in need and grew up bearing in mind the value of education in one’s life. I was baptized at Rosario Mission center at December 26, 1998. I was baptized by Rev. Fr. Agustin Balanquit with other children. I was four years old when I entered school. I was in day care 1 that time. Being a day care student was not a very good memory for me. I was the only student who always gets the lowest score in quizzes, activities and exams. Because of that, my classmates used to laugh at me. I remember, during our graduation, I had a memorized poem; I let mama hold the microphone I delivered my poem because I was too shy to deliver my poem in front of everyone. Everything turned upside dowen when I entered day care III. I was the one who always top the exams. And, when I delivered my poem, I did not let mama hold the microphone anymore. I was six years old when I entered Elementary School. Since grade one, I was always on the section one and top ten student. I graduated elementary on 2010 as the third honorable mention. During my childhood days, I was playful yet very shy. I don’t really go out of our house, though I really want to play. Way back, my papa was very strict, but we know that it is also for our own good. I studied high school at Saint Michael Academy. During my first year in high school was the hardest year...

...confidence, both in school and throughout my community. Ever since I entered middle school, I have always been involved in several different clubs and activities. When I entered fifth grade, I joined band for the first time, and learned to love it despite all the challenges that came with it. This positive experience that I gained from trying something new led me to participate in even more activities. Once I began seventh grade, the ability to join a variety of different clubs became easier. That year, I started to explore my love for science when I...

...they want to change the world I however grew up thinking I want to make a change to someone’s life. That is how I join Opportunity Smiles. At school many times I have seen special needs kids out casted from society by other students. Despite the fact that they are just human beings like us no one dares to treat them equally or pay some attention to them. In 2012, three girls started Opportunity Smiles at Manvel High School. I did not know what the club was about but the name of the club attracted me to it so I made the choice to go and take a look. When I first entered the room I was greeted by very friendly people; however, they were different in a special way. Throughout the meeting I learned Opportunity Smiles...

...450+ top schools since 1994 Home » Medical School » Medical Sample Essays » Field of Dreams Field of Dreams I heard the familiar sound of the back door closing gently. My father was returning from driving his dirty, green John Deere tractor in one of our fields. Although he begins his day at 5:00 a.m. every morning, he usually returns at around 7:00 p.m. I never really questioned his schedule when I was a child, but as I entered high school I wondered how my dad could work so hard every day of the week and still enjoy what he does. He works long hours, becomes filthy from dirt, oil, and mud, and worst of all, can watch all his hard work go to waste if one day of bad weather wipes out our crop. There have been many years when our raisins were rained on, our cherries were hailed on and our apples were literally baked by the sun. The uncertainties of farming are so great and so challenging. It never ceases to amaze me when my father wakes up every morning to start work, that he does so with gusto. The life of a farmer can be laborious and stressful, yet my father continues to do his work with passionate enthusiasm. His dedication and pride mystified me throughout high school. Only after I entered Big U, did I start to understand how he can persevere and face the challenges of farming. I entered Big U like a small child wandering through a park. Never in my life had I been exposed to anything so grandiose and dominating. Born and raised in a rural town of 3000 people, I wasn't...

...I grew up in a small town with a great educational system and competitive athletic teams. As an athlete, I was always looking for ways to push myself to become a better developed and well-rounded player. During these years, I had many coaches that helped to further develop my skills and stressed the importance of working as a team. We won many games, tournaments and, most importantly, had fun at the same time. When I entered high school, I had a coach that was different than all the other coaches I had growing up and changed me as an athlete, for the worse. I attended a high school outside of my town district. This high school was by no means known for our athletic teams. We had a phenomenal agricultural program that prepared students for future careers, but sports were not as much of an importance to the students. However, there was a dedicated group of students who played on a majority of the athletic teams for our school. Our teams were not the most competitive, and a big part of the reason was due to the poor coaching staff. One of the sports we were least competitive in was basketball. Our coach’s name was Mr. Howard and he was a...

...in East Los Angeles into a Mexican family with a beautiful mother and an influential father, I always wanted to be just like both of them. Soccer has been my way of life ever since I could remember. Since I was in the womb. I got my first soccer cleats before I was a one year old. Before I could even walk. We lived in a small house all the way on top of the hill. I don’t remember much of that place since I was too young to remember anything from that time. I just know that it was packed with all of my father’s brothers and sisters lived there. Along with their husbands and wives. I only remember the days from when we moved into the valley. I’ve always looked up to my dad. I remember he used to tell me stories about how back in Mexico they used to cut a hole in the school fence and sneak into the field just to play soccer. All of his stories about adventure always had me entertained, and still do. When I was younger I would want to dress like him and imitate almost all of his acts. From the boots and sombrero he would wear to the flavor of the soda he would choose at McDonalds. He’s always pushed me to go for success. He’s a part-time coach in a way. If it wasn’t for my dad I don’t think I’d have that hunger and strive to move forward with things. My mom is pretty much the opposite of my father. She’s calm and one of the kindest people out there. She’ll never make me do something I wouldn’t want to do. My mom is honestly the base of our family. She’s the kind of person that’ll...

..."Education is the key" that’s all I heard for about thirteen years of my life. Being raised in a family where it was believed that an education came before anything was very difficult understand as a child. "I can't, should NEVER be in your vocabulary" was said religiously until finally I understood and even after that. I am grateful that all of this led me to a seat in a college classroom where some of my family and friends never encountered. It all began in elementary school, Henry E.S. Reeves. "Does your child know how to read and write?" That’s one of the questions the teachers asked my mom before we entered the class. I wasn’t one of the best, but I do believe that I was better than many others my age. Pre-K was the only schooling that I knew about, so elementary school was new to me. In Pre-K they taught us all the basics. I would agree that some of the best teachers worked there. They taught us so well there that by the time of graduation we were smart enough to write something's that our parent didn’t expect us to write. During kindergarten I tried my best to impress all the teachers and to get them to recommend me for gifted classes. After being there for about three years I was transferred to another school where we didn’t do as much we did reading and math. That really did affect me. A few years later I entered middle school. Middle school and high school were similar. This section of my life was very different and difficult. The teachers that I had to deal with now weren't...

...Ponce was born. Little did this baby know, she was about to go through a rollercoaster when making and losing friends. That baby girl was me. I started preschool in 2006 at the age of 3 going on 4 in October. In preschool I was a shy girl who kept to myself, in fact, I still am that way. I surprisingly managed to make 4 friends that I will forever keep dear to my heart. Unfortunately, I do not recall the names of these 4 friends, but I do remember the impact they made in my life. If it weren’t for these friends I would have sat alone at lunch, played recess by myself, and I would have dreaded waking up in the morning to go to school, even more than I already did. Sadness struck me in 2007 when I would be moving to a new school to attend kindergarten....

...words) Fall of 2009, I entered Hallandale High School as “fresh meat.” Being such a shy individual, it was hard for me to make friends. My best friend, Diana, inspired me to become active in school. Diana was a cheerleader so I decided to follow in her footsteps. The cheerleaders at my school were the leaders of the school. In my eyes I didn’t fit the description. I was a freshman who sat by themselves before, during, and after school. It was impossible to become one of the girls. All that ran through my mind was performing in front of people and messing up. I would be the laughing stock at school. Try-outs quickly approached and my fear was at its peak. I somehow swallowed my fear and entered the gym with some hope. When I saw how many girls were trying out, I made a u-turn to my house. Diana called as soon as a walked into the door. I told her what had happen and she was extremely disappointed. She explained the benefits of being a cheerleader and how it would help me get out of my shell. Fortunately, Diana’s words stuck with me the next day. I went to try-outs with a new mind set. For the next two weeks, I gave all that I could. On September 21st I tried out for Hallandale High School’s cheerleading squad. On September 22nd I was apart of the cheerleading squad. A new chapter of my life had begun. Essay Part B: Describe how you overcame this challenge. Tell us how it has shaped you as an individual. (250 to 500 words) While trying out I felt like I was an apple trying...

...I never understood my secret desire to be popular and to avoid being labeled as a loser in the Dark Ages of middle school. The sudden drive to be cool, probably brought on by the plague of puberty. This simple desire was so important to me that I started to abandon what was truly important to me, such as longtime friends, forfeit my grades, good habits, my love for reading, and my constant pursuit for knowledge. However, things didn’t go as planned and I actually never became one of the “popular” kids, so after everything that happened I ended up giving up what was important for a title that was only important until college. I entered high school still determined to be popular until I received my summer reading assignment the “Battle of Jericho” by Shannon M. Draper....

...hy do people fulfill their own stereotype that drags down their performance. A stereotype is when someone sees another person in a particular way but know how that person is really like. For example, people see that whites and asian are smarter than hispanics and blacks. Another example of a stereotype is when people say that women are the ones who stay home to cook and clean and that men are the ones who go to work. A time when I felt that I was stereotyped was in middle school when people saw me as a teacher's pet. When i first entered middle school i was very shy so i was always the quiet one in the class. I always did my work. The only reason I didn't talk was because none of my friends weren't...
