...Throughout my childhood, I took life way too easy. I never really found school to be much important in life when compared to the football or baseball games that came on TV. Yet, I still worked really hard, finishing my homework each night, but I never really found true success, like getting all A’s in a school year. I was always jealous of my younger brother who never got below a 100% on anything that he did. He finished second in a law day contest in the state, and achieved high success (perfect scores) on the NJ ASK. On the other hand, I was really lazy. I got honor roll sometimes, but this wasn’t good enough. A lot of cousins didn’t really think I was going to succeed academically in life. I always thought to myself, I’m going to get that high honor roll next year, but sadly I kept on being hesitant, procrastinated all the time, and got even more sad....

When I don’t get one I usually feel disappointed in myself and regularly try to correct my mistake before it can happen again. When I grow up I want to be an engineer, so I try extra hard in math and science. I do well in group projects and I have been best in class in a couple of public speeches. I also was tested and had one of the best reading levels in my school family/team. Reaching 270 AR points in first grade may not earn me any scholarships, but it shows that I’m a self motivated hard working kid. Participation & Leadership...
