High school, it sucks. In my family, it has always just been a given rule that the children will do good in school and go onto college. My parents always wanted my brother and I to go to college, since they never had the chance to. My dad would always say, “I want better for you guys than I had for myself”. One way to accomplish that, was to get good grades in high school and move onto college. So it was not a big shock to my family when I said I wanted to graduate my Junior year of high school

Harvard. Harvard. Harvard. Everyday the name of the college still prances around in my mind like a rabbit. The thought of going to one of the highest ranked school in the nation always excites me. My parents would be so proud of me. Pursuing my dream and becoming an astronomer -- or even better, an astronaut--is the best thing I could ever achieve for myself. It can only happen, however, if you have near perfect grades, and that’s exactly what I’m shooting for. Though in my younger years, I could

All About Me Everyone defines themselves in different ways. Everyone also finds different things important to them. If I were to choose three main things that are the most important in my life at this moment; I would choose, family, friends, and education. These three things have helped build who I am as a person today. Family has always been important to me. Without my family I would be out on the streets like a lost dog. Both of my parents have done their best to raise me and get me to where

As a kid, I was not the biggest soccer fan- not even close-, so when the world cup of 2006 arrived and everyone was hysterical about it, I was struggling between watching it despite the boredom it caused me and to keep with my reluctant position but face isolation due to the lack of common interests with others. Nevertheless, my father, as the big fan he was, decided to give me a present that could involve me in the “soccer craziness” and still keep me amused: a world cup calendar where I could write

There are many things that motivate me, although for a short time there was almost nothing that motivated me. When I was young around seventh grade, I never really had anything to motivate me besides my parents just pushing me through school. Before moving into the eighth grade the school decided to have most of the students in my math class to be placed in an advanced math class. I was really upset going into eighth grade because I wasn't in the advanced classes, sadly all of my friends were. Before

“You deserve to be here.” I whisper to myself, taking a deep breath before straightening my shoulders, turning the doorknob, and letting myself in. Walking into a room full of 18 year old boys,all who have the intention of taking you down, is never easy. My heels click-clack on the porcelain floor and heads turn. The beaming, fluorescent lights threaten my focus but I keep an unwavering, confident smile on my face as I greet the judges and find my seat. On it is a placard, with the name “ Representative

This Is My Life There is not much about me that I would like to share because I’m just a person that keeps my feelings to myself than to express them. I’ve always felt like this since I was in elementary school. At a very young age, I was repeatedly told that "whatever goes on in this house, stays in this house" with that being said, I just didn’t open up or talk to anyone like everybody else does. My family think that I need counseling or some sort of therapy especially anger management but I

Me as a high school student, I'm always being reminded to figure out what to do with my life, what career I would like to have and so on. I feel massive amounts of pressure when my teachers and parents tell me to figure out something now. One day I turn on my tv I saw Akron Racers playing I seem to love it a lot I told my parents I want to be a softball player because of their work, their way of doing things, of their personality, and of what they believe. I tenderness working as a team, I desire

Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” This quote has resonated within my soul for years, and as the time came for me to consider a career path, I knew that I needed to choose something that I have a genuine passion for. Thus, as I set my eyes towards my future, I searched for a path of life that I love with an undying passion. With a profound introspection, I realized that the one fascination in my life that never seem to be work as

In the beginning of my high school career, I failed to listen to the wisdom of my teachers and parents. I was told that this is where colleges begin to look at your grades, and this is when it mattered. So, when I was a freshman, I was too immature and arrogant to take heed in what my elders were saying. However, I have always pushed myself to be in the upper tier of classes. My immaturity as a freshman, and for first semester of my sophomore year, is reflected in my grades. I received a D in Integrated
