Improved Essays
Being raised in a humble home with little luxury yet filled with joy of family and hope of success. I’ve always understood that money isn’t happiness or we don’t all begin at the same place. In a home where intelligence and an education is admired I’ve always strived towards a future with a good education. Helping others achieve their goals has always been a dream of mine.

My family has always given me their full support in whichever way they can both financially or motivation. My mom has always accepted the decisions I make for myself.

Support has always been present for my education, which isn’t something everyone can say. My parents have been there for me no matter what is going on in their lives and I’ve always felt the need to repay them later on. My middle school was a fantastic school which really prepared me for the future though their values and principles. The St. Andrews community is a very close and supportive community which is still helping me out and making sure I’m doing well in my education. I really like what they are doing providing private school education for those in low income households with something to offer to the world. Again I would like to one day donate money to help a student with their education. Many people with great potential are hidden in areas of poverty and are ignored which is something I’d like to one day change by starting programs which will aid in finding these great

    An unusually fragile underclassman: devoid of faith and fearful of a new environment brimming with the cold embrace of the unknown. “What do you like about yourself?” Sitting in the audience, listening to an assembly during my freshman orientation of high school, this existential question hit me like a tidal wave—initially destructive yet ultimately metamorphic. Those around me blessed with a wealth of confidence from a young age beamed with vanity: athletes, scholars, musicians and those exceptionally precocious few with the ability to thrive in multiple environments.…

    It is often said that teenagers begin discovering themselves in high school, but I did the opposite- I lost myself. The source of my pleasure and delight shifted from books to parties, writing to boys, and video-games to my social life. Something within me desperately craved to be normal- to no longer be the girl that gets harassed and ostracized for being an “appalling nerd” and because of this, vital aspects of my personality began to change and I morphed into an entirely different person. Through this journey, I learned that my self-hate was a catalyst for self-love and appreciation. Having always been considered an unusual girl in the eyes of my peers, I'd never been truly comfortable in my skin.…

    The love I carry is partly a result of skill, partly a result of experience. It’s deep, like the ocean that surrounds us. As much as it would fit to say my love for sports will continue as long as the island stretches, it’s probably not a good comparison seeing as Kwajalein is only three miles long. Nevertheless, the size, restrictions, and boundaries Kwaj contains never hinder my passion for sports, but rather enhance it. Sports and athletics have had such an impact on my life, I can’t ever see myself stopping.…
