I was striving for an unattainable goal because I didn’t work towards any form of progression. On the other hand, being an instrumentalist has taught me the importance of daily goals, a good work ethic, and dedication. With that in mind, I am becoming more aware that music is not just the notes on an staff but also the zipping of a jacket and even the tumbling on a trampoline floor. I believe that my five year old self would be proud of who I am becoming because I have already completed my personal goals instead of lacking improvement in the shadows of someone…
My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have. It was they who pushed me to keep trying and striding to succeed and without them, I would not have accomplished what I have today. One of the things that I am most proud of doing is helping to bring new clubs and activities to Barnegat High School. This year, with the help of other students and advisors, a new club made it into the ranks of the diverse sea of clubs and groups that already exist.…
Bob Marley once said, “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.” In today’s society teenagers are expected to succeed and excel throughout their high school journey with the support of their parents, In order to gain a successful future. However, when fate decides to turn its back on you and pose challenging obstacles the opposite occurs, unless you decide to do something in order to turn it around. After moving to the United States at the age of six, and having to learn a completely new language, I realized of how capable I was as an individual.…

In eighth grade, I decided to audition for GMEA District Honor Band. The audition itself was nerve-racking, but I made it and was able to get fourth chair. This was one of the greatest experiences of my life because I got to spend all day studying music with others who shared the same passion as I do. Last year was my first year in marching band. At the end of the year at the school's spring concert, I was awarded the Wildcat Rookie of the Year, which was a huge achievement for my.…

Some of my successes in life include winning baseball tournaments, getting voted into the allstars in my baseball league, being the youngest kid in colorado to get his license to hunt, and firing a 306 when i was 6 without my arm falling off. My 1st success in baseball was when i was 7 years old and my team was losing the championship game by 2 points, so when i got up to bat there was a guy on 3d base and on 2nd, we already had 2 outs so if i got out we lost the game here. So when i got up to bat i got 2 strikes and the next pitch i hit allowing me to get to 2nd base and my teammates on bases 2 and 3 to get home and score the 2 points we needed to tie the game and go into overtime.…
One accomplishment I am most proud of is teaching myself to play the piano. Music has always been one of my favorite things in life. When I was younger, I would try to come up with song lyrics and was also interested in learning guitar. My dad played when he was younger but never played much after he had kids. I was fortunate enough one day to get a piano from a close family friend.…

I would consider these major accomplishments in my life because I have worked hard and made several sacrifices in order to achieve them. Though I still managed to…
During my time in high school, I have realized what I am truly passionate about. When I’m not at school or working at Chick-fil-A, my time is almost entirely devoted to band. I am also always looking for ways to create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly space. Environmental awareness and music make me the happiest in my life. I’ve spent roughly 1,300 hours taking part in my high school marching band program.…
Six years ago, I barely knew what a cello was. I originally wanted to play the Violin, but my school’s orchestra already had six. Because there were only two cellos, I decided to attempt to bring out any sound I could get from the instrument. I hated the cello when I began learning how to produce sound from its components for the reason that it was not a violin. I complained multiple about how I hated “that god-forsaken- instrument”; I convinced myself that playing it was the least productive part of my day.…

I acquired leadership skills such as patience, alertness, problem-solving, communication, and cultural competence. I was privileged to work with students from various backgrounds and became exposed to different cultures, learnings, and living styles. My volunteer experiences helped me feel connected to the Buffalo community in the process of making it a better place. I was also able to meet new people and form long lasting friendships. Through volunteer work with the Volunteer and Service-Learning Center, I discovered a new interest in painting.…
Have you ever achieved a goal of yours that has made you feel overwhelmingly proud of yourself? I have accomplished that in my life by graduating high school and receiving my Diploma. I feel this has been my greatest accomplishment in life by far due to the fact that it made my mother proud, I accomplished my benchmarks, and it even gave me a great amount of opportunities after high school. To begin, I believe that graduating high school is almost unattainable without the support of your loved ones who only want you to prosper and my mother did just that for 4 challenging years.…
