Chesterfield Academy Personal Statement

Improved Essays
On October 7th, 2002, I was born in Fairfax. Living in a home in Mantua, Virginia my family and I shared a home that I barely remember. Then we moved to Vienna, Virginia where we live now. My first school was Chesterfield Academy, where I learnt how to write, spell, and use a computer. Those three skills have followed me through my life and shaped a large part of it. Chesterfield Academy was a good preschool, with the moon shining in my face as I rode in.

Eventually, I graduated to Wolftrap Elementary School and joined FCPS at first grade. I was doing quite well in Wolftrap, rapidly adjusting to a new school. My grades vere very good and I was involved in various activities, such as tennis and piano. The rest of elementary school, I earned more friends than I ever had, some following me to Kilmer and eventually Marshall. Although I earned many friends, most remembered me for my spelling or computer advice. I took many adventures in elementary school. The ones I remember most are my summer vacations to Cancun, Mexico, the Florida Keys, Park City in Colorado, and Hawaii. My last year in Wolftrap was a turbulent one.

The two years were full of memorable teachers, somewhat hard work, and Model UN. Math 7, Science, English, Drama, History, and Creative Writing formed the skeleton of my 7th grade activities. Eighth grade was when I became a director of the school’s television program and learned how Kilmer worked.

The rest of the year flew by until the SOLs. Earning a majority of ‘Pass Advanced’s let me leave Kilmer feeling good about my academic abilities. Of note was my Writing SOL score, a solid

    While Dakota was the one to introduce me to writing, freshman year of high school was the time where I got serious about my hobby. Freshman year of high school played a vital role in molding my love of writing from a whimsical dream into a passion. And while I look back on freshman year with a naive nostalgia, freshman year was also a year I would like to forget. The year I graduated from middle school and moved on to high school was a year many of my friends moved away and I was all but left alone. I was scared and wasn’t able to properly express myself, therefore making it difficult to make many new friends.…

    Eli, I’m sorry that I haven’t talked to you sooner. Everything just got jumbled up the last couple months of school, and testing and graduation just bunched together into this massive ball of stress. My 8th grade year was just alright. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t exactly picture-perfect, it was just smack dab in the middle. Some classes were just plain boring (cough, cough, Mrs. Walton) but the class that I most enjoyed was surprisingly, English with Ms. Toll.…
