Decent Essays
What is my definition of a great accomplishment ? A great accomplishment is the action of doing something extremely successful. That’s how I see it in my eyes. I have many great accomplishments, but the one that stands out the most is when I graduated high school. May twenty-seventh of two thousand and seventeen. That was the day any teenager would dream of. I graduated from Spalding High School with honors and the third best in my class. The more I think about it the more I realize it wasn’t the graduating that made it great. It was seeing how proud my family was of me that made it such a great accomplishment. What made graduating such a great accomplishment? Mainly because I knew at that exact moment I made it. Even though it took me twelve

    I believe my greatest success was receiving honors at Argosy University. I think this was my greatest achievement because it’s something that’s gets me a little closer to my goals. If it wasn’t for that boost of motivation I received, I don’t believe that I would be as encouraged. I needed the boast so I can stay positive and stay on top of what is most important. An achievement like that takes hard work and when I saw it pay off, it made me so happy.…

    Accomplishments come plenty to those who underappreciate them, and scarcely to those who fight for them their entire lives to even have one. Accomplishments come to those who work hard every day while so many others get them default; these people are the ones who without hesitation give up everything else when a chance comes to be better, not only for others, but for themselves. Accomplishments are marks and decrees of excellence and achievement, and they signal the growth of a person’s character. An accomplishment is when an opportunity comes and provides a chance for a person to move forward on their path to success. When my opportunity was presented and I was given the responsibility and requirements needed to be successful, it was second…

    I’m normally the calm, reserved one but the feeling that I had accomplished something not only for myself, but my mom and my kids made the moment even more special. While that moment was celebratory it took a lot to get to that point. Before attending MSU I applied for many scholarships through the ministry and failed every time to get a scholarship. I purchased piece of land and then used that land as security to get a student loan. After my first two weeks of school I was so overwhelmed and felt so out of place.…

    Great Success Success is the lofty idea of accomplishing some type of task that can make someone feel extraordinary. Everyone can think back to a time where they experienced some success, whether it is closing a major business deal or as simple as helping someone out. The concept of success morphs from person to person, but most people can agree the dictionary definition misses the true essence, the idea of success evolves as a person does, and true success is related to morals. The definition of success and the average person’s perception of success can be very similar and slightly deceiving. The Webster’s definition of success is, the attainment of popularity or profit.…

    One accomplishment that I have would be the day I started my internship at Marsh Elementary School. It was around September 2014, when me and my friend were making our way to what can possibly be the worst or best thing of our life. We received our class number from Ms.Berry, the principal who walked each of us to our classroom and introduced us to our teacher. When she left, my mentor teacher, Ms. Lingen, who is the fourth grade teacher in my internship class, she asked me to introduce myself and to say a little bit about myself. As I was saying my name, I started getting all clammy, my hands were sweating, and my pulse was quickening.…

It’s also everything else in between and along the way of life’s journey. In essence, I want my success to leave an imprint of making people’s lives better for knowing…

    Graduation was a time to celebrate my achievements, to celebrate growing up and maturing into adulthood, to celebrate my friends and family that guided me along the way, and most importantly to celebrate one chapter coming to an end, and another one just beginning. The night before graduation I could hardly sleep as I knew that my high school career would soon be over. I got up that next morning, took a shower, put my makeup on, straightened my hair, and put my favorite black dress on, only this time I had my chords, cap, and gown to go with it.…
