Through my journey in high school, I have found that I am not always the smartest person in the room, but I am almost always the hardest worker. I find myself being the hardest worker because I am always working for the long-term goal. My biggest goal is to graduate from college with a master’s in education and to become a teacher. Of course, to do this I have to do well in school and challenge myself to make more than the bare minimum grade required to pass. This has led me to push myself in my classes, math team, extracurriculars, and volunteer work. I have learned that hard work with a goal in mind can accomplish almost anything, and I am the kind of person who likes to strive and achieve the best I can. The aforementioned is especially seen in my drive to achieve at school. At this point in my high school career, my biggest time commitment and passion is school.

I like to be challenged and to achieve the best I can be in all that I do. That means if I am going to be a teacher, then I am going to try to be the best teacher I can be. To me that means working hard and doing my best in school today as well as trying to inspire the same out of my future

    As a child, I loved school. Learning, playing, and interacting with others brought joy to my life. At school, I spent my energy doing as much as I could while I was there, and at home, I would pretend to be at school, teaching all of my stuffed animals what I learned that day. While this passion of mine did not last forever, it did not fully disappear. The older I became, the less school appealed to me, but the drive to do my best stayed consistent throughout.…

    Academically, I have always considered myself to be a driven, and scholarly person. In school I am determined to take the hardest classes to challenge myself, and scholarship is defined as, "Learning of a higher level".
