How To Celebrate My Major Accomplishments

Decent Essays
I would like to thanks everyone for coming to help celebrate this major accomplishment in my life. I am truly blessed today to be still alive and well at the big age of 50. It has been a long hauling, fun, and adventurous first half of life. Winning all those super bowl rings and and world series trophies was not that easy.

Those early morning workout practices, the two a days, the late night practices, the night staying up late, those nights without sleep, and those long tiring days. It all worked out in the finished product. I had a successful career and now it's my time to relax. I am not the one training anymore, I am now training the youth to help improve their game.

First off I would like to thank my mother and father for everything. They are the real MVPs! They did everything from raising me, and teaching the true ways to live life and respect others. They helped me become the man I am. My father always pushed me to do my best and try when I do everything I do. My mother taught me how to be a gentleman, and how to live the golden rule. They both always cared for me and made sure to discipline me when I did something wrong. I learned a lot of hard lessons in life because of them, and now I am disciplining my children to always do the right things in life like how my parents raised

    There are several experiences in my life where I have felt that I was treated in an unfair manner, but the most recent of those experiences is the one that occurred to me only months prior to this application. Up until the beginning of November of this year, I used to believe that being a great and successful student would be the most rewarding accomplishment of my senior high career. As a result of this, I unwisely assumed that the most important thing in my life was how well I could do on the next test. I spent a meager amount of my time involved in anything else aside from my homework or studying; expecting to be fairly remunerated for a majority of my hard work. Earlier this year, I was indeed rewarded with an application to National Honors…

    Everything I am and have accomplished so far in my life can, at least in part, be credited to my parents. My mother, a professor of chemical engineering, and my father, a healthcare automation and systems integration engineer for a major healthcare provider, are my biggest role models and who I try to emulate in both my work and academics.

Furthermore, my love of sports and physical activity that persisted throughout childhood, adolescence, and remains with me even today can be attributed partly…
