If I Learned To Get An Easy Class

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". The challenging courses that I am provided with help me learn more than if I would take an easy class. I have always taken honors classes when I could, and I push myself to always do better than my best work. I once heard a teacher say, "a class should be taken to learn, not just to get an A". Students should not always focus on getting an A, so much as they should focus on what they are learning in that class.

In class, if someone asks me how to do something I work with them until they understand the concept. Even outside of class, I am willing to offer my help.

I made St. Dominic my high-school. That year I learned things that I will use years into the future. School has always been a number one priority for me. The more I learn, the more prepared I feel for my future. I hope that if I am accepted into the National Honors Society, I can improve even more in Scholarship, Service, and
