What I believe, I believe in hard work, the type of work that will bring an individual success. One summer, after being notified of my failed grade in English the year before. I was transferred to Concord High school. This was my first time going to summer school I was not sure what to expect. Once I was dropped off, there was a board showing students names and class room they were assigned to.…
I have multiple leadership skills where I have to take my knowledge and and apply it to the situations. I participate in many school activities, although I am not out for sports I still cheer from the pep band sections at every home football and basketball game. I set a good example by helping out my community by serving at Parc Hall in Emmetsburg, and I have helped with the putting together of two new businesses between Graettinger and Ruthven. Community Service…

Famous Social Activist Desmond Tutu, once said, “Do your little bit of good where you are; it is those little bits of good put all together that overwhelm the world.” In my experience, I have certainly found this to be true. Life is a blessing to me I am so lucky and privileged to be able to have an education, loving friends and family, and a place to call my home. Lately, through the stress of my junior year of high school, I have been forgetting to connect to my true self. Staying up late for assignments and keeping up with extracurriculars has made it difficult to remember some of the most important things in life.…
A young African American boy from a small town named Ashburnham. I have come a long way from my childhood going into college. When i was young boy i remember how irresponsible i was.

This world is so diverse as all people have their own story, that is composed of their own life. I personally think it is so amazing that we are all able to connect in different ways, no matter what our story is. As I am just heading into adulthood, with so much life ahead of me, yet I have experienced so much that has made me who I am. At seventeen, approaching eighteen many young individuals have backgrounds and identities that make us who we are. For me, one thing in particular has truly made me who I am.…

Hard Work Pays Off It all begins when you step on your fears and defeat your obstacles. About four years ago, my family and I realized how difficult it was to get a valuable and affordable education and a better quality lifestyle in our home country of Mexico. Throughout my childhood, I only got to see my father for a few days every year during the holidays because he lived in the United States in order to make more money to send to Mexico. I am proud and thankful of my parents because they worked day and night to have enough money for us to eat and pay for our school needs.…
Over the years of my high school life I was never sure about many decisions I make. However, I’ve grown and learned to continue on a path that’s going to lead me somewhere I feel safe, empowered and successful. Going to college is something I’m sure about, but it’s hard to choose the best college that’s right for me. NYU is a university that I’ve always wanted to attend, ever since I started searching for colleges online. New York University is one of the well known college for visual and performing arts.…
When people say, "What do you do on your free time. " I would reply to them saying, "Lots of things but mostly engaging with many sports." Like many student-athletes in this world, I have a spark. A spark that motivates them every day. The spark that makes you get up in the morning and you are looking to be attending it.…
I wasn't really social in high school. But that doesn’t mean that I shut myself down from people. I had my little group of friend that I would talk to, hang out with, and laugh all day. Things had to change when I noticed my grades were starting to drop. I really just had to come up with a way to keep things at a 60/40 pace.…
I am no stranger to the struggles that my family has faced to give me the opportunities I have now. Growing up working hard was something of a second nature to me; there was no goal in mind but trying my best. I now see how my diligent work can be paid off and I am willing to put in my all if it means a brighter future. College will not only give me the chance to prove to myself that no obstacle in life is unconquerable but to also provide a secure future for me and my family. As the oldest child, I am the one that paves a path for my sibling.…
Throughout our short lives, we are tested with various challenges. Some of us prevail over them and move on, while others must endure them day after day. It is unfortunate that not all of us are blessed with perfect lives filled with grandeur, but if everyone lived a life without obstacles, we would forget what it meant to be human. We would forget how to use our skills to their fullest potential. Because it’s not the challenges in life that make us who we are, rather what we do to overcome them.…
“I will like America, and I will have fun in the U.S.” I said to my parents when I had decided to America in 2013. I was seventeen years old that year, and I did not study very well in my high school. I even could not go to university in China. So my parents sent me to America. Studying in America is really an important turning point in my life, and I learned a lot in the U.S. I knew that if I can overcome all the difficults, I will have a good result.…
