My Academic And Life Goals

Improved Essays
Each year, Gonzaga receives hundreds of applications. In those applications, I’m sure you’ve read about students who are athletic, enthusiastic, energetic, interactive with their teachers, love learning outside the classroom, or who are students who speak many languages. I strive to be a combination of all these things, and more. I am a student that excels both inside and outside the classroom. I believe that through my educational journey, I will learn what is necessary for me to accomplish my academic and life goals. My curiosity and eagerness to learn, along with the way I take pride in my work, makes me stand out from the rest. In my opinion learning is a process that takes place everywhere, and one that I thoroughly enjoy.

I have been with the same class for four years now, and I love them as a family. At most middle schools, or even high schools, there are certain circles of friends, and even though I may not be a part of every group, I still strive to be friends with anybody and everybody from all groups. As a result, I know if I ever have trouble with something, any one of my classmates would be glad to come and help me. I would be honored to do the same things with my classmates at Gonzaga and I would love to bond with the teachers just as well as the students as I did at Holy Trinity. As well as trying my best in school, I also am friendly, charismatic, and strive to be friends with everyone. I am also able to get along with everyone, seek the value in every friendship, and want to maintain them.
As a student, my job is to work hard and do the best I can. In seventh grade, all my hard work paid off when I got five teacher awards. A teacher award is for the student that has worked the hardest, has given the best effort, and made the biggest improvement in their grade. After winning five of these awards in Science, Math, Religion, Physical Education, and English, I was motivated to continue excelling in class. This made me feel like I stood out because I may have not been the smartest in the class, but I showed that I pushed myself more than anybody in the
