The most significant impact I have made at my high school has been through helping my fellow peers, generally through unofficially tutoring some of them. I do not think there is one instance that stands out more than the others because I always attempt to do something little everyday, be it explaining a broad concept or assisting another student in working through a problem on a review sheet. The most recent example was when one of my friends in my AP Statistics class, Shannon, sent me a text the night before a test, asking if I could help her understand some of the questions on the review sheet, which I responded to with, “I shall try my best”.

    My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have.

This was something that I has been striving to do since my freshman year after I received my first academic letter. But after our school decided to only allow seniors to be inducted, raised the GPA requirement, and reduced the amount of people that would be allowed to be inducted I wasn’t sure if my goal would still be attainable. But after three years of strenuous classes, constant volunteer service, and keeping my grades up I finally received an acceptance letter and was inducted into NHS where I am able to surround myself with others that have the same academic goals as…
