Bo Jackson said, “Set your goals high, and don’t stop until you get there.” (“Life hack Quotes”). My families always talk about my future and how it is essential to set your goals.

My most meaningful accomplishment is the work I have done during my AmeriCorps Service year volunteering at a New York City Charter School.

Although I did not have a defined idea of what I wanted to do in life, I always wanted to help people.…

My greatest accomplishment is my graduation. Growing up was hard because of my lack of attention due to ADHD. The school curriculum wasn’t the best, causing me to learn at a decreased rate. The teachers did not care about the students, leaving hiccups in the source material that we were learning. The teachers had bad attitudes toward the school board which also ended up in the teachers becoming lazy, boring, and not compelling enough for the students.…
Moving from high school to college was a big transition. My hopes and goals was to do great in all my classes to achieve a wonderful semester.
