Personal Narrative: My High School Grade Point Average

Improved Essays
Currently, my high school grade point average (GPA) is a 3.6 unweighted and 4.5 weighted. In my college courses, my GPA is 4.0. I am extremely proud of this number, but I wish that I had the motivation and work ethic that I have now during my freshman year. If my motivation and work ethic changed during my freshman year, I would have a higher GPA today. For the spring semester, my midterm exams are in March. I am not very concerned about any of my classes and their midterms. I will check the syllabus for each of my classes to find the exact date. I have been accepted to Lenoir–Rhyne University, a small private college in North Carolina. I do not plan to attend this university . I also applied to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University, but I have not received any information from the admissions department. I am waiting for thei admission decision by Fayetteville State University. At any college that I plan to attend, I will stay on campus because there are benefits to staying on campus: more involvement in college life, meeting new people, and less commuting. …show more content…
At many high schools, the senior project is a graduation requirement because these schools want their seniors to graduate with an understanding of either the world or society. We have our senior project because the school administrators/ the committee wants the senior class to graduate with an idea of what is happening in other countries around the world. The penalty for not completing the senior project or presentation is that the student will receive only one ticket for graduation. My honest opinion of the Senior Project is that it is a very long project and has too many assignments. I found it difficult to manage my college schedule and other activities with this project. My senior year would be easier if I did not have to do the Senior

    Looking back on it, on how I got to where I am. I don't know how i did it, when you run into something ,with the power to knock you down- you get back up! I've considered myself a sort of mellow guy, but I can be very intense. It's funny because you can't tell by looking at me. Most people say they can't read me, but I think i am a fairly simple guy.…

    "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…

    Not only do the projects better the community around them, they also build up each of the members teamwork capabilities, and enhance their leadership qualities. They go out of their way to challenge themselves, and grow to be the best they can be. I found ways to challenge myself as well. Not only do I strive for academic perfection, but I aim to grow as much as possible, especially in my favorite class, math. At the beginning of this school year, I continued on with the required course and took on an additional math class to help further my knowledge in this field.…

I believe that hardest thing for me is finish things it could be simple or difficult but for whatever reason I don’t finish well. Now that I am in college I can look back and say I should have been in school a long time ago.…

    Obstacles I also had to overcome were with the inner feelings I overcame from situations put in my life. Feelings that gave me lack of motivation and kept me from giving the attention this senior project deserved. Looking back on those situations, I wish they guided me to do better and use them as a motivation. All the time and energy that didn’t go into this project until last minute caused me re-evaluate me as a student and person. As a student I realized bad habits I’ve possessed for so long need to change for me to be successful in the upcoming future.…

    High school changes people. They express themselves, become opinionated, and they start to look at the world differently as they experience things they have never encountered before. A wise Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” This quote is an excellent way to describe my experience in high school.…

So I had decided to try out for the basketball team.…
