When presented with stressful situations, I evaluate my surroundings and make decisions regarding my course of action based on priority.
2. When managing my time, I first calculate the timeframe that I have in which to complete my tasks, then prioritize them based on urgency.
3. I believe that the adjective that best describes me is "creative." I introduce different methods of completing certain tasks and enjoy experimentation with recipes and art projects.
4. The most challenging academic course that I have taken was my freshman year gym class. I was a weak athlete in comparison with my classmates and I felt frustration, anger, and disappointment in myself.

There are several points that justify the Indiana Academy as an appropriate educational opportunity for me, the first being convenience of location. The Academy is only a short distance from my home and attending school on the Ball State University campus will aid me in the memorization of its layout. I plan to apply there and it will be a tremendous advantage for me to know the location of its buildings prior to attendance. Secondly, I believe that I will be inclined toward more social interaction at the Academy. The class sizes described will offer me a substantially greater chance of participation than my current high school does, I will not be intimidated by an overly large student body, and when placed in more intimate groups I often flourish. Additionally, attending a school to which I have been accepted based on academic potential will endow me with a sense of community that I cannot find in my current school. Thirdly, if I am accepted, it will push me to pour even more of myself into my studies. The ranking of the Academy and its high standards will motivate me to push myself to uphold its reputation and prove that I have earned my place there. Fourthly, attendance promises to be a healthy choice for the mental/emotional well being of any student. The lesser amount of class meetings per week will lighten my stress load, stand as an excellent motivation to avoid absences, and will grant me much more time at home to assist my mother with the house and tend to my independent projects, which are calming and relaxing to engage in. The intimacy of a small classroom will cause me less anxiety, and attending a new school will give me an opportunity to make new friends and expand my social circle. And I anticipate a student body whose maturity level is higher than that of my current peers. I would adore an educational setting in which the behavior of those around me is not comparable to elementary school students
