Throughout my learning career the experiences I’ve had in my academics and extra-curricular activities
helped me develop certain characteristics that will aid in achieving my lifetime goals. Academically I have
taken the most rigorous classes my school offered which were the Pre-AP/AP classes all four years of my high
school career. These classes I feel will give me the skillset to achieve more in college and in life because these
classes strive to teach work ethic and require time management. Extra- curricular activities I am involved with

The ROTC program prepared me with skills to interact with my peers and I strengthened my leadership
ability in this program by holding the position of sergeant. The position has given me insight on what it’s like a
leader of a group of people and can aid me in my lifetime goals.
The Pre-AP and AP courses I have taken in high school were challenging and rigorous and really tested
my time management and taught me to prioritize my assignments to complete them on time. Although
throughout my first three years in high school I didn’t put forth one hundred percent effort in my school work,
and my grades reflected that, I learned that procrastinating and falling behind in anything will be challenging to
