My High School Years

Improved Essays
My high school years consisted of close minded individuals who judged people based on how they dressed and belittled other races struggles. Growing up and never being part of the majority, I was taught to acknowledge the fact that everyone 's self struggles are just as important as mine. I am an egalitarian that believe everyone should be treated equally regardless of their race, complexion, beliefs and so forth. I’m the type of person that lives by the golden rule: treat others the way you’d like to be treated. I believe there is always room for change and for people to better themselves and the world around them. My parents also taught me to be the bigger person in situations that I was passionate about.

During my high school years, I came to the realization that I’m very indecisive and I believe I will end up what I am destined to do in life one way or another.After I leave Beloit I plan to pursue my Masters and higher education in order for me to have the means to give back to my community, Beloit, my family, coaches and friends for their continuous love and support. Although I am not certain what I want to major in, I know for a fact that I want to help others whether it is by donating food to a local food pantry to going around the world and giving free medical attention to people in developing countries. My ultimate plan in life is to give my life meaning and stop trying to figure it out. I never pictured myself going to Beloit or being part of a squash team and being happy where I decided to go for college. My life is no where close to what I thought it would be ten years ago. I plan on helping children turn their life around and help them see what the world really is. I want to transition myself into a individual that is not in her high school bubble and learns to speak up more in class and in public. I want to become a role model for the younger generation and someone that the older generation would respect by setting the bar higher for the next generation. I want to be able to pay back my parents by giving them a higher education diploma and bragging rights because without them I would not be who I am or where I am today. I will never be able to pay them back for their love, support, acceptance for who I am and what I stand for,while also pushing me to do better while being right behind me during every twist, turn and loop life decides to throw my way. I hope to make my parents, my siblings, myself and the rest of my family and my own family proud of

We were about a mile from our cabin, at the end of Christopher Creek before it went under the road. As a junior counselor, I probably went way out of my jurisdiction in taking my four campers on such a long trip down the creek, but their enjoyment was worth the potential trouble. I couldn’t believe it; none of them had ever taken a trip down a creek.…
