At the age of eighteen, I obtained two things that changed my life forever; my Texas Real Estate License, and my Eagle Scout Rank. Both shape the hard working person that I am today. Also in high school, I obtained the college board AP Scholar Award, became fluent in American Sign Language as a member of an ASL honor society, and was a Champions School of Business Etiquette Graduate.

In college; I continued scouting as part of a venturing crew, Mastered my study skills and obtained a 4.0 GPA with 33 credit hours, and joined many clubs in which I volunteered countless hours.

This summer; I have started taking classes to become fluent in Chinese, interned with a real estate broker, and volunteered my time by staffing as a scuba instructor

    Statement Of Purpose: North Carolina FFA

    Although my high school years are mostly defined through academic success, I would have to say my most meaningful achievements came through the North Carolina FFA.

    Culver's Greatest Accomplishments

    The one accomplishment that marked my transition from being a child into becoming an adult would have to be when I got my first job at Culver’s. This accomplishment was a major milestone in my life which lead to many other great things to follow it. After applying to many different places I finally got a call back from Culver’s saying that they would like to have me come in to have an interview with me. At first I was a nervous wreck, but with the help of some really good friends with some good tips on how to dress, talk, and answer some of their tougher questions.

    Frostburg State University Research Paper

    I would first like to thank Frostburg State University for accepting me in their institution and giving me the chance to further my education after my high school scholar years. I have enjoyed my time at Frostburg State University and with hard work I have been able to make the dean’s list and be accepted in the Honors program during the first semester of my freshman year. I hope to continue to work even harder during the second semester and throughout my school career. As a small university, Frostburg has enabled me to benefit from many things, such as the small size classes. Now that I have gotten used to college and life on campus, I believe it is time to continue to push myself to work harder and to attend an institution where I could be academically challenged and can be surrounded by many people who share my profession.…
