I’ve always been interested in the actions and decisions humans take, but mainly in why they do. Being a freshman in high school, I have set my main goal in life, and that is to one day be a Behavior Analyst. A behavior analyst is a licensed person that studies the different types of behavior that humans deal with . In other words, the human brain is an extremely complex that not everything in itself hasn’t been discovered. Ever since I was a little girl I have set my mind that I want to be a…

middle school was mid october. I remember my mom couldn't make it so i was stuck with my aunt. I was always used to either having 1 teacher or four, but know i had 8 classes in many different places. I had a good schedule. I had writing, reading, gym, AVID, lunch, history, science math, and yearbook. Middle school was a big transition for me and it’s very nerve-wracking. I asked a teacher where i would go for my classes, she explained how everything works. I headed to my first classes, it…

High school for me is very different then the college life that I have experienced so far. In high school there is so much judgement by the things you wear, who you talk to, and the things you do. But in college no one really cares there isn’t time to judge people it doesn’t matter to them. High school could be super brutal to some people because they don’t fit in they aren’t the typical student and others make sure that they know it. I feel that in college there is so many different types of…

So as a junior, I planned to become her again. Meeting new people, I cared more about what was happening at school, Art Club was not a thing anymore so I joined…

I have been taking AVID for the past 3 years in order to reach my goal of attending a four year university. I am taking courses that will prepare me for college and my job, such as Pre-Ap english. In Pre-Ap English I have to carefully analyze the text and the directions, or else I will get a bad grade. This class will be immensely helpful, because I will have experience with being very diligent. Diligence is important in the Criminal Justice Department, because you are reading through important…

As I look back to my high school days, all I could ever think about was getting my diploma and moving on to college. Frankly, I just wanted to graduate because I was growing tired of the same old stuff in school. I didn’t really know what I was getting into, thinking that I was ready for college while being blind-sided by the amount of obstacles that I came to face. Now realizing the amount of responsibility that I have to accept, my situation of being a first-generation college student and my…

By joining Mighty Writers’ Teen Scholars Program, I hope to achieve multiple goals. The first goal I hope to achieve is to sufficiently prepare for college. My second goal is to become a more avid reader and better writer. That includes improving my writing and analytical skills. Furthermore, I also hope to improve my communication skills and be less hesitant to speak up about my opinions. These are multiple goals I hope to achieve by joining the Teen Scholars Program. The goals I hope to…

However, I realized that AVID was the best route for me since both of my parents did not attend college and do not comprehend the school system either. My parents are from a completely different world and I am also the oldest child, therefore, college seems like quite a stretch, but now after 5 years of “advancement through my own determination” and with the help of AVID, I am now sure college is for me I may no longer have the desire to be lawyer…
