First grade

I chose this song, because it says he fell down in a hole, but someone was there to pick him up. This was my year. I had some ups and downs through my 8th grade year, but there were three ways that helped me go through the downs and all the way through the ups. Swimming, friends and family all helped me up through hard times in my 8th grade life. My friends helped make my life better. They help me smile. I was having a rough day, but my friends helped me look up and smile. “And I needed a…

and how quickly I improved. By the time I reached middle school, I began to identify myself as a jock. I played for the school basketball team and spent almost every day practicing. Sometime around sixth grade, I had to do a project about my heritage and from that point on I became very interested in my own culture. I am half Mexican and half European which creates a very interesting mix of cultures. My mom’s family came from France, Scotland and Germany and settled in Mississippi, Tennessee…

travel ball. It was very tiring so when 7th grade came around and I had the chance to try out for volleyball I took it. Turned out I loved it and I wasn’t too bad at it.

By the time my 8th grade year came around I had become one…

Perhaps the single most valuable lesson I have learned in my years from high school until now is the merit of surrounding myself with people whom I share common principles. This lesson has dominated the choices I’ve made, mainly in regards to the schools I have attended and the different groups I have decided to partake in. Growing up, I would always hear the saying ‘show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.’ But how precise is that statement? The ambiguity in my sentiments towards…

I would have tried to formulate a different perspective on how I viewed topics and would have became more serious about my educational future. When I was in middle school, I lacked determination and self-discipline. During my 9th grade year, I began to comprehend the idea of critical thinking and the traits I needed to be successful later on in life. Also , I realized that I needed to change and develop better habits, and that if I would have possessed my current mindset at a younger…

I have always had an attitude of a leader. In sixth grade I was apart of student council up until 7th grade. Towards the end of my seventh grade year I applied to be in NJHS or National Junior Honor Society and in May I was inducted. I ran to be Vice President of my NJHS and throughout my eighth grade year I served my class as their VP. All throughout middle school I enjoyed being in the position to lead others and to be an example. As a result of my newly found passion, I decided to apply for…
