Throughout high school I learned things like the quadratic formula, the parts of the human body, and the spent countless hours memorizing French vocab. However, the most important I learned was through hard work and dedication anything is possible.
Academics have always have always been something I've had to work at. My first year of high school I found myself easily distracted and my grades suffered, but Throughout high school, I've learned how manage my time and to study to achieve the grades I wanted. Through my hard work, I brought my grades up and this past cross country season, I received highest varsity GPA award as well as the scholar athlete award. Because of the troubles I've had learning how to balance my social and student life, im positive i am prepared to excel academically.
Beyond school, helping people has always been my passion. Growing up, my parents encouraged me to use my many gifts to benefit others and be an active member of my community. Enrolling, and excelling, in many extra-curricular programs such as Teen Institute and my church youth group have given me many opportunities to improve my school as well as help the community. Throughout my life, I've been blessed with the opportunity to help at a variety of organizations such as City Mission, Angle Tree, and my church run Bible School. Recently, I enjoyed volunteering at the Haven of Rest making beds, cleaning windows, and mopping floors. Due to the opportunities given to me, and the lessons I have learned throughout my life, I am confident in saying that I am well-adapted and prepared to succeed and be involved in the University of Cincinnati community.
*please provide constructive criticism. comments on strong points and weak points and what i can change to improve my essay will be greatly appreciated.
