MY ESSAY
High school time will always be my favourite period of time. Recalling about that makes me somehow miss being a high school student. I believe I have always been a productive student inside as well as outside of the classroom. I have always tried my best to succeed in all the classes I attended. I have always been eager to share my ideas into any discussion so I could gain experiences from others' points of views. Outside the classroom, I was a member of many clubs, associations, and activities. One major activity I was apart in high school that I have always been proud of was Student Representative Council. Being the Head of Student Representative Council has given me a chance to express myself, to "break out of my shell". I am still very proud of what I have done for my school, as well as for myself. I have organized many activities for the school, from social charities to school's events, parties. I have identified and overcome problems, recognized and eliminated misunderstandings in the council because I have known that I was a leader, I was someone who had been trusted to bring other students worthy times spending in high school and these were my objectives, my job, my mission. Even though, 2 years ago, when I was in grade 10, I found it quite difficult to balance my school work with Student Representative Council's work but everything happened that year absolutely has taught me countless valuable experiences, such as problem solving skills, patience, leadership, time and project management, and team working. However, I still had to ensure that I was not allowed to fall behind in my schoolwork. As a result, I did achieve ok grades for my IGCSE examinations - Grade C and above.
It is not very hard to imagine myself attending in Penn State afte-r finishing high school. Thanks to modern technology, I can find out clear information about this excellent university, which is 8939 miles away from where I do the research. In facet, I have a great feeling that Penn State is where I am meant to be, where my gained experiences are my weapons to be a successful student, where I am a productive student who knows how balance time and energy for both study and social activities, just like what I've done in my high school time.
