My parents weren’t able to get the education they wanted and as a typical any asian household they’re a manicurists as a living. My mom and dad wanted me to have a better education to be successful in the future. I have weaknesses in every subject, because no one is perfect and if i had to choose; science would be my stronger subjects. Whenever I attended at my high school, took a lot of science classes and my favorite class was Anatomy and Physiology. I graduated at Southside High School being the last mascot before it was removed and replaced with …show more content…
I’m a shy girl who’s up for a little challenge or anything new to give a shot. My friends don’t believe I’m a helpful person and they’re right but I honestly do. I always help an individual if they had drop items on the ground, I can’t just be a person that passes by and stares. One of my favorite clubs i’ve joined for the past three years in high school is Habitat for Humanity. It involves being outside which I enjoy whereas we build houses from scratch and also help families who needs a roof over their heads. It takes awhile to complete and I absolutely despite waiting, but worth it towards the end whenever it comes together.

My expectations raises concerns and decency for myself. I don’t want anything that could possibly bring me down if I had put my expectations too high. High school and college are two complete different things and I honestly agree. I’m finally an adult making my own decisions. Back in high school I was lazy and on rare occasions didn’t take a few subjects seriously, but now being in college is whole different story.

    Glenda Farrell was born in Enid, Oklahoma on June 30, 1901 (as confirmed by both the 1910 and 1920 censuses, and later by the Social Security Administration when she was issued SSN 573-03-9877). However, her date of birth is almost always listed as June 30, 1904, because like many actresses of her time, she shaved a few years off of her real age. Her parents were Charles Farrell, a horse and dog trader of Irish and Cherokee descent, and Wilhemina Farrell, who was of Alsatian (French/German) descent. Wilhemina must have once had aspirations of acting, because she knew from the beginning that she wanted her daughter to be an actress. When Glenda was still very young, the Farrells moved to Wichita, Kansas, where she made her stage debut as Little Eva in Uncle Tom’s Cabin and received a formal education at the Mount Carmel Catholic Academy. The family later moved to San Diego, California. There, she joined the Virginia Brissac Stock Company.…

    “Teely, because I’m so interested in seeing you apply with your Eagle Vision Application…” Central University. “An exclusive invitation from UNCP..” UNC Pembroke. “Mai-Teelee, you’ll want to read this.” Western Carolina. All these colleges and universities showed interest in me by reaching out through emails and letters in the mail but, it wasn’t them whom I was interested in. It was you, UNC Chapel Hill. The first time I heard about you was back in my sophomore year, in AP Environmental Science by a group of classmates who had visited the campus. At that time, I didn’t care that much for colleges. I was still worried about joining clubs and trying to make more friends and just, have fun. Like any other teenager. However, I became intrigued. Just what was it that made this school so well known and liked? Once I decided that I would aim for the medical field, my friends suggested, of course, Chapel Hill. You. They said “It’s a great medical school and you’ll get in easily because you’re Asian.” And being naive, I believed them. I didn’t quite realize just how high your expectations were. But it wouldn’t be too difficult I assumed…

    Since I was a kid I’ve noticed my home town of Pomona, CA had areas that were roughed up. Whenever I passed through main streets like Holt Avenue I could see sidewalks filled with homeless people & damaged property. Seeing my city in bad shape sparked something in me & I knew I wanted help better the city & give back to it but wasn’t really sure how to contribute up until high school. Sophomore year in high school I joined Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, MEChA, I was introduced into this club by a friend that was actively involved in it. MEChA’s main focus in the community was to help the Spanish speaking people within the community that were in need of help in school.

    All throughout school I have participated in many clubs and organizations that have not only molded me as a person, but have helped me to develop responsibility, and leadership skills. Currently I am an active member of National Honor Society, and DECA. Both of these organizations, provided by my high school, encourage leadership, volunteer work, and have high expectations for behavior, and grades. Being in National Honor Society has shown me to continually do for others in need. There are always opportunities to get involved with the community, and even create drives for things like stuffed animals, and blankets for children who are sick in the hospital, and “Care Catties” for cancer patients, which include tissues, water bottles, hard candy, and lotion. DECA is another organization I am involved in at Frenship High School. DECA is a business organization for high school marketing students looking to learn, develop and compete in a competitive event.

    The value I place on being successful in college is 9. My expectation of being a success in college is probably a 7 right now. Multiplied together, this gives me an achievement motivation score of 63. I want to be successful because I feel college is really the only significant next step towards bringing me to where I want to be. Unfortunately I rated my expectation of success so low because I lack the self-confidence to feel like I will be able to make it happen. I’ve failed so many times in the past and I fear that I…

    Parenting: a Balancing Act

    “You’re not doing well enough!” Just how many times have children heard this from their parents? After all, parents do expect their children to do well in life, but sometimes those expectations could place too much of a burden on their children. Most parents worry about the “Big C”, college, which is shown through many of their expectations on their child’s academics, extra-curriculum’s, and sometimes future careers. A study in 2007 by the Childs Trend Databank shows that 69.7% parents expected their children from 6th to 12th grade to receive a Bachelor’s degree or higher. Easier said than done right? Of course, the parent might fill their child’s schedule with dozens of E.C’s and A.P classes to make them stand out in the college applications, but that does not mean they will automatically get into any university or college. Like in the article, “Taming the Overachieving Monster”, the composer, Callie Schweitzer, writes: “Does being class president, captain of the track team, and sole organizer of the school's clothing drive add up to a top college acceptance? No. All it guarantees is stress.” Parenting requires balance between high and low expectations, a task not to be taken lightly. Thus, parents need to learn how to limit their own expectations of their children due to the stress it causes on them.…

    Hi, my name is Braden Spangle. I was born in Spokane at deaconess medical center on July 23rd in 1998. My parents are Dustin Spangle and Jodi Griggs. My step parents are Drew Griggs and Dawn Spangle. I have three siblings, my one year old sister Gleason, my brother Grady who is 10, and my step-brother Josh who is 7. My parents got divorced when I was nine. I play two sports at Mt. Spokane, I play basketball and baseball. During the fall I race motocross and I am currently sponsored. I also like to go snowboarding and snowmobiling at Mt. Spokane. In the summer time I wakeboard, tube, and fish at my lake cabins. An interesting fact about me is when I was little I fell off the back of my boat and landed on the prop back first and it cut me open and I still have little scars. In the middle of the summer 2013 I was jet skiing going pretty fast and I slowed the jet-ski down and a boat went really close behind me. While I turned around I noticed a separate jet ski was coming at the huge wave the boat made to jump it. As I tried to take off I was crushed by a jet ski and fell in the water. A nearby boat had to pick me up. As I was in the water freaking out the boat asked for my Dads number. I gave it to him but seconds later I went in to shock until I got to the hospital. That day was pain, ivy’s and air masks in me and on me. The rest of the next month was terrible and still to this day my back hurts. English has been alright for me if I stay concentrated. I got a B last year and I did alright. Some goals that I have set are; getting an A, no missing assignments, and to study for tests. I would eventually really want to go to college somewhere and become a cop or a fireman.…
