4. What do you feel is your most significant accomplishment? My most significant accomplishment is stepping out of my comfort zone freshman year and joining the Forensics team.

I have competed at state twice and been told by multiple people I always look happy and engaged watching other people's pieces. I am competing at state for my last time in March and have such an appreciation for everyone who has helped me the past three years. …show more content…

    Nothing seemed to be a challenge. I found it easy to accomplish things. I got this false sense of reality, that you didn’t have to work that hard to be successful. I entered into high school overconfident and unprepared. And I was hit with the reality that it took more effort than I cared to put in to get good grades. When I was really motivated and interested I did well. At the same time my family was dealing with serious health issues with my mother. The proud, caring, loving, and nurturing mother I knew started to fade away. Since there is no diagnosis from my mom, she is seriously ill with a life-threatening condition, I have no idea what my future holds. This motivates me know even further to take advantages of what life has, and push my limits towards success.…

    Throughout my life I have been faced with many different challenges that has helped me become the person that I am today. My life started out pretty simple.

Then my brother was born, my mom and dad separated, and I started getting into trouble in school, at home and eventually with the law. At this point in my life, I grew up fast and started forming the person that I have become based on my elders and other influential people I was surrounded by.…

    Obstacles and hardships are what shape a person. One of my many obstacles I had to face was getting use to my freshman year in high school. Due to me going to an Early college my freshman experience may have been a little different. Transitioning was one of the most difficult parts of the whole experience due to me not being able to really grasp what I had gotten myself into. My teachers were very firm in conducting their teaching strategies. I can recall a moment in time where I had turned in one of my first papers for my English class I was so excited for her to read it because I had worked all night on it trying to perfect it. A couple days passed and I got the paper back it was so many read marks on it if I didn't know any better I would…

    The first would be my administrative tasks as a Resident Assistant. I consistently turned in papers, forms, and completed task on time or before the deadline. This also included emailing and updating my supervisor about any resident conflicts or situations that occurred. I feel that this is an accomplishment because I was able to keep the line of communication open to my supervisor and ensured that all information was given in a timely manner. Another accomplishment I achieved over the past semester was being flexible to my other Resident Assistants. There were many times when last minute another Resident Assistant needed to switch duty days or had an emergency situation and I was able to cover for them. For example, during the semester one Resident Assistant needed to go to the hospital last minute and needed someone to cover. Despite it being last minute and on a Friday night, I was able to take the duty day. This is an accomplishment because I felt like I was a vital member of the team and that people could rely on me to step up to the plate when need…

    An athletic challenge I had to overcome in life; breaking my ankle my freshman year of volleyball season. Our volleyball season was going really good. We got a new coach and was rolling. Unfortunately at one of our practice, before the regional tournament, I was hitting and came down and landed on a foot. I knew as soon as I landed it was broke it. The reason this presents a challenge for me, is because I hate to let my teammates down, and this to me felt like a huge let down. I knew the only way I could get through this challenge was to pray. God is the only one who knew why this had to happen to me. The results of this athletic challenge was for myself to realize that stuff happens to everyone, sometimes it being you, so pray and thank God…

    The most significant challenge i have faced and slowly starting to overcome is my hearing loss. I have known about my hearing loss for quite a while now but it is still something i am not comfortable with. I have failed to educate people about my hearing loss because i have learned people don't take it as serious and think of it as a joke rather than understanding that it is not something easy to come forward about. People like to say things like “can you hear me” and sometimes like to gather attention by shouting and think it is funny . I refused to wear hearing aids growing up because the society we live in today is all about judging people . I overcame that challenge by not being scared or embarrassed and wearing the hearing aids so i can have a better education. I have slowly started to get over this challenge by not caring about people's opinions so much. I have found that hearing loss is nothing to be ashamed of. It is actually pretty common. It is definitely a challenge but nothing is fun without a challenge.…

    My definition of a challenge is a situation that one has to overcome to succeed. They are a task that people have to face every day in order to achieve something greater in life, or even just to get through the day. Through challenges, one is shown his/her strength and capability depending on how one had dealt with the situation. The challenges I’ve faced in my life so far are centered around school and the stress that has been put upon me considering that I’m a senior trying to juggle three AP classes, being an officer of two clubs, spending time with family and friends, and most importantly: completing my college applications. I came face to face with my challenge my junior year after I took my first SAT.…
