my colleagues that chose to take the easy way out of high school. The academic achievements I am most proud of is being inducted into my school’s chapter of the National Honors Society and the Spanish National Honors Society. To be able to be a part of such prestigious groups I had to hold a very high weighted GPA in both areas and had to be involved in school activities. An outside of school academic achievement I am most boastful about is being a part of the National Society of High School Scholars. This organization is membered by the top academic achievers from high schools around the world. My memberships in all the academic groups I attend only lead me in the right path to achieve my goal in changing lives.
My involvement in my extracurricular activities have also played a major role in helping me achieve my goal.
My participation in Student Government has taught me important leadership skills I will be able to carry with me throughout, not only my college career, but my nursing career. Sports has taught me that hard work, discipline, and teamwork will not only defeat any obstacle that comes my way, but with the help and encouragement of others, we can come together as one and get the job done. My extracurricular activities have taught me that with the aid of others anything is possible. Through my community service volunteering at a local housing company for the mentally disabled, I have seen first-hand what the impact one person can make on another’s life. Helping and mentoring the mentally disabled who can’t do some tasks on their own has touched my heart and changed the way I appreciate life in many different aspects. It just reminds me of how fortunate I am to be able to help other, despite the time it takes to do so. The overall time I have sacrificed to do these extracurricular activities inside and outside of school has all been well worth it. Overall, the life lessons I have learned and the change in character I have gained from these activities are gifts I will be able to carry with me in able to achieve my goal.
In conclusion, I believe my involvement in numerous academic and extracurricular activities displays my intelligence on different subjects across the board and
my character of being sociable, helpful, and a leader to my community and colleagues. I believe all these aspects are going to help me in achieving my goal by making a difference in the near future.
