Personal Narrative: My Life At Catherine Hall
My Life at Catherine Hall:
When I came to this school, I was in the fifth grade. At first, I didn't like it at all. I got in trouble to much, and that was the main reason I didn't like it here. Through fifth grade I was not a good student, had bad grades, and had too many levels to count. By sixth grade, I was starting to mature and wasn't getting bad grades as often, but I was still getting in trouble. By seventh grade, I was getting good grades and barely got into trouble. I think the main reason for that is because of my teacher Mr. Finley. In my eighth grade year, I was what some people would call a perfect student. At least in the beginning of the year, that is. By the halfway point of the year, I was getting into trouble again and my

For my freshman year, I had the help of my brother, but by tenth grade, he graduated from MHS and went to college. My sister helped me out to, but not as much, because she got in even more trouble than I did. She lost her freshman scholarship. Once I was in tenth grade, I was doing okay. My grades were good, but I didn't get effort and conduct or honor roll. By eleventh grade, I was a perfect student. Well… not so perfect. I didn't get effort can conduct or honor roll, but was very close. As a senior, I got no levels and only missed honor roll by a point. Effort and conduct, I also missed by only a point. My graduation was a lot of fun, and I got my ring, which says “Class of 2021” on it in actual gold!

Life at the International Culinary School:
My college years were tough, but fun. I got excellent grades, and didn't fail one quiz., because our quizzes were cooking, and I love cooking! I didn't have any debt, thanks to MHS. My overall tuition was 70,384$, so I didn't have debt. I lived at home and worked at Panera Bread. I didn't have to do much anything else but math and cooking. I got an internship at the hershey lodge, but turned it down because I wanted to work in philadelphia. If I could redo my college years, I would do the same thing over again because my experience was great.

Apparently, there was a college party that night, we had a lot of college women doing last minute shopping for attention seeking outfits.

    When I began my senior year of high school, I was tired and unmotivated and chose to give up and not put my full effort into all my school work. I was so excited, my last year of high school. I was always told since I was a freshman that your junior year would be the hardest and the most important because those are the grades that colleges will mostly be looking at and that your senior year would be the easiest because you're mostly taking electives and you only need to focus on you main courses such as economics and english to graduate. When I started school this year I put off all my homework till last minute, I was absent more than usual, my work was sloppy, and I wasn't really participating. I kept thinking that all I need is a 65 in…

    Ever since my freshman year of high school, I’ve wanted to be a member of the National Honors Society. Being a part of the National Honors Society meant that I would have done well in both my studies and contributing time in my community. In order to reach my goal, I took multiple honors and AP classes to enhance my knowledge. These classes were indeed rigorous and there were many occurrences where I stayed up late doing homework or studying. During these times I felt like giving up, but the passion I had for conquering my goal burnt too brightly. The hard work I’ve placed on my studies has certainly paid off because now I’m at the top 5% in my class with a 3.8 GPA. Also throughout I’ve helped my community in multiple ways such as volunteering…

    I learned that many of my professors were there to help me if I needed, I was just too prideful to let them know I was struggling in every which way. Even though my beginning GPA is not the best of my ability, I tried my hardest my last two senior years. My advisor noticed that I was much more confident and dedicated in making myself better. For myself, I would not count on letting my GPA define me. I pushed myself on finishing off strong, setting goals to make dean’s list my last year and I did it. If I had not faced those struggles, I would not be the student/person I am…

    All throughout school I strived to be a great student, always trying my best and never giving up. I didn’t really have any life changing moments that shaped me into who I am today that is, until freshman year. That year everything changed for me I was faced with challenges I never had to face before. My brother and I are three in a half years apart and he went to Horizon High School for his freshman and sophomore year. He was a troublemaker to say the least didn’t have the best reputation so all the teachers there thought that I was just like him. When I started there no one really knew my name and then once they saw my last name they started to be rude to me and say rude things to me. Even when I did good on work I still got a bad grade just because the…

    Some of the things that I wish that I had never done would have to be, that I wish I wouldn’t have messed around my freshman and sophomore year because all it did was cause me more homework and stress because I was taking classes over that I had already did the work in, trust me it’s defiantly no fun being a senior taking freshman and sophomore classes.…

    Growing up in New York City has been one of my biggest blessing. I’ve met with so many different personalities and cultures that I feel more well rounded by default. One thing that I’ve always found lacking in the city is the presence of small stable communities. My elementary school had 800 kids and my high school has over 5000 kids. Barnard offers the best of both worlds for meーa small college community situated in the best city in the world.…

    There are several goals I have set for myself in college; I aspire to make the dean's-list in all the years I attend college, I anticipate participating in a minimum of two organizations which can get me more absorbed in the community, and finally, I want to become involved with the student body, and attend as many school sponsored events as I can. In my junior year, when I heard I made the honor roll at my high school, I was overcome with a feeling of fulfillment. This was the first time I had made the honor roll and with this achievement was a feeling of pride for the work I put in, and for the way the work reflected in my grades. But, I stayed hungry and kept working to maintain this honor, and I finished on the honor role for the entirety…

    When I first started my college education, I never would have thought that I would be where I am today. I transferred over to Temple University the spring semester of my freshmen year of college. I remember how frustrating those first couple month were for me as a college freshman. I had to adjust to a lot of new changes such as, a new campus, new people, new courses etc. I struggled a lot that semester but made through it with the help of the great professors and advisor. There were always great resources available to me no matter what needed. From then on I learned to manage my time and I knew how much work I had to put in to reach my goals. The next three undergraduate years were tough due to the rigorous coursework but I was able to…

    This is something I am very proud of, for not giving up even when times became difficult in my seventh grade. My fifth grade year was when I first earned a 4.0 G.P.A and sixth grade was the first time I was ever student of the quarter. I remember my sophomore year being a Rotary student of the month, for the math department. We ate at a restaurant called Giuseppe’s and the food was amazing. It felt like a dream for me. I still remember the taste of the food and it makes my mouth water every time. Situations like these were the ones that made me want to keep striving for my goal. I have not received an award like that in a while, but that doesn’t mean I will give up because I know that when I graduate, all my hard work will be worth it. This is why I am working hard, I want to try and earn as many scholarships as I can so I won’t have to take out too many loans. I don’t have enough money to even pay for college on my own. I will be the first in my family to graduate from high school and go to college. My plan to go to college will stay this way, hopefully until the end. Even if my major changes in the future, all that matters to me is that I graduate from college. However, my desire for graduating is so high, that I feel as though I will go through no matter what happens in life. Thank you for your…

    Track Team Reflection

    Two years ago during my sophomore year of high school my parents did not believe that I would be able to juggle school work as well as be on the track team. I put it upon myself to prove them wrong, and I did. I went to school for 7 hours, then after school would practice with the track team until late hours in the day. Their lack of confidence that I would be able to keep my grades up as well as be in a sport prompted me to want to be on the track team even more. With their lack of confidence in me it led me to be constantly racing with the varsity runners and to get a 3.5 GPA, a huge improvement from my freshman year. I managed to make them believe that if I wanted to do something I could do it and do it well. Throughout the school year,…

    In the case that time travel was a realistic and safe mode of transportation, the person whom I would visit would be Queen Elizabeth I. The trials that she faced were unbearable, yet she survived. Growing up, reading the story of her lifetime was an inspiration and seemed unreal. By reading a group of books covering the Tudor monarchy, I learned of Queen Elizabeth and a time period roughly 600 years ago. The books came as a trilogy, following the lives of her mother, Anne Boleyn, her half-sister Mary and of herself. Each of the women had wonderfully defined personalities, however my favorite character is Elizabeth. For her charm and strong will moreover her strategic management of her affairs at court.…
