So far, my life has been full of change. I was born in, India, and moved around for many of the early years of my life. I went from, Toronto, Dayton, Cincinnati, Wheaton, and finally, Elk Grove Village, in a six-year span of my life. These formative years were great for me because my parents always pushed me to do my best. Academically, I was pushed into performing the best I could such as trying my best in English class even though it was a struggle in the beginning. Socially, I was pushed into situations that I had to adapt to, such as changing schools every couple years. I was also pushed physically into trying everything I could possibly be comfortable with to see what I enjoy doing. These challenges helped form who I am and pushed me to …show more content…
They taught me that an educated person is one who can accomplish great things. They pushed me to be that person. They pushed me to do the best I can academically. An accomplishment that I am proud of is being inducted into the, “National Honor Society.” This has proven to me that hard work and dedication pays off and has allowed me to be recognized for all the sacrifices made to achieve high grades in the most challenging courses offered at my high school. This would never have been possible if not for the "push" my family gave me towards education and hard …show more content…
Experiences. such as seeing my grandma go through open heart surgery helped shape what I wanted to do. Through that experience, I decided that I wanted to become a cardiologist, so I can help people. Just like the doctor that saved my grandma 's life nine years ago. Five years ago, I went on a family trip to, India. When we passed the notorious slums of, Mumbai, I noticed how many people were missing limbs. My family told me that some were forced to do this so that they could get more money from tourists. Recent 3d printing technology, my desire to help people, and the goals I have set for myself make me want to help people like them by providing them with artificial limbs. After becoming a cardiologist, I hope to open a hospital and be able to provide the poor with cheap, quality health care, and expand to as many countries as I can. However, none of this will be possible without education. Therefore, my family 's advice to become as educated as I can remains
The National Honor Society, NHS, was officially started by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921. It started in a Pittsburg high school, but quickly grew throughout the nation. NHS has maintained a long history of admitting exemplary students into the organization. NHS developed four main tenants that have helped guide the purpose, as Zeiger (n.d.) explained: "to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote leadership; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools". I have chosen to do the National Honors Society, because it helped me throughout my junior and senior years in high school.
The biggest change I had to make was having to sacrifice a lot of time for my career. I have to train everyday to better myself and this causes me to miss spending time with my friends. The largest sacrifice of time that I have to make is in the summer. I spend most of my vacation traveling to different tournaments and camps, and I miss out on a lot of the fun stuff my friends are able to do. Committing has also affected my life because I always have to watch what I do and say because I am represent the Mississippi State Baseball Team.
The skills I have been able to develope since joining the National Honor Society are skills that I will will use for the rest of my life. Before joining the National Honor Society I was a typically high school student who really did not care about anything around him. Since joining the NHS I have grown a new appreciation for everything around me. I have grown as a leader and a person and I have learned to have a new outlook on life.
It is because of them that I aspire to be a college graduate, ready to head out into the world and help others while making my parents
It is a great honor to be nominated as a member of the National Honor Society. There are many reasons why I want to take part in NHS. One reason why I want to be in it is to continue to grow academically with people who have the same goals as me. I want to be encouraged, not discouraged by the people around me. If I get into NHS, it will give me a lot of opportunities to be a leader.
The National Honor Society is an opportunity for many students, who are well educated with dreams and leaderships skills, to upgrade themselves. The sole purpose of this organization is to endeavor leaders in different societies to help out their community. It will help colleges to notify the leaders when looking at students’ resumes, for those students in this organization will be the few who are well-developed leaders in their school. Since this will be the first time to be given the opportunity to contribute to this organization, I may not know everything about the requirements in which I need to manage.
I chose National Honor Society as my most important activity to me. Being a part of National Honor Society means to me that I have accomplished many of my goals in my academic career; such as my grade point average and my upper ranking amongst my fellow classmates. I chose this also because it allows me to be a leader for my classmates and school members.
My journey consisted of many good and bad times, and throughout the years I discovered my strengths and weaknesses. I made new friends, took on different tests, accomplished many things. My first year was my most difficult, being new to the school, but as the years went by, school became a more fun experience for me. Knowing that the 4 years of high school was a journey for me, I was able to brace myself for the difficult times to come and the rewards I was going to receive. At the end of the journey, I had gained a lot from these 4 years, but it also prepared me for my next journey, my journey through university.
My parents are responsible for my determination and work ethic. They came to this country with nothing but were able to raise me to be the strong woman that I am today. Adapting to American society has been a challenge, but nothing I couldn't conquer. I have learned how to maneuver through the fast paced environment of this country and have adapted in order to succeed. I have learned that I need to work hard in order to be successful and that opportunity doesn't come to anyone easily but you have to find your way.
My mother changing the world as an educator herself and my father saving lives as a firefighter and EMT. I knew that it was my destiny to impact the world somehow. Education seemed like the perfect fit, as a teenager I developed a love for history and storytelling. I remember back to every important and memorable teacher going through school were social studies teachers. They always impacted my life both in the classroom and in athletic world.
The stress of the classes and work pushed me to succeed and make myself a better person, so the person I am today is because I was pushed by various teachers and the outcome of how I dealt with the multiple
I am a college graduate. All of these things are just a piece of who I am. The people around me and my experiences have made me who I am. My parents shaped me into who I am since I was a child. They taught me my morals and helped
Teachers, parents, and peers all have shaped my future in some way. Teachers in school push me academically because they
Our lives are marked by events that make us grow and mature. We cannot grow if we are too comfortable. Only by being out of our comfort zone will we notice substantial transformations in ourselves. Many times, to advance through obstacles, one must endure excruciating pain. To get through difficult situations the only option might be to reinvent yourself, to replace what you thought was fair and right, and adjust yourself to the new reality.
Growing up in a developing country during the early part of my life, I witnessed destitution and disease firsthand. I have seen women dying from minor childbirth complications, children suffering from disabling effects of polio, and villagers dying of MI – simply because their nearest medical facility was miles away. It was enough to keep one up at night; it frustrated me. Looking back, I realize my inspiration stems not from a medical role model but the would-be patients, the ones I so wanted to help. Their suffering nurtured my compassion and strengthened my resolve for the long-standing ambition of entering medicine.
