    There are many accomplishments in my life of which I am proud, however there are two for which I am especially proud. Those being, having the opportunity to play varsity shortstop in high school, and having good enough grades to be nominated for, and to be admitted into, the National Honor Society. These accomplishments make me proud because they are goals that I was able to set and accomplish for myself. These are successes that not everyone can say that they have achieved.…

    Families assist in your development over the lifespan. No matter what the situation is, your family is always there to support you through your journey. Though, just because they stick by your side, does not mean it is in a positive manner. It may mean they are just doing their job, following the rest of society to create an image of the perfect family, which may never exist. Though in order to maintain a healthy family, you must respect their beliefs and values.…

    I know friends come and go, but your family will ALWAYS stick to you. From their encouraging words, I had a great recovery and did not have deal with ulcerative colitis the rest of my life. Also my family has encouraged me to get good grades and always try my ultimate best. My family is the one that will never stop you from laughing. They always have cheesy jokes and stories from their works. One major item they support is dance. I have been dancing for about 7 yrs and I am really compassionate about it. I do Bollywood and hip pop. My parents know how much it means to me bringing me to dance practice even though their job at work doesn’t end until 10 min before the practice starts. I am so graciously blessed to have parents that adjust to their shifts at work to bring me to dance practice. A lot of fellow peers didn’t have families that come to every dance show, but my family was there for every single one and cheering me on even though I make big mistakes on stage. It was always meant a lot for me that I have great parents that…

    My family are the people that I choose to be around the most and adjusting to life without them all the time will be tough for me. For example, my mom still sets up my doctor appointments, does my laundry and embarrassingly, sometimes speaks up for me as well . However I think that finally not having her do these things will benefit me as I learn to be more independent. To overcome this challenge I plan to meet responsible people who will be alongside me throughout my college and career journey. Another challenge I will face is overcoming my shyness. I know that to be successful in college I will have to engage in order to be successful. For that reason I plan to join different clubs and perhaps take classes that will help me open up with…

    Having people to support me is probably one of the biggest things that keep me thriving to wanting to succeed as a student. Sometimes, I can feel low about myself and just feel like I’m all alone. It really helps having family there to uplift me when I feel hopeless. I have honestly thought about giving up multiple times, but my family is always there to back me up. For example, after high school I didn’t even want to go to college. I doubted myself and thought school just wasn’t for me. As Carlos had stated from The Student Fear Factor, “It was like I thought I wouldn’t make it, like I wasn’t going to be able to make it. And I made it hard and it wasn’t that hard.” That’s exactly how I felt. However my parents, especially my mom, pushed me to go. I was told that I am smarter than that. They believed in me and knew I could succeed. Having support from your family is probably one of the most important things. Every time I have a problem with school whether it’s me needing help with things I don’t understand, moral support, or even financial support, my family is always there to help me and always will be. I remember the time I was ready to drop a class because I couldn’t afford books for it. My mom could not let money stop me from furthering my education, so she gave me money to buy my books. Knowing I have support from my family is such a comforting feeling, and I know I always have them to keep me from giving up in this long journey to success.…
