Personal Narrative: My Life After High School
I had to dig deep for this! Dig deep to figure out what big problems I faced throughout these past years. It wasn't easy for me because I faced many difficulties throughout my life. Then I remember a time in my first 2 years of high school. I was oblivious. Confuse about my future. Whether I wanted to do something after high school. I have to admit school wasn't my priority in freshman year. I wouldn't get the best grade, but they weren't the worst either. All I cared about is having friends. Then something hit me. Seeing all these seniors not graduate on time. Seeing many kids struggle financially after high school. I eventually notice that those who go to college succeed more. Especially being a minority it's extremely difficult to succeed …show more content…
I got serious, I went to school every day, did all my work, study for every test. I notice a huge difference. My GPA went up. I was finally satisfied. The problem was I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in the future. My parents wanted me to go into the medical field, but I felt like it wasn't for me. Science wasn't my favorite subject. Then during sophomore year and especially junior year. I realized what I wanted to do as a career. I noticed that I enjoyed cooking a lot and being in the kitchen. That's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. One day I found out I had to switch schools. The new school I'm in Has a culinary program which I was very excited about. I asked them to place me in there. On the first day of school, I saw my schedule and I was very excited. I knew this is what I enjoy doing, but I didn't know if I wanted to continue it after high school. Through this program I learned that I do. In order for me to go to culinary school, I had to do my best in school because culinary school is not affordable. Especially for my family. I have many opportunities through program to earn a scholarship. If I work hard and get good grades I'll reach my

    Personal Narrative: The Day I Return To College

    It was the day that I was dreading all week. It was the day my brother was leaving for college. Since the day i was born me and my older brother have been really close. We liked the same things, hung out with the same people, and played on the same sports teams. We did everything together. As time went on nothing really changed even through high school we were still really close. The day he was leaving for college I was at my friends house and didn’t want to go home until the minute he was leaving. I didn’t want to see him until he left because i knew it was going to be hard for me to watch him leave so i figured if i didn’t see him until he said bye it wouldn’t be as bad. Another part of me also didn’t want to show him weakness, that i was…

    Obstacles In College

    As a refugee growing up, I did not had much hope of accomplishing anything in life, let alone go to college. I had to choose a major when I was applying for college, and I choose computer science, but the thing is I only saw what computer looks like, when I was almost fourteen. I have had to overcome many obstacles in life to get to where I am today. When I got accepted to Cleveland state university, I was so excited for being for first one in the family to attend a university. Since I only knew little about what to expect on college, I made some mistakes in my first semester, but I have learnt from those mistakes. When I was in high school, things were simple, so I had little trouble settling into a college environment. Since this is the second…

Leaving Eighth grade I knew that I had to work hard for four years and hope the hard work will pay off for choosing where I will go for college. I also had no clue what I will be doing after my time in high school. Overall before high school I had a vague understanding of what I was suppose to be doing but no clear idea and no idea of what I was suppose to do after high school.…

    My Goals In My Early Years

    In my early years I moved from state to state. It was difficult at times to find my niche or friends that shared the same values as myself. When my family settled down in Virginia it was hard to find what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I did not have many friends in high school which channeled my energy in my studies. I graduated high school with an advanced diploma and an energized spirit for college even when I was not quite sure if I still wanted to pursue my major of Economics. I knew when I entered college that I was going to make new educational goals for myself. One of my major goals was to make the Dean's list for most of my semesters. Now two years into college I have meet this goal every semester. For these two years I have…

    Why Should We Accept You - Accepted by Univ. of Pennsylvania

    High school is a strange time. After three years of trying to develop identity and friends in middle school, students are expected to mature immediately on the first day of ninth grade, but I never did this. I never fully realized in the earlier grades how important high school success, as measured by GPA, would be to my future life, and as a result I am applying to college with seemingly contradictory measures of my ability to perform college-level work. If I had worked and studied hard rather than hanging out with friends and viewing high school as an opportunity to socialize, I would not have to apply to school with a 1300 SAT and a 2.7 GPA. Had I taken my grades in my earlier years seriously, I could have been a college's dream candidate.…
