What Do You Consider to Be Your Greatest Achievement Thus Far?
What do you consider to be your greatest achievement thus far? Please share this with us in about 500 words.

My greatest achievement would probably be my good academic results during my three years of polytechnic studies. How and Why those three years of studies end up as my greatest achievement thus far are probably due to my academic results between the time in secondary school and the time in polytechnic. I also believe that those three years in polytechnic change my mentality towards studying and even allowed me to learn and experience new things.

During secondary school, though I'm inside the school's pure science class during level secondary three and four; my academic results were average or perhaps even below average in the class , my ranking was always counted from the bottom. My O level results in the end was decent and I chose the polytechnic route because it had my favorite 'subject' which was engineering. My hobbies involved playing around with gadgets and electronics. Additionally my favorite subjects were physics and mathematics which ultimately lead me into choosing “Electronics and Computer Engineering” for my course in Ngee Ann Polytechnic because the course had relations to those subjects.

Studies in Polytechnic was certainly different from being in secondary school; probably because that course was engineering and most of it involves physics and mathematics which were my favorites. After the first semester examinations, to my surprise, I managed to obtain a 3.8 GPA out of 4 which was quite impressive, even my parents and classmates were surprised at the results. This event definitely lit my passion for electronics engineering and changed my mentality towards studying. During lessons, I learned to mentor those students who are weak and contribute questions or doubts during tutorials and class discussions. Additionally, I also learned to muster confidence and courage within me to speak/present in front of the class during several

    The most significant accomplishment, for me, would be assuming an officer position within the Morehouse College Glee Club as a freshman. This is something that never happens, considering elections within this organization occur at the close of each academic year so freshmen would not be considered. The then president had a tough decision to make in terms of who to appoint to the position. After careful review of attendance records and academic records I was ultimately chosen. Not only did the then president go against the grain, but he believed in my ability to achieve be an effective leader. This empowered me to excel and become more dedicated to the organization and developing my leadership skills.…

    My most significant accomplishment was being first chair trumpet. When I first started playing trumpet in fifth grade, I was terrible at it. I started practicing more in middle school, but I still wasn’t progressing much. I then started taking lessons during sixth grade and learned that my mouth position was very wrong. My lesson teacher was able to help me fix that problem but then I got braces. When I got braces, I took a huge step back. I had to relearn how to play the trumpet. I eventually got better with practice and in eighth grade I even made one of the auditioned bands at my future high school.…

    My most meaningful accomplishment has been in the recent year. Winning the election for Florida A&M Universities Student Government Association Vice President, for it to be stripped away from us from out past University President. My accomplishment was of course acquiring our position after a 6-month period, but the greatest accomplishment I’ve witnessed was resilience within myself. Through this imperial experience, I’ve realized the importance of fighting for whats right. For this reason, I’ve realized that it’s necessary to do whats morally correct -- this was how I measured my success. Not by the position, but how I went about handling the turmoil of not getting everything you want when you want it. This situation served as an example,…

    An accomplishment of mine that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood within my culture, community, and family was learning to drive. The steps from studying the books from the DMV, to going out with my parents and the behind the wheel program at school, to getting my own car all helped prepare me for the next section of my life. And while this accomplishment may seem minute to some, it was major for me because it was something I really wanted and not everyone my age are in the same position. This accomplishment was a milestone for me mentally, extended my responsibilities and freedom physically, and lessens the burden for my parents.…

    My Major Accomplishment

    The thing that comes to mind that I would say makes me the proudest is working so hard all those years in high school to get good grades just so I could get into the best college in Florida. The day I got accepted into University of Florida was the day I felt proudest of all my accomplishments in high school. I would not say it was easy though, I managed to maintain my high GPA while holding a job, participating in sports, and even doing a lot of chores most kids would not even think about doing. I can remember when my family had me help fix our house after a waterline busted and flooded the entire house. After school and football practice I would come home and start working on fixing our house. No matter how tired I was I did not quit until the job was done even if it meant staying up late with my mom working on the project at hand. Now I know by no means necessary that this is a miracle, but I feel that it is something I am proud of. Being able to accomplish my goal no matter how many tasks I have to do. So I know now that I can handle anything that comes my way no matter how hard it may seam and how tiresome I may be I will not let up until I am done. The day I received my acceptance letter to the University of Florida was proof of the hard work I had done and that I was going to get where I wanted as long as I keep up my hard work.…
