I have accomplished many things in my life but in this essay I will be speaking on a few of them. My parents always tell me how proud they are of me and all I’ve accomplished in my life at such a young age. I’ve always been known as the “responsible one”, or the “smart one” out of all my friends. I’ve always been the one to remind my friends about tests or reports that are due, and they always ask what they would do without me.
I have always had an interest in movies and acting. My first two years high school, and throughout middle school, I participated in drama and advanced drama to explore my interests in acting. I wrote my own monologs and preformed them in front of the class, I listened to praise and criticism but eventually learned how to write an excellent monolog. I always had a little bit of stage fright but in my last year I performed in our schools main stage performance it was something I had not done before and it is something that I will never forget.
My 6th grade year I moved back to Bolivar and it has been one of the greatest challenges I’ve have had to face in my life. It was hard leaving all my friends and family I had been close to all through my childhood. One thing that really helped me in the transition was the new friends I made. They brought me right in under their wing by hanging out with me at school and inviting me over to their houses. This was a difficult time in my life but I learned I can make friends and be successful anywhere.
I’ve been in choir ever sense I was in 7th grade, and I made it up to the Accapella choir, which is pretty much the highest choir you can join. We traveled to compete and have won many awards. My junior year of high school i did volunteer work at an assisted living facility where i called bingo, I did that for about three mounts. I tried to continue to do that after I got my first job but the two couldn’t work around each other’s schedules. I got my first job as soon as i turned 16 and I got hired the same day I turned in my application. I have now worked at Wendy’s for almost a year and a half, and I am now studying to be a crew leader, which is right under a manager position. I have been able to stay at Wendy’s because they work around my busy schedule. Now I know everyone so well that they are all like family.
My grandmother is my role model because she has accomplished so much and been through so much in her life. She is a very beautiful person, but very stubborn in what she believes and wants. It’s almost impossible to get her to change her mind. She is always telling me how proud she is of me and has pretty high expectations of me. My mom is also a role model for me because she had a rough childhood and after she started a family she went back to college she is still attending college now; she gives me motivation to never give up and reminds me of how bad it could have been.
My sophomore football season I was thrust into the varsity quarterback spot due to my teammate’s injury. I had to learn how to be a leader. I showed to my teammates my desire to win and my reliability earning myself the most improved player award voted by the team. By my senior season I earned team captain. I also lead my team to a league title and was voted Offensive Most Valuable Player by my teammates and by league coaches due to my ability to bring my teammates together. In my junior year of high school I did a scholarship program called “Mission Possible”. We practiced for about five months. We did fashion shows to raise money. We competed in events such as: talent, poise, fitness, and academics. This allowed me to explore myself and make new friends; it also helped build my self-esteem.
I have been involved in many hours helping clean the streets and sidewalks of Hardeman County, doing my part to make the community a better place to live. The main project of my high school career was helping improve and maintain the city park for the all children. They had a brand new field but needed sod to be laid on top of it. So I volunteered my time and laid sod so their field could be complete. The city park needed an outdoor amphitheater which I also helped build by crating the roof and the stage. To conclude this essay, I would like to state that I am proud of my accomplishment and plan on adding to them.
