If I had to choose just one part of my life where I was at my best, I would have a hard time picking. This is because I am ALWAYS at my best. But since my college education depends on an answer, I am going to pick out senior year as the time I feel I was at my (best) best.
Now I'm not saying all of senior year was great. Specifically, I feel I was my best at the academiuc and extracurrical part of senior year. I do not feel that I prepared for college at my best, but that is another story for another day. Anywho, I feel I was at my best academically because I kicked booty when it came to grades. Senior year was one of those rare years where I achieved my goals of all A's. I worked my butt off to achieve maximum awesomeness in all my classes. I even worked until midnight for some classes to get work done. Finally, I feel that I made senior year my best in academics by going through a whole bunch of college classes to earn college credit. I took Composition 1 & 2, Intermediate Spanish 1 & 2, and AP U.S. History. These classes are the reasons I am done with foreign languages and english. I also mastered the AP exam, but I never received college credit for it, but I am still happy with the results.
I feel that I was best at extracurricals as well because I took part in a great deal of them. For instance, I became President of our school's quiz bowl team during my senior year. I also became Vice-President of Family Career and Community Leaders of America during this time. In addition, I helped bring home a 2nd place trophy for the quiz bowl team when we traveled to Bishop Garrigan High School. My best just couldn't be stopped. I was that awesome.
It is my hope that I can bring the "best" that I gave to my senior year and apply it to college. I want to hit the ground running at college and bring home some great grades. So far, college has been awesome (because I am here) and I hope that it will continue this way for the next four years.
Oh Sebastian I love how you mentioned FCCLA! I miss those days sooo much!!!! I'm glad you were the VP :) I enjoyed running those meetings a lot! And I'm glad you ended up getting As because I remember you working a lot on that AP History class!!
ReplyDeleteYou are an extremely hard working! This makes me think I should have spent more time studying. AHHH I was a wonderful procrastinator! lol Nice work, I hope you keep that hard work up throughout college! maybe I could borrow some!
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad that you want to persevere and put the same effort you did in high school to college. Most seniors can say they were feeling the senioritis pretty badly and slacked off senior year. It's great that you didn't fall into the same slump! Keep truckin', Sea Bass.
ReplyDeleteGood work Sea Bass! It's great you could be involved and still get the grades
ReplyDeleteYa good work! Sounds like you put the awesome in awesomeness. You must have studied and worked all senior year. I can see why you were at your (best) best. Congrats man and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI also believe college has been awesome for the most part. As for my senior I half-assed my way through it. But still managed to pull of 4.0 2 of the 4 quarters and a 3.95 for my senior year so can't say I am complaining. Also I definitely don't think I prepared myself for college and I bit off more than I could chew to start off my college career, but like you said a story for another day.
ReplyDeleteYou are always so confident and positive with everything that you do. That is what I admire most about you. I also loved how you are choosing to use the momentum of your great senior year and to carry it into college by obtaining good grades. Keep up the great work :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your hard work really paid off for you! I'm sure if you work just as hard in here in college you will achieve the same results. You are always such an optomistic person who never seems to let anything get in your way. I'm sure you will acomplish many things in your future :)
