Personal Statement
My last of year of middle school has been very strange and unique year, being that I truly found out what I want to become of myself in life. I have become aware of what I am capable of, but I could I have not realize this without my experiences of 8th grade.I have achieved much in this year, my marathon time, the connections with my teachers, and my grades. For the past year I was training to become a the best cross country runner I can be, working and disciplining myself to gain a decent time in the marathon. I did this prove myself that I was able to gain and follow my dreams without giving up hope, it was a test I created for myself. I realized that I am capable to create connections with my teachers and to have some them look up to me due to my knowledge of life. This is a very important achievement because I know now that my knowledge can take far and bring more chances in my life, seeing that teachers envy my maturity and knowledge of philosophy is very pleasant. My final achievement was that I kept my grades up and proved myself to be a very convicted student who has a thrust for knowledge. My grades don't show my intelligence but merely how convicted am I, science is a concept I dearly love and have proved that I can become a scientist one day. If I were to give advice to 7th grader about succeeding in 8th grade, I would tell them this is a time were your decisions effect your future. 7th graders must choose wisely about what life they pursuit for, being that in four years their acts will ultimately decide their path, this the transactions from a child to a adult. To achieve academic goals you must not let your personal life effect your professional life, if so this will bring negative effects on you. To succeed you must use both your mind and heart, and choose which career you are interested in because by high school you'll be transcending from that. A quote I hold dear to me is “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” - Aristotle. Life is like a water fall, you flow through with everyone else, and once fall comes you find out were all once again one after the fall. My life has changed very much, but know reflecting on it. I feel I am become the person I only dreamed of becoming, a wise man.
