Pride sample

One of my recent and still current accomplishments that I take pride in would be my

transcripts . They reflect the effort that I have fueled into my school work throughout the

obstacles I have faced. The fact that my grades stand at a positive correlation makes me proud to

stand by them.

The first two years of high school were rough. I started out freshman year in another high

school and then transferred to merced high school which pushed me off track socially and

academically. Junior year I started a new job and was dealing with a lot of pre existing issues that

are difficult to express. I slowly began to mend myself and better my health which was difficult

working from 3 to closing on school nights, often having those shifts back to back. Although I

had a choice to not work those hours particularly because I needed money to support myself since

my parents could barely support themselves.I would find time during classes to finish homework

and often start homework after work and hopefully get a good 6 hours of sleep. In addition to

work I also had volunteered at a jobsite I had for ROP Medical technologies, I took wednesdays

off to enjoy giving back to my community and frankly like to do more so.

Eventually I Slowly drawn back on work running into september of my senior year. I took

a break off work and decided to focus on my schooling. I managed to accomplish a steady 4.0 the

first semester. I later returned back to work in January and still maintain a 4.0 for this current

semester. The point of telling you broadly what happened outside of school can give you insight

that despite my social life I still kept my grades high and ironically the harder life had gotten the
more I pushed my efforts at school. Going from a 2.8 average and suddenly accomplishing to get

a 4.0 took a lot of strength and effort and I take pride in that.
