Why I Want To Raise My Educational Goals

Improved Essays
I am a senior at Miami High School and am currently enrolled in various rigorous courses designed for readying students for college. These courses include AP Calculus, AP Literature, and AP Environmental Science. In my junior year, I took two of the most vigorous and mentally challenging courses offered at my school, AP Language and Composition and AP Chemistry. Presently, my educational goal in high school is to raise my rank in my class because currently my unweighted rank is sixth out of one hundred and eighteen students. I intend to push myself harder to achieve the status of being within the top 5 students of my class. After I graduate, I would like to attend Northeaster Oklahoma A&M College and get all of my basic classes finished

    “Strength and growth only come only through continuous effort and struggle” - Napoleon Hill. As a Sophomore I took 1 challenging class, which was an honors class, because I was afraid of struggling and fear of failing. I was almost mentally accepting that I would never have the capability or succeed in Honors classes and AP classes. I began to find out the term “Honors” was just a word the education placed to intimidate individuals to not challenge themselves. To this day this has been my biggest regret; not challenging myself with tough classes.…

The material is pretty difficult to understand, even after spending a couple hours to review my notes some things would still be a little blurry. I was failing my test.…

    Learning is not something I believe that is exclusively tied to a classroom. I have found many learning experiences outside of the classroom that have benefited me just as much as the information I gained during schooling. I am always open and excited to gain knowledge in any area. From kindergarten through college I have enjoyed the good, and the bad, that comes with being in school and working hard towards something that you really want to accomplish. When I first attended college I was young and thought I was ready to dive head first into it.…

    Three years into my high school I hadn't gotten into the state of mind that most over achievers have. I had floated through high school thinking I was trying my very hardest to get good grades and become a consistently studious candidate of my school. However, no matter how hard I tried I failed I gave into all the distractions and used all my obstacles as excuses became frustrated and developed an attitude problem that I had created myself. Being a consistent 2.5 student wasn't satisfying or inspiring. Uniquely enough, I had decided to take challenging courses my junior year.…
