My favorite quote by Benjamin Franklin is, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” This quote is saying that you will have more success in all elements of life if you do not waste your time on unnecessary late nights, but instead get to bed early in order to wake up at an ideal time in the morning. When you wake up, you will be refreshed and prepared to handle all that the day may throw at you. This is my favorite quote because I think it is a great policy to live by. If you are out partying all night, you will not get the rest you need. If you are not rested, you cannot function at your best and therefore cannot be as productive as possible. You could miss out on an opportunity or some important information. While I do not always live by this quote, I try to as often as possible. I believe that what this quote says is one of the most important elements of schooling success.
There is nothing in life that I want more than happiness. There are elements in life that will affect my happiness. These include my career choices and my relationships with other people. My ideal career choice is in the medical field because I find the medical field fascinating and enjoy helping people who need help the most. To get to my career choice, I must first maintain the good grades I am receiving in high school. I must then carry over my good school habits to college in order to ensure that I maintain the grade point average necessary to enroll in medical school. At medical school, I must study hard in order to pass and obtain a degree that allows me to become whatever position I choose as my field of study. If I cannot get into the medical field as I plan, my backup plan would be to go into some other career involving science because it is my favorite field of study. As the other part of happiness, I must be able to build and maintain healthy relationships with people. Not all of the relations I build must be romantic. For example, a friendship with a doctor could go a long way in helping me get into medical school. Also, strong friends will be able to help me through tough times. A romantic relationship that eventually leads to marriage would also be nice. This would ensure that I always have someone by my side that I can celebrate my successes with and, more importantly, it gives me someone to help me get through the tough times in life. With these things, I think I will be able to achieve happiness, which, to me, is the most important thing in life.
What would I make the ultimate sacrifice for? To me, the ultimate sacrifice is life. You can lose it all and still be alive, but if you die, there is nothing else that can be lost. I would make the ultimate sacrifice for my immediate family because I love them. To me, life is not nearly as fulfilling if I do not have the love and support of my family. Whether this means going to war or taking a bullet for a parent, I would do whatever I needed to do to protect my family from harm. To me, my family is more important than my life because my life would be much worse without them.
If you have a flaw, you usually want to try to improve that flaw. For me personally, I want to get better at tennis. First, I need to become more dedicated to the sport of tennis. If I am not determined to improve at something, I will never have the proper motivation to get better. Secondly, I am going to need to work hard at getting better. I need to practice the fundamentals of tennis over and over again until I am sure that I have the basics down. Next, I will need to learn to control the mental aspect of my game better. I cannot get angry and lose focus every time I make a mistake. I need to focus and believe in myself during a match. Then I will need to test out my skills against competition. I will not be able to know if I am improving or if I am ready to compete unless I gauge myself against other players. Finally, I need to develop my communication skills better in order to have better teamwork skills. If I can not communicate properly with my teammate, we will not be able to win because we will not be on the same page. With these five areas of improvement, I should be able to become a better tennis player.
What would you do if you lost all your worldly possessions? Would you cry and pout, or would you accept what happened to you? Would you pray to God to become wealthy again, or would you thank God for making you stronger? I believe there is a God out there and I believe that everything that happens in your life happens according to God’s will for a reason. At some point in your life, God teaches us the things that are really important in life — family, friends, and sticking to our values. If, God forbid, my house would burn down or something else catastrophic would happen in my life, I would pray to God that all the important people in my life were safe from the catastrophe. Then, I would turn to my family and friends to help me through the situation. They would make sure I was taken care of until I could get back on my feet. They would feed and clothe me because they care about me, just like I care about them. I know God would be with me if something catastrophic happened. If God caused something catastrophic to happen in my life, he would have good reason, and he would help me get through it.
In an ideal relationship, the love lasts forever. Every problem can eventually worked out in an ideal and loving relationship. That does not mean that even the greatest of relationships will not have problems. All relationships have problems. It just means that somehow, someway, the problem can be worked out and the love can last forever. In an ideal relationship, the couple is not afraid to show affection because they want the entire world to know how they feel about each other. They will tell everyone they know that they love each other and try to show that as much as possible. In a loving relationship, the couple will never want to spend a minute away from each other. In an ideal and loving relationship, the love will be more evident than you could ever expect and the couple will do nothing to change that.
As a high school student, my goal is to get into a good college or university. I will achieve this goal by doing the important things needed to show college. Firstly, I will need to get good grades to get into college. As of now, I have an average that is over 97%. This is a very good average that should help me get into a good school. Also, extracurricular activities are important. I participate in Key Club, FBLA, and I am also on the Tennis team. My grades and activities should get me into a nice school. If I am not able to get into a good college, I will need a back up plan. I will most likely try to get into a community college or a junior college if I cannot get into a nice university. If my goal goes as planned, in five years I will be in a good college preparing to graduate. I will also be preparing for medical school and my planned future career.
