Academic Goals by Danica

Academic Goals by Danica - April 2024 Scholarship Essay

Academics is one of the most important aspects of my life. I have many things that
motivate me to be the best I can be, but the two main things that motivate me to pursue my
academic goals are softball, and personal growth. When it comes to softball, I have to have
a decent GPA to play the field and grow. Regarding college, if I want a softball scholarship, it
can be raised if my grades are higher. Most importantly, exceptionally good academics is
especially critical to my personal development. I set very high standards for myself when it
comes to academics. My goal every year is to get a 4.0 or above, I push myself in every
class to succeed my goals and I work very hard for my good GPA.
Regarding academic growth, I use my motivation and I keep on top of my work to
stay focused to achieve my goals. Being in two college classes in addition to my high
school classes, I make sure to have a clear and organized schedule so I can complete my
work to the best of my ability and play softball 7 days a week. My time management is a
very important skill that I have to finish high school with a 4.25 GPA as my goal.
