As a freshman beginning high school was very nerve wracking to me. I am the oldest of all my sisters so I had no one to tell me how high school was going to go. I was unprepared for what high school was going to bring me but I had to adapt. As I began high school I learned that it wasn't that bad other than finals and it wasn't that different from middle school, everything was just more intensified. My goal when coming into high school was to be able to think of all the accomplishments I have had when I'm gone. The accomplishment I am most proud of is being able to say I got A's and B's all 4 years in high school. This is my most proud accomplishment because even when I felt like I couldn't pass a class I managed to get all A's and B's.
When I first began 9th grade my classes were not very difficult, but as I progressed every year my classes appeared to get more difficult. The most difficult classes I had I would say were Chemistry and Geometry. This accomplishment is the one I am most proud of because even these classes that I was struggling in I managed to pass. I managed to pass by going to tutoring regularly and by working hard. This accomplishment symbolizes exactly that for me. It symbolizes me never giving up and staying focused on my goal to pass these classes.
This is an accomplishment I am most proud of because this accomplishment did not only make me proud but it made my whole family proud. I am currently in 12th grade and I have not yet gotten anything below a C and my family is proud of that. My family cares deeply about me and my grades and even they didn't think I would be able to get grades like these. By accomplishing this goal I inspire my younger sisters to do the same and never settle for less, because I believe they can do the same. II not only inspire my younger sisters but my family friends' parents. They all come to me and ask me what classes their kids should take and how did I pass all my classes. I am prod to share this accomplishment with them and be able to help with anything they need to know and this accomplishment allows me to share my experience.
Lastly I am very proud of this accomplishment because it allowed me to realize that I can do whatever I put my mind to. It helped bring up my confidence in school and helped me realize that if you are dedicated and focused no one can stop you from succeeding. I am now able to say school was hard at times and yes sometimes I wanted to cry but that didn't stop me, and it shouldn't stop anyone. As a kid you don't have many priorities your main ones are going to school and getting good grades and yes it will get hard and yes sometimes you will want to give up but if you strive and fight for your goals you will be able to accomplish anything. This accomplishment has inspired me to keep succeeding because I know the feeling of being proud of yourself and I want to reflect this when I get to college too.
In conclusion the accomplishment I am most proud of is getting all A's and B's. This accomplishment has not only inspired me to keep getting good grades but has also inspired my younger sisters to do the same. I am very prod of this accomplishment and hope everyone who is currently going to school and feels like their grades are bad hopefully they know they can do better and should not settle for average. If you can do better always strive for it in school. This is why this is my most proudest accomplishment.
