Academic goals by Sam - August 2022 Scholarship Essay
After living through a pandemic during most of my high school experience. I’ve realized that making goals before living through it can be unrealistic sometimes. While yes it’s important to have goals it’s also important to understand why you have these goals. After living half a normal year of the high school year I have come to the idea that my only goal is doing the best I can. Succeeding is great but everyone holds different stances on what that is. I believe that everyone can be successful because there are different stages of success.
Going into my junior year of high school now I do have academic goals. My biggest goal is to get on the right track after school. This year I hope to accomplish the milestones I’ve set in my school life to get to my big goal of success. For me, success is getting a diploma. After almost two years of hardship, it’s understandable to want something but you have to Pace yourself.
After running track for 3 years I’ve learned that life is like running a 400. You wanna start the best you can but pushing yourself too early will make you want to quit before you’re even halfway done. You have to have a pace for example a milestone. Always go into something strong but let the outcome be known as your best.
