Accomplishments

Achievement

For me, it's rather difficult to say everything I've accomplished. I am happy and content with the life I am leading. I feel that things are working out as they should. That makes me feel a sense of accomplishment. The fact my family cares for me and my friends and I would do anything for each other, that also gives me a sense of pride and joy. Spelled out though, I do suppose throughout my academic career there are a few moments which I could call attention to and define as accomplishments.

The Verdict

Taking a moment to actually define moments in my life of achievement resulted in a lot of reflection about my past history. I am a very humble person and as a result, it was actually difficult to decide what should make the cut. Deciding what accomplishment actually meant was also challenging.

Deciding Moments:

  • Receiving my internship with CollegeWorks. They only choose 10% of applicants to actually work for them.
  • Lakes High Daffodil Princess. It's silly, but it taught me how to be a girl, and enjoy it a little
  • Honor Roll - 4 years at Lakes High School
  • Receiving over $70,000 in scholarships - I am very proud of the hard work I did in high school
  • President's Scholar - this in particular is relevant to PLU
  • Various athletic awards for participation and team spirit
While this list I feel is rather short, it cannot possibly describe all of the hard work and effort I have put forth throughout my time as a student. There have been tons of late nights and early mornings working to finish everything I started and everything I said I would do. Whether it's my homework, or helping another, finishing tasks is extremely important to me. I am not the type of person to forget. If it's told to me or assigned, it stays on my mind until completion.

What Drives You?

It's not so much talent, but hard work which will help you achieve your goals, and help a person finish what they start. Having the integrity to do what you say you're going to do is also critical in accomplishing anything. Personal morals, values, and ethics really come into the light during challenging moments.
