My Talent

Many of my talents are reflected in throughout my junior year. I know that I did terrible my sophomore year and it was not the wisest act I have made; to ignore school and just do well on tests. I started caring more about school when I visited a very prestigious UC. I noticed that I would never be able to apply to any of the UC's with the grade point average I had, and so started working my butt off. I challenged myself, and I enjoyed this; I have always loved challenging myself. When I succeed I always feel like I am much better than I used to be.

I love challenging myself, but most importantly I love to lead. I tutored middle-school students every Saturday for four hours, for about three months. I enjoyed this; I was able to use my knowledge of math and English to help struggling students. I felt like a very important person to them. The responsibility placed on me felt good.

I have always loved math. My ability to easily comprehend math if I set a bit of my mind to it set me apart from everyone else. I am currently taking AP Calculus and AP Physics to try and help me with my future major; civil, or maybe chemical, engineering. Math will help me with either of the majors, and AP Physics will help me with civil engineering. I also took AP Chemistry my junior year and passed the AP test, therefore I believe I have a broad understanding of what's in store for each of the majors.

I enjoy school and how it provides me with challenges every now and then. I don't know how I could've missed out on this academic lifestyle. I feel much smarter, and more prepared for life at a university.
