<pre><code>Despite the entire hard obstacles I have had in life, I managed to grow up disciplined, and independent. I have always loved math and art and I know that Im good at these perspectives, which will lead me to great success. Though, I got a C in Pre-Calculus for the first semester, but it is because I skipped Algebra II. I had some struggle with it, but I did it and passed it. This will help me fulfill my dream, which is to become as an architect and/or civil engineer. However, my mother wanted me to become a registered nurse, so I thought that biology would be a great minor. She said that being a nurse would be the best life experience ever, and that nurses gets paid a lot. I love helping people and giving them care that I didnt get when I was a child, so I do believe that I will love being a volunteer nurse to either babies or senior citizens.
One of the biggest accomplishment that I had is that I lived through hard obstacles with just myself; solving things by myself, and that I am a disciplined kid without having that much adult supervision. I have overcome all of these hard obstacles, from emotional to physical obstacles. Another accomplishment that I had is that I skipped a grade here in the United States and that I am going to graduate a year earlier than most of the seniors. I have my transcript from my old school from the Philippines that got transferred to my transcript here in the United States; it was hard to study back in my old school, I got straight Bs and some As. There were everyday quizzes, weekly tests, and we have four quarters which means there would be four finals. However, having these kinds of accomplishments has its own bad sides; my GPA went down, so did my rank in my current school here in the United States. Also, I am supposed to be a college student this year, but my transcript and other paperwork got delayed. Although I prefer to be a college student this year, I think that staying another year in high school wouldnt hurt my life; I will be too young to get into college, besides I didnt know what I want to major in last year. I think that this would be the best route for my future. I do believe that graduating at a young age and work, in the long run, is the best thing to do; many opportunities will, for sure, come to me.
