Grade Educational / Internship Program Description & Benefits

Respond in detail to the following questions -

Three words you would use to describe yourself:

1. _____________________
2. _____________________
3. _____________________

Discuss your career and personal goals:

My career includes my self-determination in becoming a professional soccer player as well as obtaining a bachelors degree in the
study of architecture. I am certain the path I am choosing won't be the one I will pave, however if I can become more instated into
my mindset of hard work and dedication. Not only will my journey become a bit more tolerable, although I'll steadily be improving
my own goals and work ethics/habits that will provide my shadow to brighten my view in achieving higher goals and purposes.

Why would you like to attend college/trade school/military?

The Reason I believe that I should attend or even have decided to head towards the next step of my academic career is not only
for the “money” but a more refined perspective of what it means to have financial freedom. Only few members of my family
have attended school higher than a high school degree and not only will I be a first generational change in my family but also
will create more than just a family within my goals or passions, I would want an economy within my team to expand
throughout the system and to become a worldwide organization that over ceeds the expectations of what is needed or
expected more over a society who can stick through thick and thin and benefit throughout the challenges together.

Do your grades in high school reflect your academic ability or potential? Explain.
Personally I can agree to disagree to this following subject however I believe that it should and does not determine the
academic potential within you. Just like there are second chances for people I am certain that we can alter our
mindsets in regards to obtaining a more determined and knowledgeable head over our shoulders. Everyone learns
from their mistakes differently than others. Why wouldn't a similar outcome occur for those who aren't as focused or
curious about reading and writing than others would be.

Are there any particular circumstances, school experiences, or persons that influenced your preparation or motivation to attend
college/military (e.g., cultural/financial background, family, and teachers)? Explain.

Honestly with the questions asked I can actually relate or also say that they are very interesting questions but in regards of my
preparation or motivation it is honestly difficult to explain because of my challenging times and situations i've overcome, simply I
can state its for my family friends or maybe even my future but I feel a sense of not for my well being nor who I am becoming but
to only allow myself be a part of this astronomical lively place called earth that has defined the purposes of life into a greater
sense of achievement. I believe our rewards and the dedication we forth put are not as visible as the bigger picture than what the
lesson of life is. My motivation comes from family, my parents and of course some of my teachers who created an honorable
learning figure for me to say less of “I can't do this, or i'm not able to or I didn't know” and to rephrase my words as well create a
more developing mental absorment to allow the uncomfortable situations a more admirable lesson.

Describe any obstacles you have faced in school/life and how you overcame them:

Throughout the whole 4 years of my high school academic career I have had a long time with difficulties in focusing and
procrastination. So for some of my time I have focused more on my well being and mental state rather than stressing over what I
am unable to control however there were times when I had severe depression I overcome my toughest times by preparing
emotionally, physically and mentally for whatever was to come throughout my day,month,year.
