Personal Statement

During my toughest times I was able to drag myself out of it and since
then I felt a little spark in me that I can or could become a leader and so
most times whenever I’m working with other people I try to be the vocalist
and lead everyone to a good way in life. I was able to teach many things
from the people around me and the people from my personal life and the
people that I meet at school, I taught some how to work something on the
computer and if they ever needed help so that if their own friends needed
help with something they would already know how to do it without me
teaching them.

The way I express my creative side is by putting food together that

wouldn’t work together and also making random items from the wood in my
backyard. What creativity means to me is that you find ways to entertain
ourselves or figure out how to solve a problem. I think everyone has a
unique set of creativity and creates something completely different from
others and I think my creativity skill is that I’m able to solve problems or
anything that involves creating new food items for me or my family to try or
trying to find a way to escape a certain situation with little resources around
me. The steps I will take to solve a problem with my creativity will be trying
to see the amount of resources I have around me or on the internet.

My greatest talent or skill I have is having a strong mentality. I have

developed and demonstrated it by being put through hard workouts in
football and by controlling my emotions when a situation has escalated to
the point where everyone's emotions are high filled with anger or sadness.
I’m proud that I have a strong mentality because whenever someone says
something super negative about me I just walk it off. Also with a strong
mentality you’re able to hold your emotions without letting anyone into your
head and trying to knock you off of your path of what you want to become
in the future from 5-10 years from now. To me I think talent comes naturally,
because some may already be gifted with talent while some have to work
for it. What my skill does is that it allows me to block out all of the outside
noise from the people that don’t like me or just negative people in general
and it allows me to go on with my day without being bothered by them.
The last 3 years of my life in High School I’ve always struggled with
maintaining good grades but this year is different because I am turning
everything in on time or early and it has made my grades the way they are
as of right now which are straight A’s. I overcame the problems with my
grades by doing the work, paying attention in class, and turning the
assignments in on time, with doing all of that the end result will be straight
A’s across the board without having to be reminded to do my work. My
personal characteristic was just me being lazy and not doing my work and
turning it in, now that I’m doing that I feel like I’m headed in the right path.
The skills I have are just that of an average student with just a little bit of
not being good at math or Science in general. Overcoming this helped me
become a better person and student because I was able to do things I was
not very good at and now I feel amazing about myself and I will carry it with
me for the rest of my life.
