• Regardless of the grade received, what has/have been your favorite school
course(s) and why do/did you enjoy them?
Course Why I enjoyed the course
I enjoyed this course because it was way different than any other course I
have taken. This course allowed me to get a feel for all the STEM fields
combined. Although it happened to be one of my most challenging classes it
kept me intrigued to stay on top of all my classwork. One project we
completed involved coding/programming, where me made a little robot figure
Honors and had to program it to move and walk in different ways. This is one project

Engineering continued to practice the skill I ended up loving it and would do it again.
I enjoy all math classes, I happen to have a natural love for math. One reason
is because I never get bored, there is always something new to learn, or add
on and build to what you already know or being able to freshen up skills you
already have. Another reason is because I like to think about math as a puzzle,
on tests you’re always trying to figure out that missing piece or the answer
that makes the puzzle complete and question correct. I always want to be able
Honors to figure out the correct answer on my own so if I do not get it the first time I
Math practice repeatedly until I have mastered it.
 • What do you consider to be your academic weakness and how do you manage
it? Please keep response to a maximum of 60 words.
My academic weakness is procrastination. I tend to postpone working on projects or
assignments until the last day before it is due, causing me to not work to my fullest potential.
Recently I have decided to try to change this, so I am using a calendar to record all due dates
for me to stay ahead.
• Describe a/an experience/class/teacher/project/lab/movie/book, etc. that
changed your viewpoint or attitude in some way. Describe the experience.
Explain why it changed you. Please keep response to a maximum of 60 words.
One class that has changed my viewpoint is College Transfer Success. This class encouraged
me to make realistic goals for the future, a lot of times I may want to achieve random goals in
life, but I am not thinking rationally. This class allowed me to set goals that are in my reach
and make the necessary steps toward them.
• Three words that best describe you:
Responsible, Reliable, Authentic
