My Life as a Student
I have been a student for many years now, and I have come to realize that my experience as a student has greatly shaped my life. It has taught me valuable lessons and has pushed me to develop skills that I may not have otherwise obtained. It has been a challenging and trying journey, but a journey I have been able to make with the help of many people in my life.
First, I must give credit to my teachers. Throughout my years I have been taught by a variety of teachers and each of them have contributed to my education in some way. From inspiring me with stories of how they persevered to reach their goals, to helping me make choices when I was feeling lost or confused, my teachers have been wise and patient. They have always worked to ensure that I am not only able to process and understand the information they provide, but also to be able to think and make decisions independently.
My family has also been a big part of my journey as a student. They have been both my guides and my motivators. They taught me the importance of getting good grades, of being well-rounded so that I may have an interesting career in the future and supported me more than I can ever express. Whether it was attending school events, or just sitting and having a chat every now and then, my family has been my backbone and my biggest cheerleaders.
My peers have also been incredibly important in my journey as a student. From sharing stories and laughs, to debating issues and studying together, my peers have challenged me and tested me in a variety of ways. They have pushed me to think outside the box and be creative with my solutions, to work hard and focus on what I want to accomplish, and most importantly never give up.
Last but certainly not least, I must thank myself. As an individual, I had to take the initiative to learn, to take the information my teachers gave me and make it my own. I had to push myself to stay awake all night studying, take risks to get involved in activities I was passionate about, and learn the importance of taking care of my mental, physical, and emotional health. Without my diligence and dedication, I may not have achieved all that I have.
As a student, I have gained much more than knowledge, but also experience in perseverance, resilience and ultimately, success. I have learned that success is not always achieved in the way that I anticipated and there are definitely bumps along the way. However, I have also realized that with determination and the help of many who support and care for me, I can and will achieve what I set out to do.
