High school has had an huge impact on my life. Throughout high school, I have excelled in Academicsacademics, sports, and clubs. I haveand received numerous awards. These awards hashave kept me grounded, and isare what drives me to continue to go above and beyond what is expected of me. Due my excellence in the classroom, I was awarded an Lanuagea Language Arts award for being the top student in that particular subject. This award was significant to me, because throughout the twelve years I have been in school, for eight of those years I struggled in Language Arts. I had trouble reading, so that had ana huge impact on my writing. ManyFor many years, I was bullied by my fellow classmates for not being able to read, but once I entered high school, everything changed.
