Personal Statement
Before going off to college there are five major goals I would love to accomplish. One goal is to be able to have a 4.0 grade point average for the rest of my academic career at DC Everest. I will accomplish this by studying very hard and putting the time in to learn the material. Another goal I want to complete, is to continue to run Cross Country and Track. This is a goal of mine because they are great sports and give the feeling of a second family. But to do this, I will have to continue to make time for schoolwork on the side. Finding a job is definitely a must have on my list of goals before I graduate. To accomplish getting a job I need to keep my grades up and work towards the common goal of the company. I would like to have this job during the summer, at a Bemis Manufacturing plant. The reason I would like to work here is because many chemical engineers find themselves working the same type of job and this will be preparing me for my future. A Co-curricular goal I have is to do an exchange with German students and spend a couple of weeks in Germany. I would love to do this because it will help me with my German and it is a great experience. To do this I will have to put in the work to qualify to go and to keep a GPA above 3.5. My last goal I have before I graduate is to join NHS or National Honors Society. This a great program and looks very good on college applications. To become apart of this club I will have to keep my grades high and to complete the community service hours.
When I graduate high school I also have five goals I want to accomplish during the rest of my life. One of these goals is to go to Michigan Tech University. To get into to MTU I will have to work hard to have great grades and have a very good college application. A second goal of mine goes with the first, I want to graduate MTU with a degree in Chemical Engineering. To complete this, I will have to work very hard in my classes and get good grades. A third goal of mine is I would like to move to a very big city like New York or London. To accomplish this I will have to move there and find a job. My next goal is to get a successful job as a Chemical Engineer. To do this, I will have to work very hard during college to learn the material and to get good grades. My final goal I would like to accomplish after high school is to work up to becoming the manager of a plant involving chemical engineering. To accomplish this I will need to work hard and put in the time to move up the ladder.
