I've got a simple question for y'all. What achievement from your high school period makes you proudest today? Looking to get some inspiration from your stories!
One achievement that resonates with me is when I volunteered in a community center for after-school programs. My role involved tutoring struggling students in my community, particularly in STEM subjects. Seeing them make progress, gain confidence in their abilities, and score higher in their school assessments was a fulfilling and empowering experience for me.
Another high achievement worth mentioning was when my school's robotics team, which I was part of, reached the national level of a significant competition. We had spent countless hours after school and on weekends iterating our designs, testing functionality, and refining our programming code. When we finally stood on that national stage, it was a testament to our hard work, persistence, and team collaboration.
Remember, achievements aren't always the tangible awards or scores. Sometimes, it's about the journey, the impact you create, and the lessons you learn along the way.
