Unfolding a new path by Jorge - December 2016 Scholarship Essay

Accomplishments are vital to one's academic success, and can fuel the hunger of striving to achieve greatness.
If I were to choose one of the various school accomplishments I have achieved, it would be without a doubt my ability to mantain satisfactory grades throughout the last few years. Although the road to perfecting my academic grades will never end, I am proud of the progress and the attitude I have towards my view of maintaining satisfactory grades.
Although I might consider the act of maintaining satisfactory grades an accomplishment, as time passes, I view it as a personal obligation. An obligation that will increase my potential of striving for greatness, an increased chance of being accepted to prestigious colleges, an obligation that will unfold a new path to greatness, other than the one that society and followers encourage me to take. This personal obligation will be one of the key components to unlocking a door I never found possible to encounter, and for this reason I am fond and proud of this accomplishment that has now converted to a personal obligation.
I aspire to become great in the future, and stand out above the rest, proving everybody wrong. This accomplishment will only take me a step closer to a never-ending race to perfection. I take pride in what I have accomplished, and envision this accomplishment as an opportunity to improve, as I acknowledge that one's greatest obstacle and enemy is present every time you look in the mirror. I am proud of what I have achieved the last few high school years, due to the fact that it will unlock new paths and doors I never imagined possible to reach. I take pride in these type of accomplishments, that will shorten the gap between my current state and the person I envision myself being.
