Write a short paragraph on what you want to accomplish this school year.

This school year, I have planned to make it a memorable one since this will
be the last year of my high school life. I really want to make the best out of it may it
be in terms of academics, extra-curricular activities or having a strong bond with my
SHS classmates. Unfortunately, this pandemic has ruined some of my plans. But one
thing’s for sure is that I will not let this hinder my goals. The greatest
accomplishment I would like to achieve this school year is to graduate with flying
colors, highest honors to be exact. I believe in this way, I can give back the gratitude
and honor to my family, Alumni scholarship committee, and my scholarship sponsor
who have been my support system emotionally, spiritually and financially. I also
believe that my good performance in school will help me prepare to face the college
life and pass my college entrance tests. It will help me enter my dream university,
which is also an accomplishment I would like to achieve. Lastly, I will arm myself
with courage and knowledge and be a better version of myself this school year.
