Getting into the high school I wanted to is a big accomplishment of mine. Both my parents and my middle school friends all helped me study for the TACHS test and made sure I was remotely calm the day I took it.

ReplyDeleteOne accomplishment I am proud that I accomplished was the accomplishment of winning the presidential election in my middle school. This was a heavy task because I had just entered the school and was not well-known. My family members helped me by granting me confidence as well as financially supporting my campaign. My mom bought me pencils that wrote "Vote 4 Madison" as well as notebooks that read "Madison 4 President". She also bought cupcakes for me to hand out to voters. I am tremendously thankful for this because it helped to gain me popularity as well as votes. While my opponents were handing out candy, I went outside the box and won! For my mom and my family's encouragement I am eternally grateful.

I was really bad at the beginning of the year, but now, I'm much better at it and they're having me play goalie next season. Someone that has really helped me during the soccer season is my senior sister Shannon. She is the one who convinced me to try out in the first place, and every time I put myself down when I did something wrong she encouraged me and said I was getting better. I want to keep playing soccer because of her, and I am extremely thankful for all of the help she has given me throughout the soccer season and the school year.
