My academics have always been important to me. My strong point in academics is math. I find math complicated to understand, yet exceedingly simple to do. I have won a few awards in ACSI Math Competitions in my younger years. Last year, I placed second in the ACSI Math Competition. I learned how to do algebra when I was in 6th grade. At the same time, I enjoy writing and reading as relaxing hobbies and interesting subjects. I have received a few rewards for my writings. The stories I have read in other books inspire me to work harder and to do better things with my life. I have done well in school and I love to learn and to expand my academic horizons.
I like to be accurate in everything I do. I find that it is excruciating that accuracy is not taken into seriously when people are working. When people are rushing and hurrying in their work, they will consequently have mistakes in their daily lives. If I relax, I realize that I am able to concentrate harder and think clearer. You do not rush the things you are doing and if you were going at a steady pace, you are more likely to get the answer correct. I work steadily, but I am so eager to learn more that sometimes I rush myself and make unnecessary mistakes. When I have a mistake or problem, I instinctively try to resolve it as quickly as possible. I cannot continue working if I cannot resolve a problem. It just raises a question in my mind about how could I have mistaken something like that, and I seek the real answer. Since Bergen County Academy is a school of excellence, I will be able test my accuracy among other bright and accurate students.
I am confident in what I say is the right answer so I am sometimes astounded in the fact that my answers are wrong. The reason why I am sometimes shocked to find my answers wrong is because I spend a lot of time looking for my answers. I work very hard for them and check them a few times. Whenever I am wrong however, I always check to see if I am truly wrong. If I am not wrong, however, I gently tell the person that he is mistaken and prove it to him. However, if I am really wrong, then I accept the fact that I was wrong and thank my corrector for informing me of my mistake. I have trust and confidence in my answers, but I am also able to accept correction if it is proven to me. I have learned a lot in my past years, but I know that there are still many things waiting for me to discover in the academic world.
