Three years ago I was at a High School baseball game, one of the families there was an ex major league ball player and they had 3 sons. One of there kids is authistic and only 3 years old. While Haden was standing in line waiting to play on the jungle gym a young boy came over and pushed him down and told Haden you act weird and your not normal so I'm going to pick on you. Haden ran over to his mother crying and he tried to explain what happened but it wasn't going anywhere. So I walked over there and explained to Mrs. Guthrie what had happened. Everytime I think of this action it replays in my head that this young boy will never be able to do the things I can do. He has every problem in the world when it comes to understanding and he doesn't complain. He cant do the things I can do in life. Which means I should have no excuses. This little boy and his family are always going to have a hard life. My life is easy compared to his. .

No, my record will help me with the career that I have chosen. II. Have you passed the FCAT? Yes every time I have taken it. Have you taken the ACT or SAT? Yes SAT scored 1250.

Yes I have researched the schools by touring them, reading pamphlets, and reviewing the school over the internet. How are you going to pay for it? Parents and I have it all under control.

Almost everyone can receive financial help for post secondary training. You may qualify based upon financial need or grades; however, your parents must be willing to fill out the FAFSA (financial aid application based on tax returns), and they must be legal American citizens. Private scholarships are available that do not depend on citizenship. For instance, you can receive scholarships if you are the first in your family to attend.

**__Enthusiasm Essay__ __TYLOR GALOMB__** Knowledge is the most important aspect that nobody can ever take away from you. In order to be successful and make it in life you need to be enthusiastic about learning. People who are enthusiastic about learning will have a successful future and that is based on how well you do in High School and in College. Being enthusiastic about what your learning in class will definitely help you more with getting into the subject and providing you with visual representations of your classwork. People that are enthusiastic about learning usually join clubs, after school activities, and may even go for after school tutoring in order to better themselves over their opponents.

So far in my 3 years of High School, I have learned that I’m enthusiastic with my grades, FBLA, baseball, and future classes that will prepare me best for college. I’m steadily preparing myself to become an Accountant after college along with entering a life in finance and stocks. When it comes to learning, my favorite subjects would be math and accounting followed by history and English, with science in the end. I’m enthusiastic about FBLA and will be an officer next year for my district. My father started to get me enthusiastic about finance and accounting 4 years ago, but before that, I really didn’t know what my future was to hold. Over time, I have learned that financial advisors and accountants run all the corporations and companies around the world. Without them, money would be nothing but one big problem.

I have noticed that when kids including myself are enthused in a certain topic, they learn more and faster. Students stay intrigued more often without dozing off or being completely bored. However, most students aren’t able to be enthusiastic about all their subjects each day. Mostly because, students are enthused in classes that they do better in and actually enjoy. Those students that can’t stand a certain class are the ones that don’t care and will be quitters and will never make anything of themselves in the world. In order to be successful, you need to try in every subject. Those subjects that don’t come as easy to you are the ones you need to stay awake and strive to do better with some extra work in order to get an A. Another way the students can act enthusiastic about is how the teacher reacts to the lesson. It’s their job in my opinion to keep the student enthused about what they are teaching. Those teachers are considered the great ones, the ones who know how to run a classroom discussion and also make sure that everyone stays involved in the assignment that their being taught.

Accounting can be a long and dull subject to most people. It takes a lot to being an Accountant in this world especially since the economy is in such a bad shape over the past 10 years. Wall Street had its first fully functional and positive yearly revenue 2 years ago since September 11th. However, this doesn’t produce any evidence that the world is getting better. All it proves is that the stock market is slowly on the rise and hopefully our economy will increase with it. Accounting takes a lot of work with many confusing journals, ledgers, and financial bookeeping. Thus far in High School, I have taken Accounting 1 and 2 and will be taking Accounting 3 next year before going into college and being ahead of the rest of my fellow classmates. Southeast is one of a very few High Schools in the state of Florida that teaches Accounting to students pre college. That being said, "when I go to college I’ll be in Accounting classes with older students who have a lot more experience than that of the average college freshmen."
