Senior English Brag Sheet

I. How would you characterize your academic performance? Have you found an area of academic focus (arts, technology education, business education, mathematics, etc.? Have you participated in any academic opportunities such as dual-credit courses? BYA? How have you grown as a student? 

                 My academic performance has been good because I've gotten almost all A's or B's with a few C's.  I've mostly focused on art classes, however I have found some interest in social studies classes such as Anthropology and Philosophy.  I would say that I've grown as a student because I used to always focus on art but now I've gotten better with English, Spanish, and social studies courses.

II. Describe your extra-curricular involvement, including any leadership positions you may hold or may have held.

                     

III. Describe your work experience. Where? How long? Responsibilities? Promotions? What experience have you gained from your work?

               As of now, my work experience includes babysitting, shoveling snow, and mowing the lawn.  These jobs have taught me the work and responsibility that goes into caring for small children, and mowing the lawn and shoveling have taught me more about keeping things consistent. 

IV. List and describe any volunteer experiences you have had.

           A group of churchgoers and I once completely cleaned the kitchen at the church that I formerly attended. 

V. Describe your interests.

               Most of my interests involve art such as drawing and painting, but there is a writing component to my interests as well.  I also enjoy reading and spending time with my dad by watching sports or comedies. 

VI. What are you really good at? Or how is one of your skills/talents evident in something else you do? Use a specific example of something you have done where this skill/talent is evident.

        The things that I am really good at are painting and drawing, which require a lot of patience and discipline.  Those skills are useful when we need to make a poster as a project for school.  For example, in English 10 the students had to create a character with a background to it.  I created a funny-looking hobo character that lived in the forest on the outskirts of a town.  Classmates commented on how "it could be a Simpson's character" and I got an A on it. 

What four (4) words would you choose to DESCRIBE yourself (and your personality; explain WHY):

          Artistic because I have and still do devote a lot of time and effort into getting to a higher level of artistry.  Creative because I tend to come up with rather odd cartoon characters and interesting concepts that are translated into written word.  Determined because when I get started on a piece of work that I am interested in, I don't want to stop until I've finished.  And finally, entertaining because I can usually get a laugh out of just about anyone that I meet.

If I or anyone else were to write a RECOMMENDATION for you, what would you definitely want said about you?
          If someone wrote a letter of recommendation for me, I would definitely want that person to explain my hard work ethic and how I get things done on time. 

Is there anything unusual about your life experiences that you would want included in a recommendation?
