I have a few things I am really proud of, especially since I am only in the High School Class of 2028, which means I will graduate in a few years. Since we are from different parts of the world, I should explain that in the United States, we use a K-12 structure for school, where kids usually go from age 5 to 18.
One of my biggest achievements is being inducted into the National Honor Society, or NHS. This is a big deal in American schools because it is a nationwide organization that recognizes students who are good at their studies, show leadership, help their community, and have a good character. I was also officially classified as Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted, which we call AIG, specifically in Mathematics.
I am also very proud of the work I have done for my future career in elementary education. I have been writing a Personal, Educational, and Pedagogical Manifesto, which I call my P.E.P. Manifesto, since I was 11 years old. It is a document where I explain my ideas for how schools should work, including a framework I created called the Magister Butler Method. As part of this, I even became an education advocate on Instagram to share my ideas with others.
Finally, I am proud of the small ways I try to help my peers. I recently organized an initiative at my school where I made daily announcements about mental health awareness to support other students during their big exams. I believe it is important to look out for each other, and I used my own personal quote, "Let the Storm Go, or You Will Drown in It," to encourage people to let go of past pain so they can move forward.
P.S. If I block you, there is a reason I blocked you and I don’t need to explain that reason to you. I will block you without saying anything since I don’t need to explain my reasoning but the reason will usually be either age or gender.
