My GPA AND HIGH SCHOOL PATH
My current GPA average is 3.35 without counting my AP courses and college classes, I've never had an NP on my final transcript and I don't plan to have one ever. I will make sure that I will never have a NP on my final transcript. I typically get A's and B's sometimes I get C's and the occasional NP but I manage to come back from that and level out my grade. Based on my grades I can qualify for some Merit Scholarships and I could qualify for the CAL Grant A Competitiveness Award, which can cover tuition to California Public Universities . I can also qualify for Need Base Scholarship. I could get admitted into competitive colleges such as Santa Clara University and Concordia University. I could get into some UC's such as University of California Davis, San Diego, Irvine, Santa Barbra, Santa Cruz, and all CSU's including some impacted Universities and any community colleges. The typical test scores that i would get would be 21-24 on my ACT with writing and my SAT reasoning would be between 1300-1700 or better, which I'm hoping for better. I will be really competitive when applying for colleges because I will want to know all the information that I could about future colleges that I could and I will make my application look as good as I possibly could. I am satisfied with the college path that I qualify for. I'm going to become more competitive even though I am already competitive but I'm going to be more.

The Blended Learning for Alliance School Transformation helps me prepare for college because each station is different from another and the stations. The stations simulate activities that will be occurring at college. Independent station teaches me how to depend on myself for work and how to figure out a problem on my own. In college most of the work will be done on our own. The teacher won’t be there to coddle us every step of the way, the professor’s job will be to guide us and give us ideas the rest is on our own. Collaborative station teaches me how to work with others, in college I will have to work with other students even if I hold a personal grudge with them or don’t want to work with them. In real life I will have to work with other people regardless of my feelings or opinion. It’s better to learn how to deal with it in high school where I can correct myself and mistakes earlier on instead on in college were a big mistake can cost me my future.
The education I receive in Burton Tech isn’t just purely just academic, along with academic skills life skills are incorporated with my education. The education here at Burton Tech infuses a lot of elements together, I get taught the basic skills and in a way almost I am depending on myself to teach myself, I am reliable on myself to know I am strong in and play up my strengths. I also have to learn quickly what my weaknesses are and learn how to turn my weaknesses into strengths or find a way to not let my weaknesses get in the way of any success I could reach. Everything we are taught at Burton Tech has a purpose, we don’t get taught anything that does not have a purpose to help in in college and in the real working world.
My GPA and my high school path are good right now and there is still time for improvement. Though given my current high school path things in college will not be as difficult as they could be if I was on a worse high school path with a below than average grade point average. Even though I’m on a okay or good I want to be on a great or spectacular high school path that makes me a example of what I successful college student could look like. To get to that point I will keep up with my studies and school work. The main focus won’t be just purely on academics but on extra curricular activities as well. The extra curricular activities will make my college resume look nicer and it will get me more active in school events as well as make me a more social person, which is something that I need to work on.
After reviewing the interview that I conducted with the teacher I saw a lot of little errors that could have been prevented. Some examples were posture, eye contact, pronunciation, enunciation, and preparation. Some of my questions didn’t look prepared as if I just came in with nothing ready. I actually enjoyed conducting the interview, but for the future references I will be on the receiving end of the interview process. I should have prepared more so I would have appeared more professional. The skills that i used and could have used during the interview were some life skills that could come in handy if I mastered them. The teacher I interviewed was Ms. Byerly, she gave me some first hand accounts on her college experience such as what influenced her choices to go to one college instead of another. She gave me some insight on how difficult it was to make all of her choices for college. Ms. Byerly also gave me information on college life, the real truth not the college brochure version. The teacher I interviewed gave me some things to think about and to hold into consideration while choosing where I want to go and what I want to major in. Her first hand experience did help me a bit.
