Studying
“Studying led to
better grades
and SAT scores.
Studying in
high school
also prepared me
for college.
Going from
high school
to college is
a big leap.”

future!”

Work!
“RIT was my
first-choice
school. I knew
that I would need
to work hard
to get accepted,
so I put in a lot
of effort during my
senior year to
achieve my goal.
Once I was there,
I had to work to
keep my grades up
and manage
my time.”

Ambition!
I achieved my
college goals through
hard work,
determination,
and most of all,
ambition.
My drive towards
my college goals was
so vast that I always
stayed focused and went
beyond my way in order
to get what I wanted.
Taking advantage of all the
facilities offered by MHS,
I was able to achieve all of
my goals. Today, because
of hard work, drive and
ambition, I am at
Albany College of Pharmacy.”

Determination!
“When I got to RIT
the classes were
fast-paced
and everyone knew
what to do and
where to go.
I felt completely lost.
It’s easy to lose track
of what’s going on.
Through hard work
and determination,
everything you
wish to achieve occurs.
that is how I got through
the first-quarter
and got on the
RIT track and field team.”

Hard Work!
“I had to do a lot
of hard work with
a management team
and my culinary
tech school.
With winning
first-place in the
state competition
and placing 10th in
the nation, I felt that
I had to make it to
the best school.”
Shivani Sharma

Perseverance!
“At college
you need to
understand that
everything isn’t
fun and games.
I put in a lot more
effort now
than I did in
high school, but
my grades aren’t
as high as they
once were.
That is why one
must persevere
and keep
working hard.
A lot of hard work!
“In everything that
I did in
high school, I did
it with the hope
of going to college.
Therefore, I always
tried my best
in all
that I did.”

Counselor!
“My high school
guidance counselor
helped me to achieve
my college goals.
There were times

going to college
after high school.
My counselor
pushed me to
continue and I am
thankful for that
and for where
I am now.”
