Free Academic Auto Biography Sample

For anyone, the pursuit of education becomes harder as the years go on. As years go by, the classes become harder and the work really becomes hard work. During this time, I know that it is tempting to give up and I have seen some people drop out. Though my academic career has only really begun, I feel as though I have gained valuable insight into myself and my ability to succeed. Through my academic career so far, I have been lucky to have figured out my strengths and focus on them in order to reach my future goals.
/> During high school at Woodstock High School in Georgia, I often stuck to my strengths to the detriment of my other studies. I enjoyed math and science classes more than anything else because they appealed to me. I could also make more sense of those classes as the logic and order fit better with how my mind worked. Conversely, I faced my greatest challenge in English senior year. That class seemed to be the polar opposite of the math and science classes as it involves a less defined process in which there is not always a definite correct answer. This situation discouraged me from putting as much effort into my English classes. Perhaps if I spent more time working with my professors to understand the interpretative skills required to understand the literature, I might have enjoyed English classes more.
Currently, I seem to be facing the same dispositions and challenges which I faced in high school. This semester, I am taking Intro to Robotics, Principles of Computer Science, English 1310, and this freshman seminar. Like before, I am most excited about robotics and computer science because they deal in science and mathematics related fields and I am passionate about both these areas. I feel that the material in these classes may come easier to me than that of other classes. Similarly, I am most concerned about my English class as I feel it will be a repetition of senior year. While I understand that this class is important for my education and future life skills, the mental process involved makes me hesitant. Maybe if I could spend more time attempting to understand the analytical skills required for the class, I might have a more successful semester.
Hopefully, when I do graduate from college, I would like to apply my passion for math and science through a career as a self-employed software programmer. This career will allow me to take advantage of my logical predisposition while also working on the projects that interest me most. However, in order to do this, I will need to successful pass my English classes, not only to earn my degree but also so that I will be better able to express myself in writing. Second, I will need to develop my understanding of computer sciences beyond the basic level so that I may be as qualified as I can upon graduating from college. Without this knowledge, I will not be able to adapt to changing situations and technology. Finally, I need to be willing to push myself to take opportunities and continue my education beyond the base requirements. By doing so, I will be able to handle difficult work that ventures from the realm of my passion and into that of my profession and career.
