2 Personal Profile STUDENT EXAMPLE #1
I am always striving to better myself in all ways possible. To exceed my own high expectations, I must push myself beyond my limits and reach my full potential. I believe such a mindset creates a sense of determination, ambition, and perseverance necessary to succeed in our growing world. I refuse to settle for something if I know I can do better, and I understand that the results I achieve are a direct reflection of who I am and what I stand for. Self-awareness of flaws and imperfections not only motivates Me to improve, but makes me humble as I know gratefulness is a quality that one should always carry. I believe that aside from motivation, you should always be open-minded, as doing so will  influence positive behavior. 

3 Personal Profile STUDENT EXAMPLE #
My name is ___ and my educational integrity currently serves as my top priority. Born into a middle class family, my mother taught me the important fundamentals of treating my academia with the respect it not only deserves, but mandates for a successful future. Aside from my education, I find solace in two activities: researching fashion trends and covering music. Although viewed as an unorthodox area of study, I plan on pursuing fashion design as my major after high school and obtain employment within the fashion industry within a 10 year time period. Further, my passion for music shines when an individual encounters me for the first time – I love to cover songs and play multiple instruments such as the drums, guitar, and piano, and find great joy in serving others in my community through volunteering  and community outreach. I feel that the only way to make the world a better place is through action and service.
