A low point this year is when I started my year at Mitty and didn’t have any friends. I struggled to be hopeful because I knew very few people. I didn’t know how to start making friends. I was often alone during passing periods and lunches. I started to talking to different people in my classes. Over time, we became close and I had friends.

I have used my resources and knowledge to solve problems.“The graduate effectively synthesizes new information with prior knowledge.” I have used past knowledge in biology to form hypotheses about the outcomes of experiments. I have learned how to apply my knowledge to problems. I will continue to do this in the future by using my prior knowledge for problem solving in the real world.

God became human in the person of Jesus to teach us how we should live our lives. Jesus taught us to serve others and treat everyone as our equals. I became a Monarch to become a part of the Mitty community. Mitty strives to serve others and follow Jesus’ teachings. At the start of the year, I didn’t know anyone and didn’t have many friends. Over time, I found people who I could talk to and become friends with. I felt that I was accepted and had found my place. I have learned that I am a caring person and will often share with others.

I have respected my peers as well as myself. “The graduate values honesty and integrity.” I have not used resources that would allow me to cheat such as other people or online resources. This has made me more confident in my own abilities and academic integrity.
