My name is Mario Tobias and I'm currently a 17-year-old junior at YES Prep Eisenhower. I was born on October 20, 2001 in Austin, Texas and I have been living in Houston for 16 years of my life so far. Both of my parents came to the United States when they were around my age, and have raised five children, including myself, throughout their 18-year marriage. As I'm writing this, I hope to apply to Texas State University where I will then attend medical school upon graduating college. This will not only be an accomplishment for myself and my parents, but it will also serve as inspiration for my siblings and perhaps my children if I decide to have any in the future.]]> 2019-04-18 18:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mariot53861/8uj8tu7v7033/wish/352636164 mariot53861 https://padlet.com/mariot53861/8uj8tu7v7033/wish/352690292 Long range goals is the ability to plan ahead of time to avoid not meeting deadlines or expectations. This is a strength of mine because I'm always making sure I plan my week in accordance to what I'm asked to do so I don't end up feeling overwhelmed last minute. The image below shows that I've mastered this skill because it shows my ability to keep track of everything I have to do in a certain amount of time and not feel behind. The step that I've taken to get to this point is simple yet efficient for me - I write everything I have due either that week or the following week on a sticky note on my laptop. By me getting into the habit of doing this before entering college, I'm allowing myself to stay organize and not miss any deadlines. ]]> 2019-04-19 00:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mariot53861/8uj8tu7v7033/wish/352690292 mariot53861 https://padlet.com/mariot53861/8uj8tu7v7033/wish/352694746 Non-traditional knowledge is gaining knowledge from outside sources outside of school. This is a strength for me because I'm a very curious person who likes learning about things that happen both within and outside the country. The image below shows that I've mastered this skill because I personally find it important to get to know what's happening around us and not be oblivious to what other people around the world are going through. The step that I've taken to master this skill is by watching the news, videos, and reading articles of things that I find either interesting or important to acknowledge. Doing this before college will make me go into college with an open mind and therefore be more willing to get exposed to the unfamiliar and/or unspoken. ]]> 2019-04-19 01:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mariot53861/8uj8tu7v7033/wish/352694746 mariot53861 https://padlet.com/mariot53861/8uj8tu7v7033/wish/352697977 Strong support system is the ability to admit that you need help and reaching out for assistance when needed. This is a weakness of mine because I've never been the type of person who likes telling other people what I'm feeling or thinking. I tend to keep it to myself because to be honest, not a lot of people care to listen to someone who's being all "depressed". The image below demonstrates growth because it's rare whenever I do let my emotions out to someone. The step that I took to get to this point is being able to admit that I have problems and that I shouldn't have them all bottled in me. Developing a strong support system skill helps me be more college ready because it makes me more vocal when it comes to expressing my thoughts/opinions.
