Overcoming anxiety by Kazia

Overcoming anxiety by Kazia - August 2025 Scholarship Essay

When I look at the upcoming school year I plan to work on managing my anxiety. Going into my senior year with 4 AP classes and doing college applications can be very stressful while also trying to make memories with my friends one final year. My personal goal this year is to get a 5.0 GPA. I think it would be an excellent achievement for myself. I want to be the hardest worker in the room and push myself to get all A’s this school year. While I want to achieve this I want to make sure I stay level headed and calm instead of stressing out because I have many different things on my mind. My motivation for managing my anxiety is to create lasting memories with my class. I want to take advantage of every opportunity that this year presents so I can have fun and spend time with my friends and classmates. I hope to create opportunities with my friends. I have been around my friends and my classmates since 8th grade and I want to be able to cherish every moment with them. My friends are so funny and very caring, and I want to be able to appreciate and enjoy these last couple of months with them without constantly being worried about my academic life and future.
