Sample Answer

I have been very successful in school this year. My dedication to my studies and my involvement in extra activities make me an excellent candidate for the Student of the Year award.

My grades have been outstanding this year, and I have passed all of my exams. In addition, I am taking three clases this semester while also working at a part-time job. I am taking a grammar class, a pronunciation class, and an advanced reading class in order to improve my English skills in several areas.

I’m involved in several school activities, including the Computer Club and a lunchtime study group. I started the study group for people who want to make the most of their time at school. I also meet with a native speaker once a week for one-on-one conversations to improve my speaking skills.

In my free time, I volunteer at a hospital, where I read to children who are sick. I find this work extremely rewarding and feel that it has helped me become a more caring and sensitive person. Other activities I pursue in my free time include photography and hiking.


I am an extremely dedicated student with many interests, and I plan to continue my success by taking more advanced courses next year. I feel I deserve the Student of the Year award based on my academic success and my work helping others both in and out of school.

Find the mistakes:

My last two semesters had been really successful despite I quitted for almost three years and was very difficult to restart, I might say that I can see now how important is to dedicate a 100% to the studies. I’m also working and I’m involved in extra activities.

I can’t complain about my grades this year, they have been really nice but I think I can still make it better. I’m learning Portuguese by myself because I’m looking for the chance to go to Brasil with the agreement between Cibertec and a university in Sao Paulo. I’m doing language exchange with a bunch of Brazilian friends, I help them with Spanish or English and they help me with Portuguese. I think is a dynamic and interesting way to learn new languages.

I have also started working at a craft beer company; I find this work very passionate with so many topics to learn about. It’s a complete new world to me but is so magic and you always learn something new about it.

Also, the past year I have been doing volunteering at a NGO working with trained dogs that help kids with autism. I have been trying to recycle, especially wood or fruit boxes to make them book shelters or tables or flowerpots.

After a I finish my studies I have other ideas to make it happen but so far I think I doing and improving as much as I can all my free time to keep busy and doing or helping. That’s why I think I should deserve the title of Student of the Year based on my extra activities and my actual studies.
