Essay On Myself

Walking into my fifth grade classroom for the millionth time, I searched around the room to see if there was anyone like me. A girl with chocolate skin. For as long as I can remember, I was the only one in my grade, ever since I started school. But this did not mean I did not have friends. Caterina and I were best friends that year. She was from Venezuela, had white olive skin with long blonde hair, and light eyes. One school day, when we were walking to P.E., she said to me "I like your hair because it stays in place." A little taken back, I was not sure if this a compliment or not, but I said thank you anyway. Her comment had stayed with me for the rest of the day. I began to wonder why my hair grew the way it did and if I could change it. This was, thus the beginning of my insecurities. Going to school every few months with a different hairstyle would raise a few questions for my classmates. Different styles,such as, box braids and marley twists, would change my attitude because I no longer looked the way I felt most of the time, ugly. But because I knew my look was only temporary, I did my best not to draw attention to myself. As I advanced grades, I always hoped there would be someone like me. Not necessarily student. After fifth grade, I figured I might as well conquer eighth grade alone. It would at least be nice to have a teacher to talk to about when I get angry about each day instead of keeping everything bottled up. A person "... to vent [my] frustrations,

I was born fourteen years ago and I have acquired many qualities in those fourteen years. One is I like to see myself as a very relatable person who many people can talk to. Many of my friends tell me that I am very relatable and a very honest person who says their honest opinion, which I can only agree with. Another word I hear a lot from my friends is that I am a chill, also known as relaxed or easy going. Listening to my friends is another good quality I believe I have. I can always sense when something isn't right. I believe I am also fairly good at judging people's character, so I think in some way that saves me from hanging out with bad people and also knowing which ones are the good ones. Adapting is another thing I am good at because of the many times I have moved. That also helps me get good at making friends all kinds of places, even in different countries. I get told a lot that I have a lot of friends and honestly I'm not totally sure how I have become friends with so many people. But I am not complaining. Most of my friends also say I am trustworthy and cool. Another thing I get told a lot is that I am hilarious. I mean I can just say the simplest things and my friends will laugh. All of these qualities are qualities that I like about myself but I also feel that many of my friends have the same traits. I like to hangout around people who remind me of myself. Most of my friends are funny and kind. They are all trustworthy and of course very cool. My friends are

What You Know About Yourself

Some students have an identity, an interest, or talent that defines them in an essential way. If you are one of these students, then tell us about yourself.

Growing up I was a kid that loved to try out all kinds of things ( and still do ), that I knew nothing about, though some people thought I was wired because of it. Such as wanting to play field sports, art, skating, ice skating, hockey at one point, music, and the list goes on because the more I learn about these activities I never knew about, the more I wanted to try and see if I have a talent for it or not. Though my siblings would make fun of me saying that my only talent was reading, sleeping, and being weird, but I eventually provide them wrong when I...show more content...

So basically I found one thing that I could have done as one of my many talents and two that I found that I have little talent in, even though I still love soccer very much. Then I went on to Gaston Middle School, it was the place where did I track, volleyball, softball,and almost basketball, though I was never fond of it to begin with. Yet, with the other sports I was actually pretty good at them, but not that good with softball, I got so nervous one game because of the preacher I fealty all around me, making me freeze in place, causing the whole team to lose the game and me not playing in anymore games because of that one time misshapen. But what was most important to me was the fact that I got to be in Orchestra the type of music I wanted do since elementary school has finally came to me,and on that day I became the happiest girl there in that classroom full of beautiful string instruments. The teacher who teaches for that class was named miss Powers and she was a awesome music teacher, I still miss her till this day every time a play missing instrument, I also did art too, but I was not in it as long as I

Personal Profile How do I see myself? In the business world, interaction is necessary especially if I want to be an effective employee. By learning about myself, understanding my needs, and knowing how other people see me, I am able to recognize my skills and abilities, which leads to best determining what jobs fits me the most and how to work effectively and efficiently. After completing all the assessments in "Self–Assessment Library" by Stephen P. Robbins, I find myself to be a sociable person on both the advancement and receiving end. I love interacting with people and listening to them. Moreover, I like it when people give me feedback over what I have done as opposed to asking for opinions over ideas. I work well in teams since I am a free spirit who indulges with anyone. Compared to other people from my country, Saudi Arabia, my English language skills are very good and are quite an asset when it comes to the research writing. Since childhood, creation was an aspect of awe to me, the ability to picture ways of improvement and sustenance were always an intriguing factor to me. I lead through experience and actual practice. I am not actually a follower but I prefer a very interactive team that is full of practical ideas since I usually take initiative to follow through. I am good at organizing things since people's reaction always matter to me and I always want to impress them. I work towards that through the engagement of personal trials and errors; thus, I get a

As a child, I had no help from my parents when it came to school work. My mom worked as a field worker and my dad as a truck driver, I normally saw them around 8 at night, they came home exhausted and prepared for another early day for work. My parents lacked skills I was being taught at school and no experience speaking English. Consequently I had no one to rely on for help on homework and had no older sibling or anyone else around to help me out. Learning how to read and write properly was difficult, Spanish had been my first language. I learned how to become independent. No one was there to pick me up from volleyball and softball practice, I had to walk across town by myself in order to get home. Getting my homework done and getting to practice by myself became normal. As a child it took me a couple of hours trying to figure out my homework. I had to pay attention to everything I was being taught and ask for extra help in class in order to do any sort of work given to me. In second grade, I had trouble writing sentences with new vocabulary words, despite my parents efforts to help me I struggled for hours working on these assignments. I constantly read books to improve my English....show more content... Being independent as a young child had been extremely difficult, I had no idea how to work on my own. I would use any and every resource I had to help me get through assignments. Learning a new language was difficult, I was only able to practice speaking and writing in English at school. My whole life it was always a matter of being capable to figure everything out for myself knowing no one was available. As I grew older I began finding ways to make improvements by getting together with friends who were able to

This class has taught me a lot about myself in such a brief period of time. I never thought I could dig as deep as I did, and have a better understanding of who I am as a person just by writing a single essay. I was not expecting the amount of self–awareness that I gained through this class. I really enjoyed the hermit crab essays, because they really guided me to find my true feelings. It was hard for me to get started writing at first and then once I got started, it was almost impossible to stop. I love the feeling that I am in control of what I am writing and there are no restrictions and that I can be vulnerable in my writing. This class really helped me show the vulnerable side of who I am. I was sometimes moved to tears while I was writing because, I realized things about myself that I never thought to be true before. I would get so excited that I would read it to my boyfriend, family and friends. This class was in no way easy, but it was definitely worth it for many reasons. I learned how to become a better writer, I learned about myself as a person, and I constructed pieces of writing that I didn't know I was capable of. Some assignments became easier as time went on because I became a stronger writer. However, I think the hardest one for me was having to write about the room I was in. It didn't interest me because it didn't help me dig deeper into my feelings or anything of that matter. I also didn't enjoy having to respond to different pieces of writing, because it Get

What is intimacy? This may be just one question, but it comes with a multitude of different answers. When I looked it up on Google, this is what I found: "close familiarity or friendship; closeness" and "a private cozy atmosphere" and also "an intimate act, especially sexual intercourse." Intimacy is looked at in many different viewpoints. If you think of intimacy with a friend, you may think of the closeness aspect, while intimacy with a partner could be defined as physical, especially sexual.

First of all this paper is going to be written in a diary form. There will be three main sections that I will address to my past, present, and future self. I am writing to my past self in order to reflect on the events in my life that have already shaped who I am currently and to contemplate where my life would be if I had made alternative decisions. Overviewing and self–reflecting upon your past can often point out mistakes that you made and prevent you from making them in the future.

The section in which I write to my present self will be filled with the ongoing struggles, important events, and decisions that I have made recently. It will point out the difficulties and harmonies that I may have with my boyfriend, friends, and family members, and find solutions on how to overcome these issues that I am dealing with.

The section to my future self will include situations that may approach someday in the near or distant future. I will write about how I can use the lessons and Get more content

Reflecting On Myself I have grown over the past semester as a student in ENG–111, and in all of my other classes because I learned so much about writing papers. I was pretty much forced to participate in class discussions as they were for grades but I am thankful that I had to do the discussions. My performance in English in general has improved because of all of the things that I have learned this year in class. ENG–111 is the class that helped me the most in transitioning from high school to college. The processes that I have learned throughout the semester are processes that will defiantly help me in the future. I think that my participation in class was alright, I am not one for talking to the class in a big discussion, but I definitely came out of my shell a little bit. I was always in class on time everyday, this is a big pet peeve of mine and I make sure that I am always on time to anything that I do. Every day before I left my house to come to school, I would make sure that I had everything that I needed for classes that day, everyday. I made sure that I am always prepared for class because if I wasn't, what was the point of even going to class that day? The only area that I think I can really improve on is class discussions. I am a shy person in general and don't really do well in that kind of atmosphere. I am really going to work on being able to speak in front of people because I have realized that I am going to have to do it more and more through out my Get

Narrative Essay Kindergarten

All I wanted when I was little was to have beautiful long hair. All of my dolls had hair down to their waist , and I longed to have hair like them. Unfortunately for me, my hair did not grow very fast... at all. I was practically bald until I was three; and my hair was only about to my chin when I was ready to start kindergarten. So there I was, on my first day at Foreign Language Academy. I was in SeГ±ora Vargas's Kindergarten class holding on to my mom, dreading the moment she would have to leave. I had been really excited about starting school and getting to wear my navy blue dress and my hellokitty backpack. Actually being in the classroom, however, incredibly nerve racking. Most of the parents were mingling and asking questions to the teacher, while the kids tried to find their place. Some kids had already began to play games with one another. Others, like me, were more shy, still clinging to their parent. In all the commotion, I noticed a girl who had the longesthair in the entire class of kindergartners. She looked a lot like me except she had freckles, a pink cast on her arm, and the hair I had ever seen. Her hair was the same color as mine, but about triple the length, and with more curl in it. Jealousy immediately swept over me. It seemed like this girl had everything I had ever wished for in my entire life. I also thought casts were really cool at that time because I did not really understand that broken bones hurt, or that you couldn't really move

MY SELF AS A LEARNER

Kyle R. Pace Bellevue University Abstract

The importance of knowing yourself as a learner is to know your strengths and areas you can improve. After taking the MBTI assessment, I found out that I am an ISFJ personality. ISFJ personality stands for Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. I always thought I was a tactile learner, however after taking the (What 's Your Learning Style? 20 Questions) assessment, I found out that I am a visual learner. It's also good to know the location in which you focus the best, to retain all the information you learn to the best of your capability. . Upon completing the Study Environment Analysis, I found that the perfect study environment for me is in my kitchen at the table, because this area is neat, clean and has the least distractions. All of these assessments have been very informational for me in both my personal and professional life. This is going to better me as a student by providing me the best learning experience possible for my degree and for any courses that I take for my career. I can incorporate these skills in my professional life and this will be able to provide more for my employees than I have been able to do before. Myers

Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science.Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future. I can remember in high school, it seemed like I was always one of the last students finished with a test. I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions...show more content... I have discovered some interesting things I have noticed in myself before taking this course. For example, my learning style I have noticed is the visual learning style.

With this, I prefer to see and read information to full gain comprehension. If I forget the data, or not clearly understand it the first time read, I have the option of reading it over. I do not always trust myself to absorb all information the first time around. I take a lot of notes to look at. Notes help me remember even though I may not read the again, I can refer to them in my mind after writing them down. I am not sure if just anyone reading them would get anything out of it, but at least I know what they mean. I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted it as my very own. I am not sure if changing it this late in life is such a good idea. I have got by this far, it must work out for me. I have identified my personality style as being extroverted, one who becomes easily energized by others, and outwardly expressing thoughts as long as I am fully understanding context and material being discussed. If I have no idea what is being addressed, I am better of keeping quiet to save myself from

Reflection About Myself

After some time of reflecting over myself and characterizing my own self, I have came up with a few characteristics of myself. These characteristics are words I feel can be used to describe myself. The characteristics I have chosen are trustworthy, optimistic, and independent. I find myself to be a pretty trustworthy person. I have been a person that people have been able to come to me with a problem and ask for advice. I can also keep secrets pretty well. An example of something that can contradict me being a trustful person is when I have to lie to someone to keep someone's secret. An example of this is when I had to lie to my dad that my mom was out of town. My parents are divorced and my dad lives about an hour away from Smithville. My mom had to go out of town for a work trip. Since it was during the week, my mom did not want us to have to go to my dads because it would be tough to get back and forth to school. We also knew that my dad would be stubborn and persistent about having us stay at his house. So in conclusion, my Grandma came and watched us while my mom was out of town and I told my dad that she would be home. This trait did not really start to form until the beginning of my Freshman year. A lot of my traits started last year because up until then, well, I as well as my other classmates have not really been in an environment where the level of maturity is much higher than what we are accustomed to. I find optimistic a word to describe me well because I am Get more

I don't consider myself a very good writer. I write when I am made to or when I have something that I need to say that I can't just tell someone. I keep a diary. Usually my diary is just a record of what I have done that day. It's not so much about my feelings. I don't really like talking about my feelings, usually because most of the time I am confused about what exactly I am feeling. I tend to keep the feelings that I do have to myself, to protect myself from getting hurt.

When I started my high school, I found my current best friend, Marie. We are still friends to this day; she just left for college at George Mason. So once again I'm not with my best friend. I'm not trying to make my life all depressing because it hasn't been all bad. And I realize that people have had things a lot worse happen to them, in their lives, and I should be thankful for what I have. But no matter what I have I just never seem truly happy. I always have this front up, and it seems like everything is going great, but deep inside, I'm falling apart. This comes out in my writing, and I think that writing is a good release from all of this. I always try to do my best when it comes to my class work and my writing, but I know that my writing isn't the best by any means. I always find it important to the best job that I can do, on school work and also in life. I think that a lot of what got me through writing papers in middle and high school was my mom. She was so great about reading over and correcting my papers. She stayed up many nights doing that for me. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to help me. There were so many other things she could have been doing, but instead she was helping me, and that means a lot to me. I'm kind of nervous about doing this all on my own. I'm excited thought o see what I can do on my own. I am so excited about starting new here, with a clean slate. I think that

How can one truly know who they are? It takes years of experience to understand yourself; your likes, your dislikes, your abilities, and your passions. Sometimes society will agree with these things, and sometimes it won't. Self–identity is the result of trial and error in terms of resistance to the cultural norms of one's society, and the lessons learned through such resistance, as demonstrated in Munro's An Ounce of Cure and Boyle's Greasy Lake.

An Ounce of Cure tells the story of a teenage girl, whom remains unnamed throughout the entire story, who was brought up in a small town where drinking was frowned upon, thinking that she was never good enough for her family. She had her heart broken by a boy at school and became depressed over...show more content...

Alice Munro demonstrates the learning of oneself through the resistance to society via the girl in An Ounce of Cure. Although she knew it wasn't a good idea, and that her parents and community wouldn't approve of her drinking if they found out, she resisted that cultural norm and did it anyway. By drinking too much and getting drunk to the point of being physically sick, she learns that it was not the best idea. By the social consequences of the rumours spread across her town afterwards, she suffers loneliness and learns that the boy who started her depression in the first place was not worth the embarrassment, nor the experience itself. Munro depicts a teenage girl growing up; learning about herself and coming to terms with who she is. The girl learns that alcohol (and pills) are not the solution to a broken heart, and that her time was wasted being miserable over a boy who dumped her. Greasy Lake depicts the story of a young man, also without a name, who tried to build a reputation for himself as a "dangerous character" (p. 33), much like many other young men of the era. He did many things he considered 'bad', such as wearing torn–up leather jackets and sniffing glue. It was popular for the people of his crowd to take their parents cars to Greasy Lake, a local hangout for young adults which was in all reality just a dumpy murky pond. One night, the boy and his two friends Get

There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly right–brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and...show more content...

I find that I can only recall long–term memories if they are important to me, or if they are dramatic experiences. A few examples of my childhood memories are my mother reading to me, my grandfather playing his guitar, and my dad relentlessly teaching me how to ice skate, no matter how many times I fell. The people who affect my social life the most are my family and friends. I have an extremely close family that has played a major role in my life. They are whom I spend most of my spare time with. My family usually gathers every weekend for dinner. I am also very open to different religions, cultures, and practices because I know many people with different backgrounds and beliefs. Since I've been influenced by various people, I've learned at a very young age to never judge people by how they look, dress, feel, or act. I am very fortunate to have learned these lessons, because many people still do not understand the importance of accepting differences. In a group, I prefer to listen to what others have to say, and then contribute to the discussion. I try to listen so I am able to compare them to my own thoughts. I enjoy working in a group, because it gives everyone an opportunity to incorporate their own ideas. My social self is most greatly influenced by my family and friends. I believe that my spiritual self is the most important out of the three. Although I have a certain religion that I belong to and practice, I believe in a bit of

Tell me a little bit about yourself. (Inspiration: Consider what brings you to the program, the roles you identify with in your life, education & work experience, hobbies and interests, etc). I like to think I'm very outgoing and ambitious. My mom always tells people about how when I was much younger, and when she took me out grocery shopping I'd always smile and say hello to anyone who walked by, I think that says a lot about my personality. My high school highly recommended that everyone took a cooperative program before they graduated. This was the opportunity I had been waiting for! Finally, I would be able to have the chance to gather some actual career experience in something I've wanted to do for as long as I could remember, it was my dream job! It was being a kindergarten teacher. From my very first day at my placement, I managed to fall in love with every single aspect. After my placement I set out on my path to further my education. I applied to all my top universities. I was very fortunate enough to be accepted into all of them. However, when I delved further into researching the certain programs that I had applied to, my options slowly dwindled. It was either too expensive and completely unrealistic, or the program wouldn't lead me down the path of working in a preschool. However, there was still my last option: at a University all the way in Windsor, a few minute drive away from Detriot– yeah it was far. Although, the program was great. Concurrent Get

1.I consider myself a feminist because I believe in empowering all women. According to the lecture on the importance of language, a feminist is a person, regardless of gender, who believes in the equality and importance of all women in society. I am a feminist because I continue to educate myself to become more self–aware of the danger of sexism and inequality that threatens women's rights.

2.Sexism is wrong because it discriminates against people because of their gender. Women are the main group who suffers against sexism. It is safe to say that all women have confronted sexism. According to the article "Individual and Situational Factors Related to Young Women's Likelihood of Confronting Sexism in Their Everyday Lives", sexism is harmful to women because they experience a higher rate in stress, anxiety, and depression. In addition, exposure to gender discrimination leads to a lower rate of achievement among various areas. Overall sexism prevents women from achieving to their fullest potential. Despite how damaging sexism is to society, it remains to exist. According to the article, "Why It's So Hard for Men to See Misogyny", the reason why most men are unable to clearly see sexism is because they are not paying attention, are purposely ignoring it, or are simply careful in hiding their sexist thoughts and actions. I believe sexism has not been abolished because many people, particularly men, are not able to recognize the signs. People tolerate or ignore sexist language

The Importance of Self

For many centuries people have been trying to find answers to questions concerning the reason for their existance and the meaning of self. Questions such as: 'What is the meaning of I? Where does the idea of self come from?' pose many arguments in our society. Many philospophers tried to find solutions to these questions yet it seems that those questions are much more complex than we perceive them and are not fully explainable. One of the most famous philosophers, Descartes, spend much time analyzing human existance and the idea of self. Even though his solutions are questionable to certain extend, he provides us with helpful knoweledge on how to approach this complex matter of self. The matter of ...show more content...

We are able to think critically and distinguish ideas from each other. Yet these ideas are not always stable and well–understood. As Descartes proposes the self is filled with images that might appear true yet in reality are nothing but a false images created by our senses. The self has the ability to understand the world outside and decide for itself which images are true and which are false. Before making a decision the self or I uses reason to establish the possible outcome and see if it will benefit the self. We do everything to satisfy the self. Ourmind is designed especially to fulfill the wishes, sometimes unnecessary, to make ourselves feel better. Intellingece we posses, helps us find a right place for the self in this world. The decisions we make based on our desires to please the self are not always beneficial and ethical. Many times we place certain unimportant values above other more helpful and correct ones in order to fulfill temporary desires. The self is satisfied for a short period of time until the conscience takes over and analyzes the situation again. Every choice taken has a consequences on ourselves; either a good or bad. Our understanding of world through our senses could be very deceiving. Our senses deceive our self and impose on us certain values and beliefs which otherwise would not come up. The urges to do

Me Myself and Personality Traits When asked to describe myself I never know what to say, but I should know myself the best, right? I like to look at myself as a genuine, thoughtful young lady. I'm a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to get to this point of my life and working even harder to get to the successful and graduate part of my life. I care more for some others than I do myself but I have a huge nonchalant attitude. I don't really show anger or sadness much I always smile because I'm optimistic about life. I look at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can't take it back so just move–on and improve what you did wrong if it's possible....show more content...

I was taught to be caring and thoughtful; I wasn't taught anything else from anyone other than not to trust people. I'm the odd ball of my family because I am nothing like anyone. I can say I was also taught to believe in myself and never down myself because I can accomplish anything. That is shown through my determination and hard work because if I didn't believe in myself I wouldn't try as hard. Last but not all, Humanistic approach sums up my personality a little more than psychodynamic does because it involves nature vs. nurture and that kind of sums it up just saying that. Environment and Heredity is kind of the main reasons of my attitudes and actions. In the article, Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Briggs conducts different forms of psychotherapy techniques to prove whether things in an adolescent's life effect different adolescents differently. His study was a success and proved that many adolescents have different interpretations on the same issue. He read them off different problems and wanted to see how they would interpret them. He used children in the age groups of 12–17 and it worked out. I think that the different approaches can be brought together in some circumstances but in my case it doesn't. My personality makes more sense coming from the humanistic approach. Briggs, Stephen (2010). Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Adolescents and Young Adults.

School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one–third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now. I was accused of cheating for the first time when I was seven years old. It was during the term final where the performance of the test indicates all the progress the student had made throughout the semester, so its importance was never over emphasized.

Through soccer I was able to meet some of my most loyal friends. We would often get together and play soccer against other classes. The school required a test for admission, so the competition was getting fierce. The teachers focused a lot on our academics and tried to squeeze as much time as they can from us to study. As the result, we were not allowed to play soccer during our free time because it hinders us from studying. Maybe it is human tendency to break laws, but the gang of us didn

в„ўt want to conform to that rule so sneaking a soccer ball to school and keep it away from the teachers became an everyday challenge. It was amazing the kind of ideas we came up with for this task. Soccer added spices into my otherwise boring school life, and it served as a channel between me and my fellow classmates. Through soccer we found a common ground, that we were able to know each other more and support each other no matter what happens. It gave us a sense of unity, and it was very important to me. Even now I cherish the pact I had with them back then– the support that helped me to stay on the right track during my rebel teenage years. My homeroom teacher at the time had the most impact on me than any other mentors I had. People say

I find it extremely tough to talk about myself and my personal traits. In order for me to dIscuss who I am in an accurate manner then I must provide some basic background information on myself and talk about the Environment I grew up in. This way people can get a better understanding of why I am the way I am. My Background is so essential In making me myself because If I had been born under any different circumstances or grew up any differently I would be a different person than I am today. I was born inAberdeen Scotland but raised in Fort Bend County Texas. Aberdeen and Fort Bend both have great opportunities but differ in many ways. One way in which they differ is that Fort Bend is very culturally diverse while in Aberdeen most of...show more content...

Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them. Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities. One Opportunity I had as a child was participating in taekwondo. I did taekwondo until I reached a blackbelt which took years of hardwork and dedication. I had to memorize forms, Spar with other competitors and break boards in order to continue to move up to the next level. Taekwondo also helped keep me in good shape and fit when I was younger. Another Opportunity I am grateful for is the skill of playing the piano. At first I was not all that enthusiastic about playing it but my parents has signed me up and insisted I

The Self Every situation that an individual is exposed to throughout life, helps mold our "self." As humans we have the ability to see ourselves from the outside, and all through life we try to see what others see and our "self" revolves around the generalized other. We observe how others perceive us and we make conclusions depending on our observations. How we act around others depends on the image we feel they have towards us.

Charles Horton Cooley, a symbolic interactionist, concluded that our sense of "self" develops from interactions with others. Cooley described this process as the...show more content...

On the other hand if you see yourself as an individual who can communicate without a problem and you see that you can keep others interested in a given conversations, your reaction is more positive. Through this looking– glass self we develop a "self" concept. Depending on the observations we make concerning the reactions of others we develop feelings and ideas about ourselves. The reflection we see in the mirror is either negative or positive depending on the feedback we get back from those around us. Misjudgments of the reactions of others become part of our "self" concept also the misinterpretations of how others think of us. Self concepts begins in childhood but it continues to develop throughout life. As we observe how other people react to us, we modify our "self."

The "self" is never a finished project, and it continues to change as our life takes different turns. Our "self" reacts to the environment that we are in. As the "self" expands we put together the different reactions making us a unique individual. Every individual has a different way of thinking and therefore they make their own choices about certain situations. Going through different life changes, means the "self" is expected to change to accommodate the life stage we find our selves in. The way we perceived things when

Sometimes a person may feel that they have no purpose in life. Finding out who you are just takes the time of sitting down and thinking of the importance in your life. Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a wonderful best friend. Before anything, I am a big sister to...show more content...

It is seen as an essential part of learning and using what you learn in class. But when you get loads of class work and have very little time to finish it, then it becomes an unnecessary burden. Yet, sometimes, for me, it is the fact that I procrastinate that prevents me from completing a task. For college student, like myself who is working to pay for college, large amounts of class work usually brings lots of stress and fear of not being able to get good grades in many of my classes. Yet, I have support from my family, friends, and some peers who encourage me to put up a good fight in reaching my goal. I am a student that has gone through so much to get here, where I am. There were times that I had strong feelings that I would never be in college, just because of the negative energy I forced upon myself. Since pre–K, I have had this problem that if I can't do something I just give up, and stop trying. I still have this problem, but I have learned to get a control on it. The biggest problem was graduating from high school. I never thought that I would ever graduate. But I knew, as a student, I should at least try and show my teachers that I am putting effort. And now, I'm in college, studying pre–med, and hoping to become either a pediatrician, or a NFL Doctor. Growing up as a daughter to a single mom, was, I think, the best experience ever. I was, and am still, very spoiled. I always had everything that I ever wanted. And
