Essay on Writing Self-Evaluation
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to
evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue
to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself "what have I learned
this semester?" and "what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing
?". Answering both
these questions will help me with my last step of my self–evaluation, developing a plan to learn new
skills.
During this semester, I have strengthened my writing by trying new writing techniques, learning
about purpose, and finding new ways of combating writers block. My first essay in this class was
less focused then the essays I wrote later in

I have struggled with writer's block with often. In the past, I've learned to take breaks while writing
to help alleviate symptoms of writers block; however, during the semester I have learned to carry a
pad of paper with me so that I can write down idea's while they are fresh in my mind. Writing down
my thoughts has helped me avoid writers block because I have a list of thoughts about the subject
before I have even started writing. When I struggle less to write it improves my essay's by
decreasing my stress, this can be seen in my writing. I was afflicted with writer's block while trying
to write both my compare and contrast essay and my description essay, this caused me a lot of stress
and caused my essay to suffer. On the other hand, when I wrote my classify and divide essay I did
not have to deal with writer's block. As a result the stress level was greatly decreased and the
improvement is substantial.
Although my writing has made some good progress during the course of this semester, I still some
things I need to learn in order to keep improving my writing. Grammar, writing in an active voice,
and building my rewrite skills are three examples of skills I need to build upon to continue to
improve me writing.
Even though my grammar has improved during the progression of this class, I still have a lot to
learn before my knowledge of grammar can contribute to my writing. I have never had an aptitude

Importance Of Writing About Myself
One would most likely assume that writing about yourself is a whole lot easier than writing about a
particular topic or prompt. However, I haven't found that to be true so far in English 1101. Up to this
point, we have written three essays: the first being the Common App essay, the second being the
Educational History Narrative, and the third being the Ad Analysis. By far, the Ad Analysis was the
easiest paper for me to write because I was given specific guidelines for what needed to be included
into my essay and I didn't have to write a creative story about myself. It is a challenge for me to
write about myself because in past school years, I have hardly ever had to do so. I have noticed that
in school, the majority of my teachers have never stressed the importance of self knowingness and
reflection; all they have done is prepared me and my peers for state testing. I could write a whole
other essay based on this realization, but I won't for this assignment. Along with the Ad Analysis
being the easiest essay for me to write, I also think that it was my best work. I felt that the
assignment was engineered more for my age group and so I was engaged with it a lot more than I
was with the other essays. I also felt a lot more confident while writing it and as a result I had no
problem with meeting the essay's criteria and page requirement. My peer editor also found very few
mistakes within the paper which reassured me that it is the best work that I have done for the

Personal Characteristics Essay
There are many personal characteristics that can affect a person as an individual and his professional
success, namely openness, ability to learn and adapt etc. These personal characteristics can
sometimes make a person successful and sometimes doesn't. As I spend more and more time as a
professional, I perceive that there are few characteristics that are essential for professional success:
namely ambitious, creative and adaptable. These characteristics come out in many different ways.
Have you set your goals? Have you decided the path you have to take to pursue your goal? What are
the sacrifices you can do to achieve your ambition? How much can you think out of the box to
resolve a particular issue or bring new idea to the table? How

This characteristic will motivate me to grow better in my future career as well. I believe that few
people have a strong inner feeling that pushes them to think out of the box to identify as issue and
find the solution. Personally, I always try to find the most creative solution and do not give up until I
get it. Sometime this energy is contagious on to next. I always search for the missing links and fine–
tune my thoughts until I reach a point that works. This creativity has steadily driven my ambitions
through the organization. Today the world is changing so rapidly and the way it has changed in last
few decades, it hasn't changed in last few hundred years. So adaptability has become the need of the
hour. I believe that adaptability is the most important quality of all, particularly if one is in
technology industry. There have been times when this adaptability has changed the nomenclature of
day and night but it has also given me rewards at the appropriate times. Adaptability, personally, has
created a far–reaching international outlook and I was able to spend time, living outside my country
of origin, working for UK retails giants and this stay not only diversified my work experience but
also my cultural experience. It has improved my exposure to diverse situations with increasing
levels of complexity and this exposure has increased my eagerness for new challenges. It has
instigated a feeling in me that there

Reflection About Myself
During this Semester I have written six essays, and all of them were a little different. All of them
had a different purpose in writing and required a different skill too. There are things that I did both
good and bad in writing all of these essays. The first essay that I had to write for this class was a
Self–Assessment essay
, about my writing career and how the four basics have been involved in my
life. This was a more personal essay about myself, while I have also had to write some essays about
a feeling that I had, and also one about a specific topic. There were several different essays, and
ways that I had to write them. The first essay I wrote, the Self–Assessment, was about the four
basics and how they have been in my life and
...show more content...
I chose dedication because I knew that it was something that I could write a lot on. This was my
favorite essay to write in the class, mostly because the topic was something that I could write a lot
on. The best part about this essay is the way that it was written, it was very easy to read. Also the
way the opposing views and examples worked well in showing how what I said was good. The
ending could have been a lot better, there was not much of a conclusion to it, and it was weak
compared to how the rest of the essay was. Also, I tended to have some very long paragraphs, and
then some smaller ones too. I need to work better on making sure that all of the paragraphs are
closer in length and how to try and limit writing on one specific topic (paragraph) and learn how to
move onto the next.
After that, there was the Research Essay, and I chose to write on concussion in football. I chose to
write on this topic, because I have always been interested in this. I explained what a concussion was,
and how people get them and what to do when you have one. I also talked about the new changes or
ways that the sport is making to help prevent concussions. I liked how the essay flowed and it was
set up. There were things that I could have done better in the paper, and one

Descriptive Essay About Myself
With my green plastic safety scissors from my pencil case, I hid under the craft table in my living
room and sawed off my blonde bangs until there were only millimeter long blonde sprigs of hair left
sticking from the top of my forehead.
This was just the first of many times that I tried to change my appearance to escape the shadow of
my sister and become my own unique person.
At the age of four, I lacked any formal hairdresser education so my DIY haircut forced me to wear
many wide headbands to hide the hideous sprigs of butchered hair, but in my mind my mission was
successful, because I finally looked different than my sister.
Anna, my identical twin
, looks exactly like me, except for the odd freckle, our slightly different nose
structures and the slight chip on her upper left tooth. I can always tell us apart so I hardly notice that
I basically have a clone following me around all the time, but for others knowing which twin I am
proves challenging. It didn't help when my mom dressed in matching outfits from head to toe. For
my first Halloween my brother dressed up like a firefighter and Anna and I were his dalmatians,
then he was a farmer and we were pigs.
When we turned five we decided to pick out our own clothes. In kindergarten Anna and I decided
that she would only wear pink, purple and orange while my wardrobe would only contain blue,
green and yellow clothing. This color coding system worked for the next five years and from my
L.L.Bean velcro sandals to my

What I Learned In My Writing Style
I have learned a lot about myself in the last twelve weeks. I discovered so much about my writing. I
learned who I really am once I came out from behind the "Official Style" that I've clung to since
junior high. I have to tell you, it was very difficult for me to let go. I felt lost and uncertain
. But in
the process I found myself, my style, and my voice. I learned to let myself come through in my
writing. I have to admit, writing became a lot more fun and interesting.
When I looked back and read my first paper for this class, I laughed. I couldn't believe how trapped
in the O.S. I was. I remember thinking as I wrote it that I was getting away from theme writing, but
the only reasons I thought this were because I used the first person,

It was only at the end of this quarter that I began to feel at ease writing in these other styles. I finally
felt comfortable enough to challenge what had been taught to me as "the law" of writing. I wanted to
do something different, to explore other styles and voices. I wanted to show Ms. Molitor that she
doesn't know everything, that I don't have to write in the Official Style to be effective. Sometimes
things are better when they're written differently.
Another thing I know I did when I wrote this first paper was to write to please the teacher. I tried to
sound like I really knew what I was talking about. I also made college out to be one big learning
experience. Well, it is a learning experience, but not in the way I made it seem. I made it sound like
every class I took taught me something new about myself. Well, that holds true if what I learned was
how well I could do on a test if I didn't read the text or studied while watching Days of Our Lives
(by the way, I'm really getting sick of that Lady in White, aren't you?). But I was sucking up, I know
that. I wasn't going to say that some classes are a waste of time and money, and that the only reason
I'm taking them is because I have to. That wouldn't have sounded very good because that's the
reason I took this class. Truthfully, though, this is one class I actually got something out of (for real,
I'm not sucking up here).
I'm still learning things about my writing, and I'm having a

Descriptive Essay About Myself
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 in Aberdeen 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

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

Personal Essay : My Personal Qualities
My Personal Qualities
Over the course, I have learned that all people are unique and have their own personal traits and
qualities. One person does not just simply fall into one category, but various categories. What is
beautiful about all of us is that we all have diverse personalities, traits and qualities. I have learned
that we should be proud of and embrace these unique qualities of ours.
As a perfectionist, I like to present my things beautifully and creatively, and it is clearly seen on my
collage. I appreciate beautiful things and this is why I got beauty/aesthetics as one of my highest
totals on the values survey. On my collage, I put a picture of a microscope, with the circular flask
and test tubes. I also

I know and I have been told that I am a kind and sympathetic person
, because I love to help people
and put a smile on their faces. Even when someone is being rude, I try to "kill them with kindness"
in return. I used the quote: "Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind,
a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul". I chose to use this quote because I adore it
and I go by it. What matters most is in the inside, not on the outside. I think people sometimes, even
me, get too caught up and try too hard to look beautiful, but they don't focus on personality.
A) I expected to get artistic, creative and investigative as my results on surveys that I took, because I
already knew I had these traits as a part of my personality. However, the results from my learning
styles survey were a little surprising to me. I got visual as my highest total score, while kinesthetic
and auditory were almost balanced out scores. The reason why I was a little surprised was that last
year, I took a survey to figure out my learning style, and I got both auditory and visual learner. The
results have their little differences, but that shows people do change over time. Learning styles can
be learned and strengthened.
I learned plenty of things from my results. My values–which I didn't see clearly–are now clear, and I
found out the little unique things that make up my personality. From my personality survey, I am
mostly artistic,

What I Learned About Myself Essay
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

Essay About Myself as a Writer
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

Descriptive Essay About Myself
I was walking home from school, on a bright, sunny day in late September when it happened. I
hadn't walked home from school in a long time. Today, I stayed late for a volleyball practice. I told
my parents that I knew the way, that I could get home by myself. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I had
a great life. I was always happy, and for good reason. Teachers regularly described me as "bubbly,
energetic, and cheerful," as it was hard to find me without a smile on my face. I had straight A's, was
semi–athletic, and lived in a neighborhood where almost everyone was well–to–do, with both my
parents being successful lawyers. I had every luxury imaginable for a sixteen year old girl. The
nicest clothes and gadgets. I also had some amazing friends, who always had my back when I was in
need. Ember, Blaise, and Liana. Kind of unusual names, I know, but apparently, that is what the rich,
white, and famous do with their kids nowadays. Give them strange names, so nobody will mistake
them for anyone else. I figured this out because every kid in my class had a name like this, except
me. My name is Emily. Emily Austen to be exact. I only fit two of the above guidelines for those
with strange names. My dark brown skin was a stark contrast to the skin tone majority of my private
school had. Although America is a free country, it's still can be hard for people of colour to rise to
the top. I have tightly curled black hair, which was extraordinarily poofy. Because of the poof factor,

Reflective Essay About Myself
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

Characteristics Of Myself Essay
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

Why is it important to write about me It was an enlightening journey for me that perhaps you might
find interesting so When writing about yourself it is about everything you usually want to say but

Essay About Myself
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

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

Personal Self Assessment Essay
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

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

Reflective Essay About 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,

Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class has
really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college
writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt
limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays
to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is
why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the
first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate
my voice more in my essays and I believe

The most important improvement for me in this course was on my grammar. I was not aware of the
comma rules before. It was shocking to see where commas are to be put and the places that I usually
miss. The Hacker lessons we did in and out of class on commas have improved my grammar
significantly. Looking back through all of my graded essays it is unbelievable how many commas I
have actually missed. Also, writing the essays in MLA format and including work cited entries and
quotations, has helped me become more comfortable with it. When I write essays now, I do not
hesitate or get anxious if I have to add a work cited entry. However, even though I have know a little
bit more of when to use commas and have a little bit more knowledge about grammar there is still a
lot of room for improvement. Some areas where I need to improve include transitions between
paragraphs, being to repetitive, and my conclusions. This class has definitely helped me make my
transitions better
; however they still could use some improvement. I have to make sure that the
reader can comprehend my thought process and that my transitions do not get in the way of the flow
of the paper. In some of the rough drafts for my essays I could not find links between paragraphs at
all but after work shopping in class I believe that they have significantly improved. I also need to
make sure that I do not repeat the same ideas or words too many

Essay About Myself
Growing up in a town of less than 1500 citizens offered little diversity. I grew up around others that
belittled people for their beliefs, color of skin, or sexuality. When I moved to downtown one of the
first people I naturally ran into was my neighbor in the house next door. Right away when I met
David I automatically knew that he was gay. Months went by without anyone in my household or
me talking to our neighbors. After this long period of time I noticed one night that they were having
a get together and I thought it would be a good time to say hi and finally get to know everybody a
little better. This would be the first time that my friend and I have ever gone out of our way to party
with a group of homosexuals.

The only discrepancy that I had to make was the crazy techno music that was blaring out of the front
door and onto the streets. After dealing with Brandon's bickering for about an hour we finally
decided to enter the house at around 2:30 AM.
After we walked through the doors the first most obvious thing was that there were only 2 girls there
with the company of about 20 men. Instead of trying to leach onto the only girls in the house I
decided it would be a good idea to work my way through the crowd to find my neighbor David.
After a little searching and losing my friend I finally discovered my neighbor in his kitchen. He
seemed shocked to see me at first but came out to say that he was glad that we finally decided to
come by and say hello. At this point I was still feeling a little uncomfortable but I figured I'd use my
time wisely and get to know my neighbor a little better.
The whole time I was talking to David I kept thinking in my head "I wonder if he knows that I am
not gay?" For one reason or another I decided it would be a good idea to let him know what I was
thinking. He reacted in a jokingly matter saying how it was very obvious that I was straight and not
comfortable at the party. This made me feel better immediately and I

Essay About Myself
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. Though

Everything started anew, I was all by myself. While I was busy getting used to the school and
making new friends, I also discovered a new passion, soccer. 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’t 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
