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

The Self Essay
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

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

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

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,

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
.
I didn't have that many close friends in high school. I always was just kind of there. I was no one
important. Everyone seems to have his or her place in this world of high school and it seemed that
my place was on the outside that I

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

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

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,

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,

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

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

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 Señora
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 longest hair 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

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
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

My Past, Present, And Future Self Essay
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

Essay on Finding Yourself
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

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

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

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

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

Essay on Me Myself and Personality Traits
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. Journal of Social Work

What I Discovered About Myself Research Paper
Write an essay to explain what you have discovered about yourself. What are your strengths? How
has your Pathway Academic Start experience enriched or challenged you? What goals will you work
toward accomplishing as you move forward? There are many things that come to mind when I think
about what I discovered about myself during one year in Pathway Program, I want to share what
happened with me: During the first gathering, I felt the Holy Ghost so strong that something into my
heart telling me this is your pathway to learn how to follow the guidance of the spirit and the
English skill will come by a gift of the Holy Gosh, that reflection bring me to my mind something

Why this? Because I need to use my agency or in other word to act by myself. I like to add the
following comment by Elder Bednar: "Are you and I agents who act and seek learning by faith, or
are we waiting to be taught and acted upon? Are the children, youth, and adults we serve acting and
seeking to learn by faith, or are they waiting to be taught and acted upon? Are you and I encouraging
and helping those we serve to seek learning by faith? We are all to be anxiously engaged in asking,
seeking, and knocking (see 3 Nephi 14:7)." That's why I like this program at every step invites me to
use my agency and to act as agent. Finally, I can summarize that this program is inspired by the
Holy Ghost and every lesson, every assignment, every exercise is developed to help me to stay very
close by the spirit, but step by step every day my heart had been changed and really, I love this
program. I am going to continue my study to get first an associate in a computer program and then
to get a bachelor degree. I bear my testimony

Self Care Essay example
Just to think about self care can be a task in itself. I never really thought it about it, to be honest, but
it is an essential part of living. We get so busy and caught up living in our everyday lives that we
forget about the most important part, ourselves. I have two young kids ages 3 and 5, so my focus is
always to take care of them and make sure their needs are met, forgetting about myself along the
way. I think this assignment will help me to appreciate and not take for granted the things that I
know I need to do for myself and to show love to the most important person, me.
Stress management and self–soothing techniques are critical for surviving modern work–no matter
the focus of the work. Psychotherapists tend to disregard their

In class we discussed "saying no" being apart of our plans and I know that this is a must for me. At
times I find myself running around like a chicken with its head cutoff. If only I had the courage to
tell people no when I really need to the most. This will be tough for me but I know that it will help
me have more time to do the things I love.
Although there are several things on my list that I am cringing over I will give it my all. What better
way to be a good therapist? Starting the process of self–care now will hopefully alleviate future
problems that I could face. I embrace this experience to create more self–love within. Setting out
with determination and a clear understanding of my plan will hopefully create the motivation that I
need to complete my goals. Knowing how I am, I have to take this day–by–day. If I do miss a task,
instead of beating up on myself as I usually do I will commit to that task the following day. Its not
so much doing the tasks that I am worried about because everything on my list I appreciate, it is
finding the time to fit it all in. I think what will motivate me is knowing that if I can't help and take
care of myself then how can I take care of my future clients. My ultimate goal after attending
Antioch is of course helping others better their lives so I think this plan will give me a jumpstart in
helping myself first.

essay about myself
Hi,
I am an international student from Czech Republic and I am applying for college preparatory
boarding school in USA. This is my short essay (100–200 words), topic is "Tell us about yourself
and why you would like to become a part of our school family."
My story is similar like the story of thousand of other children: My father struggled with alcohol and
drug problems which caused him to leave my mother and me, so I grew up with only my mother.
Nevertheless, I realized what I want from my life.
Throughout my life, I have heard people constantly repeat that children who grow up with only one
parent end up unsuccessful, on drugs or even in prison. I have decided that I do not want that for me;
I will not follow my father's
...show more content...
I couldn't get used to the surroundings and couldn't sleep much for days. I also disliked the
unfamiliar food given at the boarding house
. I missed my family so much and became depressed.
But my parents supported me. They phoned me often, even though they were busy with work. When
I was seeking an advice about school, they suggested me with good ideas. My father mailed a box
filled with Japanese sweets, to the Japanese–food–hungry me. Without my parents support, I would
have been depressed for the whole 4 years at the boarding house
.
Lastly, I recognized bad characteristics of myself at the boarding house, where many other students
live. I'm very stubborn. I get stubborn when I am choosing for something. For example, I had a
small quarrel with my roommates about a shower time because I was being adamant with changing
it. Another characteristic of myself I had realised is that I can get irritated quite easily. I get irritated
when something is distracting me when I am concentrating. For example, I said some rude words at
my friend who just came into my room when I was concentrating on my test studies. On top of that,
I became aware that I am lazy. Once I was scolded for not doing the weekly duty allotted. I have
recognized many bad parts of my identity, and I wish to change them in the future.
To conclude, I came to value friends and family with my boarding experience. The things I value is
a important part of my identity. I also started to want to

Essay On What You Know About Yourself
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

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
