Four Years Ago Research Paper

After reflecting a little I thought about the many different things that happen to me since freshman year. Since freshman year I now understand and accept myself for how I am. During freshman year I was trying to figure out where I fit in at but now I understand I am not meant to fit it. What has also changed is the amount of people I surround myself with. At this moment I would say I have two real friends. It was a hard reality to me at first because I was so used to having a lot of friends. Another thing that changed was losing many family members and having to deal with pain. One thing I can say from losing my family members was it made me stronger. Something that I

As a child, I felt that having friends was the most significant cause in who I am today. Throughout my life I have had many friends who have influenced me in numerous ways, but now most of them have become distant acquaintances. Although the majority

I got bullied a lot so that kind of stopped people from wanting to talk to me in the first place. When they did they saw a weird anti-social kid that wasn’t fun to be around or maybe that’s how I see myself reflecting on everything. Can’t say much about that has changed though. When I did get friends I had a problem where I’d get overly attached to them; as a result you could’ve insulted me every day and I’d still call you my friend. I think it was my want for one with the fact I was really, really dense;consequently most of the people I met weren’t great people to be around and a lot had some sort of bad habits, I still always had a book with me as once again an escape from my at least how I saw it sad and boring life in

Junior year was the year that I was elected at Konawaena High School's Student Body Corresponding Secretary and the junior class Vice President. With these two major responsibilities, I found it difficult to balance the duties of an officer, school assignments, and having a job. I found myself prioritizing my roles as an officer over my school work, which you can only imagine did not work out so well. Throughout the school year I realized that I almost became a zealot about student activities, and this is where things in my social life went wrong, or so I thought. Friends of mine since the very beginning starred to become nothing but familiar faces, and soon enough, nothing but memories. I then began looking at the priorities of my "friends" and the priorities that I had for myself. They did not seem to match up. I soon found myself with a new group of people on

Over the past four years of being in high school I have changed tremendously mentality and physically. Mentally I’m mature by changing my group of friends and surrounding myself with positivity. A few lessons that I came across is that not everyone into friend. People who say that there really there for you most likely are not going to be there at the end of the day when you need them the most. Also when I recently learned is that if you pay tension now in school he pays off in the long run.

From the beginning of mankind, there has always been some kind of authority formed, whether it was adequate or not throughout the world. As the years pass on, as more and more civilizations are created, multiple legislations that influence upon them are also obtained and combines as one, while being used by others. However, not all choose to rule under numerous, but one instead. Since America was first established, the democratic ways have all been greatly influenced by the righteous Greco/Roman philosophies, the virtuous Judeo/Christian teachings as well as the reconstructed feudalist England.

How I've changed in the last five years. It is really quite incredible how the teenage body can change whether that's mentally, or physically, and let me tell you that I've changed a lot in both those categories. It will start off in the beginning of fifth grade when I was 11. Then talk about growing up, and into myself through seventh, eighth, and ninth grade. Finally talk about where I am now, and how those five years changed me into the person I am today.

When I first entered school and had to start making friends, I tried very hard but always seemed to had issues socializing. Somehow, I ended up being the target of bullies all the time as a kid, with few friends who always stuck around. As I moved around the first few times between towns in Upstate New York, this kept happening. It seemed I just didn’t know how to make good friends, or at least not many. But, this all ended when I moved out to California halfway through Middle School. I made a few very good friends after I came to Larchmont, and they helped me open myself up to more people. I made more friends than I ever had in my life, and began to spend time outside of school socializing— something I’d never done before. Through all of this change, my closest friends were still the same type of people I’d always sought out my entire life; it had always been more creative type people. Whether they focused their creative efforts towards games, art, writing or music, that was always the main thing that connected my closest friends to me. Also, despite my more extroverted approach now, I still do prefer a quiet setting with less people (or even no one) to one that is busy at the end of the

I thought it’s never a bad idea to have more than 3 friends around. I mean I’m still anti-social, but I’m better at conversing with people/classmates. The areas that need the most work are my Interpersonal Aggression and my Change Orientation. For Interpersonal Aggression I could work on not stepping on everyone else’s feeling and thoughts. I get really defensive if you say one wrong thing to me, so I could work on letting down my walls down a little bit so I’m not actively avoided by my family or others, like how I sometimes am. For Change Orientation I could start by getting some help from my brother or sister. I frequently feel bad because I can’t control myself in some settings, meaning mentally I’m uncooperative with myself and others. I know that I can do better if I work on myself and ask for some help every once in a while. I can work on making better decisions with my life so I can go down a path of success, and come up with better smarter coping skills. Overall, my most recent Success Profiler made me realize that I need to focus on making goals for myself so my life can be better, and I won’t have as much of a hard

In the future, I will apply growth mindset in my life. One reason of this is my essay that I turned in last week. For example, with the growth mindset you embrace challenges ahead of you. When I was a Freshmen my English teacher encouraged us to

As you may, or may not, know, my birthday is September 28 and I will be turning 16. Some may think I grew up to fast, but for me, it’s been a long time coming. Some highlights of my 16 years being are earth would be: Being a young actress/model, staring in several plays, learning flute and guitar, getting into advanced choir, becoming choir president, receiving my own set at several local events, mantling a 4.0, I waited and hosted several local brunches, volunteer at community events, made it in the top 50 in a county wide talent show, tried out for a Disney princess, mentoring the local youth, Being in an honors level Spanish class, learning French, scoring a perfect 100% on my math CAHSEE, raised over $1,000

I have changed in numerous ways. One way I have changed is that I know a lot more people and have let friends go. In addition, my days are a little “dull” and will fade into each other; if I didn’t have friends each day would be boring and like the others. Somehow, even with this dullness, my days are lot more stressful, what I mean is that you can have to type a two-page review on one chapter in five days, have to film a video, at the same time have to write a 10 page book with pictures on each page and if you are unlucky have to write a ton of code on your own. That’s a lot of things to do and those are classes you get to choose, not even classes like English,

Lent signifies the beginning of spring...after all, the name itself is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word; Lencten, meaning Springtime. It's the time of year that many of us look forward to all winter long. A time where the flowers bloom and the birds begin their yearly song and dance. This is a time of new beginnings, a time where we purge what we no longer want or need, ridding ourselves and our homes of the stagnant, either physically or energetically. During this time of the year we start fresh, looking forward to the bright and sunny days ahead...

There came a point in time that I needed to change everything in my life. I came to the decision that it would be best for me to enroll in college. I was learning everything about me at that point in my life, so it seemed like a great time to learn about other subjects while I was open and growing. I was learning so much about myself at that point in time that my thirst for knowledge seemed unquenchable when I wasn’t exhausted from my efforts. This led me to Lane Community College where I have been a part time student since summer of 2011.The campus has changed throughout this time as have I. This assignment happens to involve one of those changes to the campus that correlates to a way I have changed my thinking. There is a wave pattern of
