I’ve been molded through countless personal, professional, and academic experiences--into the person that I am today: a curious person, an eager

The writing of my college essay was quite a process. Normally for me writing comes rather easy, I do not struggle putting my ideas on paper. At first I thought that this essay would be simple to do and not be very stressful. It turned out to be quite the opposite in fact, just brainstorming was a struggle for me. It was difficult for me to think about my life and how it is special. To me, the events that have shaped me do not seem that relevant, at 18 I had never really payed much attention to how certain things affected me, I just lived my life. eventually , with the help of Mary, I came to the realization that having my summer taken away from me due to a broken foot had really changed my life philosophy, it truly changed who I was and my outlook on life.

When reflecting on my life’s journey thus far, I am able to recall numerous instances which have provided me with opportunities to make decisions that have played a pivotal role in fostering a strong set of personal values in which I strive to abide by today. While many of these values were born out of struggle and poor life choices, it is easy for me to say that there are few regrets. These decisions, some good and some bad, have allowed me to evolve into the man I am today. I am truly grateful to have experienced a life that has afforded me the opportunities to cultivate many strong beliefs and ideologies in my personal, academic, and social life. Through deeper reflection, I have come to realize that these experiences combined with my

When given a prompt to write an essay reflecting on how my environment and experiences have shaped who I am, my first instinct was to lie. I don’t want my english teacher to read my essay if it is full of nothing but truth and vulnerability, so of course lying would be a logical option. However, I felt I must be confident and write this essay and use nothing but the truth because it could possibly help me shape myself. I am not fully shaped. Trust me, if you think about it, no one is fully shaped. My experiences and environments will be shaping me until the day I die.

To put it simply, the life I’ve lived up to this point has been nothing short of a beautiful (and bumpy) roller coaster ride! As I have grown up there have been many factors that have influenced me to take on or do certain things. These things, plus some of my individual choices, have contributed into what’s made me who I am today.

As soon as our eyes met, I knew my life would be changed forever. He knew too by the small smile he returned to me. Being with Jacob was like spring. Everything was so new and exciting. We had no idea what was going to come, uncertainty was around us all the time, but we knew that just being with each other made us happier than anything we had ever felt before. Every day I woke up with him on my mind, and I couldn’t wait to get up and get to see him. One of the thrills of being with Jacob was that my parents didn’t approve. I knew that at any moment I could be caught with him, and if this happened I would lose my parents trust forever. I was always on edge. My adrenaline rushing waiting to see how the day would end. My first kiss was joined by my racing heart, so loud I couldn’t hear anything else, and my legs quivering so badly I almost fell when he let go of me.

I am different then I was a year ago because we have been married this whole year and weren’t married last year. I have also put on more weight this year and changed my hair color. I am the same as I was five years ago because, I still like doing the same things, like shopping and tanning. I am different then I was five years ago because, five years ago I was in High School in the 11th grade and lived in North Carolina and I drove everyone and didn’t have a license because I was underage. I am the same as I was ten years ago because I still had the same family, my mom and two brothers and I loved cheerleading and I still love cheerleading just too old for it now but I still love watching cheerleading. I am different then I was ten years ago because, I am taller, married, in college, have a child and go to college. As a ten year old I never even thought college was an option for me.

Our experiences, history and lifestyle have affected each of our individual’s perspective. Shaping our belief systems, we have created an aspect of society now and towards the future. Each of us has been raised differently, especially in this revolutionizing country. We have been affected by our past and current interaction with life on a daily basis. Growing up in a fluctuating and liberal household, has guided my beliefs today.
