List Five Things I Would Use To Describe Myself

Items that i'm like. I'm like many different items. I'm like an eraser, pencil, and a rock. These items describe me. I get described by these items because it how I am. What kinds of items are you? Are you sweet like chocolate, or angry like a bull?

Being open-minded has really unlocked the riddle to my soul on how I want to be as a person. It has helped me understand other people’s problems, and what they go through. That is what also helped me forgive my 6th grade best friend because she just wanted attention that she wasn’t getting at home. I feel bad for her sometimes, but other days I feel sorry that she has to take her problems out on others. I hope she gets better one day, and becomes a better person. Also, being open-minded has gotten me into so many cool things, and ideas that are outside the box; it makes me feel inspired and original. My struggle molded me into a person that really understands how other people feel, and has helped me strive to be the person I was meant to be. That’s my identity, and it’s only going to progress from

After I was asked to write an essay on a word that describes me, many adjectives wondered in my mind and I could not decide in a particular one. Describing my self is a difficult task. However, after the help of friends and family, the adjective that summarizes me is clever. My family would have called me intelligent or smart, all my friends say I am dedicated, but I believe that one word that describes me is clever because I am not just intelligent but I have the ability to learn and understand in a short amount of time, and I am skilled at achieving what I really want.

My five weakest areas that I discovered from my self-assessment are speaking, positive visualization and optimism, self management and emotional control, self esteem and confidence, and ability to focus on one thing at a time.

I’m open minded. In disputes, it’s important to take every idea into account in order to devise a solution that will please the majority and compromise with the minority. Therefore, my consideration to both sides in a debate will contribute to the academy for future, influential decision making.

I believe that I would make a good SELF Fellow because I have learned a lot about leadership through Boy Scouts and the process to becoming an Eagle. Much of Boy Scouts teaches boys how to become effective leaders. Boy Scouts additionally educated me about self sufficiency. The Eagle Project, the final requirement to become an Eagle Scout, is unlike anything a high schooler has done. In every other situation, students are encouraged to seek help from their parents. The Eagle Project is different. The scout plans it, the scout sets it up, the scout leads it, the scout does it. This forces self sufficiency. Other aspects promote self sufficiency as well, for example, one tenet of my Boy Scout troop is being boy lead. The adults try to stay out

The main personality traits I know about myself, and the traits many people know as well, are my willingness to do stupid activities, help people, and my irrational fears. An example of an unintelligent act I have committed is when I sat on a cactus during the night of October 31st, 2016. Another instance of this stupidity is on September 23rd, 2017, when I licked a cactus for the experience. As for irrational fears, one would have to look no further than my Auto Bio Poem, line 10, where it says “Who fears North Korea, the KKK, and listening to Jake Paul’s “It’s Everyday Bro” on repeat”. While the first two concerns are reasonable, the fear of hearing an incredibly horrible song consecutively over a period of time is ridiculous.

Choosing seven things to describe me was very difficult. However, I feel these seven best describe me. Throughout my life, I was very independent. I had to tech myself how to do certain things. An example would be my education. I never finished 8th grade which meant I had to further my education on my own. However, I consider myself to be a very attentive learner because I enjoy learning new things and I always give my full attention to whoever is providing me this information. I do recognize myself as hard working because I never give up on my goals and always give it my all. I love being compassionate towards others whether I dislike them or not. This is because our world needs more compassion towards each other. I have a lot of people motivating

One of the qualities I have that I pride myself on is being open-minded. I know that I’m not the only person in the world who’s open-minded but I am proud to say I am one of those people. Maybe not when it comes to food, but when it comes to more important things I am. For example, there are plenty of people who support same-sex marriage. Yet, those same people would be very disappointed if one of their family members or a loved one was in a same-sex marriage. Unlike me, I would be absolutely happy either way. The gender of someone nor of the person they’re attracted to should never impact how one should treat them just as the color of someone’s skin shouldn’t.

“In one to two sentences, tell us about yourself.” The terrifying question that you see hundreds of times throughout your life, whether it be on an application or survey, and if you’re like me, the struggle to answer it is never ending. How do I describe myself to other people, when in reality, I hardly know myself. Yet, somehow, I am supposed to tell who I am to everyone else in only two sentences? Sure, I suppose I could write that I have three cats, three dogs, what my favorite color is, etc. I could talk about where my family comes from, or the color of my skin. However, is that really who I am? Is that what defines me? Is that my own personal culture?

In general, I think of myself as a very open-minded person and I do not really experience difficulty discussing a wide variety of topics with different people. I am generally able to separate my personal feelings about an issue from other people's personal feelings about issues, so that I do not feel threatened when my opinion differs from theirs. I accept that human beings are different and that it is inevitable that I am going to have different beliefs than some people, and that those different beliefs do not make me better or worse than other people, but simply make me different from them. Therefore, I do consider myself a pretty open-minded person.

My biggest strength is that I trust people so much and I do not afraid of being cheated. I am open to communication and I hold no biases towards any culture, race or sex, because I believe that all people are equal and must have equal opportunities to succeed. I am definitely a team player, because the best experience I had until now is the time, when our soccer team got the second place in a high school championship when everyone thought we were not qualified to play in this championship. That same experience helped me realize that hard work always pays off, since we spent almost 4 months straight to get prepared for the championship, we all believed in each other as a teammate. However, I believe that too much trust could be my weakness at the same time, because not all people deserve to be trusted that much. Furthermore, I suspect that sometimes I may rely too much on collective efforts pursuing the common goal. That could be my next weakness, because I am attuned too much to work in team, which could have detrimental results if I would have no other variant but to complete some assignments on my own. I have to develop a clear vision of my own future in order to come up with both short- and long-term objectives, which could serve me as a motivational impetus in future. The biggest threat to my progress could be only some upsetting circumstances and/or instances, like the loss of a friend or deterioration of relations with my family for instance, which could

Growing up with parents who didn’t know much about money put me in a position where I had to learn how to be financially responsible at a young age. Before my 18 birthday I wanted to open my own checking account and eventually a credit card in my name without any cosigner. With this in mind before my 18th birthday, I research every bank from big banks such as Bank of America to little credit unions like Arizona Federal. I learn about the fees, how to avoid them, the advantages and disadvantages of a big bank and credit unions, credit reports, the different type of credit cards available and what the best way to obtain them is. Then at 18, I opened my first bank account and subsequently a credit card a couple months later all without a cosigner. With the knowledge I have obtained on my journey, I know I would be an excellent fit for the company and looking forward to working with the team, and ready to educate the public about finances.

Many people who are living in this world have different personalities. There are no two people who have the exactly same personalities. Each one of them is unique in their own ways and one’s personality is something that does not change which makes one unique and special. However, some people may act differently. For example, they may act quiet and reserved around their family but around their friends they may feel boisterous and loud. People may feel more comfortable around their family as they can show their true personality. People cover up their true personality sometimes just to appease other people. They do not want to show their true colors in case it leads to humiliation. Some people wear certain clothes just to fit in with a certain group. Others don’t voice their true opinions and just go with the flow and don’t stand up. The baker in the WAM painting might appear to be haughty and selfish who just tries to sell his products. But I see him as a caring, responsible, independent, and grateful individual who is willing to share his bread to others and give his skills to others with the care. From my personal viewpoint, I feel that I am like this and found it difficult to identify my true internal qualities until I came to America and realize my qualities. The Baker also reminded me of my five greatest strengths: Independence, Caring, Gratitude, Learner, and Responsibility.
