My character has both opened and closed many doors for me in life. Most of the time you will see that I'm very laid back and relaxed. Independence is one of my key qualities. I never like to bother people with my problems because ultimately they're not always going to be there for you. I roam around in silence; being loud and obnoxious is not something that has ever given me much success in life. I try to conquer a healthy and happy lifestyle, but you know how that usually goes. I am pretty athletic I believe because I have put in so much hard work and dedicated even more time to football throughout my eighteen years of life. My life experiences have given me a rebellious trait. For example, whenever I get yelled at in football by Coach …show more content…
I didn't have a great childhood, mainly growing up around drugs, gangs, and gunshots every night, but when I got older my friends were the ones who saved me from all that madness by taking me into their arms and drifting me away from the wrong crowds. Now, I go back and see them and they're those people I thought they would never be. Drugs run far in the public schools of Massachusetts now that I realize it, a lot of my friends are now heavy drug addicts. When you think of drugs in high school, you think of the basic marijuana, but that's not the case. They are doing the real deal, which are heroin and cocaine. They've been sucked into a dark abyss where I can't save them, not because I don't know how, which I do know, but because I'm so far away that what I say over text or social media to them won't ever be enough to try to change their mind. I just wish that one day they realize what wrong they are doing and seek help, come back to the reality of life instead of trying to escape through the imagination world drugs take you to. I guess the only good outcome from all this is the lessons I learn from my family and friends. Seeing their wrong doings have given me a good sense of what to do in life and what not to do, and that

The accused in a criminal trial is allowed to introduce evidence of his good character; that is, character witness, as a general rule. Character witness is a person who testifies to another person’s good reputation in a court of law. The character witnesses therefore provide evidence about the good reputation of the accused in the community such as being calm, careful, compassionate, considerate, generous, gentle, honest, sincere, reliable, and others. Evidence of character is, without a doubt, imperative to the accused. It can show whether the accused is a person who are capable of misconduct or not.
In the summer of 2013 I moved in my dad’s house for the summer to learn how to cook. Moving from Cherokee, AL to Florence, AL was a stressful move. My Mother and I agreed it was best I learn from someone that has being in the field for over 15 years. The game plan was to go work with my dad a Dale’s Steakhouse with my dad all summer. I made sure I grab my notebook and plenty of pencils so I can ask him questions.
in 2014 I had done a lot of fundraising in the past year such as selling about 50 spam musubis a day plus cookies and brownies and even selling bentos and doughnuts ands finally trail mix bars during school. even outside of school I did fundraising from car washes to even mowing yards. eventually I made enough money with the help of all my family to get to go on the trip. I even made more money so I could relinquish it so I can buy gifts and such things like food. I'm not infallible at Japanese because it so happens that I cant read any of the signs that are in japan. when we landed in japan it was amazing because the airport was so huge and had paintings that look so amazing. when we got our luggage, it was pouring rain when we went outside to the bus. it was about an hour and a

My character is something I take a lot of pride in. I am known to be honest, kind, and playful. I enjoy having fun but I know my limitations. I know when enough is enough and when it is time to get work done. I think this is why I excel in public and community settings. I know how to make people laugh and feel good about themselves with just a smile. I am also very honest. Since a young age my parents have inspired me to be honest and grateful. I have great work ethic and enjoy being helpful. I am patient
In Beneatha’s case Asagai is a better suitor than George, because George is caught up trying to live the American Dream. Asagai and George differ greatly from one another making them both foil characters. A foil character is known to have different qualities to help highlight the traits of the other character. For example, Asagai is seen to be an ideal black man, one who is attached to his African identity rather than having an American perspective. On the other hand, George can be seen as an African male trying to live in a white society. Clearly showing their character’s qualities are the converse of one another. George qualities of viewing how Beneatha dresses and acts clearly shows he is not capable of being with her. For instance, when George

“‘Did you know that when you were a girl, growing up, that one day you’d be a maid?” “Yes ma’am. Yes I did’”(Stockett 169). The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a story about Aibileen Clark, a black housemaid, and Eugenia, “Skeeter” Phelan, coming together to write a novel about how black maids are treated- good and bad- by their white employers in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. Aibileen shows a lot of change throughout the story, evolving from reserved, to progressive, and finally, to content.
The four categories are “The mean mob”, “the “innocent” avenger”, “the “oops did I do that?”
There are many character traits that make someone successful in life. Some traits you are born with, other traits are mindsets. There are a few character traits that coaches, teachers, bosses, or any other significant figure looks for in particular. One of the most important character traits is a hard-working attitude. You aren’t born with a hard-working attitude. It is a mindset. You may not be the best employee, but an employer will be more willing to work with someone that works hard than someone that can do the job but is lazy. Although I am not the best at everything, I give 100% effort in everything that I do and believe that working hard is the most important trait a person can possess.
We’re all in our private traps, trapped in our own minds. Subsequently, we see ourselves as the protagonist, all of our actions easily justifiable. We know ourselves best—our strengths, our weaknesses—for the most part. We may joke we are never on time or we take too long to text back, all bad habits of which we are aware, but these are much easier to recognize than our major character flaws. We examine ourselves from one perspective: our own. We are familiar with the shock of seeing our faces from a new angle in the mirror or hearing our voice on a recording, but few of us have examined our character from the perspective of others. We should consider the opinions of those we value. Failure to do so can result in a variety of repercussions
Over the course of my thirty-eight months at West Point thus far, character development played a prominent role in my successes and failures alike. The Periodic Developmental Review (PDR) system helped me realize which areas needed focus and careful attention to capitalize on my potential as a future officer. The five facets of character – civic, social, performance, moral, and leadership – are essential groups of personality traits for any effective leader to have in mind when considering character development courses of action. In my experience, performance is the facet of character in which I am strongest, while I have several shortcomings in the leadership category, making it my weakest. In order to become a more capable leader of
On February 13, 2018 at approximately 1803 hours, I was dispatched to the Walmart located at 8701 US HWY 19 Port Richey, FL in reference to a stolen wallet. Upon my arrival, I made contact with the complainant / victim, Delmarie Mangual. Delmarie advised she had been shopping at the store when her light colored rectangular wallet broke off of its strap after she had checked out. She advised the wallet fell without her noticing somewhere between the registers, the general merchandise exit of the store and her vehicle.
I speeded up, crossed the bridge, and headed north to Santa Clara. I was going to college. After so many years, I was still moving. Ten minutes later I finally saw it, the Santa Clara University.
