My Involvement Shaped My Personality

Over time my energy and my commitment helped in becoming a true member of the team. I was also able to play with my specific background to raise interest and engage with others. Lastly, I was always careful in using my interlocutor’s code of communication.

Addressing the first reason, character, I believe that there are a number of traits that show good character, and many of these are shown through activities such as sports, band, or anything that encourages working as a team towards a common goal. The activities that I am involved in includes a number of sports, such as soccer, cross country, basketball, and track. However, character is not limited to sports, and is shown in other ways as well. For me, the most significant of these activities is band. Each of these events that I have named I’ve been involved for years, and I feel that each of these teaches character through responsibility, respect, diligence, integrity, and team building skills to name a few traits.

Honestly for most of my life I've never been the most outgoing person in the world. I suppose a stranger would've called me reserved, but I knew that deep down inside that I had the ability to not be “that shy girl”.In time it did turn out I did have that I did have the ability not to be so quiet but it did take me quite a while; one experience in particular did in a way force me to come out of my shell.

I started high school as a shy person who was afraid to talk to people, but now as a Senior I am now an outgoing person who loves to encourage people and advocate for FFA and agriculture.

The first example in which institutionalization of justice interconnects with the institutionalization of patriarchy is the gender-based double standards depicted by powerful diction and interesting imagery found in the passage. The reader understands, based on the text, that Orestes’s act of murder is not valued like Clytemnestra’s act of murder. Orestes appears to be avenging his father; the “noble man to die, covered with praise” (line 633), “the lord of the squadrons, that magnificent man” (line 645) and “guardian of their house” (line 755). These lines describe Agamemnon in a positive manner—a man that was killed without a justified reason. The use of the words “noble”, “praise”, “magnificent”, and “guardian” have positive connotations

I believe character is defined as your moral qualities in which shape your attitude. Based on my definition character is shaped by things that happen in your own life that are different and distinguishable as moments that have changed you. There have been many moments in my life from early in my childhood that have changed me and shaped my character. If I had to pick a period of events that helped shape my character in a major way, I would say it would be the majority of my life up to this point. To give some background to this, I grew up in a small town in Southern Indiana. The only opportunities in this town are to go work in a factory and most of the long time residents turn to drugs. My Mother had instead turned to alcohol after an accident.

Looking back, my whole life centered around teamwork. Be it school plays, swimming team, volunteers who organized play days for children, GROW activities, NASA project and, more recently, university projects and societies(AstroSoc, IC Yoga,

Geoffrey Chaucer was a prominent figure within English Literature during the Middle Ages, and is regarded as one of the greatest English poets. Among Chaucer’s works, The Canterbury Tales is arguably one of his most famous pieces. In this fictional work, there is a collection of over 20 stories that are told by pilgrims who are on their way to the Cathedral at Canterbury. It is written in Middle English at the end of the 14th century, during the Hundred Years’ War. It is a story-telling competition between pilgrims, as they travel together on their pilgrimage for a free meal upon their return. Scholars argue that Chaucer began writing The Canterbury Tales around 1387, and concluded around 1400, when he passed away. However, some Chaucer scholars continued working on the unfinished tales.

In today's world of business, academia, and home life, social skills are a key function in a daily routine; the ability to interact, to network, not only one-on-one, but within larger groups of people. Whereas I have difficulty, an extroverted personality, who loves people and the social interaction with groups, adapts easier and communicates effortlessly. While I function and interact smoothly in a smaller group, especially my own work team, along with close family and friends, this can be construed as a narrow, or limited, set of social skills.

Furthermore, being enthusiastic, self-confident, and being at ease when talking to strangers gives the appearance that I’m outgoing, even though I may appear to just being a friendly person. Being slightly introverted affect my management style. I often find myself being shy at first around a ground of people. Observing people before interacting with them allows me to fit in. 2.

People in today’s society could be seen as mostly introverted. The sense of interacting with the person next to you is completely gone. Everybody is paying attention, not to their surroundings but to their electronic devices, however, there are still a few individuals who are not introverted, but extroverted. They seem to break the stereotypical idea that people in the city are rude and egotistical. These people are outgoing or gregarious people. My partner, Edith Done Tirado, is one of those individuals that are extroverted. She is a young female who wears glasses, has dark hair, big eyes, and has a tanned skin, as her origins could be traced back to the Dominican Republic. She is a very sociable and approachable person who you can always come to for help.

As I have gotten older, some of the introversion has faded to a certain extent, but it is still present. Through my job as a Special Education Teacher, I have had to overcome a majority of my introversion so I can effectively do my job. On any given day, I will have to speak to not only my students but also the office staff, coworkers, and possibly some of the children’s parents. Conversation goes both ways, so to be successful at my job; I would have to be willing to be open and communicate with others more. I also have to realize that I need to make the first step sometimes. Not everyone is going to come to me; there are times I am going to have to go to others.

According to many psychologists and other social experts, there exist two major social behaviors that are widely adopted globally by a person as they mature into young adulthood: extraversion or introversion. Extroverts are expressive individuals who appear to be energized and enjoy seeking activities that involve socialization with others where as a reserved individual (introvert) prefers solitary pursuits where he or she often partakes in a favorite pastime. In her novel Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life is Your Hidden Strength, Laurie Helgoe statistically explores the fact that more than one half of the American populace claims to be reticent and encourages those folks to embrace their natural selves (“Book Details” 1). Introverts

I was not always a social and outgoing individual and I considered myself unlucky in life. I never stood out and did not have enough confidence to attempt to

There are many things in my life that has influenced my identity. I think the one that has made me who I am the most is being in cheerleading. I joined cheer in middle school, when I was in seventh grade. I was never confident in myself before this, and I never would have guessed that now, I would be a highschool cheerleader.
