My Pursuit Of Perfection-Personal Narrative

When I was in third grade my teacher assigned us to write a book titled “All About Me” and just about every word was spelled incorrectly. I remember my teacher reading it and asking what word I was trying to spell out and I got upset. I felt like I could not spell anything I was trying to write, put things into the right words, or into the correct order. However, in seventh grade my writing changed when my English teacher assigned us a paper to write about a book the class was assigned to read. My writing had improved, but still had its problems. My English teacher always told me that there is no such thing as a perfect paper. After he read my rough draft, he handed it back to me and there were red marks all over it, so I went home and fixed

Though time I had a lot of accomplishments some very good and some not so good growing up was hard but I was determined to be the best I can!!?

As night comes all my stirring thoughts gather. I lay in my murky room and almost as if I am looking at myself from outside my body. I feel as if I am away in a dark bitter cold place, but this place provides comfort as it whispers in a strident voice the idea “perfection”. ‘Perfection Perfection Per- fec- tion ‘I repeat to myself. Funny how if you repeat a word long enough it no longer feels like one. This word this ever so churlish word began to bind me it became mine I embraced as it sucked the life away from me. Perfection became my own special parasite that I nurtured and cared for.

My friend ,Kendrick, is diligent and self-sufficent.He gives his best effort at everything that he does.One time Kendrick and I were at school walking to the cafeteria to have lunch. Before we opened the door to enter ,we was stopped by Mr.Douglas. Mr.Douglas was Kendrick's R.O.T.C instructor who had a high rank as sergeant major. He stopped us to talk to Kendrick about some important R.O.T.C business.

I think that the most important aspect that Peters stresses is image building. My end state goal is to become a College Professor. So surrounding myself around like minded people as well as building a relationship with the heads of the department would aid in building a reputation that can be called upon come the time I can make the transition toward my end state goal. As we see in the news almost on a daily basis gossip in politics has profoundly negative effects. Any thing that could be construed in a negative manner will look poorly upon you. Best practice is to stick to the known facts and stay professional. Attitude is everything and maintaining a "cheerful disposition" works two fold as one setting yourself up to be more positive and

Determination is an intrigal part of my character, which helps me in reaching my goals. I always try to set clear targets so than nothing would get in my way. One of my short-term goals is to graduate from high school and be top ten percent in my class, that would make my parents and I very proud and to see what I worked for all four years of high school. This is my priority right now because this is the first off all my goals that guides my successful life.Therefore, another short-term goal that I have is to get scholarships, that way I will attend the college of my dreams with out having to worry about how would I pay. I set that goal to myself because I have a high GPA and my teachers motivated me and told me to go for it, and so that’s

During center time Stanly was playing in the block area so I asked “Do you want to play a game?” He replied “Yes” so I got out the long wooden blocks and said “We are going to see if we can walk across this.” I got on it and walked across it so they knew how to do it. Stanly got on the wooden blocks and started to wobble. He balanced his self and then he started to walk on it. He got to the middle and he started to wobble again but corrected his self so he wouldn’t fall. He got all the way across it without falling.

The brain is 3.3 pounds, has 86 billion nerve cells, and makes up 2% of 100% of people. Though this organ belongs to all people, it is still unique to everyone. The decision made, emotions felt, and life that was lived can be held in the palms of a person's hand.

That one year everything started out great, so I thought. Then there was a rapid turn of events when I realized who my coach was. He was pretty good at convincing me that he really needed me on the team and that this year was going to be different than the rest, but that was not the case. One bad coach can ruin everything you ever loved about a sport.

Determination is a suitable character trait to describe me.When there is something I genuinely want to accomplish, I will fulfill it no matter how many times I fail. Failure is what fires my inner desire to work hard and to my fullest potential until my goals are achieved. For example, in my Jazz dance class, my instructor instructed the class to do switch leap jump, which is a jump that launches a dancer up and forward into a split in which the extended legs switch places in mid-leap. In my mind, I’m thinking to myself how impossible that sound and fear started taking over my body since it was my very first time being instructed to do such jump. When the instructor played the music for the jump, I decided to stand at the end of the line and

“Perfection is a matter of opinion within an individual’s eyes (Unknown).” Most of my peers take one look at me and instantly thinks “oh she is a genius” or “she’s a nerd”; however, I am not. I am not naturally smart, and far from perfect. To get to where I am today, was pure studying and working extremely hard, as my parent’s call me a workaholic. Although, I am fairly well succeeded in two courses, I also have difficulties within other subjects, such as: Reading, Writing, Spanish, and History. Everybody assumes that because I am ranked 5th, means I know everything.

Two of my goals that was a success we're score more than 50 goals by the end of my soccer season, and bench more then my body weight. Score more than 50 goals by the end of my indoor soccer season well that was a big success I ended the season LUSTY with 59 goals and about 20 something assist, my team really helped me out when I say it I mean it if it wasn't because of them I would´ve not made it this far. Bench more than my body weight that was another big success I bench ( 140lbs ) now, I´m proud of myself because the last month has been me putting in all work in the weight room. Everytime I step into the weight room I always say in my head today is another day of hard work I always have it in my mind i'm getting stronger and stronger

The first day was pretty exciting. My number one goal was to talk to one of the residents which was met while doing the patient history.we toured the unit around. We looked at the patient's binder. My favorite part of the day was meeting T.C. The things that she has done in her life was inspirational. The way she lived her life is just amazing to be true. Lastly, I got to feed father even though I had to lie about being a catholic. I believe they think I did well at least T.C told me I was good.

I have a secret that I have not told people about me. But now seems like the right time for that secret to be known. My secret is that my brother Kyle and I were adopted. Why I have never told anybody is because I can remember everything quite well and when I do, it makes me cry.

There are various definitions for the term “success”. I have now increased my monetary gain because I will gain a college degree and not be stuck with a high school degree. I have accomplished a lot of my personal goals and it is only the beginning. The relationship between my family and I is significantly strong. I have been raised as a catholic throughout my whole life. In my life I have had types of success that others would be proud of me and types of success that only myself would be proud of. As the amount of difficulty and stress increase, then the feeling for success has that much of a greater impact on myself.
