My Reflection On My Life

Over the last several days, in preparation for this paper and my upcoming interviews, I have done quite a bit of reflection into myself. I have examined carefully the experiences I have had in all areas of my life, namely in a professional setting, within my educational background, and amidst my personal life. I have scrupulously singled out the most prominent and valuable strengths I have, as well as the challenges which impede me the most and are in need of the greatest amount of improvement. Finally…

True Colors April 7, 2014, this date marks the beginning of my journey. This was the day my boyfriend, Jiovanni and I started dating, clueless as to the situation I had just jumped into. Throughout, this relationship I have learned, first-hand the struggle of being an interracial relationship. This experience has by far changed not only my perspective of the world around me, but also of the people close to me. My journey has taken me down a twisted road. In addition to learning many lessons about…

Reflections on My Life When I examine my life, I like to reflect on two facets of religion and mathematics. In the book “Hugs for Grads”, Jeff Walling advised the graduates, “The simple basics of life – love, faith, and hope – are all we really need. We can’t undo all the world’s wrongs, but we can affect the corner of the world we live in if we’ll just stick to the basics – the basics of life.” This means that religion is one of the basics of life. In addition, math is essential in everything. Mathematical…

On a summer afternoon in 2013, I lay in my bed staring up at the ceiling contemplating how to cut my losses while my life spiraled out of control. I felt as though there was an anchor attached to my soul pulling me deeper into an abyss of unfathomable despair. My thoughts drifted to an existence of solitude, and for a brief moment, relief washed over me. I had already become disconnected from most of my family and friends–an unforeseen casualty of a protracted hardship. In a period of uncertainty…

Hearing the four word combo of “four page cultural autobiography” in class easily sent a shiver down my spine when it was announced. I sat there thinking to myself, “Okay… I’m a 5’9,” sport loving, white guy that stayed at his home town college. I am just about as average as it comes, this paper will surely be the death of me.” However, after only a handful of classes I realized there’s a lot more to each and every individual that is worth sharing and learning about. What’s average on a personal…

core class I never expected anything from anyone in my life. I like to follow my own path. I learned how to prayer before core I thought prayers make no impact on the situation and I lost all the trust in god. The unfaithful people had turned their back on me and that movement changed me. Being in core It has shaped me into a person I never thought I could be. I trusted the people in my core and around me who are close decided to stick around in my worst times. Being in core I feel less stress, learned…

What I saw in front of me was a spitting image of my reflection, only this reflection lacked my empty brown eyes, his hair was not a tattered mess, and his posture was not sluggish but upright like that of a soldier, he wore the same clothes that I was wearing a white t-shirt only his had no coffee stains and his blue jeans were not torn up at the knees his white shoe laces were not stringing apart. He had piercing brown eyes with a smug smile it seemed his entire being resonated confidence and…

One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes: To be the person that I am now, I had to reflect and accept accountability of my past actions. My past is one that many would love to erase from their memory, a past, which remained dormant, until…
