Personal Essay : My Main Priority

Of all the forms of literature, the most interesting might be the fairytales, or the science fiction thriller about robots. However, there lacks the sense of truth, in a way blocking the reader from true connection with the story. Memoir is real, memoir is true, and memoir can range from any end of the ocean in structure and theme.

The revision strategy for myself that will be most effective for writing this essay would be to

One cold sunny weekend in February of 2014 in Madison, MS the Saint Stanislaus boys just arrived to the hotel where they would stay for the night before the big game. All was good the night before we ate and later went to sleep. We all woke up around eight in the morning and had breakfast. We left for the fields around twelve because the game was at two in the evening.

I have learned a great many things from playing soccer. It has changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life. Before my freshman year at Cool high school, I was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. Soccer has altered all of these qualities. On the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of soccer. The players were split up and the game began. However, during the game, I noticed that I didn't' t run as hard as I could, nor did I try to evade my defender and get open. The fact of the matter is that I really did not want to receive the ball. I didn't' t want to be the one at fault if the play didn't' t succeed. I did not want the responsibility of helping the team

After reading your essay, I think you did a good job on this assignment, especially on reasoning your proposition. I like your introduction paragraph the most. By narrating your personal experience with writing, you introduced your problem associated with writing that “writing only for assignments” and made a very good transition from your story to the proposition which clearly stated at the end of your first paragraph “Once I felt that what I had to say was meaningful…I started to enjoy writing more and more for the class”. As a reader, I was told what you are going to say at the next few paragraphs after reading your introduction paragraph and I expected you would say more about why you think that made you enjoy writing. But when I continued

In my essay, I should have used supporting details instead of repeating the same sentence in different words. I also should have eliminated the empty words I used and replaced them with words that had stronger meaning. Lastly,

Just as the sun started to shine right through my window into my navy blue room on a Saturday morning, it crossed my mind that it was game day, but not only did I have a football game today it was the state finals. My team and I have been working hard from early July until late November, preparing for this one two hour game. We have been lifting weights in the 100 degree weather, running three miles to the beach and back and working our butts off just so we could drive down to Peoria as a team for the state championship. On this Saturday morning I set my alarm for 7:00, I am gonna eat a good healthy breakfast and mentally prepare myself for the big game ahead of me. At 7:00 my eyes drifted open from a deep sleep I jerked out of bed with a great

Two specific examples of my essays, the personal narrative, and the argumentative essay, supporting details and evidence, consistent organization, topic sentences and theses, and the coherence, along with conciseness and clarity, are all major points. However, where the personal narrative excelled in the organization, support and evidence, vivid details, and style, it struggled with topic sentences and coherence, including some word choice issues. On top of this and in contrast, my argumentative essay failed in the aspects of clarity and organization, strong topic sentences and supported details with discussion, as well as redundancies and loss of the main point, while having a success of strong background information, a clear and arguable position and a large amount of arguable evidence.

objectives. An obstacle is that I do not have time and do not really know how to work on it and improve it. What supports the process of change is that I am motivated to work on my patience because I know that it is important to not look unprofessional. Nevertheless I could develop good problem-solving skills from several difficult situations. In eight year of customer service I have faced nearly every day a new problem and I became really good in fixing them. I lead a team with approx. 45 employees from different nations in Miami which was not easy for me because of the different cultures and behaviors and I was by far not perfect in that. It was a German company, in Miami with a French boss and most of the employees were Hispanic. Sometimes it was

From this essay, I learned that proofreading is really important. I realized that I made simple mistakes that could’ve been avoided if I had just proofread the essay.Then I realized how much of a difference actually planning your essay makes.When given the time to plan you should really take advantage of the time. Planning makes writing an essay a whole lot easier it allows you time to think about how to organize your essay.I do believe I’ve improved since this essay. Now I take the time to slow down and re-read my essays making sure that I don’t forget words, add unnecessary words or just say things that don't make sense.

As most of my peers, I have been asking myself a question, what do I want out of my life? This question bothers many people, and not only the college students who are trying to figure out the path that will lead them to the comfortable life. One might ask, what is that comfort that we all are striving for? Is it a state of mind or is it some unknown world that we are so eager to enter. It varies from person to person; there are several aspects, such the way were raised, making, of our lives that could influence a person and the future decisions that we’ll make.

Over the course, I have learned that all people are unique and have their own personal traits and qualities. One person does not just simply fall into one category, but various categories. What is beautiful about all of us is that we all have diverse personalities, traits and qualities. I have learned that we should be proud of and embrace these unique qualities of ours.

The usage of APA is foreign to me until I got to learn about it through this course. I had no exposer before which made me very nerves and very much discouraged to continue. However, the reading materials of APA for the assigned homework broke the ice for me and made me more confident going around it. Using the school library website for resources made it very simple and less stressful. Using the examples from the reading materials to follow were a good backup if APA is not cited on the used source.

My top priority is to further develop empathy immediately upon returning. My lack of empathy is evident through each module and the Johari Window whether it is intellectual empathy, recognition of others, or in being emotionally present. Each negatively affects professional relationships, closes my mind to others’ perspectives, and truly limits my effectiveness. Thus, I will meet with the Deliberate Development (DD) consultant, a PhD-level coach, twice a month and accomplish training with her beginning with empathetic listening. Although this will be a long-term process, I will know I’m meeting my goal through 90-day and 180-day feedback sessions with my commander and peers. I will attain this goal, and a coach possesses the skills and tools to assist me.

The Self Every situation that an individual is exposed to throughout life, helps mold our “self.” As humans we have the ability to see ourselves from the outside, and all through life we try to see what others see and our “self” revolves around the generalized other. We observe how others perceive us and we make conclusions depending on our observations. How we act around others depends on the image we feel they have towards us.
