Personal Life : The Most Important Aspects Of My Life

What comes to mind when someone asked you about yourself? Do you give a simple “I’m a Student at such and such” or “I go shopping on my spare time” But what about the deeper meaning about it? How would you react if someone asked deeper questions that would never come pass your mind on any given day? Will you be willing to go that extra mile to dig deep within to talk about yourself? Who knows maybe you’ll find a common interest once things are all said and done. Maybe you’ll come out in the end knowing more about yourself which may surprise you.

“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” ― Tom Bodett. In my entire life, there are a few words to describe who I am: happy, positive, hard-working, kind and generous. Because of this, I have always wanted to be a doctor, who I believe can use all these traits in everyday life; also, it always been my hobby of mine to help people, which is one of the reasons why I love to volunteer. There are many aspects in my life my family, my friends, my ethnicity, my beliefs, and the media that shaped me to be the person I am today, and the person that I hope to be in the future.

One day when I came home from school, I wanted to say hello to my step dad but he was in the shower. Therefore, I went straight to my room without saying hello to him. After a few minutes I heard the shower turn off in the bathroom. When he opened the bathroom door I heard him yelling my name, so I quickly ran to him to see if he was ok.When I saw him he told me he did not feel good and could not walk. I told him to stop playing around because he always joked about his health. But he told me he was not joking and as he said that, his left side of his face and body began to not work. He almost fell on the floor but I grabbed him and helped him to sit down in our hallway. This situation was difficult for me to handle because I was only a teenager in high school, I never experienced a situation like this. But I set aside my emotions because I knew needed to help him, since me and him were the only two people home. Therefore, I hurried to the phone to call 911.While me and my step dad waited for the ambulance to arrive, I told him everything was going to be ok and made sure he kept eye contact with me.Approximely five minutes later the ambulance arrived. The paramedics placed my step father on top of the stretcher, and put him into the ambulance. I did not go into the ambulance with my step father because I need to call my mother to tell her what happned.When my mother came home my mother and I rushed to the hospital to see how my step dad was dong.The doctors told us, my step

I think the people who will be there in my funeral will say something about my real experiences with them which will lead them to remember and describe some of my personal values that I practiced with them. The first value will be the Christian Faith which I practiced as much I could by attending the services at the church with my family, making my daughter attending the Sunday school, participating in the project of the hunger people, attending the bible study in the church, and dealing with people in a nice way. The people at my work may mentioned some values like being on time, calling them from time to time if they are sick, doing my job’s tasks in a good way, and replacing them at work if they are not able to come. The people at the university may say that Sameh was trying hard to learn, he invited us for the Egyptian food, and he was an easygoing man, whatever we said or being angry with him, he was saying God bless you. My family will mention how I was working full time job, doing may practicum hours, study hard, and helping us at home in cleaning and cooking. They may mention also how I was supporting them by encouraging my wife to study and help my daughter with homework. I would like people to say about me how much I was sensitive to people by trying to not disappointing them, to learn and ask about the new cultural issue here in the American community since I came from Egypt. Also my family in Egypt can say how much this person was lovable; he was calling us every

I am currently a sophomore attending Northwest Vista College and will be receiving my associate’s degree in applied science. My journey to obtain my associates has not been easy. Nevertheless, I am accomplishing my goal and over the moon to be doing so. I did not plan to get my associates, I had originally planned just to bypass it completely and move on to get a bachelor in biology, however my health had other plans in mind. My health complications forced me to change my perspective on my life and to reconstruct how I prioritized everything in my life.

During my youth, I always tried to be the nicest person I could be. Today, negativity has become a big part of people’s everyday life. In high school, there happens to be tons of pettiness towards one another. People disliking others, many fights and unfortunate events become the center of all the attention and even bad reputations for people and their schools. The golden rule teaches us to, “Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.”

A quote I would stand by or approve of is, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’”– Muhammad Ali.

When my parents took me home from the hospital. I was brought to a nice clean house with two dogs named Kona and Jasper. I was generally in my crib as an infant. My mom deliberately made noise when I was trying to sleep to try to prevent me from being a light sleeper such as vacuuming for no reason and getting the dogs to bark. My parents used a gardening table as my changing table (this has little relevance, I just thought it was funny).

My parents are from Mexico, they came when they were just teenagers. They found work wherever they could. I hear stories from my father about the first pair of shoes he ever had in America where some Chuck Taylor All-Stars, and the time he ever had a hamburger at whataburger and how he could finish it because of how massive it was. My mother tells me stories of her childhood. She talks about how her and her other siblings would work day after day in the fields they owned, how she learned how to be self dependant before the age of 10. When we go back to Mexico, everyone in the whole town knows. I can’t go anywhere without someone asking if i’m Miguel and Juana's’ kid.

Sometimes it takes people awhile to figure out what they want to do in life. Many people know as kids what they want to be when they grow up. Some people hop from job to job trying to find what makes them happy. I wasn’t the kid who just knew, so I was stuck for a while after graduating high school. I just could not find what I wanted to do or be in life. I didn’t have the drive to do more with my life. My goal was to just graduate high school. I was a kid who was still at home with my parents, and yet to find my calling on this Earth. My life quickly changed when I turned 19 and became pregnant. I knew I had to do more and be more for my child. I didn’t want to be another statistic that fell by the waste side and depended on the government for help me and my kid.

Life events and emotions go hand in hand. There have been many events in my life that had an emotional effect on me, whether it’s positive or negative. But there’s one event that I think about often, I am reminded of every day, and has also created a continuous feeling of happiness. To some an event like this isn’t a big deal. For me it was something that I had dreamt of for years.

I was born into a dysfunctional family. My father was an alcoholic and a heavy smoker. There were so many financial problems and pure happiness. Everyday my parents would argue about the most minor things. Everyone thought that everything was all roses and unicorns for us, but in reality it was dull and grey. The life I was born into made me want to do things that are looked down upon. Despite all of this my mother was strong and maintained a smile on her face.

Hunched under a mango tree trying to find shade from the scorching sun as sweat drips from my scalp to my toes, sizzling as it hits the ground. Temperatures increase day by day in the summer I pray for rain to fall, looking at the stray animals on the roads in craving for water. I gaze off into the distance of barren acres of land, touching the dry, cracked soil and seeing lifeless crops perish due to the boiling heat that I was responsible for. As a boy living in the (countryside) rural areas of India in a middle-class household, everyone in the village was taught at a young age to start working. Even though I was the third child out of my four siblings it didn’t prevent my parents from making me work out in the fields. It was tough having to do manual labor like field tasks to feeding and taking care of the animals every day. As the rooster's crow, I wake up immediately and lay out my school uniform and shower, I brush my hair slicked back, put on my shoes and run off to school with my friends. I quit going to school until the 10th grade because back in the day my parents wouldn't care that much about education like today. It was more about harvesting corn in the summer to plant seeds in the winter. When I was around 20 years old my two older siblings got married and my family decided it was my turn. However, my father tried to encourage me to do something in life first and not sit at home and drink or smoke so he opened a pharmacy, that didn't work out so long due to my

When I was younger I did not know much about life and playing football. A lot of the people that my family and I met throughout my life are because of football and how much I loved to play it. When people get older they usually decide to move around what they want to do in life. The main idols that are in my life currently aren’t anyone; they remain no one because, I would like to see what I would become in life and see where life would take me. A quote that I always remember when doing everything in life is “Keep moving forward no matter what you are doing”.

It’s quite peculiar to compare my past to my future, my dreams to my reality, my love to my loss. When I was a wee boy in Ireland, I had of course thought to escape the squalor and poverty plaguing my community and family. I spent most of my time working around town doing odd jobs around Mrs. O 'Flanagan 's yard or herding Mr. Davey’s sheep, rather than going to school. You see, both out of necessity and I desire, grew up on land. I’ll tell you, no arithmetic or geography could’ve taught me the lessons of life that I earned while working dusk to dawn. If it hadn’t been for my family’s poverty, I wouldn’t have understood the importance of hard work and property. Though I was just about the poorest kid class (whenever I did go) I had a
