Personal Narrative: My Determination Of Success

Many people are crafted by the events that have had an impact them and made them who they are today. Like me, I have had so many experiences in my life that have made me who I am today, but there is one that defines me and made me how I am overall. The one experience that truly shaped me and made who I am today is an event that happened on my first day in 1st Grade.

According to their BMI chart I was considered obese at two hundred and twenty pounds of solid muscle. I was told to drop down to one hundred and eighty pounds. The worst part about it was that I had just three months. I worked hard at the gym, three times a day, seven days a week. While going though this challenged I became homeless. I could not let this stop me because I knew it was all temporary. It took me just about a month and half to drop about forty pounds. It was probably the second hardest thing I ever had to do. When I dropped the weight, I was able to move to Massachusetts with family and keep up the recruitment process in NYC. It was not an easy thing to do, constant mailing, scanning, phone calls, and some traveling back and forth just to complete it all. Finally after a year of the first ever initial call I was being shipped to boot camp in

As a child, I always loved being read to by any and every one. I would explore the pictures in books and come up with my own stories about what I thought really happened. When it came time for me to become an independent reader my own imagination become an issue. I knew the words on the pages of the book and I knew the meaning of most of them, but the words together made no since to me. It was not until I was I the fifth grade that a teacher realized that I even though I could read the words I actually had no understanding of what I was reading, and instead of reading the stories, I was actually coming up with my own stories. To help me to become a better reader I was put into a reading program called Soar to Success and to this day I credit

I took Engl 131 last quarter and the portfolio that I submitted was my biggest accomplishment in writing. I was very proud with the result because it comprised all my effort from the whole quarter. The portfolio included six essays and explanations for each outcome of the course. It marked my improvement in writing from proving how the essays have been refined in every draft. The essays focused on the topics of audience, genres and rhetorical skills.

I have noticed that I started out very confident in the being of the year, and it slowly went downhill. I had really good self-esteem at the start of the year, I actually tried to succeed in school. I worked hard, played nice and fallowed the rules. To be honest in the first success profiler I tried because I actually cared about this class but I don’t anymore. It was fun at the being of the year but I stopped caring when the deans took my laptop away from me so I couldn’t do any work for the class anymore. I feel looked I’m looked down upon by everyone in this program just because I have different views than most people. I find it very funny how everyone cares about everyone but me. I ask for help and I’m ignored, it’s really cool. I was told

I am a passionate individual, who is self-motivated and displays integrity. Past experiences lead me to stray from the powerful words that define me. As, time elapsed I began to become more comfortable with myself. I learned how to encounter failures and excerpt what I learned from them.  In my story I shall share my tale of a time when I learned from failure.

Every single second of every single day, people all over the world content themselves with mediocrity. In the words of the legendary Steve Prefontaine, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” That is why, every second of my life I put forth an unmatched effort and dogged work ethic in everything I endeavor to do. However, I have found that throughout my life my determination goes completely unnoticed. Regardless of the fact that my drive regularly goes unnoticed, it is a quality that is integral to my character; furthermore, determination has been, and continues to be a defining characteristic in my life.

Truck driving is very dangerous you have to be prepared. It is a very dangerous job and requires knowledge. The way I am going to be successful is if I graduate high school. Next I need to first get a class b driver license and then get a class A license. These process take a while to get but it is worth it.

Simplistic and tranquil is how I would describe my lifestyle, without many obstacles and challenges, fortunately. Yet in the fall of 2014, I found myself in need of a simulation. More than anything, I wanted to prove to myself and everyone around me that I could face any obstacle and tackle it. When I found the Disney College Program, I knew that I had found my challenge. Not only would I be moving across the country, but I would be taking on a task that I had never really faced before. Offered to be an entertainment costumer, I knew this was a once in a lifetime chance to experience something not many people would ever have the chance to do. I knew I would have to leave my job of three years and start new, knowing no one in Florida. More than anything else, it was an experiment for myself that I could make it on my own.

It was a pleasure speaking to you at the Davis Companies’ “Creating a Culture of Success Workshop.” Given your role in recruiting, I can only imagine you’ve been bombarded with requests lately from job hunters seeking advice, but I couldn’t resist reaching out to you. As somebody with a blending background in Six sigma project manager of in-depth Healthcare industry knowledge (Hospital) interested in exploring positions where I can add value to the Medical Devices, Life Sciences industry. I would greatly appreciate your perspectives and insights.

Beep, beep, beep! The oven timer had just gone off, and lunch was finally ready. Starving, I tried to turn around and quickly go to the oven, but as I turned, my left leg didn’t. I crashed on the floor, screaming in pain, not thinking anymore about how my lunch was still in the oven. Desperately, I tried to get up, so I could at least put ice on my knee, which was now quite red and swollen. The agrivating pain shot up through my leg as I attempted to straighten it. Taking a deep breath, I thought of the situation I was in, and all the plausible solutions that there could be. First off, my parents were at a funeral. With their phones off, I wouldn’t be able to contact them whatsoever. My younger brothers were home, but they were playing video games upstairs, and they wouldn’t be much help. I figured that my best option was to wait for my

Well to tell you how I became the person I am today. You will have to know my past because my past is what molded me into the person i am today and who i will be in the future. I was born in washington D.C in holy cross hospital. Born with a single mother my dad had left us when i was only 2 since then me and my mom have been moving a lot around the united states and for some time out of the united states. i lived in canada for some time then we moved to california then to north carolina then to maryland. Everywhere i've been i picked up some mannerisms and some male influences that weren't the best but i've always stayed out of trouble. By playing my favorite sports like basketball and football. And a goal of mine for a while was to be the

A special attribute that can describe me is my large sense of determination. When I begin working towards something, I am not satisfied until I finish. However, an accomplishment that I am proud of is my self-defense skills that I learned from Tae Kwon Do. I earned my black belt before I entered middle school at Stone Bank Elementary. My sister, mother, and I joined Tae Kwon Do together but I was the only one to achieve a black belt because my mother dislocated her shoulder during class and my mother and sister stopped due to her injury but I kept thriving for the black belt. That was a big accomplishment for me. I had an amazing experience at a homeless food shelter when my church class went to Milwaukee to spend a day helping, serving,
