Reflection Essay On Looking Back

Although my life is not like those of a typical teenager’s, I am and will be forever grateful for all that my parents had provided me. For providing me with love and care, for raising me to become a disciplined individual, for providing me with the inspiration that I need when I fail at times, and most importantly, for finding the courage to send me off to college even without the full financial ability to.

Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.

That there would be difficult moments where I would have to work my way up and work hard for the things that I wanted to accomplish. They always encouraged me to keep moving forward with new dreams to accomplish one after another. My parents did all this because they wanted a better future for me than the future that they had for themselves at first. I say at first because today my parents have proved to me that anything is possible. My father might not have completed school but he is exceptionally intelligent as a business agent, including being the best of the best in his own job. And my mother, what can I not say about her. She proved to me that it is never too late to accomplish your dreams by going to college and obtaining her G. E. D., and knowing her she will most likely continue to a degree. Seeing all the things that they can accomplish makes me proud to be their daughter because they bring me hope. Them having lofty standards for me, allowed me to keep working harder for my dreams and even setting high standards for myself. A 70% on my report cards or even progress reports were not permitted by my parents at all. And if they did appear, I had better be prepared for the big trouble that I was going to be in.

Imagine the impact technological innovations have had on society? How much did technology influence society a decade ago, and how much does it influence society now? Technology was created from humans to become a more efficient specie. Although technology has advanced society with respect to technology and efficiency, it has also created problems not previously seen because of the use of technology. Edward Tenner, a writer and technology consultant, wrote an article titled “Another Look Back, and a Look Ahead” published in 1996. In his article Tenner argues, through the use of the rhetorical appeal ethos, compare and contrast, and cause and effect, that society is advancing at an alarming rate and suggests a “retreating from intensity”

I graduated in grade 8. Graduating plays a big role in my journey. This is a new chapter where I start. I went to st.paul for 6 years. This is the last time I see most of my friends.

I was standing with hundreds of my peers in an extremely claustrophobic and humid hallway, awaiting to receive my high school diploma. My hands trembled as I slowly walked alongside the podium where my principal quietly congratulated me and handed me my diploma. As I proceeded to my assigned seat, I gawked at the high quality piece of paper that seemed insignificant at the time, but would knowingly open many doors for me in the future. I was nervous. Nervous about walking down a path without a final destination, all alone.
