I’m the representation of how I was treated and taught, what I witnessed and heard, and lastly, when and where I was when all this happened as I was a child. However, as a growing individual I am aware that more life changing experiences along with reckless moments will shape out who I will be in the near future and forevermore. Be that as it may, I still, like any other, become nervous and anxious at the thought of them. Yet I do my greatest to prevail in the end, and so far I have with the help of my interests, skills, and motivation combined which I consider makes me be a strong fit to be a Schuler

Who am I? How did I come to be this person sitting here right now?This question cannot be easily answered. I have interviewed my parents, the people who molded me, to understand their stories and in turn, my own life. When Hurricane Harvey struck Texas, I felt personally distraught because I have family and close friends that live there. I donated money to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts in Texas because I knew it was the right thing to do. Part of the reason that I donated was also because my parents taught me to do the right thing to help others. After interviewing my parents and understanding their stories, I can say that I am a hardworking, assiduous person who was taught to do the right thing and always have a positive attitude.
“Evidence” by Kathryn Schulz Is an article about how accurate is the evidence that we have to form beliefs, an argues whether or not ours beliefs are true or “partially” true .She explains that what we only care about the probability that our answer might be true when solving a problem and we based that answer with our previously experiences in life. We used our inductive reasoning to make our best guess on every situation and she argues that or inductive reasoning is more complex than choosing a “probable “answer it contains “virtually all human cognition”. What stand out to me is what she later countered argues what she say before by saying that we learn language by inductive reasoning and that we did not have evidence to supported how we
I also know every college is expensive and in order to lower the amount of money being paid students get financial aid help. My parents would help me pay for my school. The cost to go to Penn State University to live on campus is estimated to be a total of $34,982. That is a lot of money and I believe the Lenfest Scholarship can help me out a lot each year. Especially right now that my mom is the only one working and my dad isn’t. My dad is not working because he had an accident while working and is consider to have disability. At this moment we don’t know when he will be able to return back to work. If I do receive this scholarship this will encourage me to pursue my dreams in college, my studying and hard work will pay off. I will feel grateful
Should websites such as Wikipedia, Answers.com, and Reference.com be monitored for false information? Author, John Seigenthaler in his narrative article published in 2005 in the USA Today “A False Wikipedia Biography,” he begins his personal story by describing how his character was assassinated by publishing false and malicious “biography” under his name on Wikipedia, the popular, online, free encyclopedia. His first goal is to convey millions of people that Wikipedia is a flawed and irresponsible research tool. His second goal is to raise the awareness of how Wikipedia works. By establishing his credibility, building his case slowly, and appealing to both logic and emotions, Seigenthaler succeeds in writing an interesting and informative

Who am I? I would have to say I am still trying to figure that one out. I'm a 24-year-old African-American woman just trying to get ahead in life and be more estimable than the people around me. I have country roots, which make me A country girl at heart with a boogie taste. I am a leader, provider, and a listener. The person who constantly thinks of themselves last and puts others first. I’m the person who desires to use my calling in life to impact others’ lives and leave a mark on this earth. Ever since I was a child people have always been able to talk to me about anything, people that I wouldn’t even know would share their personal business with me. I was always able to be a listening ear to anyone with issues, that’s why I believe my

I am Griffin Ziegler, eighteen years old to thistheis date, born of Richard and Denise Ziegler in Dalton, Georgia. I would describe myself as one who enjoys the eccentric, worldly, is willing to try new things, sociable, a great listener, and one who tries to be empathetic to those who need it. I was born into the Christian religion, but have taken a different route from my home faith, turning to more of a meditation/agnostic stance on life. I am involved with the Boy Scouts of America, and have been with the organization long enough to earn my Eagle Scout honorary membership, earning my place among only thousands of other scouts in the world. I also worked as a lifeguard during the summer, and such a job has affected me so much and it’s impact will stay with me for the rest of my life. My best friends (and people I took the most influence from) are Evan Nelson, Andrew Fisher, and Cesar Lee, so without them I would not be the person I am today. All these ideas and people have largely affected my identity, whether it’s how I act, what I believe or how I see the world, and I thank them for helping me create my own identity.
Each of my identities contributed to how I view myself today. My culture and personal experiences have had a lasting impact. I view myself as a sensitive, devoted, compassionate, thoughtful, professional, caring, patient, shy, and independent woman. My current socioeconomic status is middle class however as a young child my socioeconomic status was low income. My mother was a single parent with four children. My mother Maria was unable to further her education since she had to work to help support her family. As she became an adult and had her own family she decided to migrate to the United Stated when I was 7 years old. She wanted a different life style
As the years come along one after another people have come in and out of my life, but at the end of the day it all comes down to what I did?, what will I do?, and what can I do? Sometimes you will ask yourself if what you do is even valuable and sometimes it might seem like it doesn’t, but truly deep down it is and will always be. Throughout this journey, I have faced many obstacles and will still need to face many more as the years come. However, one thing I won’t regret is making

This, right here, is what possibly may control my future. That's a pretty scary thing to step back and think about. And with that being said this is very important so i'll be trying my best to impress my audience. Some quick things about me. Im 17, 6’5, weight 150. I have Marfan's Disease, and Scoliosis. I currently live with my father, stepmother, stepsister, and step niece. I have two phobias. Emetophobia being one of them, the fear of vomit, and Kinemortophobia, the fear of zombies. Finally, my mother passed February 23rd, 2013, and July 10th, 2016 I got my first and only tattoo. The tattoo is a Cross with a banner going through it that says Mom on the top half of the banner and 1960-2013 on the bottom half. This is my Identity, now to
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. Who am I? is question that many often struggle to answer, but for me it allows me to differentiate from my constituents and express who I really am. What makes me such a unique individual is my ability to identify with 5 strong strengths. I love the fact that I am futuristic and I have the ability to relate, I am responsible, I am a developer and last but not least I am disciplined. Each one these themes shape and generate my personality. Born on February 22nd 2000 I am the only daughter to Rob and Theresa Jones. When I’m not roaming the illustrious campus of State University, I enjoy shopping I personally feel
