The Importance Of Who I Am I

When I became a 7th grader and the mid and end term exams started, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to spend much time with my family anymore, but would force myself to stay solemnly and desperately in my own room. Sometimes, I would linger in the living room, talking with my family – allowing myself to talk just a minute longer. What people might call “family love” got in my way, and prevented me from studying initially. It took me time to understand what I need to prioritize.

Family involvement plays a major role when helping students prosper in the school setting. In order for children to be successful, as a teacher, we have to provide support to the parent’s to make an effort in wanting to play apart in that success. Communication plays a major part in the effective relationship between families and school. Giving the parents a sense of idea as to how their child is doing in school is built through the student’s academic needs.

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.

Raised by a single parent mother and the oldest of five siblings between my long estranged parents, I witnessed her daily tears and varied struggles to provide basic food, make a comfortable home out of our cramped one bedroom dwelling, to as much as alternating when each child attended school. I was given preference because I exhibited the most potential and eventually earned rallying support from teachers throughout elementary and secondary schools. They pooled personal resources to help sustain my education, filling the gaps providing books, lunch and transportation whenever my mother fell short. Symbolically, I believe that it was my mother's tears that propelled me to complete my high school education miraculously affording me a substantive platform from which to further myself.

In “The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts” Alfred Lubrano uses his personal experience with college education and his parents to come up with the statement: “Every bit of learning takes you further from your parents". In his writing, he goes over how his eyes were first opened to the idea that school could bring you further from your parents, when he read a book titled “Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez”, where the writer was quoted as saying: “Home life is in the now, school life exists on an altogether different lane, with an eye towards the future”. Alfred’s belief throughout his article is that school brings you to a reality that separates and distances you from your parents and home-life.

During Sharon M. Drapers childhood years, they were very successful because of her parents. Her parents encouraged her and her siblings to study, work hard, and as a result they could reach any goal they set for themselves. As encouraging as her parent were, they would set standards for each child and push them to be the best they could be. Her parents taught her that every opportunity you get you take because you never know what the future holds for many cases. In the educational aspects “For her parents education was precious commodity”. (SharonDraper1) Ever since the time

There are many factors that shape us into who we are, and who we will become. Some of these factors we can control, while others we cannot. While we are born into many traits of our identities, much of our other behavior is learned. My identity, for example, is “based not only on responses to the question ‘Who am I?’ but also on responses to the question ‘Who am I in relation to others?’” (Allen, 2011, p. 11). My identity and the question of who I am, are both influenced by many aspects of my life, including my hometown, my family, my friends, and my beliefs and moral values.

Personality wise, I am honest and try my very best in going towards my goal. I am also very patient with others and willing to cooperate in activities for the benefit of the better good and inspiration. I will admit I am a shy person, but once you get to know me I am outgoing. Meeting new people is not a new experience to me since I am used to new environments. Being involved in my generation helps me value myself more and to stay motivated and active. My interests in the future can change or even personally develop again but I would like to think for now, all I need is my motivation and positivity to keep learning and to never give

See growing up in a large family like mines education was very important. Despite we didn’t have many to graduate from college put a lot of pressure on me. See my grandparents didn’t go to high school or college. So, they were real hard on their kids about go to school and graduate. So, made my parents hard on my brother and me about our education. My brother and me will be the first in our large family to graduate from college. My mom was real hard on me because she didn’t want me to go to in be like her. She had

I come from a long line of over-achievers, hard workers, and valedictorians. That’s a lot of pressure to live up to. I’ve always tried my hardest in school to continue the tradition. Some say that my family just has good genes or that I “inherited my parent’s smartness”. Looking back now, I can say that smart genes had nothing to do with my success. David O. McKay once said, “No other success in life can compensate for failure in the home.” The person I am today—an over-achiever, a hard worker, a soon-to-be valedictorian—is only due to two people: my mom and dad. Their advice and support, their unwavering commitment to building a strong family, and their quiet, powerful example has made me the person I am today, and for that, I am eternally

Applying these four themes- family influences, physical development, cognitive development, and personality development- throughout my lifespan, it has shown me that I have become a stronger individual. Even though, my family is not perfect I have learned the right and wrong this to do if I ever decide to get married and raise a family of my own. Being a "miracle" baby, writing this paper opened my eyes as to how close I was from not existing today, which has shown me to not take like for granted and to live in the present. Furthermore, having an education program like AVID helped me completely turn my life around. It has helped me to push myself into becoming a better individual and to strive to achieve any goals and dreams that I decide to pursue. To continue, my personality I believe that school has helped me in dealing with my parents divorce but, I think that during that time in my life I learned to put a barrier up around certain people at times. I do not think this is a healthy thing for me to keep doing and I am going to make changes in my life to help correct that. Finally, this was my journey into my childhood and how I discovered things about me that helped shape the way I am

Growing up, I hated school. The sinking feeling I got hearing people talk about academics was distressing. Every time I heard the words “mathematics” or “language arts” used in speech I would cringe reminding myself of what I struggle with. Looking back at this struggle, I realize that it helped define the essential components of my personality. Without this hardship, I would not have the resiliency, enthusiasm, or diligence that I have today to face my educational and real - life endeavors.

There are several keys factor about my personality that shapes the person I am today. When I was a little girl I use to wonder what type of personality I have the type of personality quality I have are ambition, strength, free

If you walk continuously along a straight path, you will never be found again. But on a cyclic path, you come back repeatedly at the starting point and eventually cover endless distance, provided the energy and system remain intact. Interestingly, most phenomena occurring in nature favour a cyclic rather than straight path.

Countless studies and meta-analysis have been done on the effect of the individual personality on success, whether it be within the workplace or an educational institute (ETS, 2016).
