Jump back in time to 2011-2013, where I was clueless about the world. I took in all of the information I was taught or told without questioning it. I was oblivious to anything outside of school. My fears, what I cared about, who I was, type of person I was, and how I have transformed into who I am today is what I am going to tell you.
My biggest fears in middle school were not maintaining a 4.0 GPA and not turning in my homework on time. Also, I was moderately scared of death. My great grandma died before sixth grade, and my great grandpa passed away at the end of seventh grade. I thought death was a strange topic, which I avoided.
On a personal level I only cared about myself, but if people needed assistance, I helped them. I never worried

My younger self would be a harsh critic on the me now for not achieving higher grades. She would be down in the doldrums that I never found anyone to hang out with on the weekends. In contrast, she would be glad I am reserving my weekends for homework. My younger self would be proud of how far I have come in life knowing that I have found things out about the world. Allowing me to realize how fortunate I am to have accomplished what I have. She would be overjoyed I have found a handful of people who I speak with every day. In some aspects, my middle school self would be jealous of the places I have been too. I have always wanted to travel and I got the opportunity to go to Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland before junior year. Before senior year, I am going to Costa Rica.
As a result of growing up, I transformed physically, emotionally, and psychologically. I changed physically, because of puberty or as the kids say today glow up. I altered my emotions by accepting things in life, because I share my personal life with others. I would say the most significant transformation I have gone through is psychological. I have had the opportunity of learning and experiencing a quantum amount of things. The younger me would be be satisfied with junior
I have become my own person. I have become more dependable and have a better understanding of knowing what is right and standing up for others. By having a job, this has also helped me to become who I am. Working has helped me to have a more positive attitude about life and have become a good problem solver. It has helped to start thinking about the future and starting to invest for it. Throughout high school I’ve also played many sports. Being part of a team has helped me to learn that everyone on the team is a leader and you have to be able to say positive and support your teammates even when you are
Well if I am completely honest I have a handful of fears but my biggest fear would be my future and the future of my generation. Anything associated with the future causes me to worry and a stir of panic to strike through my heart or it can causes me to have an indifferent response and not want to do anything that can help my future self.
My worst fear is getting shots. This arose when I was two years old, and had many visits to the doctor’s office because there were concerns about my respiratory system. I had to have many blood tests, which weren’t only scary, but also were painful. The blood tests came out normal, but it was later discovered I had asthma. After I had a severe reaction to tree nuts at around five, I had to have even more blood tests to determine if I had other allergies.
Growing up is a journey we all have to travel. Everyone makes their own paths on an adventure of change. Along the way, the path will be beautiful and smooth-sailing, bumpy and rough, and sometimes conflict will appear out of the blue. At times forks in the road will show up and decisions must be made. Change is inevitable. Throughout a lifetime decisions made will be small and slight, or huge and major. It does not matter because one decision can change one’s path completely. Even the slightest change can make the difference. The decision could even be a change of hairstyle. A change in hairstyle could lead to a new fashion sense, to a new genre of music, to a completely new person. I myself have noticed many differences and similarities between my middle school self and now; and it is only the beginning.
Four years ago I thought I knew everything, I was invincible, and no one or nothing could stop me. Then I started high school at Topeka High and realized just how much I didn’t know. Like no one dresses up in formal attire to attend the homecoming school dance. If you have to walk from first floor to third floor don’t attack all three flights of stairs at once, and that if you want someone to make a SHORT announcement on the intercom, don’t ask Mr. Hays.
If I no what i’m doing I’ll help out.I help out with anything, like for example if I have money & a homeless person ask for money I will help them out & give them like two or three dollars if I have it.I will help anyone out if they ask. I am not selfish. I was raise to be kind to others, no matter they are not. I just can’t sit there & no if somebody in need of help I want help them, I help.
I was afraid of Hurricanes, Volcanoes, and water. Let me tell you my fear from the beginning. I was in Kauai. on my 2nd day there at we spent the day at the St. Regis hotel “just checking it out” but my dad asked if we could stay here even though we weren't guests and on the employees said the only way we could stay is renting a cabana for 5 hours with free lunch for only 250 dollars so we said, “yes,” and we were so pumped. As fast as we could we splashed in the water like a bunch of 3 and 4 year old's.
One fear I had for college was not being able to keep up with my academic assignment and falling behind. Taking several classes through the summer and having a load of assignments was hard for me to handle. When we were given our schedules for the
Helping others and being honest helps me keep a positive attitude and live a happier, more fulfilled life. I expect myself to always treat others with respect and to help those in need, because I believe that it’s the right thing to do. Helping others in their time of need also gives them a chance to better themselves and may even encourage them to do the same for somebody else in
I have actually had many experiences in my life (both professional and personal) in which I found myself helping other people in need. In my personal life, just one example, is of a homeless veteran who is usually positioned near
"The more we know the world around us, the more successful we will be." This quote, from the introduction of my high school chemistry book, was my driving force as a teenager to attend college. My expectations of college were to gain insight into a world that I had not yet discovered. I had high aspirations of receiving a good education and obtaining a good job when I graduated. But four years later when graduation day arrived, I felt unfulfilled. In evaluating my education, I realized that I learned how to get good, but not great grades. I learned how to study to make the most of my time. The focus I shared with many of my peers was not always to appreciate the information received, but rather, to value the counsel from someone else who
I am cared for by a single hard working mother. She works over 72 hours consecutively as a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Our household consist of my 2 month old brother, my mother, and myself. I have an older brother who passed away from a fatal motorcycle accident approximately 3 years ago. We reside on Martin Luther King Jr. Street on the east side of Boynton Beach. Many would label my community 'ghetto', unstable, and non prosperous. To top it off, I am a young, black, woman. Throughout my time on earth I've never let these factors define who I am and what I am capable of accomplishing; however, my society does. We live in a world today where the most malicious people hold power and the justice of laws aren't enforced. I am aware of the criminals
Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.
When I am at best, I help people. I motivate myself and feel motivated when I get to help others. Whether it’s a stranger, colleague, friends, or family, I feel my passion in assisting those in need. As long as it’s within my capability and moral belief that what people ask for help is ethical and legal, I give them my attention and time. I feel happy that I am able to give a hand, and I feel happy to see people become happy with the help I give them. Helping others put smiles on my face and also on them as well. I feel proud of myself that I have the power to help the
