Who I Am As A Person

When beginning to describe a person there are many different qualities, values, fears, likes, and dislikes that make up the puzzle pieces to who they are. Everyone has their own unique and intricate personality that makes no two people the same. When attempting to illustrate who I am I thought it would be best to begin to describe myself through my character traits.

You want to know what shaped/molded me as student. Wow, that's a funny qurstion! I believed I didn't know what made me who I am, but as I look back and forth, I realized, it was me. I am my own motivation. I don't look up to anyone, I just look forward to something. I am a believer, dreamer, achiever, and wonderer. As I look around me and see how my family and others of a different and same ethnicity living their whole life on a budget, barely making ends meet, I tell myself I will be better and become better. I will not let my surroundings select or change the way I am. When I was younger, I believed everything would just come and fall into my arms. I wanted to be all of the occupations I seen on TV. I planted in my head that I would be a

Mark henan: We have any military veterans in the audience today? At ease all that “rucus”, what do you think this is? college? Greetings to chairman Davis. President Jackson. Members of the board and trustees. Family ,friends, and my fellow graduates. May I share, may I share, my story in an essay format. After high school I went to college for one term and quit. Joined the army and 20 years later I found myself in the final stages to deploy to Iraq. Unfortunately, I was injured. My team with whom I had a bond forged in steel went to Iraq without me, but not everyone retuned. They sacrificed their dream so that we could dream big. And today I speak for those who no longer have a voice. As the story goes my injuries left me immobile and I couldn’t

B.Thesis - I am going to talk about his transition from his past to the present, through his personal experience, interest in exploring and how he strives to be independent.

Growing up, I was surrounded by a constant stream of information and discussion about current events. My father is a lawyer and is actively involved in the political community. The constant talk of government and community activism in my home had a major contribution on how I started to plan my future endeavors. The desire

A narrative essay “describes events that people want to share with readers”. Some events may include a traumatic event, a life-lesson learned, or a triumph, the options are limitless. A narrative must have a beginning, middle, and end to reach the reader and not confuse them. Metaphors and other parts of speech are often used to allow the reader to get an accurate understanding of what the author is trying to pursue. The objective of a narrative is to tell one story with a purpose, not a list of stories to connect to the main story, or else the reader will be confused

Then that got me interested in the government. I started reading books and watching fox news. Then I found the history channel. It is not really about history ,it should be called Las Vegas business. Then I wanted to go to Vegas ,my dad took me and I learned a lot

“Where Are You Going, Were Have You Been” by Joyce Oates, is one of most the craziest, unexpected plot twist of a story I have ever read. Through this short story you are narrated through the background of the ups and downs of a young girl’s life and through the strange encounter with a peculiar man. Joyce Oates will make you question, and feel alongside her main character as you try to grasp onto this strange fictional mystery.

Storytelling, in the form of both personal narratives and the established literary tradition, gives us a fuller understanding of ourselves and the experiences we have with others. "The whole point of stories," he says, "is not 'solutions' or 'resolutions' but a broadening and even heightening of our struggles…" (p. 129). Stories remind us of what is important in life, counsel us, point us in new and/or different directions, engage us in self-reflection, and sometimes inspire us to lead a different life all together.

This encouraged me to study Politics to better understand the world around me. I read “Defending Politics: Why Politics Matters in the 21st Century” by Matthew Flinders looking at how young people can be better engaged in Politics. This aided my appreciation of the compromise for the public good involved in Politics, whilst “Why Politics Matters: Making Democracy

Stories are told through various forms of literature, and the overall point of telling a story is to convey a message, a meaning that the author wants the reader to interpret and understand. The author does

I was born _name__ on _date__ in _place__. I am a son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. I was desperately shy as a small child, but grew out of it. My teen years were happy times sports, friends, summers spent in __place_. It all helped shape me into who I am today. My interests are many. I have always enjoyed reading about history and follow the history channel faithfully. I love music. It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I find it calming when life gets rocky.

The question “who am I”? Can have a lot of individuals thinking about themselves, including myself because one might not know where to start. It is a very broad question, but having done the Strengths Finder 2.0 assessment, I realized more in depth what kind of person I really am based on my top 5 strengths. Who I am as a learner, who I am in my career and who I am as a person of faith lead me to answering the question above and understanding more of myself within.

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.

When I look in the mirror I know whom I am, but society makes it difficult to understand who I am, because I was born to immigrants of Nigerian descent, and I am a first generation American, that term is sometimes used so loosely. By looking at my name they assume that I am from some island, but I am so quick to tell them that “I am Nigerian”, there is another statement that normally follows this. “You do not have an accent”.
