Who I Am Today Research Paper

Many life experiences contribute to who I am today. One specific experience when I was six years old had proven to be the most influential.

Growing up in a Hispanic household has its ups and downs. As a first generation Latina, I have family members that are always encouraging me, wanting the best for me, and pushing me to succeed in life so that I don't go through the same hardships that they went through. I have seen struggles my parents have gone through to get to where they are now, but giving it their all to giving my siblings and I the best.

I my eyes being Hispanic means any number of things to me but above all being Hispanic means that I’m part of a community and a culture who works are and is always successful in all that they do. Being Hispanic is always being proud of who you are, where you come from and all that you have regardless of how little or how much. But perhaps one of the most beautiful things about being Hispanic is our culture, our community, and our beliefs as a culture we look out for each other and respect each other we do our best to build a community and a family everywhere we go.

To me being Hispanic means so much more than how I look, how I dress, and how I act. To me being Hispanic is the pride that I have in myself, for my culture, and the connection we as Hispanic/Latinos have as a community. With being Hispanic/Latino one grows up with traditions that have been around for many years. Quinceañeras being one of them. For my family having a quinceañera was the way of telling family and friends that I was turning into a woman. On the other hand, those that are not in the Hispanic/Latino community can throw a Sweet Sixteen party for their children to show their adulthood. Other things that may vary within heritages are traditions for certain holidays. For example, Christmas, every year we as a family travel to each

Growing up hispanic means so many things to me, from having the best abuelitas and abuelitos, to late night conchas because we have to wait til midnight to open christmas presents. It has taught me that family is so important and that there are no guidelines to who or where your family comes from. There has not been one person to walk through our front door who does not immediately become"mija"or "mijo". Being hispanic also means that there is never a dull moment, there is always going to be a cousin doing something crazy and an uncle trying to dance at quinceanera. I learned so early one to never take myself too seriously. Part of being hispanic means being a welcoming person and whenever anyone is in need you are right there for them, because

Being Hispanic to me means being different, strong, hard-working, and colorful. I go to school in a little village called Baltimore, with a whopping population of just under 3,000 people. Living in such a small village has its ups and downs, for instance, you get to know everyone, but you also really get to know everyone. One of the downsides of living in this area is the lack of diversity. In my entire high school, there is a total of five Hispanic students including myself. Growing up I never saw myself as different to my classmates, we were all just in school to learn about education, life, and each other. It wasn’t until my middle school years when I found out that not everybody watched “El Chavo del Ocho” Saturday mornings or put Tajin

Being Hispanic to me, is like having a whole other perspective on how I see and do things. One of the main things that I have come to terms with being Hispanic is that your family is always going to stick together no matter how far apart they are from one another. My Uncle has a son that lives with his mother across the country but the family still stays in touch. When ever we get the chance for everyone to be able to come together for an event, nobody would be missing and that is one of the things that I greatly love. The next thing that I love about being Hispanic is that the food is always good, so you are never going to be hungry. Whatever my Grandmother cooks is something I will eat in a matter of seconds, its just that good. My favorite

When I was born, a package titled "Latina" was included inside of me. As I grew older into the proud young lady I am today, I began to unravel the beautiful gift I inherited from my ancestors of being Hispanic and discovered its bountiful benefits. Family oriented, of strong faith and character, passionate, and hard-working are some of the attributes incorporated in this special package, but my absolute favorite one is the fierce attitude of never giving up, which to me, is the real meaning of being Hispanic.

I was born and raised in Laredo all my life, living in this environment has shaped me into the person I am today. Having both my parents come from Nuevo Laredo, the Mexican heritage greatly influenced my family. We would often take part in Mexican traditions, such as Dia De Los Muertos, Cinco de Mayo, etc. Taking part in these traditions allow me to build a stronger connection to my Mexican ties. I grew up in a relatively small family when I was at the age of five, but as I got older, it got bigger around the age of ten. My family consisted of eight people, I grew up being the second oldest among five other siblings. My parents held me to the expectation of being a role model for my younger siblings, I wanted to be as big as an influence on my younger siblings as my sister was on myself.

Outline your Personal Narrative What one event has shaped you into who you are today?

The person you are today, is simply result of external interactions. Every decision or event that mentally or physically influences you, influences who you are to become. I find it healthy to occasionally, sit back in the mixt of our crazy gadget obsessed, overly crowded, busy life styles, and contemplate the decisions and obstacles, (both good and bad), that brought me to where I am today. Although, I have a very positive outlook on life, there are certainly things that I wish I could change.

Every experience I have had and accomplishments I have attained in the past helped define who I am today. Everything I have gone through and have done in the previous years of my life molded me into the person I am today. Not only did they shape me into who I am but also guided me in discovering the potentials I have buried deep within me and those I never thought I had. These experiences and accomplishments often mold us into someone we never thought we would be. Looking back at my past, it was not all good. I regret nothing, however, for I know that everything in life happens for a reason – may they be good or bad. Without the challenges and hardships of the past, I may not be who I am today. Back when I was in elementary school, I always

It is very interesting to write an essay about myself. There are many things? want to let you know? about my personality. Firstly, my full name is Khalid Ahmed Abdulah Hasan Abdulrahem Ben Hasan. I was born on 26th of March,2000.? I was born in Dubai, but I am a Saudi. My father is Saudi. My mother is Emirati. I come from a great tribe named Tamimmi. It is one of the biggest tribe's in Saudi Arabia. My ancestors were in Saudi Arabia more than 1400 years ago. At some point some of my tribe's members and many other tribe's as well left Saudi Arabia as they were looking for a better life. They did not stay away for long. They came back to settle in Dubai. But my family ended up to settle in Saudi Arabia.

I come from a big Mexican cultural family, family oriented too I must add. The bond I have with my parents, sisters and cousins my age is strong and unbreakable. I didn’t need much friends because the friendship I have with them is more than enough. I was raised in a home with two hardworking, loving and amazing parents. And because of them I am the person who I am today. Also thanks to them I have always had everything I need, I was never missing anything. Always had a roof over my head, food on my plate, clothes on my back and a bed to rest on. Seeing how hard they had to work for the things I needed made me realize that nothing in life is free and you have to work for the things you need, and work even harder for the things you want. Living in the home I was raised in taught me values. Values of honesty, love, responsibility, kindness and respect. Even though my parents are strict and tough with me at times I know it’s for the benefit of my own good and they’re just making sure I do what’s best for me, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other

As a child, I was introduced to many people that have impacted my life significantly. Whether it was positive or negative, it still taught me valuable lessons. Furthermore, there was a fair amount of issues that have caused problems throughout my life, resulting in me spending quite some time by myself. However this hasn't affected my goals and decision to be someone in life. Provided that I had a high expectations of me, i have and will always continue to do good in school and keep my reputation clean. For this reason I strive to stay true to myself and stay away from the wrong crowd.
