My full name is David Grant Ho. I was born on August 19, 1995. Including myself, I come from a family of four, with my mother, and two older brothers. I am of Vietnamese descent and am the only person in my family to be born in America. My two older brothers and I have the same birth month as well coincidentally. I was born and raised in California throughout my entire life, particularly in the Bay Area of Northern California. A personal quality that relates to the person that I am today is responsibility. I have always blamed others for my faults and misfortunes, and always had someone and/or something to take the fault for me when I did something wrong. I was a very unsuccessful person in many aspects of life because of this toxic mentality. Growing up, adults often spoke about being responsible. They use this word to describe the virtue of doing what you are told. It is your responsibility to clean your room. It is your response to do your homework. It is your responsibility to pass the test, measure up, and fit in with others around you. It is your responsibility to live with the fear of failure, never taking any risk. Be responsible. I use to always hate that word back then, not until when I started to fully understand what it meant. Throughout a …show more content…
It was a concept that ran through my mind often growing up. I hated this concept, because I use to perceive negatively as a way of people trying to control me. But now I think the concept of taking responsibility is one of the most fundamental concepts in life towards being truly happy. Knowing that you are in full control and taking full accountability for your actions, you have complete ease of mind, and are at peace with yourself. No one is going to make your decisions, or take responsibility for your actions. Our greatest ability as human beings is are self awareness in us having the power of
The state or fact of having to deal with something or of having control over someone
Being responsible refers to our ability to make decisions that serve our own interests and the interests of others. We first need to be responsible for ourselves before we can be responsible for others. In learning to be more responsible it is important that we know our limitations. It does not matter how smart we are, there is only so much responsibility that one person can handle at any given time. It is also important to remember that we are not responsible for thing that are out of our control, for example, how other people think and feel or how they react to ourselves or others. Sharing responsibility for both success and failure can lead to increased responsibility to oneself and to others. When you
Staying me Wiz Khalifa once said “The most daring thing is to be yourself and to do exactly what you want to do at the point in time and not to be worried about what other people are doing or what's popular.” The poem “Me” by Walter de la Mare reminded me of this quote by Wiz. Walter says “as long as I live I shall always be myself” reminds me of when I was first coming to Shep and I wanted to fit in. When he compares himself to the trees, there is all different kinds of trees and all different kinds of people he could be but he chooses to be himself and so do I. The last verse of the poem he says “always just me” shows that he only ever wants to be himself and I feel the same way.
I believe in living life how you want to, dancing like no one’s watching, loving like you’ll never be hurt, and living like heaven is on Earth. (I know it’s not an Original quote, nevertheless it fits in the essay.) One of the many beautiful aspects of mine is my love for the holidays such as, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s day, Groundhog Day etc. I would always dress for the occasion, a Bunny, Cupid, an Elf, you name it because I loved the spirit and the mystical magic that it encompassess.
When i was in elementary school all the kids got along there was no clique and all that stuff, but my first year of middle school i was introduced to cliques. There was the cool kids, the smart kids, the athletes, the gothics kids etc. There was so many cliques but i didnt fit into any of them. i tried to force myself to fit in to any of them. i made a group of friends but i didnt really like their vibe they were mean and rude and didnt care about anyones feelings. Not even mine. I stopped talking to them and just started doing my own thing. I started to have better grades and felt happier to be myself. Thats when i started to believe that being myself was the best thing for me.
Here is a little about me..I'm a personable, eclectic man who embraces situations to the fullest! Life is very short... So I try to glean all the joy out of each day. I am very open-minded and non-judgmental will play any sport but don't really watch any. I just figure there is some terrible cosmic practical-joke being played on me if I sit there sedentary while I watch other people run around. Now I know that doesn't apply to chess, but who made it a sport anyways? (I actually think the people who control bowling pushed for chess to be a sport so they would not be at the very bottom of the physically-taxing sport list) things that make me teary-eyed: Dumbo's mother picking him up; Writing the check for my taxes; Drinking my last bottle of a great wine; The ending of Six Feet Under; Clair de lune.
Defining oneself is the difficult part of our life but we might think our outer appearances will define who we are, or our dress up and makeup will tell them how we look like. We want to prettify our face shining and want to wear the beautiful dresses in order to have the better pictures. We also want to eat less in order to have the better body size to be seen prettier in other’s eyes. That's is how we visualize and define ourselves. In general understanding we want to be good and perfect in other eyes, we need appreciation and expect always their positive feedback but life doesn’t come to be true what we have been thinking.
Sometimes a person may feel that they have no purpose in life. Finding out who you are just takes the time of sitting down and thinking of the importance in your life. Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a wonderful best friend.
What makes me who I am? What are my traits? People are born with their own special traits and personality. People have taken personality tests that allow them to know which trait they have. However, one can determine her or his personality and know truly oneself through family, friends or colleagues. My small family has always emphasized the importance of values which have had an enormous impact on my whole life. There are three primary aspects of traits that characterize me and shaped me to who I am today. The two main characteristics of traits that my family and friends describe me with them are hardworking and trustworthy, but the empathetic trait is the one traits that I can use to describe myself.
In college, my friends would constantly complain about how difficult writing English essays could be. This always puzzled me, as I found them to be a breeze--I 'd always get fairly high grades, even when I had no idea what I was talking about (which was most of the time). I don 't consider myself to be a particularly great writer, though, I simply picked up on a few simple ways to ensure a high grade on any English essay. Here 's a few tips for making sure that your English class essays consistently earn high marks. 1. Strong opening, strong finish. The most important tip to keep in mind while writing English essays for a class is that many teachers pay the most attention to the opening and final paragraphs. Do everything that you can to make these paragraphs as strong as possible--write conservatively, but passionately, and use an interesting hook to get your teacher 's attention in the beginning. The end of your essay is your chance to sum up the entire document, so don 't skip out and write a simple ending. You should spend more time on your opening and closing statements than on any other part of your essay. 2. Read the rubric carefully. Different English teachers want different things, but they 'll usually tell you exactly what they 're looking for in an essay. It 's really easy to read a rubric and dash off an essay, but if you don 't follow the assignment closely, you 'll lose big points. Pay attention to little things like font selection and essay form--if the
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.
To most people, when they hear people mention the word responsible they often assume that they did something wrong. For example, when teachers say, “Who is responsible for this,” people believe that someone has done something wrong. In my eyes, that is not how I see myself at all. Teachers usually tell me to watch the class if they step out because of my responsibility skills. I have learned that when someone trusts me or holds me responsible for something and I do not do it, I lose that person’s trust and it would be very hard to get that trust back. When people hold me responsible, I take that as a compliment because they know that I am
I’ve always been interesting in cosmetics. As a child, I would go into my mothers makeup and smear lipstick all over my face and spill nail polish on the carpets trying to paint my nails. And yes there are pictures. Getting older I would watch my sisters do their makeup and then watch youtube videos on it too. After graduating high school I was lost. No direction of what I wanted to do with my life. With a gap year not being an option, thanks to my mother, and not wanting to sit in another math class again I turned to what I loved most cosmetics. Cosmetology was daunting. Hair is definitely not my forte but skin was different. And with that I knew what I wanted to do. Not thinking twice I enrolled in esthetics
Who am I? I am Leticia Martinez, a 21 years old, mother of two beautiful children with an amazing husband and currently working on increasing my culture capital by pursuing a college degree. I am a strong independent woman who is full of life and not afraid to take any challenge life brings. I am a woman who never allows anything or anyone bring me down. But before I was able to discover the person I am today. I had three agents of socialization build me. These agents consisted of my stepfather, my family, and school. Some people learn to be strong because they are taught but I learned to be strong by facing life a very unpleasant way.
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”. I wonder if I had an accent would I be considered Nigerian and not American; then I say that “My parents are Nigerian” and then that changes, so to them I am just associated with the Nigerian culture it does not make me Nigerian, there has been many discussion between my friends who are the same like me confused to
