Personal Narrative: My Personal Philosophy

Improved Essays
A philosophy is a system of beliefs and values. It is an academic discipline, a system of thinking and has values of tenants. My personal philosophy is built on a triangle.

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    Tasked with crafting a personal moral philosophy, I ultimately started with one question to energize my efforts and frame the problem: what is a moral philosophy? Moral philosophy as defined by Merriam Webster dictionary is the study of human conduct and values. Conduct and values are words that I can easily identify with and thus the metacognition phase began. It is often naturally assumed that everyone can rattle off in a sentence or two, a philosophy that guides them however, I struggled with coalescing defined and abstract ideas into a coherent set of principals that represent the values, that have been shaped, modified, or changed by my life experiences. I have been conditioned, much like many organizational leaders to have an appreciation for acronyms.…

When I think about my worldview and what has influenced it, there are several people who have shaped it to be the way it is today. The two that stand out to me the most are my church small group leader Kari and my high school English teacher, Mrs. Kestle.…

I could not wait for my new teacher to saunter up to me, eyes full of admiration, and give me my paper. I had worked hard on it for nearly two months during the summer prior to this new school year. Looking around the room at my new classmates, it was easy to tell who had done the summer assignments, especially with their conspicuous faces.…

    Jackie Robinson once said “I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… all I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” This was my motto as i moved to the USA from Egypt at the age of six years old.
