Decent Essays
Besides the information I filled out previously, I would like to add a little more about myself. As I mentioned previously, I participated in sports and clubs as well apart from school. I have earned the iron runner award for the past two years for being committed to cross country. This award was only given to the athletes who went to practice every single day and went to every single race. This is not an easy task to do and I was one of the few to be recognized. To me, this award represents all the hard work I have put in. Not only for running, but in other activities as well. I have been committed to clubs, sports, school and I have always pushed myself to be present and give the best of me in all these activities. No matter what was going

    Core values are the things that inspire us, what we believe is important, and which is significance to us in life. My core values are commitment, fairness and respect for others, and to have trust and love for one another. My most important core value is to have honesty and love.

    I know I am a workaholic and I am trying to get away from this I am learning to delegate and put my foot down, especially saying “No”.

In this manner I am learning to understand what I want and possibly how to get it.…

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

    Where do I see myself five years from now? I haven’t ever been asked this question before so it never occurred to me to actually sit down and think about it. I’m seventeen years old so at my age kids don’t really think about the future and where we see ourselves five years ahead.

    What makes me “Me”, I have asked myself this question a thousand times over the last week before it finally hit me. And what makes me who I am my upbringing and my family also where I was raised, the ranch. There are so many ways that my family and the ranch has made me the person I am. From having family supper all gathered at one table, something that is being seen less and less in these days. To working cows, my family and the ranch has had the most impact on making me the kind of man that I am proud to be.…
