What Makes Me Who Am I Essay

Improved Essays
There are several features about me that describe who I am. For instance; I can be funny, kind, intelligent and headstrong. However, I suffer from acute shyness and tend to panic easily and at times it has caused problems in my personal life. Such as writing essays about myself or having the confidence to stand in front of a room of my peers and present, but my shyness does not define who I am or what I stand for. What defines me are my passions such as animals and biology, my fears and anxieties, and my welcoming and perky personality. My fears aren’t something I can just get over; they stem from instances from my life I cannot control. My personality masks this problem. No one notices my fears because I’m such an enjoyable person. If I didn’t have these three factors, I wouldn’t be who I am. One of my passions has …show more content…
Many people say I embody the season of spring because I’m so vibrant, especially when I am not in a crowd. Due to my acute shyness, I get nervous in a crowded room, but this doesn’t stop me from trying to branch out in my own ways and break out of my shell. Often time people have found me waving to strangers in the cars passing by, but those people unfortunately, rarely ever reciprocate this action. In the aspect of color, the one that would best describe me is yellow, because I’m almost never mellow, but people tell me the color I look best in is blue. I get so many compliments when I wear this color. Most of said compliments come from my boyfriend though. There is only one person who knows me completely, and that would be my after-mentioned boyfriend, Evan. We’re like fluorine atoms, inseparable! He means everything to me and I can’t imagine what I would do if anything tragic were to happen to him. Sometimes the thoughts of such bring me into a panic; because then who would understand me, or take the time to listen to my constant ramblings and irrational fears, or just give me this level of

    Before addressing why Pitt is a good choice for me, I would like to review why I am a good choice for Pitt. The University of Pittsburgh values their “talented, diverse and high achieving students”, their “safe and healthy campuses”, their unique balance of “fun and camaraderie with internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom”, and their focus on “developing students into global citizens” (University of Pittsburgh webpage, ‘Prospective Students’). I am a well-rounded student who places priority upon academics, as well as a broad array of performing arts extracurricular activities, over 300 hours of community service, several job experiences and religious organizations. Therefore, if admitted to The University of Pittsburgh, I would fit right in with the ardent and accomplished student body, just as I would benefit as a person and as…

    You Fit Into Me Essay

    • 408 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Margaret Atwood utilizes the power of great ambiguity in terms of the physical scene and geographical location in her masterful poem “You Fit into me.” This ambiguous nature describes the wide array of female suppression that occurs all across the world. If the poem was set in a particular place or location, it would not speak to everyone. After the initial joyous tone becomes violent, Atwood communicates to all women in all different social and economic statuses that deal with oppression from helpless, unhealthy relationships which is a morose reality for millions. The first stanza describes how outsiders view a given relationship as often common people say “those two are perfect for each other.”…

    One thing that I always hear about myself is how much of a balanced person I am. At first I thought this had to do with my physical ability to balance and that wasn't it. The balance that I identify with is the ability to balance time and effort between my academics, my athletics, and social life. I find myself doing this better and better every year, as I am faced with more strenuous work loads and more responsibilities in my athletics. The teachers and coaching staff at renbrook have helped me become a lot more independent when it comes to managing my own time.…

    Growing up I was an extremely shy and introverted child who focused the majority of my time on school work. I have always been a determined person, who is adamant about building a successful future academically. Socially on the other hand, I was never encouraged to try new activities or take risks. Therefore I constantly stayed within my limits. I always ended up running the other way and as I became older my fear of the world around me became intolerable.…

    Defining Who I Am

    I've faced a good bit of internal challenges that have defined who I am today. From a young age, I have struggled with severe anxiety and, more recently, depression (past 3 years) and disordered eating (past year). The reality of my future has always been a huge question mark followed by intense fear and a vow to never plan what I'm going to do with my life ever again (it never works by the way). However, in my own little world, where I am not afraid, I've dreamed of acting. Television, film, local theatre, anything.…

    When people ask me to describe myself, I always draw a blank, I never know what to say, I’m caught off guard because I don’t really love talking about myself too often because I am someone who likes to listen rather than to talk. I always have to think about what I should say to make a good impression on whomever is asking me the question. There is a lot about me that you can see by just looking at me; I have short brunette hair, I’m short, hazel eyes, I’m quiet, and more. However, there are certain personality traits about me that every single person I know on a personal basis can tell you; I am candid, I am shy, and I am very loving.

    Looking back over the course of the semester I am honestly slightly disappointed in my performance. If I am to just reflect on how well I did in my F.Y.E class, The Buddha and Bruce, I notice I didn’t do as well as I should of. As a first year student everyone tells me that it is normal to not do as well as you hoped, but I still feel like I could have done a lot better. One of my problems was letting my social issues affect my academics as well as attendance in classes. When I was having a bad day I wouldn’t do anything at all and would miss classes.…
