Reflective Essay: Digging Better In To My Personality

Improved Essays

I am a football player, with the utmost passion and desire for the game. I am a father, who loves, cares, and provides for his family. And I am a student striving for greatness, and I have an introverted personality that most people greatly appreciate. I challenge myself with long and short term goals everyday, hoping to become a better person. Knowing who you are at your core is true personality.

Digging deeper in to your personality is an outstanding way to find out who you really are; truly analyzing yourself. In this essay I will use three particular …show more content…
In my sensorimotor stage I was a very well behaved and an independent child. Most parents give their children pacifiers when they are at this age, usually to calm them down if they are upset. My mother said I never used a pacifier because I hardly ever cried. I believe that since my mother was already experienced in taking care of children when she had birth with me, she knew what I wanted at the exact times, and she provided with precision. This helped form me into the independent person I am today. Out of my four brothers, I had the highest GPA in high school and I am the only one of us to go to college. Our emotions are very different as well and I believe that has a lot to do with how you were raised in your sensorimotor stage. All three of my older brothers are very emotional compared to me. All three of them have anger issues that they cannot control which has caused them all to be in verbally abusive relationships. The sensorimotor stage is very influential on our emotions and

There are many ways that a person can tell you that works to become a better thinker, but it starts within you. While writing papers this fall semester, I learned that my writing became better when I a. understood what was being asked of me via the criteria, b. allowed myself to make mistakes in order to understand what I was and wasn 't doing correctly, c.

    My Ethnography My own personal theme is about resilience. Throughout my life I have shown evidence of resilience by overcoming challenges such as being on poverty and not being able to pay bills for a while, sometimes needing to borrow money from others. To overcome the obstacles I gave my family hope inspiration because of how hard I was working in school so I made them think that if I can get decent grades in school and still have lots of free time to do my chores, rest and do things that I like. I have seen lots of people in poverty in my neighborhood because they aren’t always able to get new clothes or shoes when they need it the most.…

    Elizaveta Prigozhina Self-Recommendation I'm a grateful, opportunity seeking, dashing person with high goals and the strength to believe in myself even when no one does. I'm a feminist and an anti-racist, who wants to become influential enough in order to empower women and fight against racism. I have had many ups and downs in life like most people do, which have helped me become stronger. Helping my best friend battle anorexia in 2015 was one of the hardest things I've been through, since seeing someone very meaningful to you, basically shrink and stand on the edge is an absolutely inexplicable, terrifying feeling that many of us have probably experienced.…

    I clearly remember how angry I was when I watched a video about a two-year-old Chinese girl who was hit by a truck five years ago. The poor girl, then, was left to death by almost 20 people who passed by. How human being – an only creature who can feel love – could have such a cruel action? I had kept that anger for almost five years until I learned about the “bystander bias,” which is the tendency for any given bystander to be less likely to give aid if other bystanders are present. The presence of many people can make individuals “scruple” to help poor victims.…

    My mother leans very far to the right and I usually wake up in the morning to conservative radio so it’s safe to say that I tend to lean right courtesy of her. But that’s normal, it’s impossible to have a completely neutral opinion in politics, moderacy is possible but even the most moderate of moderates leans a bit more one way than the other. I’ve always considered myself to be a libertarian, and I still do. For this reason I scoffed at this assignment when I’d first heard of it.…

    Where has time gone? I am now a freshman in college writing well-developed papers with over 1,000 words, trying to master and hone my skills I’ve gained over the years. No longer am I that tiny little kid sitting in the back of the room in my kindergarten class, learning how to write words and learn the fundamentals of writing.
