My Attitude Essay

Improved Essays
When I was in middle school and the beginning of my high school years, my attitude was horrible. For a fact, I know that I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am more considerate and caring. I usually just go about my days worrying about myself. I am also more social. My freshman year of college, I just went to class and went to my room. I did not participate in any activities. Now, I actually participate in the activities and attend the events that they have on campus, and sometimes off campus.

That would get me put out of class. My grandparents would ask the teachers to give me more assignments, but I knew it wasn’t going towards my overall grade. So, I would still talk while completing my busy work. Now, in college, if I talk more than my professors I know the consequences would be way worse than busy work. Also I don’t even have enough time to talk and socialize in class. I’m busy trying to comprehend what my professors are saying and matching it to my notes.

Overall, a year ago, five years ago, and ten years ago I am still the same person. It is not so much that I have changed, but I grew up and became more mature. I still will stand my ground and defend myself if needed. I’m still a smart student and complete tasks. I also remained physically active and enjoy sports.

I think others perceive the differences of my attitude the same as I. They watch me and they see how much I have evolved to become a better woman. If anything, I think I was handed more responsibilities as I matured. My family expected me to participate in more church events because they saw I was becoming more social and having a change of attitude. They felt it would help me develop more as a

    I couldn’t answer that question until around high school, where I started to understand myself more as a person. It was at this point of time where I developed an interest in psychology and how it applies to me. My beliefs, values, and feelings also started to fully blossom into what I am today, a very scrupulous, principled, and in control of my own feelings kind of person. Still to this day I am a very quiet person, only speaking when necessary. This also comes from the debater in me, I listen carefully and fully before giving input of any kind.…

    They often assume that I cannot write as well as they can or speak as intelligently as they can - which in fact, is undeniably false. I now have lost most of my accent through force - a better attempt to try and fit in with the people around me so I would not be teased as frequently - but the longer I am away from Texas, the more I miss it. The more I begin to feel homesick and saddened at the fact that I am no longer who I once was and proud to be that person. I felt forced to conceal my true self for so long, that the façade actually began to become the me I am today.…

It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless.

    Ethical Development Miranda Stroop Eastern Mennonite University When I was a young little girl, the world around me was moving too fast to understand what the expectations of me were.
