Who I Am Research Paper

Improved Essays
The purpose of this assignment was to reflect on myself who I was, who I am and who I wish to become. The problem for me is I have never really known much about myself. It’s not that I am a stranger with myself it’s just explaining Myself has never been a strong skill for me. I am not completely

I have been told that I am a multimodual learner. This is somewhat true. I know learn different things different ways but the dominant way I learn is Visually. If I put something together I will briefly scan the directions and start. I would only return if I feel it is incomplete. I have to sit towards the front of class. Although it is easier to become singled out by professors I am more likely to be prepared.

I have an INFP type personality. INFP stands for “Introversion, Intuition, feeling, perception” This means I am creative (which is a new one for me). I am also a strong egalitarian. I have always been one to cheer on the underdog. Fellow INFPs are JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling, Edgar Allen Poe, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

Most of my skills are general such as being open minded, flexible and passionate.

I volunteer regularly at my local church but, I don’t have anything that doesn’t have some connection to the church. Christmas day dinners, Easter outreach, back to school and others I have always worked on. The Christmas dinners require extensive preparation and I’m the one who helps wherever I can, Easter outreach I’m the other Easter bunny or his assistant. In addition to help prepare 300 eggs I help scatter them through a field. The others are usually held at apartments where we help the children and parents. We bring in things like backpacks, notebooks and coats. This is my involvement inside the community. I think this is when I learned I was a helping type of person. It was not a challenge. it was me doing something for someone else for once. I have learned life is not fair and just but we can help balance

    Who am I? That is a very deep question. I think the only way I can answer that truthfully is by saying, I do not know exactly who I am, but I know who I want to become. I want to become a well rounded individual, someone who everyone likes and looks up too. I want to be someone my family can be proud of.…

    In the past few years, I’ve volunteered with a variety of organizations from National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, and Key Club. I have also co-founded a Community Outreach Club at high school. Through the Church I’ve assisted with Vacation Bible School and middle school retreats. One of my favorite memories came from volunteering for the first time with National Spanish Honor Society. Choosing to participate in this program was not a difficult decision, since I knew I wanted to continue practicing my Spanish and volunteer in the community at the same time.…

    Audrey Hepburn once said “As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.” I have been very fortunate to discover the incredible rewards of volunteering at a young age, and through engaging in the true gift of service I have committed myself to making a difference in my community through voluntarism.

The Little Light House is tuition free Christian development center that provides educational and therapeutic services to children with special needs.…

    Every week, I always attend the meeting that presents new opportunities for community service. Some volunteer events that I have participated in over the course of the past two years are the Tualatin Food Pantry, Race for the Cure, Project Jumpstart, and the student store. Some ways I offer service outside of school is by being assistant to an art teacher every week and volunteering at the Beaverton Foodbank occasionally.

    I was able to volunteer at a local bank that was sponsoring the Lake Park Elementary School for the holiday season. The school has over 300 underprivileged students between the ages of kindergarten and fifth grade. Most of the students at that school only have one meal per day. Along with other volunteers, I packaged bags that contained candy, toys, toiletries, a blanket, and a pair of athletic shoes. The bags were able to provide the children with goods that we often take for granted.…

    Being an immigrant born in a Christian family from a far east Asian country, i was always exposed to different and vibrant cultures. As a kid, my dad used to teach Korean to other Korean immigrants in the neighborhood, and I met many different people through school and our Korean lessons. I met people of all ethnicity, and since I also lived in a military area, I was able to befriend many people who were in the military. Due to the experiences I've had with many different cultures and ethnicity, I've grown to become accepting and tolerant towards beliefs that I might not necessary believe. Throughout my life, I've been helping the local churches around my neighborhood and teaching willing people Korean because it is something I can do to help and educate my community.…
