Personal Narrative: My Eighth Characteristics

Decent Essays
My eighth characteristic is another one I’m not proud of. The eighth one is that I’m very temperamental. It does not take much to make me upset. If someone says something or does something I don’t like, I immediately get an attitude or become very upset. I remember one day my mother tried to make me wear an outfit I did not like and I immediately got upset. I remember yelling at my mother and getting really angry. Little things can upset me just like big things. I’m not sure what caused this to happen. I think it’s because I went through puberty and I was starting to become a teenager. There have been many incidents where I have gone completely off the wall at people. Sometimes I feel like I black out and don’t realize it. I hate being temperamental. …show more content…
I have so many goals in life that I want to accomplish. My number one goal is to become a nurse. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl. When I was little, my family went to a shopping mall that had expensive stores. Behind the stores, there were fancy apartments. My mom used to tell me that if I wanted to be able to live that kind of lifestyle, I needed a good paying job. That had a lot of influence on my ambitious goals. My ambition to become a nurse was brought on by being in and out of the hospital a lot when I was younger. The nurses were so nice to me and my family. I knew that becoming a nurse would help so many people. My mom helped me bring my ambitions out. I want to be successful in life because I am an expensive girl. I like the finer things in life. The only way for me to reach my ambitions is through getting a good education and having the right people support me. This is a good characteristic to have. I think without having ambition and goals you won’t work hard in life. When you have ambitions, it makes you want to do better in life and reach your goal. I would not change this characteristic. This characteristic has helped me to stay focused and grounded in life. It’s difficult to achieve some of my ambitions, but I’m sure I can do it by staying focused, working hard, and having faith in …show more content…
I have a very lively attitude. When people get to know me, they always comment on my high pitch voice. I’m usually always in a good mood. People always notice me because of my bubbly personality. Many teachers have commented on my flamboyant personality. One of my favorite teachers described me as being a firecracker. I don’t know how I developed this characteristic. I believe I have always had this flamboyant and bubbly personality. My mom and dad always say that I am good food for people’s soul. I can make them smile when they feel they have nothing to smile about. I like having a flamboyant and bubbly personality because it rubs off on people. Whenever one of my family members or friends is in a bad mood, I can usually cheer them up. I think this is a good characteristic. I think being a flamboyant person makes me have a better outlook on the world. Some people say being flamboyant is a bad thing, but I don’t think so. I’m not trying to crave attention. I usually just get attention because of my personality. When people first see me, they always comment on the look of my face. I would not change this characteristic for anything. Being flamboyant makes me feel good about myself and who I am. Sometimes people say I can have too much flamboyance. I don’t try to. It’s just a part of my

    A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…

    When I was younger, I would eat up books faster than I got them. I’d frequently been caught reading books in the zaniest of places. I remember wanting to try writing, although I could never fully convey the words in my mind onto paper. Every once in a blue moon when I was able to; only I could understand what I wrote. It had fascinated me, and honestly frustrated me, that people could write these whimsical and arcane books that I’d held onto like a mother to her child.…

    Writing has never been one of my strongest skills nor my favorite. Even though I enjoy reading another person’s writing the thought of someone else reading mine just sends chills down my spine. I wouldn’t consider myself a decent writer whatsoever. This defiantly gets in the way of how I feel about writing at times, because it makes me insecure of what others are going to think after they finish reading my essay. When I signed up for ENGL 1301 I was quick to assume the course was just going to consist of reading a lot of material and taking quizzes that covered the readings.…

    I think that no matter what I am writing, I am always writing for a specific reader. Be it work emails or school assignments, I always keep in mind who I am writing to, so that my writing style does not come off as unprofessional, not respectful, or “too proper”. For example, in the design industry, you can never know whether a person will expect complete professionalism from you, or will he want to talk like a human instead of a robot. When writing emails to clients, coworkers or the boss, I first try to understand my audience and “predict” what level of professionalism will they expect from me, and only then I will send my email to avoid making a fool of myself.…
