What I Learned And Self-Analysis

Superior Essays
When I was younger I was very nervous and excited for the week that was approaching. This was the first time I would take care of myself for one entire week. My mom was leaving town for an ENTIRE WEEK and I had to look after the house, cook, clean and everything else that mom would do while she was here. Before she left she had triple checked everything to make sure that the house wouldn’t burn down while she was gone. Of course it wouldn 't be that difficult since my sister was still home and she knew how to cook a lot more than I did. But as cleaning and doing laundry I knew I would have to take care of this myself because my sister had never even touched the washer before. Right before my mom left she said “ Remember in the future you will …show more content…
So about a day later me and my sister had traded jobs, I caught on pretty well and learned how to cook some simple food right away while it took her a while to learn how to wash clothes the right away. Through this experience I learned how to take care of myself and how to learn important skills from others. As I grew older and even now I keep learning about the different things you have to do take care of yourself and to lead a happy and healthy life. To be honest I’m scared about having to find my own house, paying bills, and making enough money but this and many other experiences have showed me that only I can take care of myself and not everyone will be there to help me. When I move out early on I will be living with others so I will have a little help but we all be alone for the first time in our life. Through my life (even though I am still long) I have noticed that people always lead others around. Through this people don 't know how to take charge themselves and when the time comes for them to live their own life they …show more content…
This experience had helped me realise that you are the only person that can protect yourself, and there experiences on this world whether they are bad or good that shape your life for better or for worse. This is the only life we have and so we have to take every chance we can to gain experience and prepare for our lives in the future. Everyone has experiences that can be seen as a turning point in their life that shapes their life and the outlook they have on the world, Anyone can agree or disagree with this belief but everyone knows that in some point in the future everyone has to take care of themselves and maybe even a

    1. What about your experience at Quinnipiac thus far prompted you to apply to be an Orientation Leader and why? What makes Quinnipiac different from the rest, is the community it sets forth for its faculty and students. Together we are one and can create a difference in each other’s lives.

    I have loved playing soccer for many years, I met many people, made many friends, but what would stick with me the most would be the competitions I got to participate in with my teammates. During the Euclid Memorial Tournament Finals our team, Euclid Elite, lost in the semi finals. Many members of our team tried very hard and worked together to try to win, but there were a few who had given up before the game was even over causing us to play even worse, contributing to us losing. The game ended and we had a talk after the game, many people left angry and disappointed that we could not recreate our past success and win the Euclid Memorial Tournament. I learned many things from this experience, some things that would help me improve myself,…

    Out of all 5 of my talents, Learner describes me the best. As cliché as it may sound, I really have a passion for learning. But my passion for learning extends far past just the usual sitting in class taking notes, or the usual memorization of subjects, instead it really reaches out to deeper depths where I really seek to master everything that is put into my head. I am not okay with only touching base on subjects or barely treading the surface of topics, rather I have to really dive into the text and pay close attention to all the details in order for me to grasp what is going on.…

    After arriving to Wood Middle School as I would on any other day, I walked into the bustling commons area and noticed a herd of students scattered into their separate cliques. However, what immediately caught my eye was the number of teachers and administrators who clearly looked flustered and distressed. I soon left the commons area and headed towards the library to figure what exactly was going on. Sure enough, there was a cluster of teachers gazing at the library’s television in utter disbelief over what would soon become known as “The Stock Market Crash of 2008”. Even though I was only in the 6th grade, I still had enough competence to realize that this was not an ordinary day in the stock market.…

    Self reflection is the mental process that acquires knowledge and understanding through thoughts and experience which helps encourage self awareness. This essay focuses on assessing my objectives and how I have developed my skills from the beginning of this semester until now. At the start of semester A, I wasn’t confident in preparing for the skills sessions and workshops. I wasn 't always able to find the correct answers to the workshop questions set which made it relatively difficult for me to participate in lectures despite finding myself at the library every other day. I began by listening to knowledge based lectures online and making notes alongside the recommended reading given by my lecturers or the module guide.…
