The Story about Myself
Ever since I migrated to the United States in 2015, the sophomore of the year in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, I’ve been gradually learning and adapting to English. I grew up in a little town in Taiwan, living with my lovely parents and my sister. The first impression of America, muscle guys, football, liberty, Statute of Liberty, and else I looked on TV and Hollywood movies, as always, is a unique feature of the USA to picture them in my head. They arise in my head whenever I think of America: how do they make this melting pot so great? In comparison, the Eastern Culture background is a vastly different thing: varies from cultural inheritance to linguistic composition, hardly can we imagine that we are the same species living on the same earth. However, time doesn’t stop, history being pushed unstoppable forward, we now can click a button with a finger and face a person five thousand miles away on a phone. As a result, cultural interaction becomes more viable.
The horizon never ends. The sky is unlimited. The oceans keep roaming. “Breathe! 1…2, 1…2, keeping going! Deep… Deep.” It’s the last and the most contested time I sensed the gentle hail emanated deep from my hollow soul. That day, I ran down the Parkland Community and “hit the wall,” finalized a challenging thirteen mile runs, laid down on fresh grass and relished the mild blow of that summer wind. I terminated running for one year since then, until the last summertime, I was

    The sun that spilled through the trees overlaying the ground and setting the profound shades of the leaves ablaze. I hear the voices of flying creatures and creatures applauding me. I feel my mid-section getting tight as I breath in the harvest time air into my lungs; still unconscious on the off chance that I have enhanced in composing. I look upon nature and inquiry in case I'm developing like them as well? Despite everything i'm discovering some new information pretty much consistently.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    Throughout the majority of my life, I was self-conscious and constantly worried about how I was perceived by others. As a child, I had always felt slightly out of place among my peers. I was just a little too quirky to fit into any of the groups at my school and I was too shy to force my way into one. I could not exactly understand what made me so different from my classmates and I desired more than anything to gain the self-confidence to express myself.…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    With a big smile on my face, I would quickly fend off further questions, saying “Assumptions, of course they are only your assumptions”. But inside of me, I was frozen; afraid that one question will arise out. The question I don’t have the tools yet to answer, “Who am I?” After years of traveling and moving around, I’m torn between two cultures. Thus, there is an ongoing struggle between American and European…

    One week later after turning in my essay my teacher asked me if I was able to stay after class to talk about the essay.

    Who am I? This question has haunted me all my life, “who is Hayley, and what is her purpose in the world?” I feel the question of who you are as a person is the most difficult question anyone could ever be asked.

    Who Am I? The simple answer is a name, Travis; but who is that really? It took me awhile, and a lot of learning to truly feel like I found myself. Looking back, finding myself was the easy part; the hard part is trying not to lose myself again in this big, scary world. I learned trying to follow your own path can have major ups and downs, including stress and a desire to feel wanted by people who you feel are better than you.…
