Personal Narrative: How I Reflected My Personality

Decent Essays
From the time that I was three years old to presently many things have affected my personality, such as failures, hardships, and my social interactions. However, the most outstanding of these obstacles would be my financial standpoint. For instance, my monetary issues have always dictated how people look at me, how i see myself, and the decisions I have made.

In my past I have always noticed that people commonly judge me upon how I am dressed or the fact that I don’t have money; Because of these poor judgements I have always been able to pick and choose my friends. I learned a valuable lesson from my treatment. I learned that it was wrong to judge people based on their different walks of life, and because of this I have become a better person.

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

    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…

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

During my service learning, I put to use most of the information that we learned in class so that I was able to understand the people around me.

    “What makes you different from everyone else?” I’ve heard this question repeatedly throughout my life, whether it was from a teacher, or a job interviewer, or even a friend of mine. It’s the type of question people ask in order to get an idea of who you are, and find out what exactly there is about you that makes you special. When I was younger, I would hear this question asked either on television, or in a conversation between older people, and all I can remember thinking was “what’s the point of that question?” I was confused because as a child I didn’t understand the concept of being different; I felt that since we’re all human, we’re all the same.…

    Many of the aspects of the environment I lived in have significantly contributed to my character and my mindset on the world around me. From my family’s relationship, to the conditions of the city surrounding me during the first 18 years of my life, these small features greatly influenced how I have developed as an individual and to my perspective of the world and the way that I comprehend it today.

One characteristic of my environment that has greatly influenced my personality is my family’s financial situation compared to those around me.…
