Personal Narrative: The Way I See Myself

Improved Essays
I know I am a workaholic and I am trying to get away from this I am learning to delegate and put my foot down, especially saying “No”. I know I have always felt satisfied when I kept doing more and endlessly tiring myself. I know I have been encouraged by my own self to be me, to be straight with people and with my own self; my own wants and feelings rather than crooked and covert. In this manner I am learning to understand what I want and possibly how to get it. I know and do understand still that the urge to always do right or whatever seems right indirectly stays with me even though I know the realization is there but its instinct or my behavior pattern which makes me the way I am. I am learning to be more open also expressing anger which

    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.

    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…

    Who am I? For some people the answer to this question is simple. They are able to answer this question without much thought. However, while some find solace and pride in answering this thought provoking question, it has always stirred in me a feeling of angst and confusion. These uncomfortable feelings emerged because of my interracial background and upbringing.…

    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.…

Clearly I would prefer working with others because it allows for different views and many other thoughts and ideas to be brought to the forefront of every issue. “At the top of Maslow”s hierarchy are the self-fulfillment or self-actualization needs.

    I have never looked up to, and never have I ever been around, anyone more in my life than my sister. From the moment I was born, we were attached at her hip whether she wanted me there or not - we played with toys, and games, together; I looked up to her; I respected her; she taught me next to everything that I knew about life back before I started school. Once I got a bit older, I reached the point of having the ability to genuinely discover who I was, and find my own identity. Around the same time, my sister was working through finding her own self, though she was a bit further along in the process than I was due to her being older. She was my guiding force in the construction of my identity.…

    It was the second grade, and I was just getting on to the school bus; I sat right in the middle row next to my friend who looked just like me -- we each sported fresh new glasses, a fashionable bowl cut, a polo shirt, and khakis. Aside from the banal clothing we had both decided to wear, we shared one glaring similarity: we were both Indian-American, each with caramel colored skin. A tall and quite imposing fourth grader had sat in front of us and before the bus had started, he swiveled back at us and immediately asked, ”Are you guys brothers?” This question had angered me a lot as a child and I have been compared to other Indian people in a similar fashion up until sixth grade. Unfortunately, this one instance of a child being ignorant had sparked something in me: a distaste for my ethnicity and the stereotypes surrounding it.…
