Personal Narrative: What Am I Good At Heart

Improved Essays
What am I good at is a question to ponder, however, the first think that comes to my mind is a talent that I work towards improving, golf. Every day I work towards improvement and when I think about it I also see it as my passion. In this case I think that both the mind and the heart overlap. While I am good at it because it challenges me it also forces me into uncomfortable positions. Many would think that they wouldn’t want to do something that isn’t easy and a breeze but that is where the passion comes for the game, because it isn’t something that I have a lot of experience in other sports. My love lies in helping kids though. It all started with just smiling at them and playing goofy games with my friend’s siblings. Then as I started

    Being able to help other people and show compassion to other people, especially when some of them are in their most vulnerable state, was something thing that I truly love and cherish. For example, being able to share stories with other women, being able to help them during their pregnancy, and being able to provide health education and parenting support after their delivery. My fondness to kids also transcends in my craft as I was able to supervise some of the newborn from time to time. Later on, because to the huge support system for one another, one by one, some of my siblings were also able to create a big milestone for themselves and their own family. As time passed by, everything was going right to the point where I think it was all a dream until my beloved father became very ill.…

    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 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.…

    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.…
