Personal Narrative: What I Learned About Myself

Decent Essays
What I learned about myself is that I have potential for being a global manager. Looking over the questions, I tend to lack in my experiences more than my actual skills. What I’ve learned is that I can adapt quick and connect with people easily, but I don’t have many experiences in it. To widen my range of experiences I would most likely have to travel more and emerge myself directly into new cultures. I would also have to study different languages a bit more for that is an area I very much lack in.

    Kayleigh Underwood All throughout my life, I have faced many challenges. Some were more difficult than others, but I believe all of them have shaped me into who I am today. If I could take one lesson I learned in high school and never forget it, it would be that my challenges and the outcomes to these challenges do not define me. What defines me is how I respond to these challenges.…

    Vivian Mosota CIS Sociology Being Me Influenced Myself Even though my service learning was required, I was able to gain valuable information from the eighteen hours that I volunteered. Having been able to volunteer at Sky Oaks Elementary was not only a great experience but also gave me a greater understanding of Sociology (the concepts that we learned in class). 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. Having said that, I think that my social location affected my service learning experience at Sky Oaks.…

    Three Things I Learned In a world full of sensationalized news stories, propaganda, and a need and greed for ratings, isn’t better to skip watching the news? In the document, “What is a Journalist”, it seems that a journalist should have a heart and integrity.

    Over the course of this semester, I have learned an abundance of things about myself as a writer. The first, and utmost important concept that I learned was that is acceptable to make mistakes. I felt with this discovery, I liberated myself as a writer, making the entire process seem less intimidating. The second most important idea that I learned was that nothing is ever perfect. There is always room for improvement somewhere.…

    Heather, Thanks for support and reassurance on the aspect of what pattern I choose to organize my paper. I am one to always second guess my decisions, so thanks. I think if there are to many “patter of organization” being use it pulls from the “heart” of what is being written. I think I did this a lot in the past before this class because I just didn’t have really any idea of how to format or organize my thoughts to go on paper. This class was awesome for me, I have learned so much.…

    Throughout this semester I have learned and relearned many things. For an example, I have learned about commas, but this is the first time I completely understood and know how to use them. Another example, is I have always known that plagiarism is illegal, but in high school they only wanted the source next to the information I use. In English this semester, I have learned the correct way of citing my information. I have used these knew skills in another class of mine and as well in this class.…

    I grew up in the small town of Americus, Georgia. It was instilled in me early in life that where you are should not determine where you end up. For many youth today, making it to the age of 18 is a major accomplishment. Social complacency and dysfunctional families, in many cases, significantly reduces the chances of our youth escaping their social and economic environments.…

    What makes myself who I am, the person recognized today, as Grayson K. Tong, is a person prone to creating mistakes similar to everyone else. Moreover, a person not afraid to show some weakness, in order to continue making progress, yet at the same time, prove other people who are opposing my methods wrong. In other words, our terrible accidents help inspire, a new motivation, a determination, a persistent leadership, in continuing forward motion against any obstacle that stands in the path. Against all odds, this leader can change the tides against the opponents thrown against their team.…

    What defines me? How do others see me? In order to be a competent leader, one needs to understand their own selves first, and what values are important to them. For me, my relationships with my family and friends are one way I identify myself.

    “In three words I can summarize everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” I remember these words repeating in my head as my mom told me the devastating news about my uncle. When you are living your life, you began to feel as if nothing can come between you and your happiness. You forget that this journey does come to an end like a roller coaster does after its crazy, adrenaline-filled ride and it can happen to anyone you know. Events in life can hit you at any given moment, and sometimes you have to take the memory by the hand and carry it with you because it may be the reason you are who you have become today.…

    oughout the course of this class, I often found myself questioning why we must shape our lives and formulate our thoughts according to the conceptions of others. I believe as a society, we follow in the footsteps of others because stepping back and questioning who we are, how we have changed, and what notions of human flourishing guide our decisions are terrifying thoughts. However, I will now use this space to reflect upon my own understanding of human flourishing and of my moral agent in order to overcome this fear. To do so, I will tear myself down and analyze the ways in which I rebuild myself in order to grasp a better understand of who I am. I will examine every contour of my self-identity, every building block, screw, and nail that…

    I do not feel like a drastically different version of myself; pulled apart and pieced together again with new parts and leftover fragments of my old self like Frankenstein’s monster. Upon interviewing my mother about my personal growth since my eighth grade year, it would seem that I am essentially the same “firecracker” that I was almost five years ago, just less rough around the edges. Inner reflection has also made me realize that I have in fact changed, be it in my physicality, my personal views and religion, or morals in general. I have grown up so much physically-much like all do- since eighth grade. My old favorite shoes no longer fit, sadly XS is no longer my trademark size and I no longer have to strain myself to reach my top shelf that used to hold precious copies of the Twilight saga.…
