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. I want to become a well rounded individual, someone who everyone likes and looks up too. I want to be someone my family can be proud of.…

“Describing myself” At first, this task seemed really easy. Who knows me better than me, myself? “Piece of cake”, I thought. Obviously, I was wrong.…
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.…
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 can finally start to see the finish line as the end of high school begins to approach. Running that track all four years taught me more than just how to pass a baton. Teamwork and support were key factors in shaping my personality. Time flies, almost as if yesterday I were a freshman; however, I now hold many more I redeeming qualities. I owe majority of my positive transformation to my track team.…
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.…

However, I saw the brilliance in my mother and I know she would have done great things if given the opportunity. We lived in one of the poorest area of Santiago and I would see the struggles of the people around me.…
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.…
The thunder of gunfire in the deafening dark woke me from my sleep. I had sat up in my vagabond rags and silently woke my raw-boned brother. We sat up and listened to the pandemonium outside the windowless building. The light from the fire we layed around gave off scant warmth. I held Williams shaking hand and we rolled and went to sleep.…
When I was an adolescent….. My world was turned upside down when my parent’s marriage started to fall apart. They turned to alcohol and became very withdrawn. At the age of 14, my life went from sports, school and friends, to all about shielding my younger sisters from the ugliness of our lives, salvaging my family’s reputation and making sure us kids had what we needed. What was a challenge?…
The weather was pleasant and warm, not excessively hot to the point where it would be uncomfortable sleeping. The birds tweeting almost as if they were singing outside and the children’s laughter made the day perfect. It all sounded so perfect and oh so soothing. Just as I was home laying on the ground about to nap, I heard a call from the others. There was an enormous commotion commencing right outdoors and my slumber was disrupted by everyone’s running and uproar outside.…
My whole life I’ve been a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
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.…
