Self Reflection Essay About Me

Improved Essays
Self-Reflecting is never an easy task, no matter who you are. Usually, individuals always focus on the bad that they have done, rather than the good. There is usually always more good than bad but human nature makes us feel like we have to point out the bad instead of the good, which is sad. Throughout my year in Mr. McGee 's class, I have completed what seems to be a never ending list of work, and I always seemed to be up into the wee hours of the night, or morning, finishing up annotations, or writing my essay to make sure I it finished on time. Self-Evaluation is something that is a hard task for many people, but when it is done, there are times that it makes you feel better about yourself. This year, I have done an abundance of good things, …show more content…
The first thing I could have improved in this year was my awesome procrastination skills. I never seem to want to do anything or get anything done until the night before it is due when I am supposed to be sleeping. The bad thing about that is I never get any sleep, but the bright side to procrastination is that I don 't have to do any homework until the night before and can do whatever I want until the night before. But, that still is not smart due to the fact that I am very angry the next day. Another thing I could have improved on during this school year was my dedication to the school year and my homework. For one, I never wanted to come to school, and therefore when i was here, I never focused and never wanted to do anything at all. Dedication is hard your senior year when all you can think about is the number of days you have left; the countdown is the best part of senior year. I could have also improved in my desire to do any work because none of it got done, and I have actually started to give up, and lose every sense of care in the world that I even had. There are so many other things that I could have improved in, but I just needed to set my mind to something and get it done, and I would have been

    Writing has changed my perspective on various aspects of my life. Some of the essays that I have written in the past have opened doors to new ideas. These essays have helped me make connections I feel I never would have made without writing. I believe this is because I enter my deepest level of concentration when I write. This heightened level of concentration I reach when writing has allowed me to reflect on important areas in my life such as self-awareness and motivation.…

    I first became interested in counseling when I was helping a friend with serious drug related problems and family problems seek help and counsel from advisors. Being just sixteen, I didn’t know how to help him efficiently and felt both powerless and helpless at trying to find adequate resources and services to help him deal with his problems. While I did eventually find counseling services and potential help for him, the effects of his psychological problems were so brutal that he committed suicide. This profound experience of losing a close friend to suicide forced me to develop a strong interest into understanding the role, guidance and motivations that leads people to such extremes. At this point, I had already cultivated the desire to…

    One thing that I always hear about myself is how much of a balanced person I am. At first I thought this had to do with my physical ability to balance and that wasn't it. The balance that I identify with is the ability to balance time and effort between my academics, my athletics, and social life. I find myself doing this better and better every year, as I am faced with more strenuous work loads and more responsibilities in my athletics. The teachers and coaching staff at renbrook have helped me become a lot more independent when it comes to managing my own time.…

    Self reflection is the mental process that acquires knowledge and understanding through thoughts and experience which helps encourage self awareness. This essay focuses on assessing my objectives and how I have developed my skills from the beginning of this semester until now. At the start of semester A, I wasn’t confident in preparing for the skills sessions and workshops. I wasn 't always able to find the correct answers to the workshop questions set which made it relatively difficult for me to participate in lectures despite finding myself at the library every other day. I began by listening to knowledge based lectures online and making notes alongside the recommended reading given by my lecturers or the module guide.…

    Who am I? A question that would made you think well and might puzzle you out. Describing yourself is harder than describing someone because there are some areas in you that you are not certain of such as characteristics, personalities, and attitude. Also, there are things that other people would notice while we can’t because those things are the things we do that we are not conscious about. Talking about myself, I am Noreen Joyce F. Panganiban, a 16 year-old girl turning 17 this March 2016, from Carmona, Cavite.…

    When people ask me to describe myself, I always draw a blank, I never know what to say, I’m caught off guard because I don’t really love talking about myself too often because I am someone who likes to listen rather than to talk. I always have to think about what I should say to make a good impression on whomever is asking me the question. There is a lot about me that you can see by just looking at me; I have short brunette hair, I’m short, hazel eyes, I’m quiet, and more. However, there are certain personality traits about me that every single person I know on a personal basis can tell you; I am candid, I am shy, and I am very loving. I am candid and by candid, I mean I am always very truthful and frank.…
