The journey of learning more about myself and understanding who I am as a person has been an upward climb. Most times it felt as though learning who I am was similar to attempting to ride a unicycle up the side of a steep mountain, with rocks rolling down along the way knocking me off of my path. However, as I have examined and reflected on who I am as a learner and how I learn, I have been able to gain a greater understanding of who I am as a person. This paper will examine the growth that I have experienced as a learner, how Baxter Magolda’s journey of self-authorship, the role of moral mentors, vocational theories, and spiritual development theories have impacted me as a learner, and how this knowledge will impact my remanding time in the…

As an eighth grader, I had no choice but to balance out my school work, making sure to do all the chores, and taking care of my three younger siblings at home by myself. My parents would be up in the hospital taking care of my now passed grandmother, who had cancer, while I, being the oldest child in the family, had to stay home alone to take care of my younger siblings. At first it was a difficult task for my 12-year old self to handle. While I was doing my homework or studying, I would have to stop what I was doing and help my siblings on their homework. Another scenario would be me cleaning up the house, even though there were homework waiting for me on the table.…
Imagine living in a fantasy world where everything is pitch perfect the way you wanted to be, but then, you wake up to the harsh reality to feel trapped and animated on the inside. This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago.

Everyone has their own values and morals that they believe in to determine what is right and wrong in life, so have I. Not everyone can agree to the same stuff about how one’s should live our life, but instead learn from our value and believe to make our own story in our life.…

Furthermore, this issue is exactly what “The Price We Pay for Sitting Too Much” brings about.…
Randy Pausch took the lessons he had learned throughout his existence on this Earth before he had become deceased and put together something special for everybody.

His book had many lessons that I am fortunate enough to be able to connect with at such a young age.…

Lost In Meaning As I sit down to write this personal narrative essay, I recalled upon all my childhood memories that I could remember. Out of these memories, I found some difficulties in picking out a moment in my life that left me with some “warm” feeling in the heart. With all of these moments going through my mind, playing every instance that came up like a slide show in a dark room, I tend to get lost in the meaning of them. “Why do I remember these times?…
