What Makes Me Unique Research Paper

Decent Essays
What makes me unique is my ability to see the good in every situation. Quick story: When I was 9, I actually stayed at a shelter for abused women and children, along with my mother and sister. We stayed at the shelter for an entire summer. As a 9-year-old, coming from a difficult home environment back in Juarez, Mexico, being at the shelter was great! Not only did I feel safe living there, but the teachers and staff members of the shelter made it an incredibly fun stay for me, allowing both my family and I to build relationships and move forward in life. I do utterly believe that even difficult situations in life have their purpose and that being optimistic paints life in a better way.

    Ever since I was a kid, I have always liked hockey. It didn't matter what type of hockey, ice hockey, inline hockey, street hockey, I would go out and try to play.
