online and offline communities I have been a part of distinctively influenced who I am today. At a certain time, each community played an important role in my life; however, I noticed that some communities were more personal, while others focused more on achieving a specific goal. When my goal changed, the community itself became entirely less important. Although it was difficult to realize this at first, I learned to let go and adapt to the circumstances I found myself in. I continue to keep other communities…
and experiences that have made me who I am today. Although some have been good things I’ve gone through, there have also been rough situations I’ve had to deal with. With each one of these though, I have been able to become the person I am now. There are many things that have shaped me throughout my life; two of the most important have been the day my sister was born and the day we got our first pet. It had been an amazing day. My birthday was on a Saturday and I had been looking forward to the party…
abuse made me who I am today Substance abuse changed my life. I was addicted to drugs for such a long period of time, but alas I finally hit rock bottom. I lost everything that was important to me. This included my material possessions, my home, I even lost my friends and family, but worst of all I lost my self-respect. This situation got so out of control that I even ended up in jail and had to undergo a legal battle. Nothing hurt more than hitting “the rocks at the bottom”, but I am glad it did…
fourth chapter of my life that made me who I am today is when I entered college to today. People say college is a time of self-discovery and it has been no different for me. Entering college, I was nervous about making friends, as I did not want to be one of the people who makes no friends. During orientation, I met two people who I got decently along with, and I stuck around them. I was a little disappointed because I didn’t really expand outside of them and I thought they were going to be my college…
If I had to describe myself in one sentence I would say I am a straight, white, female with a modest upbringing, who was raised in the country by a conservative widow. The town I grew up in was a small, rural town in central Arizona. My high school graduating class had only 23 students and when I was young, the roads around town were still dirt. I remember how exciting it was when the roads were paved. My dad died when I was two and a half years old and my Mom never remarried. My brother and sister…
Many things have shaped me into who I am today. Different events and people were sent into my life to make me the person God wanted me to be. They weren’t always happy and at the time I might not have understood why it was happening, but God knows what is best for us and we have to trust in Him to take care of us. So let’s start at the beginning. My grandma was born into a non-Christian home, but lucky for me she found God at an early age. Her parents were good people, but never went to church.…
progress There are many things I could say that make me who I am today. I could start at being a female in a sexist world and go on about being four foot eleven in height. Those are definitely two factors that contribute to who I am. I am reminded daily of three main things that make me who I am today. With having to become so independent so fast, and trying to figure out how a guy should treat me, as well as realizing all the sacrifices my mother made for me, I realized that nothing comes easy…
Who I am? That is a question which is hard to answer. For me, it is very difficult to talk about myself. The only way how to describe who I am today is starting with a background which shaped me. I was born in Latvia, where I have lived till I was 23 years old-my family still lives there. I used to live in an old farmhouse, with my parents and my siblings. I believe through life many things change, we gain our own experiences and role changes. Mine most important at this moment roles are being my…
I believe that my top five strengths have definitely played a major role in shaping my personal theology and who I am today. My first strength is competition, which of course is a major part of me. My competitive nature is probably what has driven me to excel in all things I do, particularly in sports and education. Sometimes this characteristic of mine can be quite annoying though, because I tend to take things to seriously even when it should be a lighthearted event. My second strength is discipline…
When thinking about what makes me who I am today, I thought of a few major milestones and topics from class that all play a huge part in the person that I have become. I like to think of myself as someone who loves people and just strives to be the best psychologist that I have always dreamed of becoming. I am now someone who is very independent, compassionate, and empathetic with the outside world along with dealing with some internal turmoils, and because of that I am constantly working hard on the…
