Essay About Myself

Every person goes through many challenges or has been through one. Many of those challenges might’ve caused good impacts as to others negative impacts and easily given up. Personally, I believe that we all have to face obstacles to learn and grow to be able to move on. In my experience, a challenge that I have faced academically would have to be Benchmark Portfolios.

Ever since the day I was born I have had someone I have always had to compare myself too. I have always thought to myself, “Is she prettier?” “She’s always been smarter.” “I know everyone likes her so much more.” Although, there is always competition between my look alike and I; I would not trade it for anything. Why? Because that look alike is my twin sister and my absolute best friend. My sister’s name is Kaitlyn. We are blonde hair, blue eyed, same height and weight twin girls. We are also…

I believe I am also fairly strong in writing essays that argue a position. In reading, I am good at remembering details which is helpful in discussing it…

Marissa, the writer is one that hardly gets told. In fact, it is a story that is usually disregarded and neglected all together. The primary reason for disregarding the story of Marissa the writer is because, at a foundational level, I do not consider myself to be a writer. I do not view my academic work as ‘writing’. Therefore, I have not intentionally entertained thoughts of who I am or could be or have been, as a writer. Essentially, this because I do not view my writing outside the context…

I have never really thought of myself as a leader, because I was usually quiet and self centered. Sophomore year was the year I truly became assertive and controlling that made me become a “leader”. Besides being challenged in academics and music, my role in sports became more defined that year. Track season during spring started out fine as everything was relaxing and looking good. With a small core of discus and shotput throwers, around three out of six of us were looking to go big. We learned…

Throughout the PCTS process, not only have I seen an impact on T, but also an impacted both myself and T’s parents. When I began this process, I seen T as an extremely sweet child, with problems controlling himself during times of distress, that’s no longer what I see when I look at T. I see T as an extremely brilliant child, a child who is only two, but is able to begin using his words in order to express the way he is feeling. T is a child who at times needs support, but is now able to ask for…

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 hate writing about myself. It’s typical, but it’s true. I always try to bend the rules to write about anything else. So when I saw this prompt, I had no idea what to write about. At first it was just that I didn’t want to write about things from my past, especially unpleasant things. However, I soon realised that the problem with this paper was that I wasn’t over most of my struggles—or rather, I wasn’t in a position to write about them well. I sat down and thought about what I could possibly…
