Me Myself and I Essay

Until last year, I never thought of myself as being resilient. Resilience is an attribute that I have but never really thought about until it was difficult for me to bounce back. I had to learn to be resilient at a really young age. My mother is addicted to drugs and alcohol. I was lucky enough to grow up with my dad with limited visits with my mother. I still had to consistently deal with the consequences of her actions. Learning to bounce back was easy for me, until I had to be more…

have a successful future. Likewise, I had to alienate myself from my family to be where I am today. It was necessary for me to alienate myself from my family because I changed in my pursuit towards a high leveled education. It…

The day I enter middle school, everything changed. Transition between elementary school and middle school was a big leap for me. In elementary school, I knew everyone and everyone knew me. But the moment I enter middle school, I saw people classifying themselves into a group. Happy Valley Middle School had more kids than the elementary school. The atmosphere overwhelmed me. I could hear shoes squeaking as people try to meet up with their friends or to walk to their classroom. Left and right, I…

we deserve.” I have always thought of myself as stubborn and childish. I’m not able to trust people as much when they mess up, I don’t take commands very well or I don’t like to do things other people tell me because I think I can do it on my own. I also act very childish, like stupid little kiddy things amuse me and in a lot of situations, I don’t act mature or take things seriously. Many people have always and will always see me as ‘giggly, smiley, funny Nevaeh’. People always tell me to stop…

I find it amusing that throughout my childhood, I was told to be humble. I was told that praising myself was vanity. That compliments are given, not taken. If I won a medal, rather than being pleased by a friend praising my skills, I was to make sure that they didn’t feel jealous or insecure by my success. I would say “Thank you! You were amazing too!” and continue to praise them. Liking myself was seen as arrogance. Playing to win was seen as being competitive. Compliments were no longer…

mock interview went extremely well in my opinion. I felt confident with my delivery and I was sure about my career choice. Coming into the situation, I felt nervous but after watching my fellow classmates ahead me, I understood how I needed to present myself. Coming off as confident in an interview was a key factor that I observed. I didn’t know how important posture and how well you project your voice was until I read the feedback after my interview. I always wondered how some people get jobs…

encouraged me to create goals for myself for the up and coming future. These goals I will become to value and strived for on a daily basis if possible. Accomplishing these goals will show the effort that I put in. These are my goals: By the end of my freshman year in college I hope to achieve the skill of time management. I plan on doing this by making a schedule for certain things in my day for when i 'm not in class, and if I am to run over on time I will note that as something I have to…

challenging course for me personally as I’m such a logical person that has always been more of a research analysis typewriter that any level of creative writing is something that is so baffling to me that I put myself into a worrying stint when I signed up for this course. However, now at the end of the semester, I’m utterly glad that I took this course because while this level of writing is very different from my normal range, it helped me to see such a unique form of writing one that I found…

emotions productively.” In the same fashion, for me to consider myself to be emotionally literate is being able to cope with feelings and emotions in ways that can eventually help me help yourself and those around me. And oddly enough, I was only able to reach my current point in my literacy because of a whole separate person and a whole separate literacy. When I started my 8th grade year, I noticed a shift in my emotional stability. Finding myself no longer capable of appropriately translating…

Currently, I am not too happy with what is going on with my life right now. I am not too happy because I feel somewhat isolated and alone sometimes. I live on campus and I am in a coed fraternity, but I feel that I am not living a “college student’s life” so to speak. I don’t like to “party” and I can be pretty quiet at times, and I feel like that makes me somewhat of an “outcast” from the world. I don’t want to change myself of course, but I sometimes wish people could accept me more for who I…
