Me Myself and I Essay

This semester, I set up a goal for myself: I would do one thirty-minute work-out video everyday for at least five days of each week. At the beginning, I felt excited and ready, but then I was extremely disappointed in myself for choosing something that, based off of past experience, I was not going to accomplish. Per result of my own negativity, I made little effort at first to work out. My initial priority was my education - getting A’s in my classes and manufacturing my academic résumé to…

In every step of my journey I have had to use time management in order to successfully complete my tasks. However, with every new step I find myself reassessing how effectively I use my time, and modify my distribution of time accordingly. For example, I recently started a new job in a different nursing setting and am finding myself juggling my time. While at my former job I felt I had basically mastered my time management skills, I am now trying hard to find a balance in effectively and…

Being a native speaker of an expressive language as Spanish it becomes common to find myself in situations when there are no words in English to express what I truly mean. This is the reason of why I found myself attracted towards the German language, it is descriptive and explicit, with specific words for the most specific situations. There is a word in German that describes the impulsive will to visit a place one had never been. The word is fernweh and it expresses the feeling of missing a…

be a challenging issue for me to face at this time. I know that confidence is a state of mind and positive thinking can change my thought pattern, it is not easy to learn about self-confidence it has to be practice. Ultimately I have to be the one to change my thinking. Practicing positive thinking and talking to others who have at one point in their life struggled with self-confidence can help me build self-confidence of my own. I am always second guessing myself if I am doing something the…

applying for a job. I have learned while reading the article written by Peter Drucker, “Managing Oneself” that we are often wrong when it comes to what we think our strengths are (1999). For example, I use to believe I had good time management skills, but once I evaluated everything I did and how I used my time I learned that my time management skills were the complete opposite of what I originally thought. I used to say there is just not enough time in the day for me to do everything I wanted…

important objects that I carry with me at all times. My journal, my car keys, a letter, and a photo. I have lived the same routine for two years now, probably more. School, work, and then home; nothing more. I work 45-50 hours a week and, honestly, it's hard. It is very stressful, but I have gotten used to it throughout the years. When my father made me become a waitress at his renewed restaurant all of a sudden, I became depressed and I would have a mental breakdown every week. I didn't have…

I do not think there’s no child on earth who likes being away from their parents. We kids love being around our caregivers to protect us, feed us, and more importantly love us. As for me, I did a challenge that changed me physically and mentally. I was alone in the woods for about three to four weeks. Never in my life have I envisioned myself being surrounded by the woods, but this step I took was an adjustment in my life that changed almost every aspect of it. Throughout my life, I have lacked…

I sat at the table, surrounded by people, and yet still alone. I looked up from my lunch, and met the sneer of the boy across from me with a smile. No, I was not eating dog vomit, but thank you for asking. I wasn’t sure how the food had any sort of resemblance to my face, but everyone else seems to agree. Turning away, I continued to eat, alone. “It was nice of them to give me the whole bench to myself,” I thought. I finished my lunch, and pondered the “miracle” of my defying the inverse…

of one 's goals. I have never been one to set goals in my life because I was always afraid of failure. 37 years ago I drop out of school in the 9Th grade there never was anyone who told me I could make in school so I saw no need to stay in school. There have been times that I dream of going back to school. But I’m a runner. I have always run from thing that I was scared of. I went back 3 times in last 30 years to get my GED but every time I would take pretest and never go back I was too scared…

changes. For me, this experience came in college. As cheesy as it sounds, my identity has significantly changed since I arrived at college. I have grown to be an independent woman, have found my voice and have become confident. My change technically started towards the end of high school, when I knew…
