the type of personality you most likely fit in, I was put into the INFP. INFP means that I am an introvert, who takes on my intuition, while feeling and perceiving. The results I received, were not wrong. I actually agree with the results. I am known as to be sensitive and caring about others while standing loyal. Guided by my inner values while focusing on what helps myself and others’ inner development and growth with strong personal belief. I enjoy reading, discussing, and reflecting on the…
Throughout my life I have experienced many unusual experiences and incidents, but there is one in particular that has impacted me so much that I will never forget. Wind ensemble is the top wind/percussion group in Derby High School and is filled up every year with extremely talented high schoolers (most of which are upper classmen). During my freshman year the first chair player in my section (a senior at the time) insisted that I audition to be in the exclusive group. At the time I thought it…
liberty. I, myself, felt bound and trapped, not by iron doors, but by words. Although being open and outgoing can help communication growth, rudeness and unnecessary judgement can hinder one’s ability to socialize and express themselves. On August 21, 2010, as my mother dropped me off at Georgetown Middle School, thoughts of panic plundered through my head, hoping my teachers encourage me throughout my first day. My heart was pounding from the adrenaline, and my stomach was in knots knowing that…
exam for modern 1 this semester allowed me to look at myself in a different light. Throughout the semester I have been working on memorizing choreography for myself rather than relying my peers to memorize the choreography for me. This combination allowed for me to strengthen this specific semester goal, while also allowing me to perform this piece as a solo. This paper will focus on what I saw in myself during the video exam. It will also reflect on how I was feeling while performing this piece…
The Buddha Born into a world of monotheism, finding a peace with myself was beyond difficult. The rules one must adhere to were enough to confine one in a state of weakness and mental sickness. I admit Christianity was never going to work out for me although, as an eight year old, I was immature and unable to express my own opinions on the subject of religion and beliefs. However, as I grew older I felt the need to prove myself worthy of such opinions and so my academic determination put my…
and drug abuse generation after generation. I never had the chance to learn what love meant or how it was supposed to feel. My emotions were constantly repressed by the endless negativity that surrounded me. I had no other choice but to raise myself by learning from those around me. And so, if I ever loved anyone imperfectly, it was myself. My parents rarely, if ever, go involved in my personal life. I was born gifted,…
I grew up with the famous bible verse from Micah 7:19, “He will turn again, and have compassion upon us: he will subdue our iniquities, and cast all their sins into the bottom of the sea.” However, this quote was defined as “let go and let God.” This idea made me believed that once I forgave, I moved on with my life. Through the book Helping Clients Forgive: An Empirical Guide for Resolving Anger and Restoring Hope by Robert D. Enright and Richard P. Fitzgibbons I was able to understand the…
Assessment After I took this assessment, I was informed that I was at a higher risk for heart disease and diabetes. I knew while I was taking the test that I would have to eat better foods, and exercise more than I was exercising. I had bad eating habits and was not active enough which is why this website told me I was at a higher risk for heart disease especially. Heart disease and diabetes run in my family, and I do not want those things to happen to me. That is another reason why I was…

It was the last couple of months left and I couldn’t wait till I finished high school. Every morning…
I am Gabrielle Mendoza, a first generation latino student. I come from a Latino background and was brought up in a very broken untraditional household. My grandmother alone raised me as my parents moved to a different home and raised my younger sister, leaving me with my grandmother. My grandmother was always at work making sure she kept food on the table for me. When she started working full time I was still very young, I had to learn to raise myself and do everything for myself. I took this…
