I Am

The reason I have come to be who I am today has to do with the experiences I have had and the decisions I have made . The first being my decision to leave my family, pack my bags and begin a life much different than what it would have been if I had stayed and not left for India. I decided to complete my pre collegiate studies in India when I was in third grade because I missed older sister; the other reason was because to me India had always been a vaction spot where I sipped on coconut water,…

Who Am I Now? Now I am pretty much a well- rounded college student. From this course, I’ve learned many things, and it's made my first college semester almost bearable. One of the things I have learned in the semester that has helped me, in the long run, is time management. Before this class, my time management skills were lacking. I used to slack off and get behind on classwork. I have learned to make a daily to-do list, weekly schedule, and monthly event calendar. With the daily to-do list, I…

I Am Because You Are “Perception is reality” that’s the philosophy we preach and practice in our paradoxical world; image is everything, put your best foot forward, and your first impression is primary. We were taught these ideas growing up and it has been instilled in our conscious. Thinking of the contrary is something that’s hard to do. We conform to the standards and ideas of our society ever-more, and believe that reality is not reality unless acknowledged. We judge and confront people by…

Welcome, the following passage is an overview of who I am as a student of Sociology. This is similar to a senior memoir in the sense that I would like to reflect upon my years as an undergraduate student. As I come closer to my expected graduation this becomes an important event. Why you ask, well that 's simple, it 's important because it is a time of reflection. To reflect on who I am or how I have been molded to become who I am presently. Without self-reflection it is difficult to grow and…

years old. “That is all I get?” said Justin question. He was confused because he was given a sliver of information and expected to be coming back with a whole heap. “No you get a little more than that,” his officer/ manager explained “ They live on 1287 Corbin Avenue. It is your job to scout the girl in the role of a new student who goes to her school,” he finished…

different situations in my life that led me to be the person I am today. This will be my testimony that will lead you through a glimpse through my life, which also involves my faith in God and how it was weak and then was strengthened. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always went to a private institute for my education. I was born and raised as a Christian and became a part of the Catholic church in 4th grade at St. Finbar School. I never took Christianity seriously when it came to being a…

I am from a mother and father, aunts and uncles, grandpas and grandmas, and great grandparents like a carousel going in endless circles. I am from dual sisters that almost always squabble, a record that is partially broken. I am from love and caring, amusement and friends. I am from soccer and basketball, goals and baskets. I am from successes and setbacks, but it is enjoyable nonetheless. I am from excitement and falls, assists and misses like a roller coaster that doesn't know the track. I…

I was born in the Dominican Republic to a nurseryman and my mother was a homemaker. My father had a high school education, while my mom was never allowed to attend school. However, I saw the brilliance in my mother and I know she would have done great things if given the opportunity. We lived in one of the poorest area of Santiago and I would see the struggles of the people around me. The fact that I never wanted to live that way again, shaped who I am today. After a long process, our family…

I am Kelly Kwong. A fourteen year old young lady that has graduated from eighth grade and moving on to high school. Proceeding on to high school means more responsibility, much more work and growing up.

I am frequently shy, but when I feel comfortable I'll talk a lot! I love getting outside and experiencing…
