The Story Of My Life
With love and family comes heart break and sorrow. Certain individuals will let agony define them, and others will persevere and find the qualities
of life that remain bright. In the past sixteen years of my life, I have experienced both dejection and elation; however, in my mind, those moments of
defeat have left the most prominent scar behind. Although the initial experience may have been negative, knowledge and appreciation for life was
gained because of it. In order for this story to make sense, I have to start from the beginning. Growing up, my older sister, Alisha, and I were raised by
our mom and step–dad. We had a loving home and never seemed to need anything more. But as my sister and I grew, we started to get more and
more curious in regard to our biological father. We knew that he was in prison, but never understood what for. Our mom was not comfortable
speaking to us about him, so every time we asked she replied with," I will tell you when you're older." Trust me, the irritation was real. Once a
month we would receive phone calls from our dad at the prison, up until the year 2013. After 7 years and 2 visitations, he finally got released from
jail in the month of November. Alisha and I were ecstatic and couldn't wait to see him; however, my opinion of him soon changed. We got out to
where he lived with his parents in Royal Oak, Michigan, and I realized that his personality was severely flawed. I still remember transparently the
moment I came to the

Essay on My Family History
My Family History
Family history is very important to an individual. By knowing where you come from, you can have a better perspective of your life. Having a clear
understanding of your family background allows you to better appreciate the things that you would normally take for granted. The house, the car, and
the average clothing may look better when one sees the sacrifices their family has made. They will see that their family has worked very hard just so
their family can experience the better things in life. A persons roots and origin is one of the most important things to explore. It alone can bring you
closer to self–discovery.

One of these is that on Thanksgiving everybody comes together to my parents' house in New Jersey for a huge feast. On Christmas only my mother and
the children (me and my brother) travel to Illinois to spend a week with my grandparents. On New Years Eve we all get together at my parents'
house in New Jersey and toast to the New Year with champagne and apple cider. During Labor Day weekend all of my family travels to South
Jersey to my grandfathers' condo. We usually spend all of our time on the beach and barbequing, except on Sunday when we go to church. After
all, my grandfather is a minister. One of our biggest family traditions is going back to Puerto Rico. Every year my mother and I travel back to
Puerto Rico for a portion of our summer vacation. Now that I am older I travel there more often and stay there much longer. My father never joins
because he doesn't like my mothers side of the father too much and he thinks that we when we speak Spanish we are all plotting against him. Of
course that's not true though. My bother doesn't speak Spanish so he doesn't like to go either. I guess that tradition is one that belongs solely to my
mother and I.
The role of the people in family basically stayed the same for most of the generations with a little change in the later generations. Earlier the males

A Day in My Life
My alarm clock starts beeping at 7:15 exactly and I groan and try to imagine that it isn't there. When the noise doesn't stop I roll over and hurl the
unlucky object across the room. It invariably hits a precariously balanced pile of books or CD's and they invariably come crashing down, adding to
the scene of devastation that is my bedroom floor. I then slowly drift off to sleep again; until, twenty minuets later, I am rudely awakened by my

After we have walked the length of the school twice we sit down to 15 minutes of tutor time.
While I franticly finish the History homework due in five minutes time everyone else enjoys some time taunting Michael or Ashley about one thing or

As Ben leaves the tutor room I shout after him "Ben! What we got now?"
The reply comes: "Science. Mr Smith."
"OK" I shout as I hurry after him.
First lesson, despite being science, goes past in a dream.
I have decided that however much I may look awake at nine o'clock in the morning I actually do not wake up until ten. Therefore, during first period
(science or not) I am still fast asleep. This means that, except under special circumstances (i.e. a test), the amount of work completed in this lesson is
fairly small.
Second period, I am usually more awake (unless, of course, it is R.E, in which case I remain a deep sleep throughout, even if it's last lesson.).

I lost my little brother in 1982 at age 22 in an accident at my parent's home. Robbie was taking down a C.B. antenna and it struck a high power line
that ran into the local General Motors plant. Robbie was killed instantly. As Erickson's stated in his psychosocial development theory, "which
refers to the development within the social environment in which a person lives, primarily focusing on relationships with other people"
(Simanowitz & Pearce. 2003). This had brought back memories of how my relationship was when we were little. I was always kind of upset with
Robbie because he was one of those kids that had that natural athletic ability. Robbie could run faster and throw better, do everything better when
it came to sports, but the real reason I was mad at Robbie most of my childhood life was because every time something went wrong, I always got
the blame and in trouble. Mom would say "You're older you should have known better" Yes she was right most of the time I did know better. I was
the middle child and I was always the one that got into trouble even though Robbie might have done it first. I had a good childhood for the most part, I

East Bay University. I don't exactly know the requirements of classes to get into Cal State, but as long as I get my AA degree I should be fine. I
am focused on technology and computers; I like to choose classes that can be similar to wiring or soldering. I am not that sure if I would be more
focused on computers or wiring, I think an Internship might help me out. My career would be Technician or Electrician because I'm focused on
electricity and wanting to discover what would happen without getting electrocuted. I'm still unsure if I just want to work on physical components
on the computer. I used to work on computers a lot, but it got boring and I can't do it as great now. Soldering is interesting for me because I get to
repair broken wires, being able to strip a wire. When striping a wire, you get to know how the wire is connected. I think a life event for me is to
grab my master's degree, which is what I'm focused on. That's like the best degree to get, but it's really difficult to receive. I wouldn't like going to

The Story of my Life...
People don't realize the sad truth that I've been holding on for and secretly suffering with most of my life. People seem to see me as a girl that is
naturally bubbly, happy, and outgoing. This was a way for me to hide my real emotions in the time when my depression andanxiety were major factors
impacting my self–esteem, just a couple of years ago. So, yes, I admit it –– I was a victim of depression and anxiety. My anxiety has been occurring
ever since I was a toddler. My usual anxious behavior would be when I would easily get nervous, wouldn't talk that well in order to be understood,
would go through emotional meltdowns at times, and so forth. My depression however, seem to connect a lot with my anxiety because of my
meltdowns and it would easily bring my self–esteem down. One interesting fact about my depression is that it got extreme when I was in middle
school. Many events in that time of my life made me feel absolutely worthless inside.
It is common knowledge that life is supposed to be hard and you are going to meet people that don't like you for you being yourself. Additionally, my
parents would always say this and repeat it to me in order to get me to understand and accept it. The thing is, it was hard accepting that. For instance,
during sixth and seventh grade, I cared a lot of what other people thought of me. I wanted it everyone to think I was cool and, most importantly, I
wanted to make many long–lasting friendships. However, this

Life Story : My Story Of My Life
As Dennis Kimbro said, "Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it," my life story coincides with Kimbro's quote. I have never
been dealt a group of hardships or unbelievable events like others had. My life has been easy in a sense, but what makes my story unique is how I
react to what I have been given. I have had opportunities that maybe everyone has had such as going to school but I have reacted to this opportunity
as choosing to try my best at it. I have chosen to apply myself to the best I can in everything I do. So, as I tell my story it won't be filled with a
whole bunch of emotional events but it's my story and it has made who I am.

My Past, Present, and Future Life
Reflective essay: My past, present and future life Introduction When I was growing up, I remember my family situation as extremely chaotic. I
was one of eight children and my father and mother had little time to devote to me individually. Most of the time they spent trying to earn enough
to support us with their meager resources. I was often called upon to act as a surrogate mother to my siblings. I felt I had little time to develop my
own unique perspective and voice when I was very young. Even as a preschooler I remember doing chores to help out at home. However, this
situation did foster some positive aspects of my character. I learned to be mature at an early age and gained a sense of competence because of my
responsibilities. But I also was taught put the needs of others second to my own. I feel that I did not learn to value my own, legitimate desires to an
adequate degree as a young girl and have only recently acquired a true sense of worth [THESIS]. Past According to the developmental theorist Erik
Erikson, every child proceeds through a series of social stages in which there is a core, essential conflict that must be addressed. If that conflict is not
fully resolved, the child carries that unresolved issue into the next stage, and cannot truly mature. During the preschool–age stage of 'industry versus
inferiority,' for example, although I gained a sense of competence as a caregiver, I also gained a sense of inferiority because my needs were supplanted

I would have to say this because I was very young and I didn't know who I could trust. The older I got the more I struggled with this stage. I would
say I struggled because you could never know who the right person was to trust. Another stage I would say I went through at this time is "Initiative
Versus Guilt" (Zastrow and Kirst–Ashman). This is when a child learns to build relationships and or has a hard time doing so. Although I was very
social, I was unable to know how to make friends. I would always feel guilty and would never know why I felt that way. At the age of six I was
officially adopted by the Henry family. My name was changed, my history was left behind. Not only was my history left behind, however, so
where my siblings. My parents were not able to adopt us all, causing all of to have to split up. This is one of the most traumatic moments in my
life. I still remember being pried from my little brother's arms, one of the most traumatic events in my life. I would have to say I was going through
Identity versus role confusion at this time. Being adopted, for a long time, meant to me that I did not belong. I did not know who my brothers and
sisters were. I also didn't know my mother and father, which caused an emotional hit on me. This caused me to feel like I didn't have an identity. I

Examples Of Milestones In My Life
To talk about milestones of my life, as a twenty–one years old girl in twenty–first century, maybe I am too naive for somebody else, or maybe someone
else will think I am not experienced much. Indeed, I cannot deny that truly I am not experienced as much as some people, but at least for me, every
milestone in my life is an emblem of my growth. When I am able to complete something new successfully or learn something from my failure instead
of complaining, I think I have grown up. When I am able to overcome my fears that stop me from doing something, I think I have grown up. When I
am able to find something I am passionate to and able to insist on, I think I have grown up. Something may be mattered a lot for someone, but it may

"They judge me like a picture book, by the colors like they forgot to read"–Lana del rey. Proving that people tend to judge without allowing themselves

My way of being deals many with my likes and dislikes and thanks to that, it has turned me into who I am obviously. It is those little occasions in

course I cannot name them all because I probably don't even know them yet, but just like there's things Id die for, there's also things I really wouldn't.
For example, I hate lies. I hate being lied to and the feeling you get after realizing someone has lied to you. I hate feeling betrayed honestly. I feel like
the worst thing a person can do to me is lie, especially when it's a person I know from long ago. I ask myself, why do people lie? What do they get out
of a lie anyway? Yes , thetruth hurts sometimes and that stinks, but a person who tells the truth is more respected and more trustworthy than a person
who lies. Most of the people prefer a beautiful lie over the ugly truth and that is just not right because lies are just empty words without meaning, full
of fake hope and happiness and even though they are full of such beautiful things, it is still a lie, and sadly it is all fake.

I was in ESL programs until I entered junior high school. Learning the language, and trying to keep up with the class work was a challenge for me.
Having friends who spoke my language, and the English language as well was an advantage I had. Having that extra help and support really made my
school experience challenging, but exciting as well.
Remembering the support I received from those friends creates a need in me to do the same for other people. I don't only believe that the support that I
can give to migrant students as a Mini–Corps student will help them in succeeding in school, but I believe that an appreciation for school can be
gained as well, and hopefully bring insight for continuing their studies beyond high school. As I improved in my English I also grew an interest in
writing. I enjoyed my English classes, along with my math classes too. My interest grew and grew, and I joined summer girl programs. After

My Life As A Student
My life as a student has been a fairly good one. I've received good grades throughout all my years of high school and pride myself as an intelligent
individual. But my individual ability to grow and learn has been always changing and shifting as I have grown. I think that currently, I am at a low
point in my mindset and learning ability, but there is hope on the horizon. This essay will explore the growth and mindset of Will Roser, and how
I can grow as a learner, friend, and individual. As a student, I have some habits that I rely on, both good and bad. I am usually a good student,
receiving above average grades and I am moderately happy with them. My strength is that I always get everything done on time. I never have an
excuse because my work is always done. I pride myself on that fact. And although that may seem like a good quality, the fact that I procrastinate so
much does affect how good that work may be. So yes, I always finish my work which is always a good thing, but it may be at the expense of my sleep
schedule. I tend to do most of my work the day before, despite telling myself over and over again that it needs to be done earlier. Luckily I have hope
for my habits as I am still young. I still have to work on my procrastination but I think that I can improve as long as I start to see the benefits of
starting work early. As William James says in his essayHabit, "The period between twenty and thirty is the critical one in the formation of intellectual

through the rotation I was paid with people I was reasonable close with so I did not feel judged. I feel as though we were to do this assignment
because it goes hand in hand with the life view and work view compasses. It gets us to think about who we really are and maybe what gave us the
perspectives we had on those views. Either way it was an interesting challenged and I managed to get through it, so it was okay. The first piece of
this challenge was being paired up with one person and telling them your life story. Now, I know many people probably say this, but my life story
is not really a super exiting one. I consider it to be pretty standard and basic even though in some ways it is different from the "average" life. I
suppose because this is what I think is normal and that's maybe why I don't consider my life story to be overly exiting. At least for right now. But
with that, I'll get into a brief summary of what my life story is. I was born in Calgary at Peterlauheed hospital, I had to have an emergency c–section
because my heart rest kept slowing down. Then after I was born they found that there was actually a second placenta so I could have potentially been a
twin. I was

The Story Of My Life

  • 1. The Story Of My Life With love and family comes heart break and sorrow. Certain individuals will let agony define them, and others will persevere and find the qualities of life that remain bright. In the past sixteen years of my life, I have experienced both dejection and elation; however, in my mind, those moments of defeat have left the most prominent scar behind. Although the initial experience may have been negative, knowledge and appreciation for life was gained because of it. In order for this story to make sense, I have to start from the beginning. Growing up, my older sister, Alisha, and I were raised by our mom and step–dad. We had a loving home and never seemed to need anything more. But as my sister and I grew, we started to get more and more curious in regard to our biological father. We knew that he was in prison, but never understood what for. Our mom was not comfortable speaking to us about him, so every time we asked she replied with," I will tell you when you're older." Trust me, the irritation was real. Once a month we would receive phone calls from our dad at the prison, up until the year 2013. After 7 years and 2 visitations, he finally got released from jail in the month of November. Alisha and I were ecstatic and couldn't wait to see him; however, my opinion of him soon changed. We got out to where he lived with his parents in Royal Oak, Michigan, and I realized that his personality was severely flawed. I still remember transparently the moment I came to the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Essay on My Family History My Family History Family history is very important to an individual. By knowing where you come from, you can have a better perspective of your life. Having a clear understanding of your family background allows you to better appreciate the things that you would normally take for granted. The house, the car, and the average clothing may look better when one sees the sacrifices their family has made. They will see that their family has worked very hard just so their family can experience the better things in life. A persons roots and origin is one of the most important things to explore. It alone can bring you closer to self–discovery. There are two sides to a person's family and one side of my family has...show more content... One of these is that on Thanksgiving everybody comes together to my parents' house in New Jersey for a huge feast. On Christmas only my mother and the children (me and my brother) travel to Illinois to spend a week with my grandparents. On New Years Eve we all get together at my parents' house in New Jersey and toast to the New Year with champagne and apple cider. During Labor Day weekend all of my family travels to South Jersey to my grandfathers' condo. We usually spend all of our time on the beach and barbequing, except on Sunday when we go to church. After all, my grandfather is a minister. One of our biggest family traditions is going back to Puerto Rico. Every year my mother and I travel back to Puerto Rico for a portion of our summer vacation. Now that I am older I travel there more often and stay there much longer. My father never joins because he doesn't like my mothers side of the father too much and he thinks that we when we speak Spanish we are all plotting against him. Of course that's not true though. My bother doesn't speak Spanish so he doesn't like to go either. I guess that tradition is one that belongs solely to my mother and I. The role of the people in family basically stayed the same for most of the generations with a little change in the later generations. Earlier the males were the only ones that worked in the family and the wife stayed at home and took care of the house and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Essay on A Day in My Life A Day in My Life My alarm clock starts beeping at 7:15 exactly and I groan and try to imagine that it isn't there. When the noise doesn't stop I roll over and hurl the unlucky object across the room. It invariably hits a precariously balanced pile of books or CD's and they invariably come crashing down, adding to the scene of devastation that is my bedroom floor. I then slowly drift off to sleep again; until, twenty minuets later, I am rudely awakened by my mum's voice shouting: "Danny you'll be late for school!". I turn over looking for my alarm clock and, realising that it's no longer a foot away from my right ear but at the other side of the room, I slowly climb out of my bed and get...show more content... After we have walked the length of the school twice we sit down to 15 minutes of tutor time. While I franticly finish the History homework due in five minutes time everyone else enjoys some time taunting Michael or Ashley about one thing or another. As Ben leaves the tutor room I shout after him "Ben! What we got now?" The reply comes: "Science. Mr Smith." "OK" I shout as I hurry after him. First lesson, despite being science, goes past in a dream. I have decided that however much I may look awake at nine o'clock in the morning I actually do not wake up until ten. Therefore, during first period (science or not) I am still fast asleep. This means that, except under special circumstances (i.e. a test), the amount of work completed in this lesson is fairly small.
  • 4. Second period, I am usually more awake (unless, of course, it is R.E, in which case I remain a deep sleep throughout, even if it's last lesson.). I.T with Mr. Wisson is almost never enjoyable. Despite my love of computers I cannot ever manage to squeeze even the slightest bit of satisfaction from an hours typing numbers, letters and mathematical equations into Excel or some such program. The teacher seems to think that because we are not doing IT long course we are all computer illiterate fools who find it hard to use Microsoft Word. Get more content on HelpWriting.net

My Life My Journey Essay As a very small child I don't remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child's eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory's with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student. Its funny how as a child you look at things. As time passes, those same child memories become life experiences as an adult. It is stated that Environmental assessment is closely related to the impact environment makes on...show more content... I lost my little brother in 1982 at age 22 in an accident at my parent's home. Robbie was taking down a C.B. antenna and it struck a high power line that ran into the local General Motors plant. Robbie was killed instantly. As Erickson's stated in his psychosocial development theory, "which refers to the development within the social environment in which a person lives, primarily focusing on relationships with other people" (Simanowitz & Pearce. 2003). This had brought back memories of how my relationship was when we were little. I was always kind of upset with Robbie because he was one of those kids that had that natural athletic ability. Robbie could run faster and throw better, do everything better when it came to sports, but the real reason I was mad at Robbie most of my childhood life was because every time something went wrong, I always got the blame and in trouble. Mom would say "You're older you should have known better" Yes she was right most of the time I did know better. I was the middle child and I was always the one that got into trouble even though Robbie might have done it first. I had a good childhood for the most part, I can't remember not doing without the things that I really needed as a child. Things like clothes, food, shelter and love from a family. I recall having my favorite things Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. My Life Story The story of my life. My life has been a crazy roller coaster. Going up and down in my life. While I was looking at all the article and reading assessment. I notice that my life relate to most of my classmates and my friends at school. I just guess that everyone have to deal with the real world. Even if they have to face it young or when they get older. The real world is unpredictable, but also inspire people to push them self to be better than yesterday. Like this quote that I readed "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." – Robert Frost. The first article that I pick is called "The Demoralized Mind". Like many teenage, just like me, I have a problem of putting my phone down. Demoralized mind explain young generation deal with emotional breakdown. It also explain how most kids lose their skill on interacting and communicating. I have this problem too. When I got my second interview, I practice and study hard on tempting to get this job. When I was interviewed, I said exactly every word that I plan to use for that interview. I was like a robot. Just like the article states "Understandably, they have become the trance generation, with an insatiable appetite for any technology that can downsize awareness and blunt the emotions." After I got my job, I was so happy, but later I was scared of interacting to the guests. I was scared of what they were going to think of me. I didn't know them, I also wasn't going to see them again. Guests come Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. The Story of My Life Essay This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom's friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school. I was born at Kaiser Hospital during the year 1996. The first place I lived was on the street Via Harriet and was right next to a train. It was always noisy when the train passed by because it shook the house and scared all the animals. It wasn't the best place to live, but we eventually moved to the hills, I don't remember...show more content... Overall I know that I'm going to graduate because I'm pushing hard and all I need to finish is my Cyber High and keep up my grades and I will graduate. I want to go to Chabot College because it's the closest place to go to. I am planning to get my associates degree then transfer to Cal State East Bay University. I don't exactly know the requirements of classes to get into Cal State, but as long as I get my AA degree I should be fine. I am focused on technology and computers; I like to choose classes that can be similar to wiring or soldering. I am not that sure if I would be more focused on computers or wiring, I think an Internship might help me out. My career would be Technician or Electrician because I'm focused on electricity and wanting to discover what would happen without getting electrocuted. I'm still unsure if I just want to work on physical components on the computer. I used to work on computers a lot, but it got boring and I can't do it as great now. Soldering is interesting for me because I get to repair broken wires, being able to strip a wire. When striping a wire, you get to know how the wire is connected. I think a life event for me is to grab my master's degree, which is what I'm focused on. That's like the best degree to get, but it's really difficult to receive. I wouldn't like going to years and years of education, but it's totally worth it. Getting a higher degree affects the amount Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. My Life Story The Story of my Life... People don't realize the sad truth that I've been holding on for and secretly suffering with most of my life. People seem to see me as a girl that is naturally bubbly, happy, and outgoing. This was a way for me to hide my real emotions in the time when my depression andanxiety were major factors impacting my self–esteem, just a couple of years ago. So, yes, I admit it –– I was a victim of depression and anxiety. My anxiety has been occurring ever since I was a toddler. My usual anxious behavior would be when I would easily get nervous, wouldn't talk that well in order to be understood, would go through emotional meltdowns at times, and so forth. My depression however, seem to connect a lot with my anxiety because of my meltdowns and it would easily bring my self–esteem down. One interesting fact about my depression is that it got extreme when I was in middle school. Many events in that time of my life made me feel absolutely worthless inside. It is common knowledge that life is supposed to be hard and you are going to meet people that don't like you for you being yourself. Additionally, my parents would always say this and repeat it to me in order to get me to understand and accept it. The thing is, it was hard accepting that. For instance, during sixth and seventh grade, I cared a lot of what other people thought of me.

  • 9. Life Story : My Story Of My Life As Dennis Kimbro said, "Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it," my life story coincides with Kimbro's quote. I have never been dealt a group of hardships or unbelievable events like others had. My life has been easy in a sense, but what makes my story unique is how I react to what I have been given. I have had opportunities that maybe everyone has had such as going to school but I have reacted to this opportunity as choosing to try my best at it. I have chosen to apply myself to the best I can in everything I do. So, as I tell my story it won't be filled with a whole bunch of emotional events but it's my story and it has made who I am. My story began in a Deaconess delivery room on January 11th, 2002. I was born to my parents Dario and Tami Nila as there 2nd child (and planned to be last). I was born five years after my older brother Elijah which has made us close. We all lived together in the same house our whole life, I have memories from playing with Legos in the corner by myself to celebrating holidays with friends and family. Nevertheless, as time passes so did our friends and family, as both of my grandpas passed in the following year. I have been fortunate to have been able to experience and appreciate what I do have. My grandmas have been in and out of our lives since I was around 5. However, five years later on May 1st my younger brother joined our family as the youngest child of 3.

I ask her to tell me anything I may not know, an interesting fact or a childhood memory. I ask her to tell me her life story. Duana Gaye Juneau grew up as the youngest of seven children. Her parents were hard workers. Because her father was a farmer and her mother was a nurse, she grew up understating what hard work does for a person. Duana's father instilled the idea, "anything is possible". With tears in her eyes she explains the effect these three words have had on her life and career. Today, as she spoke of her father. She tells me the fond memories she has of driving the tractor and feeding chickens, and pigs while growing up. My grandfather taught her that if she worked hard she would greatly succeed in life. At the age of six; my mom decided she wanted to be a hair dresser. To give this dream a kick start she cut off all of her sister's Barbie doll's hair. She said her sister was furious about her now ruined dolls, but for a good reason. After that, she moved on to braiding the horse's manes and tails. The horses appear to tolerate the pampering and sticking flowers in their hair. It was not until she brought her art scissors home from school that she really tested her limits. She cut bangs on all of one of her older sister's horses, and as punishment she had to help bathe the horse for a Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 12. My Past, Present, and Future Life Reflective essay: My past, present and future life Introduction When I was growing up, I remember my family situation as extremely chaotic. I was one of eight children and my father and mother had little time to devote to me individually. Most of the time they spent trying to earn enough to support us with their meager resources. I was often called upon to act as a surrogate mother to my siblings. I felt I had little time to develop my own unique perspective and voice when I was very young. Even as a preschooler I remember doing chores to help out at home. However, this situation did foster some positive aspects of my character. I learned to be mature at an early age and gained a sense of competence because of my responsibilities. But I also was taught put the needs of others second to my own. I feel that I did not learn to value my own, legitimate desires to an adequate degree as a young girl and have only recently acquired a true sense of worth [THESIS]. Past According to the developmental theorist Erik Erikson, every child proceeds through a series of social stages in which there is a core, essential conflict that must be addressed. If that conflict is not fully resolved, the child carries that unresolved issue into the next stage, and cannot truly mature. During the preschool–age stage of 'industry versus inferiority,' for example, although I gained a sense of competence as a caregiver, I also gained a sense of inferiority because my needs were supplanted by Get more content on HelpWriting.net

We were asked to use Erik Erikson's theory of development as a guideline to telling the story of our lives.

I will be walking you though my life using each one of his stages drawing out the map of my life. Within my life I have had some very interesting encounters.

I would have to say this because I was very young and I didn't know who I could trust. The older I got the more I struggled with this stage. I would say I struggled because you could never know who the right person was to trust. Another stage I would say I went through at this time is "Initiative Versus Guilt" (Zastrow and Kirst–Ashman). This is when a child learns to build relationships and or has a hard time doing so. Although I was very social, I was unable to know how to make friends. I would always feel guilty and would never know why I felt that way. At the age of six I was officially adopted by the Henry family. My name was changed, my history was left behind. Not only was my history left behind, however, so where my siblings. My parents were not able to adopt us all, causing all of to have to split up. This is one of the most traumatic moments in my life. I still remember being pried from my little brother's arms, one of the most traumatic events in my life. I would have to say I was going through Identity versus role confusion at this time. Being adopted, for a long time, meant to me that I did not belong. I did not know who my brothers and sisters were. I also didn't know my mother and father, which caused an emotional hit on me. This caused me to feel like I didn't have an identity. I was confused and was unsure of how to deal with the stress that was being thrown at me.

We were actively involved in community service activities, for which I received the Silver Award. ( The second highest award in the organization.) I learned about the value of friendship and patients with others. This organization first introduced me to my future career. I was also involved for three and a half years in a student government club on campus. In this club I learned many life lessons. One of which was the value of hard work. I was one of the few people that organized the Junior/Senior Prom of 2000. My responsibilities included planning corranation, buying and organizing decorations, planning the busing schedule, booking the photographers, fundraising, ect. This taught me about hard work.

Examples Of Milestones In My Life To talk about milestones of my life, as a twenty–one years old girl in twenty–first century, maybe I am too naive for somebody else, or maybe someone else will think I am not experienced much. Indeed, I cannot deny that truly I am not experienced as much as some people, but at least for me, every milestone in my life is an emblem of my growth. When I am able to complete something new successfully or learn something from my failure instead of complaining, I think I have grown up. When I am able to overcome my fears that stop me from doing something, I think I have grown up. When I am able to find something I am passionate to and able to insist on, I think I have grown up. Something may be mattered a lot for someone, but it may not make sense to others so I think milestone of my life is not something people considered that is meaningful to me, but things I considered significant.

  • 16. Short Story Essay : The Story Of My Life The Story of My Life "They judge me like a picture book, by the colors like they forgot to read"–Lana del rey. Proving that people tend to judge without allowing themselves to give me a chance. They always go with what their eyes tell, but they should know that I'm more than what I appear to be. My way of being deals many with my likes and dislikes and thanks to that, it has turned me into who I am obviously. It is those little occasions in life that have helped me see things from a different perspective , you know, see the world in a unique way. There are so many things I like, of course I cannot name them all because I probably don't even know them yet, but just like there's things Id die for, there's also things I really wouldn't. For example, I hate lies. I hate being lied to and the feeling you get after realizing someone has lied to you. I hate feeling betrayed honestly. I feel like the worst thing a person can do to me is lie, especially when it's a person I know from long ago. I ask myself, why do people lie? What do they get out of a lie anyway? Yes , thetruth hurts sometimes and that stinks, but a person who tells the truth is more respected and more trustworthy than a person who lies. Most of the people prefer a beautiful lie over the ugly truth and that is just not right because lies are just empty words without meaning, full of fake hope and happiness and even though they are full of such beautiful things, it is still a lie, and sadly it is all fake.

Before I moved to California my dad traveled back and forth for 2 or 3 yrs from California and back to Costa Rica. He spent most of his time working in the Fresno area, in the cities of Tulare, and Visalia. He says he spent his time working in any available job including some farm labor jobs and went back to Costa Rica to spend time with us. After the second time he left Costa Rica to come and work he did not go back. At that time, amnesty was given to immigrants in California, and he moved up north to the Bay area to find a steady job.

Learning the language, and trying to keep up with the class work was a challenge for me. Having friends who spoke my language, and the English language as well was an advantage I had. Having that extra help and support really made my school experience challenging, but exciting as well. Remembering the support I received from those friends creates a need in me to do the same for other people. I don't only believe that the support that I can give to migrant students as a Mini–Corps student will help them in succeeding in school, but I believe that an appreciation for school can be gained as well, and hopefully bring insight for continuing their studies beyond high school. As I improved in my English I also grew an interest in writing. I enjoyed my English classes, along with my math classes too. My interest grew and grew, and I joined summer girl programs. After participating two year, I became a mentor to those new peers coming into the program. I worked with teachers in Science, and in Math classes. I also participated in the volleyball activities, and group activities. This is when I realized I wanted to work with youth my whole life.

  • 18. My Life As A Student My life as a student has been a fairly good one. I've received good grades throughout all my years of high school and pride myself as an intelligent individual. But my individual ability to grow and learn has been always changing and shifting as I have grown. I think that currently, I am at a low point in my mindset and learning ability, but there is hope on the horizon. This essay will explore the growth and mindset of Will Roser, and how I can grow as a learner, friend, and individual. As a student, I have some habits that I rely on, both good and bad. I am usually a good student, receiving above average grades and I am moderately happy with them. My strength is that I always get everything done on time. I never have an excuse because my work is always done. I pride myself on that fact. And although that may seem like a good quality, the fact that I procrastinate so much does affect how good that work may be. So yes, I always finish my work which is always a good thing, but it may be at the expense of my sleep schedule. I tend to do most of my work the day before, despite telling myself over and over again that it needs to be done earlier. Luckily I have hope for my habits as I am still young. I still have to work on my procrastination but I think that I can improve as long as I start to see the benefits of starting work early.

I strive to focus on the quality of time I spend with my family when I am not able to get the quantity that I wish. I have a challenging career that requires a significant amount of my time and going back to school definitely makes it more challenging. I know that investing my time and energy in my education will allow me to spend more time with my family in the end and enable me to become a better provider. Educational Experience I was raised in a private Christian school as a child. I attended this school until I was in the sixth grade. In the sixth grade, my parents transitioned me to the public school system. I believe the lessons and faith I learned in the private school system have helped me become a better person. When I was younger, I took a great interest in school and did well. After transitioning to the public school system, I lost interest and my grades began to decline. School was never a priority for me and I put very little effort into studying or getting good grades. I have always seemed to retain information rather easily and did well enough on tests to pass classes despite not turning in many assignments. It seemed I always did just enough to pass. In fact, my GPA was just enough for me to graduate.

  • 20. My Life Story Essay Today during our CALM block we did an interesting exercise that focused on opening each one of us up, and get us talking about some specific pieces of our life. To be quite honest, this was a little challenging for me, as I don't really care to talk about my life, though it was a tad bit easier as through the rotation I was paid with people I was reasonable close with so I did not feel judged. I feel as though we were to do this assignment because it goes hand in hand with the life view and work view compasses. It gets us to think about who we really are and maybe what gave us the perspectives we had on those views. Either way it was an interesting challenged and I managed to get through it, so it was okay. The first piece of this challenge was being paired up with one person and telling them your life story. Now, I know many people probably say this, but my life story is not really a super exiting one. I consider it to be pretty standard and basic even though in some ways it is different from the "average" life. I suppose because this is what I think is normal and that's maybe why I don't consider my life story to be overly exiting. At least for right now.
