Personal Self Assessment Essay
Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more
about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process.
You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I
plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success
in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science.Self Assessment is
the first step in my successful future.
I can remember in high school, it seemed like I was always one of the last students finished with a
test.
I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions...show

I have discovered some interesting things I have noticed in myself before taking this course. For
example, my learning style I have noticed is the visual learning style.
With this, I prefer to see and read information to full gain comprehension. If I forget the data, or
not clearly understand it the first time read, I have the option of reading it over. I do not always
trust myself to absorb all information the first time around. I take a lot of notes to look at. Notes
help me remember even though I may not read the again, I can refer to them in my mind after
writing them down. I am not sure if just anyone reading them would get anything out of it, but at
least I know what they mean.
I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like
to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted
it as my very own. I am not sure if changing it this late in life is such a good idea. I have got by this
far, it must work out for me.
I have identified my personality style as being extroverted, one who becomes easily energized by
others, and outwardly expressing thoughts as long as I am fully understanding context and material
being discussed. If I have no idea what is being addressed, I am better of keeping quiet to save

What I Learned About Myself Essay
This class has taught me a lot about myself in such a brief period of time. I never thought I could
dig as deep as I did, and have a better understanding of who I am as a person just by writing a single
essay. I was not expecting the amount of self–awareness that I gained through this class. I really
enjoyed the hermit crab essays, because they really guided me to find my true feelings. It was hard
for me to get started writing at first and then once I got started, it was almost impossible to stop. I
love the feeling that I am in control of what I am writing and there are no restrictions and that I
can be vulnerable in my writing. This class really helped me show the vulnerable side of who I
am. I was sometimes moved to tears while I was writing because, I realized things about myself
that I never thought to be true before. I would get so excited that I would read it to my boyfriend,
family and friends. This class was in no way easy, but it was definitely worth it for many reasons.
I learned how to become a better writer, I learned about myself as a person, and I constructed
pieces of writing that I didn't know I was capable of. Some assignments became easier as time
went on because I became a stronger writer. However, I think the hardest one for me was having to
write about the room I was in. It didn't interest me because it didn't help me dig deeper into my
feelings or anything of that matter. I also didn't enjoy having to respond to different pieces of
writing, because it

Reflective Essay About Myself
Tell me a little bit about yourself. (Inspiration: Consider what brings you to the program, the roles
you identify with in your life, education & work experience, hobbies and interests, etc). I like to
think I'm very outgoing and ambitious. My mom always tells people about how when I was
much younger, and when she took me out grocery shopping I'd always smile and say hello to
anyone who walked by, I think that says a lot about my personality. My high school highly
recommended that everyone took a cooperative program before they graduated. This was the
opportunity I had been waiting for! Finally, I would be able to have the chance to gather some
actual career experience in something I've wanted to do for as long as I could remember, it was
my dream job! It was being a kindergarten teacher. From my very first day at my placement, I
managed to fall in love with every single aspect. After my placement I set out on my path to
further my education. I applied to all my top universities. I was very fortunate enough to be
accepted into all of them. However, when I delved further into researching the certain programs
that I had applied to, my options slowly dwindled. It was either too expensive and completely
unrealistic, or the program wouldn't lead me down the path of working in a preschool. However,
there was still my last option: at a University all the way in Windsor, a few minute drive away from
Detriot– yeah it was far. Although, the program was great. Concurrent

Descriptive Essay About Myself
I find it extremely tough to talk about myself and my personal traits. In order for me to dIscuss
who I am in an accurate manner then I must provide some basic background information on
myself and talk about the Environment I grew up in. This way people can get a better
understanding of why I am the way I am. My Background is so essential In making me myself

a different person than I am today. I was born inAberdeen Scotland but raised in Fort Bend County

Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always
grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's
houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different
people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group
projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work
together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them.
Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic
circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme
gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a
family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities.
One Opportunity I had as a child was participating in taekwondo. I did taekwondo until I reached a
blackbelt which took years of hardwork and dedication. I had to memorize forms, Spar with other
competitors and break boards in order to continue to move up to the next level. Taekwondo also
helped keep me in good shape and fit when I was younger. Another Opportunity I am grateful for is
the skill of playing the piano. At first I was not all that enthusiastic about playing it but my parents

Essay About Myself
There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as
intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly
right–brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also
making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend
most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors
and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people
has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have

I find that I can only recall long–term memories if they are important to me, or if they are dramatic
experiences. A few examples of my childhood memories are my mother reading to me, my
grandfather playing his guitar, and my dad relentlessly teaching me how to ice skate, no matter
how many times I fell. The people who affect my social life the most are my family and friends. I
have an extremely close family that has played a major role in my life. They are whom I spend
most of my spare time with. My family usually gathers every weekend for dinner. I am also very
open to different religions, cultures, and practices because I know many people with different
backgrounds and beliefs. Since I've been influenced by various people, I've learned at a very
young age to never judge people by how they look, dress, feel, or act. I am very fortunate to have
learned these lessons, because many people still do not understand the importance of accepting
differences. In a group, I prefer to listen to what others have to say, and then contribute to the
discussion. I try to listen so I am able to compare them to my own thoughts. I enjoy working in a
group, because it gives everyone an opportunity to incorporate their own ideas. My social self is
most greatly influenced by my family and friends. I believe that my spiritual self is the most
important out of the three. Although I have a certain religion that I belong to and practice, I believe

should know myself the best, right? I like to look at myself as a genuine, thoughtful young lady.
I'm a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to

I was taught to be caring and thoughtful; I wasn't taught anything else from anyone other than not to
trust people. I'm the odd ball of my family because I am nothing like anyone. I can say I was also
taught to believe in myself and never down myself because I can accomplish anything. That is
shown through my determination and hard work because if I didn't believe in myself I wouldn't try
as hard. Last but not all, Humanistic approach sums up my personality a little more than
psychodynamic does because it involves nature vs. nurture and that kind of sums it up just saying
that. Environment and Heredity is kind of the main reasons of my attitudes and actions. In the
article, Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Briggs conducts different forms of
psychotherapy techniques to prove whether things in an adolescent's life effect different adolescents
differently. His study was a success and proved that many adolescents have different interpretations
on the same issue. He read them off different problems and wanted to see how they would interpret
them. He used children in the age groups of 12–17 and it worked out. I think that the different
approaches can be brought together in some circumstances but in my case it doesn't. My personality
makes more sense coming from the humanistic approach. Briggs, Stephen (2010). Time–Limited

Essay About Myself
School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one–third of my
life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much
time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my
memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However,
regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I
am now. I was accused of cheating for the first time when I was seven years old. It was during the
term final where the performance of the test indicates all the progress the student had made
throughout the semester, so its importance was never over emphasized. Though...show more content...
Everything started anew, I was all by myself. While I was busy getting used to the school and
making new friends, I also discovered a new passion, soccer. Through soccer I was able to meet
some of my most loyal friends. We would often get together and play soccer against other classes.
The school required a test for admission, so the competition was getting fierce. The teachers
focused a lot on our academics and tried to squeeze as much time as they can from us to study. As
the result, we were not allowed to play soccer during our free time because it hinders us from
studying. Maybe it is human tendency to break laws, but the gang of us didn’t want to
conform to that rule so sneaking a soccer ball to school and keep it away from the teachers
became an everyday challenge. It was amazing the kind of ideas we came up with for this task.
Soccer added spices into my otherwise boring school life, and it served as a channel between me
and my fellow classmates. Through soccer we found a common ground, that we were able to know
each other more and support each other no matter what happens. It gave us a sense of unity, and it
was very important to me. Even now I cherish the pact I had with them back then – the support that
helped me to stay on the right track during my rebel teenage years. My homeroom teacher at the
time had the most impact on me than any other mentors I had. People say

Personal Essay : My Personal Qualities
My Personal Qualities
Over the course, I have learned that all people are unique and have their own personal traits and
qualities. One person does not just simply fall into one category, but various categories. What is
beautiful about all of us is that we all have diverse personalities, traits and qualities. I have learned
that we should be proud of and embrace these unique qualities of ours.
As a perfectionist, I like to present my things beautifully and creatively, and it is clearly seen on
my collage. I appreciate beautiful things and this is why I got beauty/aesthetics as one of my
highest totals on the values survey. On my collage, I put a picture of a microscope, with the circular

I know and I have been told that I am a kind and sympathetic person, because I love to help people
and put a smile on their faces. Even when someone is being rude, I try to "kill them with kindness"
in return. I used the quote: "Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind,
a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul". I chose to use this quote because I adore it
and I go by it. What matters most is in the inside, not on the outside. I think people sometimes, even
me, get too caught up and try too hard to look beautiful, but they don't focus on personality.
A) I expected to get artistic, creative and investigative as my results on surveys that I took, because
I already knew I had these traits as a part of my personality. However, the results from mylearning
styles survey were a little surprising to me. I got visual as my highest total score, while kinesthetic
and auditory were almost balanced out scores. The reason why I was a little surprised was that last
year, I took a survey to figure out my learning style, and I got both auditory and visual learner. The
results have their little differences, but that shows people do change over time. Learning styles can
be learned and strengthened.
I learned plenty of things from my results. My values–which I didn't see clearly–are now clear, and I
found out the little unique things that make up my personality. From my personality survey, I am

Describe Myself As A Student
Describe yourself as a student and also your aspirations for the future. Please include examples from
your personal academic and non–academic experiences.
A sophomore at Downtown Magnets High School, I demonstrate passion in my education, ambition
in fulfilling my personal and academic goals, and am an explorative student. My passion for learning
is the result of my mindset, in that aside from finding education a necessity, it is enjoyable,
challenging, and beneficial in fulfilling my future aspirations. For example, I find my Honors
Advanced Mathematics class my most unique course. It builds upon my ability to critically think,
present data or information, and understand higher–level math at a rapid pace. In particular, it is the
ability to solve real–world situations and the underlying mystery mathematicians have yet to solve
that intrigues me to continue learning. The class expects much of me, but I am aware that it is
preparing me for college– and university–level math while providing me with the skills to pursue a
career in Architectural/ Structural Engineering. Ambitious, I set objectives for myself and arrange to
accomplish and excel in the process. For instance, I participated in my middle school's academic
decathlon with a chance to represent my school in the mathematics single–subject exam. In doing so,
I attempted to score a near perfect to perfect score. While the competition did not end the way I
expected, I successfully gained a flawless score on the questions

The Self Essay
The Self Every situation that an individual is exposed to throughout life, helps mold our "self." As
humans we have the ability to see ourselves from the outside, and all through life we try to see what
others see and our "self" revolves around the generalized other. We observe how others perceive us
and we make conclusions depending on our observations. How we act around others depends on the
image we feel they have towards us.
Charles Horton Cooley, a symbolic interactionist, concluded that our sense of "self" develops from
interactions with others. Cooley described this process as the...show more content...
On the other hand if you see yourself as an individual who can communicate without a problem and
you see that you can keep others interested in a given conversations, your reaction is more positive.
Through this looking– glass self we develop a "self" concept. Depending on the observations we
make concerning the reactions of others we develop feelings and ideas about ourselves. The
reflection we see in the mirror is either negative or positive depending on the feedback we get back
from those around us. Misjudgments of the reactions of others become part of our "self" concept
also the misinterpretations of how others think of us. Self concepts begins in childhood but it
continues to develop throughout life. As we observe how other people react to us, we modify our
"self."
The "self" is never a finished project, and it continues to change as our life takes different turns. Our
"self" reacts to the environment that we are in. As the "self" expands we put together the different
reactions making us a unique individual. Every individual has a different way of thinking and
therefore they make their own choices about certain situations. Going through different life changes,
means the "self" is expected to change to accommodate the life stage we find our selves in. The
way we perceived things when

It is seen as an essential part of learning and using what you learn in class. But when you get loads of
class work and have very little time to finish it, then it becomes an unnecessary burden. Yet,
sometimes, for me, it is the fact that I procrastinate that prevents me from completing a task. For
college student, like myself who is working to pay for college, large amounts of class work
usually brings lots of stress and fear of not being able to get good grades in many of my classes.
Yet, I have support from my family, friends, and some peers who encourage me to put up a good
fight in reaching my goal. I am a student that has gone through so much to get here, where I am.
There were times that I had strong feelings that I would never be in college, just because of the
negative energy I forced upon myself. Since pre–K, I have had this problem that if I can't do
something I just give up, and stop trying. I still have this problem, but I have learned to get a control
on it. The biggest problem was graduating from high school. I never thought that I would ever
graduate. But I knew, as a student, I should at least try and show my teachers that I am putting effort.
And now, I'm in college, studying pre–med, and hoping to become either a pediatrician, or a NFL
Doctor. Growing up as a daughter to a single mom, was, I think, the best experience ever. I was, and

Reflection About Myself
After some time of reflecting over myself and characterizing my own self, I have came up with a
few characteristics of myself. These characteristics are words I feel can be used to describe
myself. The characteristics I have chosen are trustworthy, optimistic, and independent. I find
myself to be a pretty trustworthy person. I have been a person that people have been able to come
to me with a problem and ask for advice. I can also keep secrets pretty well. An example of
something that can contradict me being a trustful person is when I have to lie to someone to
keep someone's secret. An example of this is when I had to lie to my dad that my mom was out
of town. My parents are divorced and my dad lives about an hour away from Smithville. My mom
had to go out of town for a work trip. Since it was during the week, my mom did not want us to
have to go to my dads because it would be tough to get back and forth to school. We also knew
that my dad would be stubborn and persistent about having us stay at his house. So in conclusion,
my Grandma came and watched us while my mom was out of town and I told my dad that she
would be home. This trait did not really start to form until the beginning of my Freshman year. A
lot of my traits started last year because up until then, well, I as well as my other classmates have

accustomed to. I find optimistic a word to describe me well because I am

I was born and grow up in China, Tianjin, a big city where just an hour away from Beijing. Since
my mom wants to give me a better living environment, and better chance of education; so, we
decided to move to US. When I moved to the US in 2012, I was only sixteen years old and barely
spoke any English. Even I had learned English for all my school life in China, I still didn't
understand when other talking to me. The new life was totally different, it was tough and
challenging for me. The new language environment and culture differences were giving me a hard
time to fit into this country. When I first came to Chicago; Mother and I went through a great
amount of troubles trying to enroll me in a high school. Many schools turned me down because of
my lack of English skills. They wrote me a letter and send me to an ESL class at a community
college.
As soon as my mother settled me down in a small apartment, she left me to work in another state.
She needs to make money to support me and our family, so I have no choice to live alone by
myself. I was facing the challenge of fending for myself in a totally strange environment, where I
didn't know enough English to ask for help. When I was in China, I never had to cook, shop for
groceries, and walk to school. For the first time in my life, I had to do everything by myself. I had
so little money that I could not afford to eat at restaurants every day. Therefore, I had no choice but
to cook for myself. At first, my mother was the only person I can ask for advice. But when it came
to practice, it felt ten times harder than it sounds to me. I remember practicing cutting on potatoes.

I chose dedication because I knew that it was something that I could write a lot on. This was my
favorite essay to write in the class, mostly because the topic was something that I could write a lot
on. The best part about this essay is the way that it was written, it was very easy to read. Also the
way the opposing views and examples worked well in showing how what I said was good. The
ending could have been a lot better, there was not much of a conclusion to it, and it was weak
compared to how the rest of the essay was. Also, I tended to have some very long paragraphs, and
then some smaller ones too. I need to work better on making sure that all of the paragraphs are
closer in length and how to try and limit writing on one specific topic (paragraph) and learn how to
move onto the next.
After that, there was the Research Essay, and I chose to write on concussion in football. I chose
to write on this topic, because I have always been interested in this. I explained what a concussion
was, and how people get them and what to do when you have one. I also talked about the new
changes or ways that the sport is making to help prevent concussions. I liked how the essay flowed

cast on her arm, and the hair I had ever seen. Her hair was the same color as mine, but about triple
the length, and with more curl in it. Jealousy immediately swept over me. It seemed like this girl

Characteristics Of Myself Essay
We, as human beings, have many characteristics and traits that we view of our self positively;
however, some traits do change due to our insecurity of other individual judgments which may lead
to the outcome of others viewing us differently. This report will briefly explain the way I see myself
portray to the society and how other majority individuals see the individual I truly am.
The qualities I consider that I do not have for my personality is I am not creative, confident,
compulsive, curious, humorous and selfish. This shows that I am an individual who is selfless or
inquisitive. Although, I am not confident nor am I compulsive or humorous this demonstrates I am
introverted from the society and would like to be hidden in the dark when it comes to presentations
or meeting new strangers. I am not proud of this since I realized I care way too much about what
others have their opinions on me. If I were confident and cared less about what others thought about
me, I would have the traits as compulsive, confident, humorous and much more. In addition, this is
one of the reasons why others think I am shy at times due to my lack of confidence. Therefore, I do
have to work on putting myself out there to the society which will slowly happen.
I believe that I am friendly, kind, reliable, hardworking, punctual, and ambitious. Ever since I was a
child, my parents brought good manners and positive moral teachings into me. One of the lessons
they taught and I must obey is that I

Reflective Essay About Myself
Walking into my fifth grade classroom for the millionth time, I searched around the room to see
if there was anyone like me. A girl with chocolate skin. For as long as I can remember, I was the
only one in my grade, ever since I started school. But this did not mean I did not have friends.
Caterina and I were best friends that year. She was from Venezuela, had white olive skin with
long blonde hair, and light eyes. One school day, when we were walking to P.E., she said to me "I
like your hair because it stays in place." A little taken back, I was not sure if this a compliment or
not, but I said thank you anyway. Her comment had stayed with me for the rest of the day. I began
to wonder why my hair grew the way it did and if I could change it. This was, thus the beginning
of my insecurities. Going to school every few months with a different hairstyle would raise a few
questions for my classmates. Different styles,such as, box braids and marley twists, would
change my attitude because I no longer looked the way I felt most of the time, ugly. But because
I knew my look was only temporary, I did my best not to draw attention to myself. As I advanced
grades, I always hoped there would be someone like me. Not necessarily student. After fifth grade, I
figured I might as well conquer eighth grade alone. It would at least be nice to have a teacher to
talk to about when I get angry about each day instead of keeping everything bottled up. A person "...
to vent [my] frustrations,

My Personal Feelings of Self Worth Essay
People's self–esteem either high or low is shaped by their life experiences. I believe a person's
self–esteem begins to take shape at an early age, with their parents being a major influence. Kind,
positive, knowledgeable and caring parents help children create a positive self–image. Parents who
do not feel good about themselves or others, sometimes take it out on their childern by belittling
them or discouraging them. This leads the child down a path of self–doubt and eventually given the
right circumstances a lower self–esteem.
My parents where very overprotective which sounds good on the surface, but this caused me to
feel unequal to my peers since my parents would not let me play sports or even go on a field trip one
time because...show more content...
If that was not enough to deal with, I also have red hair and freckles so I was constantly teased
about my appearance. All this contributed to my own lack of self–confidence and a feeling that I
was not as good as my peers.
These are some experiences that have shaped my self–esteem. I do not portend to make excuses for
myself; I only want to illustrate that you can let these experiences either motivate you or
de–motivate you, the choice is always yours. I let these life experiences de–motivate until I came to
the realization that you should not let others determine your fate or what you can achieve.
Years ago I read a passage in a book by: "Louise L. Hay" she said; every morning you can get up and
look in the mirror and decide what kind of day you are going to have." The beauty of it is, you
can get up the following morning and decide all over again. This is a powerful statement, letting
us know we have the power to control our feelings and shape our outlook on life. If you are telling
yourself positive things, it will help you build a positive self–esteem.
Example:
Not long ago a golfer on the PGA Tour, was having trouble with his putting, he was losing
confidence, it was starting to effect his whole game and his self–esteem since even the TV
Announcers, where talking about his putting troubles. He choose to start telling himself that he was
a great putter of the golf ball and in a short

Essay About Myself as a Writer
I don't consider myself a very good writer. I write when I am made to or when I have something
that I need to say that I can't just tell someone. I keep a diary. Usually my diary is just a record of
what I have done that day. It's not so much about my feelings. I don't really like talking about my
feelings, usually because most of the time I am confused about what exactly I am feeling. I tend to
keep the feelings that I do have to myself, to protect myself from getting hurt.
I didn't have that many close friends in high school. I always was just kind of there. I was no one
important. Everyone seems to have his or her place in this world of high school and it seemed that
my place was on the outside that I...show more content...
When I started my high school, I found my current best friend, Marie. We are still friends to this day;
she just left for college at George Mason. So once again I'm not with my best friend.
I'm not trying to make my life all depressing because it hasn't been all bad. And I realize that
people have had things a lot worse happen to them, in their lives, and I should be thankful for
what I have. But no matter what I have I just never seem truly happy. I always have this front up,
and it seems like everything is going great, but deep inside, I'm falling apart. This comes out in
my writing, and I think that writing is a good release from all of this. I always try to do my best
when it comes to my class work and my writing, but I know that my writing isn't the best by any
means. I always find it important to the best job that I can do, on school work and also in life.
I think that a lot of what got me through writing papers in middle and high school was my mom.
She was so great about reading over and correcting my papers. She stayed up many nights doing
that for me. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to help me. There were so many other
things she could have been doing, but instead she was helping me, and that means a lot to me. I'm
kind of nervous about doing this all on my own. I'm excited thought o see what I can do on my
own. I am so excited about starting new here, with a clean slate. I think that

Characteristics Of Myself Essay
I was born fourteen years ago and I have acquired many qualities in those fourteen years. One is I
like to see myself as a very relatable person who many people can talk to. Many of my friends tell
me that I am very relatable and a very honest person who says their honest opinion, which I can
only agree with. Another word I hear a lot from my friends is that I am a chill, also known as
relaxed or easy going. Listening to my friends is another good quality I believe I have. I can
always sense when something isn't right. I believe I am also fairly good at judging people's
character, so I think in some way that saves me from hanging out with bad people and also
knowing which ones are the good ones. Adapting is another thing I am good at because of the
many times I have moved. That also helps me get good at making friends all kinds of places, even
in different countries. I get told a lot that I have a lot of friends and honestly I'm not totally sure
how I have become friends with so many people. But I am not complaining. Most of my friends
also say I am trustworthy and cool. Another thing I get told a lot is that I am hilarious. I mean I
can just say the simplest things and my friends will laugh. All of these qualities are qualities that I
like about myself but I also feel that many of my friends have the same traits. I like to hangout
around people who remind me of myself. Most of my friends are funny and kind. They are all
trustworthy and of course very cool. My friends are

Sample Essay About Myself

  • 1. Personal Self Assessment Essay Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science.Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future. I can remember in high school, it seemed like I was always one of the last students finished with a test. I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions...show more content... I have discovered some interesting things I have noticed in myself before taking this course. For example, my learning style I have noticed is the visual learning style. With this, I prefer to see and read information to full gain comprehension. If I forget the data, or not clearly understand it the first time read, I have the option of reading it over. I do not always trust myself to absorb all information the first time around. I take a lot of notes to look at. Notes help me remember even though I may not read the again, I can refer to them in my mind after writing them down. I am not sure if just anyone reading them would get anything out of it, but at least I know what they mean. I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted it as my very own. I am not sure if changing it this late in life is such a good idea. I have got by this far, it must work out for me. I have identified my personality style as being extroverted, one who becomes easily energized by others, and outwardly expressing thoughts as long as I am fully understanding context and material being discussed. If I have no idea what is being addressed, I am better of keeping quiet to save myself from Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. What I Learned About Myself Essay This class has taught me a lot about myself in such a brief period of time. I never thought I could dig as deep as I did, and have a better understanding of who I am as a person just by writing a single essay. I was not expecting the amount of self–awareness that I gained through this class. I really enjoyed the hermit crab essays, because they really guided me to find my true feelings. It was hard for me to get started writing at first and then once I got started, it was almost impossible to stop. I love the feeling that I am in control of what I am writing and there are no restrictions and that I can be vulnerable in my writing. This class really helped me show the vulnerable side of who I am. I was sometimes moved to tears while I was writing because, I realized things about myself that I never thought to be true before. I would get so excited that I would read it to my boyfriend, family and friends. This class was in no way easy, but it was definitely worth it for many reasons. I learned how to become a better writer, I learned about myself as a person, and I constructed pieces of writing that I didn't know I was capable of. Some assignments became easier as time went on because I became a stronger writer. However, I think the hardest one for me was having to write about the room I was in. It didn't interest me because it didn't help me dig deeper into my feelings or anything of that matter. I also didn't enjoy having to respond to different pieces of writing, because it Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Reflective Essay About Myself Tell me a little bit about yourself. (Inspiration: Consider what brings you to the program, the roles you identify with in your life, education & work experience, hobbies and interests, etc). I like to think I'm very outgoing and ambitious. My mom always tells people about how when I was much younger, and when she took me out grocery shopping I'd always smile and say hello to anyone who walked by, I think that says a lot about my personality. My high school highly recommended that everyone took a cooperative program before they graduated. This was the opportunity I had been waiting for! Finally, I would be able to have the chance to gather some actual career experience in something I've wanted to do for as long as I could remember, it was my dream job! It was being a kindergarten teacher. From my very first day at my placement, I managed to fall in love with every single aspect. After my placement I set out on my path to further my education. I applied to all my top universities. I was very fortunate enough to be accepted into all of them. However, when I delved further into researching the certain programs that I had applied to, my options slowly dwindled. It was either too expensive and completely unrealistic, or the program wouldn't lead me down the path of working in a preschool. However, there was still my last option: at a University all the way in Windsor, a few minute drive away from Detriot– yeah it was far. Although, the program was great.

  • 4. Descriptive Essay About Myself I find it extremely tough to talk about myself and my personal traits. In order for me to dIscuss who I am in an accurate manner then I must provide some basic background information on myself and talk about the Environment I grew up in. This way people can get a better understanding of why I am the way I am. My Background is so essential In making me myself because If I had been born under any different circumstances or grew up any differently I would be a different person than I am today. I was born inAberdeen Scotland but raised in Fort Bend County Texas. Aberdeen and Fort Bend both have great opportunities but differ in many ways. One way in which they differ is that Fort Bend is very culturally diverse while in Aberdeen most of...show more content... Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them. Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities. One Opportunity I had as a child was participating in taekwondo. I did taekwondo until I reached a blackbelt which took years of hardwork and dedication. I had to memorize forms, Spar with other competitors and break boards in order to continue to move up to the next level. Taekwondo also helped keep me in good shape and fit when I was younger. Another Opportunity I am grateful for is the skill of playing the piano. At first I was not all that enthusiastic about playing it but my parents has signed me up and insisted I Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Essay About Myself There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly right–brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and...show more content... I find that I can only recall long–term memories if they are important to me, or if they are dramatic experiences. A few examples of my childhood memories are my mother reading to me, my grandfather playing his guitar, and my dad relentlessly teaching me how to ice skate, no matter how many times I fell. The people who affect my social life the most are my family and friends. I have an extremely close family that has played a major role in my life. They are whom I spend most of my spare time with. My family usually gathers every weekend for dinner. I am also very open to different religions, cultures, and practices because I know many people with different backgrounds and beliefs. Since I've been influenced by various people, I've learned at a very young age to never judge people by how they look, dress, feel, or act. I am very fortunate to have learned these lessons, because many people still do not understand the importance of accepting differences. In a group, I prefer to listen to what others have to say, and then contribute to the discussion. I try to listen so I am able to compare them to my own thoughts. I enjoy working in a group, because it gives everyone an opportunity to incorporate their own ideas. My social self is most greatly influenced by my family and friends. I believe that my spiritual self is the most important out of the three. Although I have a certain religion that I belong to and practice, I believe in a bit of Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Essay on Me Myself and Personality Traits Me Myself and Personality Traits When asked to describe myself I never know what to say, but I should know myself the best, right? I like to look at myself as a genuine, thoughtful young lady. I'm a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to get to this point of my life and working even harder to get to the successful and graduate part of my life. I care more for some others than I do myself but I have a huge nonchalant attitude. I don't really show anger or sadness much I always smile because I'm optimistic about life. I look at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can't take it back so just move–on and improve what you did wrong if it's possible....show more content... I was taught to be caring and thoughtful; I wasn't taught anything else from anyone other than not to trust people. I'm the odd ball of my family because I am nothing like anyone. I can say I was also taught to believe in myself and never down myself because I can accomplish anything. That is shown through my determination and hard work because if I didn't believe in myself I wouldn't try as hard. Last but not all, Humanistic approach sums up my personality a little more than psychodynamic does because it involves nature vs. nurture and that kind of sums it up just saying that. Environment and Heredity is kind of the main reasons of my attitudes and actions. In the article, Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Briggs conducts different forms of psychotherapy techniques to prove whether things in an adolescent's life effect different adolescents differently. His study was a success and proved that many adolescents have different interpretations on the same issue. He read them off different problems and wanted to see how they would interpret them. He used children in the age groups of 12–17 and it worked out. I think that the different approaches can be brought together in some circumstances but in my case it doesn't. My personality makes more sense coming from the humanistic approach. Briggs, Stephen (2010). Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Adolescents and Young Adults.

  • 7. Essay About Myself School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one–third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now. I was accused of cheating for the first time when I was seven years old. It was during the term final where the performance of the test indicates all the progress the student had made throughout the semester, so its importance was never over emphasized. Though...show more content... Everything started anew, I was all by myself. While I was busy getting used to the school and making new friends, I also discovered a new passion, soccer. Through soccer I was able to meet some of my most loyal friends. We would often get together and play soccer against other classes. The school required a test for admission, so the competition was getting fierce. The teachers focused a lot on our academics and tried to squeeze as much time as they can from us to study. As the result, we were not allowed to play soccer during our free time because it hinders us from studying. Maybe it is human tendency to break laws, but the gang of us didn’t want to conform to that rule so sneaking a soccer ball to school and keep it away from the teachers became an everyday challenge. It was amazing the kind of ideas we came up with for this task. Soccer added spices into my otherwise boring school life, and it served as a channel between me and my fellow classmates. Through soccer we found a common ground, that we were able to know each other more and support each other no matter what happens. It gave us a sense of unity, and it was very important to me. Even now I cherish the pact I had with them back then – the support that helped me to stay on the right track during my rebel teenage years. My homeroom teacher at the time had the most impact on me than any other mentors I had. People say Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I have learned that we should be proud of and embrace these unique qualities of ours. As a perfectionist, I like to present my things beautifully and creatively, and it is clearly seen on my collage.

Even when someone is being rude, I try to "kill them with kindness" in return. I used the quote: "Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul". I chose to use this quote because I adore it and I go by it. What matters most is in the inside, not on the outside. I think people sometimes, even me, get too caught up and try too hard to look beautiful, but they don't focus on personality. A) I expected to get artistic, creative and investigative as my results on surveys that I took, because I already knew I had these traits as a part of my personality. However, the results from mylearning styles survey were a little surprising to me. I got visual as my highest total score, while kinesthetic and auditory were almost balanced out scores. The reason why I was a little surprised was that last year, I took a survey to figure out my learning style, and I got both auditory and visual learner. The results have their little differences, but that shows people do change over time. Learning styles can be learned and strengthened. I learned plenty of things from my results.

My passion for learning is the result of my mindset, in that aside from finding education a necessity, it is enjoyable, challenging, and beneficial in fulfilling my future aspirations. For example, I find my Honors Advanced Mathematics class my most unique course. It builds upon my ability to critically think, present data or information, and understand higher–level math at a rapid pace. In particular, it is the ability to solve real–world situations and the underlying mystery mathematicians have yet to solve that intrigues me to continue learning. The class expects much of me, but I am aware that it is preparing me for college– and university–level math while providing me with the skills to pursue a career in Architectural/ Structural Engineering.

But when you get loads of class work and have very little time to finish it, then it becomes an unnecessary burden. Yet, sometimes, for me, it is the fact that I procrastinate that prevents me from completing a task. For college student, like myself who is working to pay for college, large amounts of class work usually brings lots of stress and fear of not being able to get good grades in many of my classes. Yet, I have support from my family, friends, and some peers who encourage me to put up a good fight in reaching my goal. I am a student that has gone through so much to get here, where I am. There were times that I had strong feelings that I would never be in college, just because of the negative energy I forced upon myself. Since pre–K, I have had this problem that if I can't do something I just give up, and stop trying. I still have this problem, but I have learned to get a control on it.

  • 14. Reflection About Myself After some time of reflecting over myself and characterizing my own self, I have came up with a few characteristics of myself. These characteristics are words I feel can be used to describe myself. The characteristics I have chosen are trustworthy, optimistic, and independent. I find myself to be a pretty trustworthy person. I have been a person that people have been able to come to me with a problem and ask for advice. I can also keep secrets pretty well. An example of something that can contradict me being a trustful person is when I have to lie to someone to keep someone's secret. An example of this is when I had to lie to my dad that my mom was out of town. My parents are divorced and my dad lives about an hour away from Smithville. My mom had to go out of town for a work trip. Since it was during the week, my mom did not want us to have to go to my dads because it would be tough to get back and forth to school. We also knew that my dad would be stubborn and persistent about having us stay at his house. So in conclusion, my Grandma came and watched us while my mom was out of town and I told my dad that she would be home.

I was born and grow up in China, Tianjin, a big city where just an hour away from Beijing. Since my mom wants to give me a better living environment, and better chance of education; so, we decided to move to US.

I was facing the challenge of fending for myself in a totally strange environment, where I didn't know enough English to ask for help. When I was in China, I never had to cook, shop for groceries, and walk to school. For the first time in my life, I had to do everything by myself. I had so little money that I could not afford to eat at restaurants every day. Therefore, I had no choice but to cook for myself. At first, my mother was the only person I can ask for advice.

The best part about this essay is the way that it was written, it was very easy to read. Also the way the opposing views and examples worked well in showing how what I said was good. The ending could have been a lot better, there was not much of a conclusion to it, and it was weak compared to how the rest of the essay was. Also, I tended to have some very long paragraphs, and then some smaller ones too. I need to work better on making sure that all of the paragraphs are closer in length and how to try and limit writing on one specific topic (paragraph) and learn how to move onto the next. After that, there was the Research Essay, and I chose to write on concussion in football. I chose to write on this topic, because I have always been interested in this.

Most of the parents were mingling and asking questions to the teacher, while the kids tried to find their place. Some kids had already began to play games with one another. Others, like me, were more shy, still clinging to their parent. In all the commotion, I noticed a girl who had the longest hair in the entire class of kindergartners. She looked a lot like me except she had freckles, a pink cast on her arm, and the hair I had ever seen. Her hair was the same color as mine, but about triple the length, and with more curl in it. Jealousy immediately swept over me. It seemed like this girl had everything I had ever wished for in my entire life.

  • 19. Characteristics Of Myself Essay We, as human beings, have many characteristics and traits that we view of our self positively; however, some traits do change due to our insecurity of other individual judgments which may lead to the outcome of others viewing us differently. This report will briefly explain the way I see myself portray to the society and how other majority individuals see the individual I truly am. The qualities I consider that I do not have for my personality is I am not creative, confident, compulsive, curious, humorous and selfish. This shows that I am an individual who is selfless or inquisitive. Although, I am not confident nor am I compulsive or humorous this demonstrates I am introverted from the society and would like to be hidden in the dark when it comes to presentations or meeting new strangers. I am not proud of this since I realized I care way too much about what others have their opinions on me. If I were confident and cared less about what others thought about me, I would have the traits as compulsive, confident, humorous and much more. In addition, this is one of the reasons why others think I am shy at times due to my lack of confidence. Therefore, I do have to work on putting myself out there to the society which will slowly happen. I believe that I am friendly, kind, reliable, hardworking, punctual, and ambitious.

For as long as I can remember, I was the only one in my grade, ever since I started school. But this did not mean I did not have friends. Caterina and I were best friends that year. She was from Venezuela, had white olive skin with long blonde hair, and light eyes. One school day, when we were walking to P.E., she said to me "I like your hair because it stays in place." A little taken back, I was not sure if this a compliment or not, but I said thank you anyway. Her comment had stayed with me for the rest of the day. I began to wonder why my hair grew the way it did and if I could change it. This was, thus the beginning of my insecurities. Going to school every few months with a different hairstyle would raise a few questions for my classmates. Different styles,such as, box braids and marley twists, would change my attitude because I no longer looked the way I felt most of the time, ugly. But because I knew my look was only temporary, I did my best not to draw attention to myself. As I advanced grades, I always hoped there would be someone like me. Not necessarily student. After fifth grade, I figured I might as well conquer eighth grade alone.

I believe a person's self–esteem begins to take shape at an early age, with their parents being a major influence. Kind, positive, knowledgeable and caring parents help children create a positive self–image. Parents who do not feel good about themselves or others, sometimes take it out on their childern by belittling them or discouraging them. This leads the child down a path of self–doubt and eventually given the right circumstances a lower self–esteem.

If that was not enough to deal with, I also have red hair and freckles so I was constantly teased about my appearance. All this contributed to my own lack of self–confidence and a feeling that I was not as good as my peers. These are some experiences that have shaped my self–esteem. I do not portend to make excuses for myself; I only want to illustrate that you can let these experiences either motivate you or de–motivate you, the choice is always yours. I let these life experiences de–motivate until I came to the realization that you should not let others determine your fate or what you can achieve. Years ago I read a passage in a book by: "Louise L. Hay" she said; every morning you can get up and look in the mirror and decide what kind of day you are going to have." The beauty of it is, you can get up the following morning and decide all over again. This is a powerful statement, letting us know we have the power to control our feelings and shape our outlook on life. If you are telling yourself positive things, it will help you build a positive self–esteem.

One is I like to see myself as a very relatable person who many people can talk to. Many of my friends tell me that I am very relatable and a very honest person who says their honest opinion, which I can only agree with. Another word I hear a lot from my friends is that I am a chill, also known as relaxed or easy going. Listening to my friends is another good quality I believe I have. I can always sense when something isn't right. I believe I am also fairly good at judging people's character, so I think in some way that saves me from hanging out with bad people and also knowing which ones are the good ones. Adapting is another thing I am good at because of the many times I have moved. That also helps me get good at making friends all kinds of places, even in different countries. I get told a lot that I have a lot of friends and honestly I'm not totally sure how I have become friends with so many people. But I am not complaining.
