What I Learned About Myself As A Writer
Over this quarter of English, I have learned many things out of the three to four essays that we
have written. I have learned how to write college papers in the appropriate page requirements. Our
teacher noticed after the first two essays we wrote that we suffered from sentence fragments,
sentence run ons, and comma splices. I have learned how to fix those errors in my papers that I
write. A thing I have learned about myself as a writer is that I write very well when a paper is about
my personal life because it is easier to write about yourself than about a topic that you are just
researching for the first time. If the paper is about my life experiences, I would get a good grade on
it. The challenges I have faced is having the effort to keep going when I run out of ideas when writing
a paper. When I get to three and a half pages out of four pages for a paper, I always run out of
ideas and fuel to keep going. Once I get to the third page, I always feel like I am just repeating the
same things I already stated in the previous pages because I have little motivation left. I am
working hard to change that about my papers but it's still a work in progress. As I stated I struggle
with keeping my papers interesting even in the end, that is something that I am trying to improve on
and get better with. I would also like to improve on sounding more intelligent in my papers and
getting better writing skills. Based on these things that I'm trying to get better at, there is this one

What I Learned For Myself As A Writer
I learned that when you write a paper you should know who your audience is and their level of
knowledge, beginner writer tends to generalize their audience and that result from being
misunderstood or misinterpret by their audience so know your audience is essential to be a good
writer, Also I learned that everything in your paragraph must have a connection to each other, first
it is important to have a clear topic sentence follow by 3 good example that prove the point of the
topic sentence and finish by conclusion, a conclusion should is like a summarization of all the things
you have said in your writing.

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
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

Importance Of Writing About Myself
One would most likely assume that writing about yourself is a whole lot easier than writing about
a particular topic or prompt. However, I haven't found that to be true so far in English 1101. Up to
this point, we have written three essays: the first being the Common App essay, the second being
the Educational History Narrative, and the third being the Ad Analysis. By far, the Ad Analysis
was the easiest paper for me to write because I was given specific guidelines for what needed to be
included into my essay and I didn't have to write a creative story about myself. It is a challenge for
me to write about myself because in past school years, I have hardly ever had to do so. I have
noticed that in school, the majority of my teachers have never stressed the importance of self
knowingness and reflection; all they have done is prepared me and my peers for state testing. I
could write a whole other essay based on this realization, but I won't for this assignment. Along
with the Ad Analysis being the easiest essay for me to write, I also think that it was my best work.
I felt that the assignment was engineered more for my age group and so I was engaged with it a lot
more than I was with the other essays. I also felt a lot more confident while writing it and as a result
I had no problem with meeting the essay's criteria and page requirement. My peer editor also found
very few mistakes within the paper which reassured me that it is the best work that I have done for

What I Learned In My Writing Style
I have learned a lot about myself in the last twelve weeks. I discovered so much about my writing.
I learned who I really am once I came out from behind the "Official Style" that I've clung to since
junior high. I have to tell you, it was very difficult for me to let go. I felt lost and uncertain. But in
the process I found myself, my style, and my voice. I learned to let myself come through in my
writing. I have to admit, writing became a lot more fun and interesting.
When I looked back and read my first paper for this class, I laughed. I couldn't believe how trapped
in the O.S. I was. I remember thinking as I wrote it that I was getting away from theme writing, but
the only reasons I thought this were because I used the first person,...show more content...
It was only at the end of this quarter that I began to feel at ease writing in these other styles. I finally
felt comfortable enough to challenge what had been taught to me as "the law" of writing. I wanted
to do something different, to explore other styles and voices. I wanted to show Ms. Molitor that she
doesn't know everything, that I don't have to write in the Official Style to be effective. Sometimes
things are better when they're written differently.
Another thing I know I did when I wrote this first paper was to write to please the teacher. I tried
to sound like I really knew what I was talking about. I also made college out to be one big learning
experience. Well, it is a learning experience, but not in the way I made it seem. I made it sound
like every class I took taught me something new about myself. Well, that holds true if what I
learned was how well I could do on a test if I didn't read the text or studied while watching Days of
Our Lives (by the way, I'm really getting sick of that Lady in White, aren't you?). But I was
sucking up, I know that. I wasn't going to say that some classes are a waste of time and money, and
that the only reason I'm taking them is because I have to. That wouldn't have sounded very good
because that's the reason I took this class. Truthfully, though, this is one class I actually got
something out of (for real, I'm not sucking up here).
I'm still learning things about my writing, and I'm having a

Reflection About Myself
During this Semester I have written six essays, and all of them were a little different. All of them
had a different purpose in writing and required a different skill too. There are things that I did both
good and bad in writing all of these essays. The first essay that I had to write for this class was a
Self–Assessment essay, about my writing career and how the four basics have been involved in my
life. This was a more personal essay about myself, while I have also had to write some essays about
a feeling that I had, and also one about a specific topic. There were several different essays, and
ways that I had to write them. The first essay I wrote, the Self–Assessment, was about the four
basics and how they have been in my life and...show more content...
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
and it was set up. There were things that I could have done better in the paper, and one

Importance Of Writing About Myself
Why is it important to write about me It was an enlightening journey for me that perhaps you
might find interesting so When writing about yourself it is about everything you usually want to
say but can't Verbalize. So to tell my story I have to tell a story through my personal experience
and I have to bring life to my writing. What adjectives would you use to describe yourself? Some
Adjectives I would use to describe myself are athletic, determined, spirited and I am open–minded
and kind–hearted, loyal and committed, Trustworthy, reliable and modest. Why do you want people
to know about you? – I want people to know about me because just because what you've heard or
gossiped about that particular person does not mean you know their whole story and the kind of
person they actually are but Anyone body story change someone life . What would writing about
yourself do for you? Writing about myself will show allow me to express self more and be
confidant where I came from. There is nothing wrong being adopted and honestly it's makes me
who I am. I love the fact that I can tell people my version of how my Journey began and maybe one
day it will influence people who are afraid of telling other people that they were adopted. example –

glimpses of a person. Writing an autobiography allows people to see the version of you that you

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

Writing About Yourself William Zinsser Analysis
In the reading, "Writing About Yourself: The Memoir" by William Zinsser, the author uses
organization, examples, and direct advice to develop the purpose and message of the selection. The
message of this piece is that writing about oneself and delving into what has made the author who
they are gives the writing individuality and distinction. Like the message, the purpose is to
encourage writers to write about themselves and what has shaped them without hesitation. To begin
with, the author uses a pattern of organization where he introduces an excerpt of a memoir by stating
a quality that makes this memoir exemplary. After the excerpt, he will further comment on what
makes this memoir memorable for him. For example, the author states, "One secret of the art [the
memoir] is detail... a sound or smell–as long as it played a...show more content...
This organization develops the message because using senses gives the writing individuality because
it is something only the writer has experienced. Also, using senses makes the writing distinctive
because it can bring the reader into what the writer experienced as they can imagine what the writer
saw or smelt. Similar to that, this type of organization contributes to the purpose because showing
particular qualities that make a memoir notable gives the reader ideas of how they can use these
techniques in their own memoir to make impressive. More specific than organization, the author's
use of examples contribute in conveying the purpose and message of the piece. For instance, the
author uses a passage called, "Finding A Voice" by Maxine Kingston and alludes to the fact that this
memoir is distinctive because it puts the reader in the writer's shoes and makes them sympathetic to
the troubles of the

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

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

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

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

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

Over the course, I have learned that all people are unique and have their own personal traits and

I know and I have been told that I am a kind and sympathetic person, because I love to help people

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.

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

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

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

identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am.
My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I
have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which
makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a
wonderful best friend. Before anything, I am a big sister to...show more content...
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
am still, very spoiled. I always had everything that I ever wanted. And

Write About Yourself Essay

  • 1. What I Learned About Myself As A Writer Over this quarter of English, I have learned many things out of the three to four essays that we have written. I have learned how to write college papers in the appropriate page requirements. Our teacher noticed after the first two essays we wrote that we suffered from sentence fragments, sentence run ons, and comma splices. I have learned how to fix those errors in my papers that I write. A thing I have learned about myself as a writer is that I write very well when a paper is about my personal life because it is easier to write about yourself than about a topic that you are just researching for the first time. If the paper is about my life experiences, I would get a good grade on it. The challenges I have faced is having the effort to keep going when I run out of ideas when writing a paper. When I get to three and a half pages out of four pages for a paper, I always run out of ideas and fuel to keep going. Once I get to the third page, I always feel like I am just repeating the same things I already stated in the previous pages because I have little motivation left. I am working hard to change that about my papers but it's still a work in progress. As I stated I struggle with keeping my papers interesting even in the end, that is something that I am trying to improve on and get better with. I would also like to improve on sounding more intelligent in my papers and getting better writing skills. Based on these things that I'm trying to get better at, there is this one Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. What I Learned For Myself As A Writer I learned that when you write a paper you should know who your audience is and their level of knowledge, beginner writer tends to generalize their audience and that result from being misunderstood or misinterpret by their audience so know your audience is essential to be a good writer, Also I learned that everything in your paragraph must have a connection to each other, first it is important to have a clear topic sentence follow by 3 good example that prove the point of the topic sentence and finish by conclusion, a conclusion should is like a summarization of all the things you have said in your writing. What I learned for myself as a writer when I don't know where to begin and what to say, by learning the steps and the technique I learned Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. 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 Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. 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.

  • 5. Importance Of Writing About Myself One would most likely assume that writing about yourself is a whole lot easier than writing about a particular topic or prompt. However, I haven't found that to be true so far in English 1101. Up to this point, we have written three essays: the first being the Common App essay, the second being the Educational History Narrative, and the third being the Ad Analysis. By far, the Ad Analysis was the easiest paper for me to write because I was given specific guidelines for what needed to be included into my essay and I didn't have to write a creative story about myself. It is a challenge for me to write about myself because in past school years, I have hardly ever had to do so. I have noticed that in school, the majority of my teachers have never stressed the importance of self knowingness and reflection; all they have done is prepared me and my peers for state testing. I could write a whole other essay based on this realization, but I won't for this assignment. Along with the Ad Analysis being the easiest essay for me to write, I also think that it was my best work. I felt that the assignment was engineered more for my age group and so I was engaged with it a lot more than I was with the other essays. I also felt a lot more confident while writing it and as a result I had no problem with meeting the essay's criteria and page requirement. My peer editor also found very few mistakes within the paper which reassured me that it is the best work that I have done for the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. What I Learned In My Writing Style I have learned a lot about myself in the last twelve weeks. I discovered so much about my writing. I learned who I really am once I came out from behind the "Official Style" that I've clung to since junior high. I have to tell you, it was very difficult for me to let go. I felt lost and uncertain. But in the process I found myself, my style, and my voice. I learned to let myself come through in my writing. I have to admit, writing became a lot more fun and interesting. When I looked back and read my first paper for this class, I laughed. I couldn't believe how trapped in the O.S. I was. I remember thinking as I wrote it that I was getting away from theme writing, but the only reasons I thought this were because I used the first person,...show more content... It was only at the end of this quarter that I began to feel at ease writing in these other styles. I finally felt comfortable enough to challenge what had been taught to me as "the law" of writing. I wanted to do something different, to explore other styles and voices. I wanted to show Ms. Molitor that she doesn't know everything, that I don't have to write in the Official Style to be effective. Sometimes things are better when they're written differently. Another thing I know I did when I wrote this first paper was to write to please the teacher. I tried to sound like I really knew what I was talking about. I also made college out to be one big learning experience. Well, it is a learning experience, but not in the way I made it seem. I made it sound like every class I took taught me something new about myself. Well, that holds true if what I learned was how well I could do on a test if I didn't read the text or studied while watching Days of Our Lives (by the way, I'm really getting sick of that Lady in White, aren't you?). But I was sucking up, I know that. I wasn't going to say that some classes are a waste of time and money, and that the only reason I'm taking them is because I have to. That wouldn't have sounded very good because that's the reason I took this class. Truthfully, though, this is one class I actually got something out of (for real, I'm not sucking up here). I'm still learning things about my writing, and I'm having a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Reflection About Myself During this Semester I have written six essays, and all of them were a little different. All of them had a different purpose in writing and required a different skill too. There are things that I did both good and bad in writing all of these essays. The first essay that I had to write for this class was a Self–Assessment essay, about my writing career and how the four basics have been involved in my life. This was a more personal essay about myself, while I have also had to write some essays about a feeling that I had, and also one about a specific topic. There were several different essays, and ways that I had to write them. The first essay I wrote, the Self–Assessment, was about the four basics and how they have been in my life and...show more content... 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 and it was set up. There were things that I could have done better in the paper, and one Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Importance Of Writing About Myself Why is it important to write about me It was an enlightening journey for me that perhaps you might find interesting so When writing about yourself it is about everything you usually want to say but can't Verbalize. So to tell my story I have to tell a story through my personal experience and I have to bring life to my writing. What adjectives would you use to describe yourself? Some Adjectives I would use to describe myself are athletic, determined, spirited and I am open–minded and kind–hearted, loyal and committed, Trustworthy, reliable and modest. Why do you want people to know about you? – I want people to know about me because just because what you've heard or gossiped about that particular person does not mean you know their whole story and the kind of person they actually are but Anyone body story change someone life . What would writing about yourself do for you? Writing about myself will show allow me to express self more and be confidant where I came from. There is nothing wrong being adopted and honestly it's makes me who I am. I love the fact that I can tell people my version of how my Journey began and maybe one day it will influence people who are afraid of telling other people that they were adopted. example – Writing about myself shows people who I really am. Most of the time, people only get to see glimpses of a person. Writing an autobiography allows people to see the version of you that you want the world to see.

  • 9. 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
  • 10. Writing About Yourself William Zinsser Analysis In the reading, "Writing About Yourself: The Memoir" by William Zinsser, the author uses organization, examples, and direct advice to develop the purpose and message of the selection. The message of this piece is that writing about oneself and delving into what has made the author who they are gives the writing individuality and distinction. Like the message, the purpose is to encourage writers to write about themselves and what has shaped them without hesitation. To begin with, the author uses a pattern of organization where he introduces an excerpt of a memoir by stating a quality that makes this memoir exemplary. After the excerpt, he will further comment on what makes this memoir memorable for him. For example, the author states, "One secret of the art [the memoir] is detail... a sound or smell–as long as it played a...show more content... This organization develops the message because using senses gives the writing individuality because it is something only the writer has experienced. Also, using senses makes the writing distinctive because it can bring the reader into what the writer experienced as they can imagine what the writer saw or smelt. Similar to that, this type of organization contributes to the purpose because showing particular qualities that make a memoir notable gives the reader ideas of how they can use these techniques in their own memoir to make impressive. More specific than organization, the author's use of examples contribute in conveying the purpose and message of the piece. For instance, the author uses a passage called, "Finding A Voice" by Maxine Kingston and alludes to the fact that this memoir is distinctive because it puts the reader in the writer's shoes and makes them sympathetic to the troubles of the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. 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.

  • 12. 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
  • 13. 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
  • 14. 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 Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. 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 flask and test tubes. I also...show more content... 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 mostly artistic, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. 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, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Essay On What You Know About Yourself What You Know About Yourself Some students have an identity, an interest, or talent that defines them in an essential way. If you are one of these students, then tell us about yourself. Growing up I was a kid that loved to try out all kinds of things ( and still do ), that I knew nothing about, though some people thought I was wired because of it. Such as wanting to play field sports, art, skating, ice skating, hockey at one point, music, and the list goes on because the more I learn about these activities I never knew about, the more I wanted to try and see if I have a talent for it or not. Though my siblings would make fun of me saying that my only talent was reading, sleeping, and being weird, but I eventually provide them wrong when I...show more content...

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.

Why this? Because I need to use my agency or in other word to act by myself. I like to add the following comment by Elder Bednar: "Are you and I agents who act and seek learning by faith, or are we waiting to be taught and acted upon? Are the children, youth, and adults we serve acting and seeking to learn by faith, or are they waiting to be taught and acted upon? Are you and I encouraging and helping those we serve to seek learning by faith? We are all to be anxiously engaged in asking, seeking, and knocking (see 3 Nephi 14:7)." That's why I like this program at every step invites me to use my agency and to act as agent.

Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define.

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 am still, very spoiled. I always had everything that I ever wanted. And Get more content on HelpWriting.net
