What makes me the person I am you ask? My family and ministers are the people who have helped me become the person I am today. Without ministers or more specifically my parents I would not be where I am today. One question people always ask is “How do you manage to do it? Or “How do you just let go of the past like that and move on so easy” My answer simply is “I just do.” Life is not always an easy ride, it comes with a lot of failure, successes and even lessons that are to be learned. During my nineteen years of life my parents have taught me how to care, how to love and most importantly how to be a godly woman. A woman who helps other people in need, but also a woman who has daily struggles just like everyone else. The real question is how did I become the woman I am today? Some things that have helped shape me along the way would be letting go of the past, knowing my worth, and most importantly prayer. …show more content…
I have always grown up in a Pentecostal church since I born so I knew roughly how everything worked. My parents are very involved in church from being youth pastors to church board members so I grew up beyond blessed. Every year, they would send me to youth camp along with other teens in our church, in which I absolutely loved to go. I learned so much during the weeks I was there and it really taught me how I wanted to live for Christ and how I wanted others to see who I really was. While it was still hard for me to bear with the fact that I knew I had a calling on my life, but I didn’t know when, where, why and how it would all conspire and happen at that moment. But, a year ago youth camp changed everything for
The experience of the APEC Youth Science festival was incredible. It has had an enormous impact on me in many ways, changing the way I look at the world and connecting me with people and events far beyond my formerly limited experience. I am extremely glad to have had this opportunity. It was a wonderful experience on multiple levels. It challenged me and expanded me intellectually and socially. I feel that this experience has had an immense impact on me.
I’m tired of looking at the next person and wishing I was in their position. I’m tired of making excuses and pitying myself while letting opportunities slip away. From this moment onward, I am throwing away self doubt in order to take the coming steps in my life at Rutgers University. A Rutgers degree would not only mean a top tier education from one of the best schools in the world, more importantly, it would give me stability and a platform to go after my dreams. Through adversity and personal struggle after graduating high school in 2015, I have made an effort to never take opportunity lightly again. As a transfer student, It would be a humbling experience to learn new concepts and ideas while connecting with the diverse student
Something else I can credit with making me the person I am today, is my family. My family, especially my mom has been a very important part of my life. My family has stuck with me through the bad, but they have also been there to help me celebrate the good. Occurrences in my family also have made me who I am today, and have partially shaped the path that I am to follow.
Throughout life, there are different interests that you discover and become passionate about. Many commit themselves to some sort of club or activity, especially through middle school and high school. Some of these activities or clubs, you may be participate in for the rest of your life or it could be a temporary thing. It shapes you as a person you are though without even realizing it, because it plays a huge factor in the people you hang out with and the things you enjoy doing. Sometimes people join clubs or find something to do that will one way or another end up helping others; like an act of service, but other times people want to just be apart of something and have something to do in their spare time.
As a child growing up, I experienced many things that influenced how I developed and
When I grow up I want to help, children, families, marriages, anyone and everyone that I possible can. No one deserves to be trapped and go through the system for years on end, although I am glad that I was never in the system my family was thrown into that life for about six months. The only reason… one family mentally could not take care of their children, this is why I know its my job to help. The main experience that I have gone through that truly showed me what I wanted to due happened right before I became a freshman in high school. The entire summer before I started school, my sister was having serious problems with CPS, and because of this there were a major part of my life. Every time they would go and visit her house me and my parents
In addition to being influenced by church and religion, I have also been influenced by my family. My parents have always been there for me and supported me in all I do. They encourage me in my schoolwork as well as my extra-curricular activities. They attend all my concerts and things I participate in including church activities. My grandparents have also influenced me in what I am today. My grandfather is a minister and has always encouraged me to do well and have high morals. They have always done special things such as taking me on trips to show me how much they love me. My sister has also helped me be the person I am today. She has been a role model to me in many things. She has encouraged me to do well in school because she excelled and was valedictorian of her class. She also has an outgoing personality and has been a role model socially.
What made me into the person I am today? I have asked myself this question many times before, yet it all leads back to the same concept. In fact, I came to the conclusion that it is simply a summarization of our developing years. For example, some of our biggest influences, especially in those years, are our parents and friends. Our parents help shape us into the people we are today and, in most cases, we share the same values as them. In addition, our friends are also part of the reason we are who we are. They are the first group of people we interact with and whether we mean to or not, we try to imitate them as much as we can. As a result, the three values of my personal culture that make me into who I am are respect, work ethic, and joy.
As each day goes by, I see myself and life a little differently than the day before. I'm constantly learning what I can from life experiences and these experiences continue to mold and shape me. I am not the same person as I was yesterday and I will be a more enlightened version of myself tomorrow. I do not think there a correct way to "grow up" because we all have a different paths and challenges but I feel everyone wants to be happy. I've learned the only way to be happy is to live authentically and be true to yourself throughout the different struggles you encounter in life. Without a doubt I know who I am today because I've been encouraged to follow my passions and I've learned that with dedication, hard work and discipline I can
I guess that it all started by having a father in a senior role at work since my earliest memories. Of course it helped wanting to be just like him since I was a little boy. Who wouldn’t want to be an officer in the police force fighting crime and speeding up and down with screaming sirens all day long? At least that was my idea of what my dad did every day of his life, but actually he was my father, friend and mentor. There were numerous significant people in my life, but all credit should go to my parents which laid my foundation and provided me with ample opportunities. My family, friends and teachers all played different roles in my early years, which allowed me to develop into the father, husband and leader that I am today. American historian Arthur M. Schlesinger said “Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response”. Yes, my life story has not always been a fairytale and my experiences were not always pretty, but it developed me in a way that I could reframe my negative experiences in a positive light. It taught how to be accountable for my mistakes and most of all how to stand up from failure and move
As I look back on my life, I can truly say that I am grateful for the opportunity to start again. My family flied our war and politically torn country of Eritrea four years ago, seeking shelter here. Through my parent's struggles to build a better life for all of us, I have gained a deep appreciation for hard work and dedication which I applied to my education to achieve my dreams.
Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
Today, I’m a so much better person than I was the day before. I used to worry about who I will be tomorrow or focus on what I should be tomorrow instead of the person I am today. Like the bible states “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own”(Matthew 6:34). The person you will be tomorrow will be better than the person you are today, and the person you are today should be better than the person you were yesterday. You should not live worrying about the future but learn from the past.
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 values. I greatly value freedom of thought, friends and family and with everything that is happening, I appreciate freedom even more. The spiritual self is all about my beliefs, values, religion and my life philosophies. By satisfying the needs of all three characters, the result can be very rewarding towards my wellness, which is the ability to feel good about others and myself.
Certain events in my life have molded me to be the person I am today, and define what is unique about me. As a young child I had no respect for others, and could never fully grasp the concept of how people besides myself have feelings, and emotions that matter. I, of course changed this major flaw of mine over time, and matured in to the man I am today, but it was a long road getting here. I wasn’t a sadist, or a psychopath, I just never understood the realm of emotions everyone feels.
