Fitness Autobiography Infancy/ Early childhood: As a child I was always healthy and extremely active, be it running around the house or playing with toys, it seemed like I was always busy.

At this point in time I had not started school or working but spent most of my days with my grandparents or learning from watching television. As a child I had no comprehension of religion but I had no worries as a child so I guess you could say I was “at peace”. I always had friends no matter what age I was at i'm a strong people person and you could tell even at one year old. 2-8 years old: As a toddler my physical health was at its peak, I swam, played baseball, and played soccer.

    Before my years in high school, I rarely put time and effort into studying and constantly associated with my friends at school; that is until I entered high school. The different competitive atmosphere at high school caused me to suddenly prioritize my studies ahead of everything else and my ambition became greater than ever. I began to interact less with my old friends and become less sociable with those around me. My parents also began to notice this drastic change and encouraged me to once in a while contact my old friends. During the beginning, I contacted my friends about two or three times a week, but the phone calls began to gradually diminish. I began to abandon my previous cheerful, ebullient nature in order to conform to the competitive, tense study environment at high school. As long as I successfully accomplished my goals and was accepted by others, I was willing to alter myself in order to assimilate into the mainstream environment. Through my hard work and perseverance, I was able to reach my goal and receive the acknowledgement of others; however, despite fulfilling all my ambitions, I did not feel any joy or satisfaction within myself. Even though I successfully accomplished my objectives in school, I realized that in return I completely sacrificed my social life. Despite being accepted by others, I began to feel a sense of loneliness and longed to

  • Entry Essay for LSUHSC School of Nursing

    When I graduated high school, I really gave a lot of thought about what I wanted to do with my future and who I wanted to be. During this time, I read that psychologist often suggest people revisit the activities they enjoyed as a child. They claim that children spend their time participating in activities that bring them the greatest delight. Children do not think about salaries and retirement plans, they simply do what makes them happiest. This made me think back to how I spent my childhood and what I did in those years solely for the sake of it bringing me joy. That is when I realized that care giving and nurturing has been a part of my happiness since I was a child. Whenever a family member or friend was injured or ill, I would be the first in line to administer a Band-Aid or bring them soup in bed. When I was blessed enough to have everyone in my life be in good health, I would find an outlet for care giving in my stuffed animals. I would come up with fictional illness and ailments and find a way to care for them; whether it was constructing a tourniquet out of my hair ribbons, a cast out of duct tape or an oxygen mask out of sand which bags. When I allowed my imagination to run wild, I always found my greatest joy in nurturing. As I grew older I gave up my imaginary patients, but I never lost the happiness I felt when caring for another person.

I always chose to comfort and cocoon Peanut whenever she was upset, crying, or being stubborn, and I never let anyone else take care of her. Because of my decisions, Peanut rarely trusted herself. This assumes that she did not resolve the trust vs. mistrust conflict successfully. However, I was not treated the same way. My mother did not shield me from the world, which resulted in me trusting my surroundings, and myself. From 1-3 years old, Peanut believed it was not okay to be herself.

    My early life has led me to where I am today in many different ways. When I was four years old, I was diagnosed with high myopia, an eye condition that causes severe nearsightedness. Three years after my diagnosis, my hospital referenced me to be treated abroad, since my condition was proven to be congenital. Unfortunately, my parents could not afford the cost, so they tried to get me a sponsor by entering me into a non-for-profit German Church School. In this school, I stayed back one year because even though I had finished first grade they only accepted students beginning in the first grade.

    It is obvious that most parents around the globe like their children to be educated. In today’s world, education means higher living standards due to the globalization of industry and competence. My parents are an example for such ambition of pushing children into the intimacy of studying to guarantee a sustainable future. Even thought my family lives in one of the highly educated districts in Baghdad, most parents in this district believe that education is a subjective matter. Therefore, the only goal of students in my district is to attain a minimum passing grade because nobody asks them more than that, even their teachers. In other words, students consider school as a community to have fun instead of earning knowledge. The main reason for such behavior is due to the political situation of Iraq before 2003. At that time, even though a person may hold a degree in engineering, he would work for the government with little salary that is not enough for living. Therefore, educated people at that time have no value for education; they simply know that college education is not enough to build a successful carrier. They feel
