There are many things that have shaped me into the person I am today, but the main ones that I’ll be talking about are the environment in which I was raised, my family, my home, and my neighborhood. I grew up in a relatively safe environment, and by that I mean that I would go outside almost every day and I would sometimes get hurt while playing things that I enjoyed with friends. My family has always been there for me. Through thick and thin they have always been there for me, showing me guidance in the world. I always cherished the life lessons my parents taught me while growing up. I also learned from other relatives like my cousins, my brother, my aunts and uncles, and even my grandparents. My home has always been my safe haven. I remember

  • Words That Have Shaped Me

    1392 Words  | 3 Pages

    Often I sit at the computer, or with a pen and paper, and I think about what I should write. I reflect on my experiences with life, or with my feelings and emotions. If the subject that I write about is coming from my heart, I could write forever, opposed to something that I do not have interest in like the mating habits of fireflies. I don’t care about how, when, and much less why they procreate. I would always dread having to write a paper for my English class, and it was not until I discovered my own love for poetry that I began to enjoy writing. It was my junior English teacher in San Diego, Howard Estes. He allowed me to open my mind to not only the academic perspective of literature, but also to my own personal connection to this confusing written language. This newfound passion gave me a sort of sixth sense. When I look at something, I not only think about what it means to me, but what it means to the world on a larger scale as opposed to taking everything at face value. Through my own writings, and the writings of others, I have been shaped as a unique individual.

My parents never punished me for it but would blame each other for horrible parenting skills; at the time I did not understand their fights, but instead was curious about why they would fight.
