As every person is a unique individual so are their experiences. Many people come from near and far only to be set apart by what unique experiences they have collected. There are many factors that go into the formation of individualism and uniqueness of people. These factors help create the diversity amongst people in society today. Some components that help people achieve variety amongst each other includes where they come from, how they spend their time, and what places they have seen. These components help individuals better understand one’s self, helping to unfold future goals and desires. Since these factors help mold people into who they are, I will share these experiences about myself.
I am eighteen years old and was born and raised in Oklahoma. From birth up until the age eight, I lived in Calumet, Oklahoma on the countryside of the Canadian River. I grew up as a barefoot child following in my brother who is one year elder’s footsteps. We had no close neighbors and enjoyed the privacy outdoors. At age eight, I moved to Piedmont, Oklahoma. Although this is a small town, it was still an adjustment moving from the countryside to a neighborhood. I graduated from Piedmont High School in 2016 after attending Piedmont Schools for …show more content…

    "If we recognize our talents, use them appropriately, and choose a field that uses those talents, we will rise to the top of our field," Dr. Ben Carson. If accepted into Cornell University, I would pursue a major in Biological Sciences. Aside from the impact of this major on our societal and collective evolution, I am inspired by the utility of the discipline. It is through the knowledge and application of biological sciences that we can achieve what was previously only dreamed of. Fascinated with biological science; fixated with medical mysteries, revolutionary medical discoveries, and the urge to make sense of the unknown is why I am pursuing this field of study. The application of biological sciences can be used to meet an objective or solve a problem; this and my innate sense of empathy towards the many adversities and wonders of life, amplifies my yearning to help others through the use of medicine.

    It was the fall of 2010 and little did I know that my world was about to change drastically. We had moved back to Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2008 after living in Mexico, and I was starting to enjoy my life in the dairy state. My 6th Grade classes had just started at Bullen Middle School. It was right at this time when my world seemingly got flipped upside down. My parents had a family meeting and informed my siblings and me that we were moving to a small Iowa town called Orange City. I had feelings of nervousness, excitement, and sadness all mixed together.

    Today, we live on earth holding approximately seven million people. Taking a closer look at the number of people we begin to take notice that not one person is identical to the other. What is it that makes us, as individuals, different from the rest of society? “We come into this little world with our own little nature, our own pattern of behavior, and our own natural reaction to people” (Littauer and Sweet 18). Not only do our features on the outside tell us apart from one another but our personalities also set us aside from others. Personality defends us as our own person. Personality is an individual’s process of thinking, feeling, and taking action toward something. Research helps to define the discovering, structuring, and the understanding

  • Perspectives on People's Personal Interpretations of Themselves

    1152 Words  | 3 Pages

    The way that people perceive themselves and the environment around them is a key factor regarding their development and has incredible control over their personality and behaviors. Every individual develops different ways of interpreting their environment and social-cognitive theory calls these interpretations schemas, which can help understand the environment and form self-perceptions. Once self-perceptions are formed self-verification theory states that people will work to keep their self-perceptions consistent and predictable. Self-perception is a key factor in personality because it can affect people’s beliefs about themselves, their ability to set proper goals, and having a healthy evaluative standard. A study was done that shows how the brain of depressed individuals functions differently wen thinking about oneself than that of non-depressed individuals. Research has proven that individuals who have very negative self-schemas, often individuals who are depressed, will actively seek information that confirms their negative self-perception. Although it is unhealthy to receive negative feedback, it can also be unhealthy to receive information that contradicts someone’s current self-perception. The information that individuals interpret about themselves is what forms self-perception and that perception will influence both their personality and behaviors.

  • Personal Identity And Personality

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality” John Perry conveys conversations between a philosopher and her two friends a few nights before she dies. We then come to how the dying philosopher is trying to have everyone convince her that she will survive even after her body dies. In this John Perry claims that there are three ways of deliberating personal identity: bodily identity, psychological continuity and immaterial soul. The essay then describes the different types of identity and how they can use them to prove to the perishing philosopher that she can still remain alive. I will argue that the only way we can distinguish personal identity is through psychological continuity and how we can determine a person based on their memories and experiences. From this we can go into discussion about some terms that will be used throughout this paper.

  • Personal Identity: Who Are You?

    1397 Words  | 3 Pages

    Identity, an ambiguous idea, plays an important part in today’s world. To me identity can be defined as who a person is or what differentiates one person from another. Identity would be a person’s name, age, height, ethnicity, personality, and more. A quote by Anne Sexton states “It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was”(Anne Sexton). This quote helps me define identity because I believe it is saying that identity is what people are remembered by. When some people think of identity, words such as, uniqueness, distinctiveness, or individuality may come to mind. However, I disagree with this because when I think of identity I think of mimicry, self-consciousness, or opinions.

  • My Identity And Culture

    1081 Words  | 3 Pages

    This is a journey of self-discovery to understand the fundamental meaning of what makes me, me? All of us have a unique identity and culture. An Identity are a sets of social expectations related to ourselves and others that are grounded in the interplay between similarities and differences and pertain to the personal, relational, and communal aspects of lives (Hall, 102). In other words, it is our identity that makes us who we are. On the other hand, Culture is defined as a historically shared system of symbolic resources through which we make our world meaningful (Hall, 4). Culture is how we as individuals make sense of the world. So what is Cultural Identity? Cultural Identity allows us as individuals to feel a sense of belonging to a particular

  • My Personal Identity

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    A person’s identity is shaped by many different aspects. Family, culture, friends, personal interests and surrounding environments are all factors that tend to help shape a person’s identity. Some factors may have more of an influence than others and some may not have any influence at all. As a person grows up in a family, they are influenced by many aspects of their life. Family and culture may influence a person’s sense of responsibilities, ethics and morals, tastes in music, humor and sports, and many other aspects of life. Friends and surrounding environments may influence a person’s taste in clothing, music, speech, and social activities. Personal interests are what truly set individuals apart. An individual is not a puppet on the string of their puppet-master, nor a chess piece on their master’s game board, individuals choose their own paths in life. They accomplish, or strive to accomplish, goals that they have set for themselves throughout their lifetime. Individuals are different from any other individual in the world because they live their own life rather than following a crowd of puppets. A person’s identity is defined by what shaped it in the first place, why they chose to be who they are, and what makes them different from everybody else in the world. I feel that I have developed most of my identity from my own dreams, fantasies, friends, and idols.

I could impact thousands or millions of lives by increasing the worlds food supply or by using my knowledge of plants to help develop new vaccines or medicines.

  • Should We Be Judged By The Way We Live

    “We, as human beings,must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” Barbara Jordan. People shouldn’t be judged by the way they are or the way they act. In this essay I will analyze that just because people are different from you doesn’t you treat them different. Everyone has their own personality that’s what makes everyone unique because we’re all different. Like in the story “Texas v. Majority Opinion” people fought to keep the American flag but others wanted the flag burned. People have the right to speak their minds and fight for what they believe in to protect the things they cherish most. Like in the short story by Etgar Keret “What of This Goldfish Would You Wish?” some people like things that other people don’t and some people like to stay away from other people because they don’t want to be around all the drama or to get judged by other people.

  • My Idea of the Self

    515 Words  | 2 Pages

    My idea of the self is a combination of some ideas from Plato, Immanuel Kant, and from my own interpretations. Plato believed that the self was constructed of three parts: reason, physical appetite, and spirit/passion. According to Plato, reason is the part of us that wishes to seek truth and knowledge; Physical appetite is our basic desires such as sex, hunger and thirst; Spirit is the part of us that allows us to have a temper or to experience emotions such as love and empathy. He also believed that the soul was immortal. Immanuel Kant believed that the self is “the transcendental activity that synthesizes the contents of the consciousness into an intelligible whole.” While I don’t completely take either of their perspectives, I do agree with some aspects of each. I do not believe the soul is immortal.

  • Environmental Studies

    655 Words  | 2 Pages

    Environmental studies is a paramount field to focus on for both the present day and the future. This field of studies pertains to all people, animals, plants, and biomes around the world. Environmental Studying is important because it is only by understands the environmental processes that we can begin to take the steps necessary to correct the on-going damage that is occurring, and ultimately protect and sustain life on the planet. Unless steps are taken to try and abate and control environmental problems, which are often human-generated or exacerbated, then the environmental that we live in will continue to deteriorate. There is no life without protecting the source that sustains us. Even though I have only been alive for seventeen years, it has been long enough to see many negative environmental changes. Since I was born that population has grown by over one billion people causing deforestation, loss of wildlife, increased pollution to both air and water, and even superbugs. However, I have also been able to see extremely positive results such as an increase in the research and implementation of renewable resources. The reason I am so motivated to study environmental science is because I know that change is possible. Those who study environmental science and study have the ability to help reduce, and possible reserve, some of the damage that has been done to the environment while at the same time, helping to advance the well-being of our fellow humans.
