Personal Narrative: My Most Influential Role Model
All my life I have looked up to strong leaders. These people included family members, friends, celebrities, leaders in my church, and other various characters in my life. Now I strive to be a leader that others can look up to. I want people to know they can trust me to give them the best advice that I have. I want to direct people towards
God in all aspects of life. My personal faith and beliefs will contribute to Liberty’s mission to develop Christ centered leaders by being there for others in their growth towards Christ, and to step up as a leader myself when it is needed.
My most influential role model would be my father. He has raised me to trust
God with everything in my life. Even when life seems to be going in a negative

    Who am I? That has always been an essential question for as long as I can remember. I never really understood why we had to answer that question along the way, but I’m now a senior at SJPII and I still have no idea who I am. It really bothers me that for 16 years I still haven’t figured out who I am. Constantly going from class to class and making new friends I still can’t pin point who the “real” me is.…

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. A question such as “who am I”? Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex person who thinks the world is against me, nor am I overly sophisticated “know-it-all” who doesn't take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can't say that I am like every other person because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing towards a brighter future.…

    In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…

    My two core values are Family and Faith. My top priorities in life are God and my family. It wasn't hard for me to choose my top two core values because I know that with God and my family I am able to achieve the other things. My family were the first people to provide me with love, happiness, friendship, and wisdom. They have been here for me every step of the way and as I am getting older, everything I strive to be and to do is ultimately to help them and make them proud. Faith is very important to me and that is something that my family has taught and instilled in me. Everything I do is for the approval of God. I have learned that hat God has for me is for me. Therefore, I am able to achieve success, peace, status, and wealth if that is…

    My whole life I have been a leader, the rule maker, the boss, a take charge and a "get stuff done" type of person. These qualities I attribute to being the oldest sibling, raised by a strong mother, and a stepfather determined to raise another man’s child as best he could. I thrive in situations where I can have control and can help guide a team or myself to the best possible outcome. I apply these characteristics to nearly every aspect of my life, sometimes to a fault. After dropping out of college eight years previously, to follow my dreams of being a makeup artist, I woke up one day and decided my life need a change. Not completing school had always weighed on me over the years like an unfinished task needing to be done. So, why now, what changed? My outlook on life shifted after meeting a special little boy named Jackson.…

    My actions are always a direct showcase of my personal characteristics. A few that are particularly important are having patience, being non-judgmental, and thinking creatively. I learned a majority of my patience through my position as a research position. Research does not have immediate results; a good experiment takes time. My seemingly menial tasks, such as entering data, eventually contributed to the final product. I learned to be non-judgmental in my time shadowing an obstetrician, where I interacted with patients with so many stories. To judge them would cause a disservice, and potentially harm them. Finally, I learned to think creatively during my time at the Guild for Human Services. Each student was unique in his or her problems,…

    Life can be a treacherous journey that even the toughest people have trouble making it through. No one, not even the greatest superheros can get through it alone. We all need some sort of mentor. Someone like Mr. Miyagi was to Karate Kid and Athena was to Odysseus. I am no different, a mentor’s job is to lead and guide you through whatever life throws your way. My mentor has done that and much more. Normally it seems most mentors either come from different ethnicities or cultural backgrounds but, not in this case. Me and my mentor share a ton of the same characteristics and traits. Although he is older and much more wiser, we are still close enough in age to experience and enjoy some of the same cultural activities. One of them being checking…

    First year teachers come with lots of worries and concerns to the new working environment. No matter how well trained them or what degrees they obtained. Being in the practical/real experience is a complete different scenario. They need a kind extended hand to take them through this first year with clear, easy steps and guide them through their job requirements, until they feel confident enough and are off on "their own". Our role as mentors and leaders is to provide that guidance and support with an open heart and lots of patience to the different areas of need. We have to be committed to doing that and giving constructive feedback that will help this fresh teacher learn and grow. We have to be very patient again and accept that this new teacher lacks experience and hold his/her hand through this journey. We have to model classroom strategies and how planning is done over and over again till they grasp it and…

    My Role Model

    My role model would have to be my dad. I chose him because we are a lot alike and have very similar personalities and work ethics. You see my daddy grew up in a poor family, headed by his dad most of the time. My granny—my dad’s mother didn’t have a college education, I don’t even know if she graduated high school to be quite honest, so she usually stayed home to be a house wife . So as you can guess being from a poor family my dad didn’t get the chance to go to college on his father expense but he went college, through work sponsorship . He began working at the age of 10 with my grandfather in a meat shop. My dad saved all the money he made and bought his first car at the age of 18, regardless it was a very nice car, it was a fast car, but yet it ran and that was good enough for my dad at the age of 18. When my dad graduated high school at the age of 18 he began working for a company in the airport and he married my mother when he was 29 and she was 24, five years later they had my sister and my other sister, not long before they had me. My dad decided he wanted to be an engineer. My dad has built his own house by his bare hands and about anything else you can think of—he’s very talented.…

    The person who I truly believe is my role model would be my mother. A fifty two year old lady. Who is a strong woman I wouldn’t be able to compare her with any other. I will be doing an interview to my mother to find out information I have always wondered. My mother has always been a hard working woman without the need of help of anybody her and my father have successfully raised six children in a great way. I admire my mother more because she is the strongest and stricter with her children while my father was the most outgoing and easy on the attitude. Our interview went well and we cleared out most things I never knew why she did them.…
