Personal Narrative: The Way I See Myself
I see myself as someone who is expressive. I am an outgoing girl and I find making friends to be a simple task. However, I am one of those people who will not fully open up to you unless I know I am comfortable. I am an open book, as long as the person reading me takes it one page at a time and doesn't jump chapters. I believe that I am this was because of how I grew up. I learned early on that you can't trust everyone you know, and you can't keep toxic people around. Day in and day out at school, I always tried to fit the mold of the stereotypical highschool student. Timid and shy, but more than willing to fit in with everyone else. Finally as a senior I have realized it is more important to be seen as yourself than as a copy of everyone else …show more content…
Now I find myself taking song lyrics and creatively writing them in different designs to clutter my walls. Also, as I got older I would turn to music to keep me entertained. Now at eighteen years old I can proudly thank music makers worldwide for helping me forget my negative emotions and also create some of the best memories I have with people. I guess you could say art has always been a passion of mine, whether it has been my own, or someone elses creations.
I have always known what I have wanted to do with my life, until now. I know in a general sense I want to do Graphic Design, but after college I have not the slightest idea where I want to go from there. As long as I can use my artsitic side to guide me along I'll be happy. if it takes me to magazines, fine. If it takes me to the music industry, by all means I'll gladly oblige. If it lets me use my passions to make a name for myself somehow, I'm satisfied.
Florida State is a place I can see myself flourishing. My mom and aunt both attended college on your campus, so why not me as well? If I am accepted, I want to make the most of my time there. Make new friends, memories, create impacts wherever I can. I also expect to be impacted by your influences as well. The campus life, the people, the traditions. It will all be new to me, but it will all be what helps mold me even

    Personal Narrative: All About Me

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    Personal Narrative: Who Am I?

    My story beings like any other, at the moment I took my first breath on July 30th 1998 in Bilisht, Albania. I was born in a small town in the lower region of Albania where my entire family lived with my grandparents under one household. My parents soon came to the realization that the current living situation was incongruous for a new family, such as ours, to thrive. As the result, my parents chose to apply for the government program granting our family access to move into a completely new society with new laws, regulations, political aspects and that was tens of thousands of miles away. Our family, at that instant, had a struck of luck as my mother’s name was drawn for us to move to the greatest country the United States of America.…

    Personal Narrative: Who Am I

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: Who I Am

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: A Look In The Mirror

    What do you see when you look in the mirror? Are you pleased, or do you immediately come up with an endless list of insecurities? As a child one of my favorite memories was laying around the house with my older sister on rainy days. We would leave the windows open so we could hear the rain coming down on the tin roof over our patio, while watching reruns of our favorite tv show “America's Next Top Model”. I always thought that these women were gorgeous and I would catch myself constantly comparing their looks to my own. I wanted to be just like them until I realized the unrealistic expectations that they had to live up to. A sizeable butt and breasts, but not too large; they have got to be proportional. A skinny waist, impeccable hair, blemish free face although even with clear skin you are expected to cake on makeup because no one is actually pretty without mile long eyelashes, the perfect smoky eye, and exemplary contouring. Society has idolized these things as “beautiful” and shamed the girls that do not meet these standards; however, society should be making everyone feel confident in their bodies. Girls need to know that it is okay not to have an “hourglass figure” so they don’t…

    Personal Narrative: Believing In Myself

    After taking the self-assesment I have discovered a few thing I did not know about myself. I figured out my strengths and weaknesses and have found out I am a successful student! One of my highest scores was in 'Accepting Personal Reponsibility' another was 'Mastering Self-Management'. I am very well organized and it is very unlikely for me to not accept responsability when I am at fault. My lowest score was 'Believing In Myself' which was hard to believe since I always try to push myself past any challenge.…

    Personal Narrative: My Shared Vision

    The Shared Vision I am currently in the process of crafting includes working for an organization that will challenge me to grow both in knowledge and as a person. Peace Corp is one organization that can give me what I want out of my company and organization and how I am going to get that out of my new organization. At this time I am trying to link my personal vision to the organization’s potential in order to help myself align the organization’s purpose with my own purpose (vision): and to prepare the individual groundwork for creating a shared vision. I am at a crossroads on my career path, where I can either I can decide on my personal vision and try and line up my career with that vision or I can let someone else determine what type of work…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Characteristics

    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,…

    Personal Narrative-Self-Analysis

    Sophomore year, I was named the frosh/soph team captain. Raised eyebrows and glares ensued from the gathered lineup, eyeing the lanky four-eyed nerd. Initially, I was highly discouraged by my teammates; they would seldom obey my callouts and instruction during practice, and if they did, they would do so only grudgingly. However, what unsettled me even more was that the majority of the team viewed the sport as a competition, vying to display superior skill and individual merit rather than teamwork. This proved to be a disaster, as our season began with a brief losing streak where our opponents dominated us through seamless teamwork.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Identity

    Growing up with divorced parents from two radically different cultures was at first difficult. My mother’s family was from Peru, while my father’s was from Bangladesh. In my young mind, there was an internal struggle with what my identity actually consisted of. I wasn’t wholly from one culture or the other, and felt like a black sheep when interacting with either side of my family. Due to this, I attempted to keep these cultures partitioned. At the time, they were different portions of my life that simply couldn’t intermix. This mentality in turn led me to foolishly shy away from my joint heritage. I kept myself enclosed in a box, blind to the beauty of my surrounding culture. However, as time progressed, I knew I had to make a change in my understanding.…

    Personal Narrative: Picture Me

    Picture me: a seventeen-year-old Andalusia high-schooler on the free-and-reduced lunch program. Now, picture me slowly going through the cafeteria lunch as I pile food onto my tray with a growling stomach. It’s a new school year, and I am now on reduced meals rather than free ones, but I’m only paying forty cents a day. My plate is growing exceptionally taller with steaming broccoli and chicken nuggets as I add a bit of ketchup to my plate. When I finally get to the end of the line, I type in my lunch code on the obnoxious number pad and start to zoom off to my lunch table. Instead, a sharp, “Come back!” interrupts my pace. Naturally, I’m confused, but I still look at the lunch lady with a smile-- albeit a questioning one. Apologetically, she explains herself, “You need to put your plate down and get some money from the office or something.…

    Personal Narrative: Three Things I Learned About Myself

    Three things I learned about myself this past year is that I am a very caring person, a very dedicated person, and I also know when to ask for help.The first thing I learned was because in the past year my dad has had several medical issues. Prior to this I didn’t think I cared about many people, but after having almost lost the most important person in my life I have started caring about more people as well as being more empathetic. It became apparent this past year when my friend’s aunt was diagnosed with cancer. I was there for him whenever he needed it and was by his side whenever he needed it. The second thing I learned was when I got a C- in a class. This was passing however it was not good enough to my standards, so instead of giving…
