Essay Introducing Yourself

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...show more content...

Society has had a limited impact on my lifestyle, mostly because I despise trends. The largest trends I despise are rap and hip–hop and the clothing, attitudes, and type of speech that that type of 'music' is breeding. I chose to steer away from that crowd, but it may also be because I live my life off of adrenaline. My high on life is the energy I have when I get my blood pumping, my heart pounding, and my adrenaline raging. Most aspects of my individuality reflect that very well. I love hard, aggressive music, and also guns, but my passion in life is extreme sports, whether it be on a dirt bike, a bmx bike, a snowmobile, or a snowboard. I have a strong set of morals and ethics that I have partly adopted from my parents, but some are also partly my own. My morals mostly consist of karma (being kind, caring, helpful, truthful, and considerate to others), not littering (especially in nature), respecting nature, keeping a clean and welcoming home, success that is measured with happiness and not possessions, and having strong family ties. I feel that I am very strongly rounded individual who is going to go far in life. Many people would agree with that, although some people just think that I am an absolutely crazy person who has a death wish and will not go anywhere but to the hospital or the morgue. Educational experiences also tend to influence a person's identity. I have not had too many educational

Me Myself and Personality Traits When asked to describe myself I never know what to say, but I should know myself the best, right? I like to look at myself as a genuine, thoughtful young lady. I'm a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to get to this point of my life and working even harder to get to the successful and graduate part of my life. I care more for some others than I do myself but I have a huge nonchalant attitude. I don't really show anger or sadness much I always smile because I'm optimistic about life. I look at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can't take it back so just move–on and improve what you did wrong if it's possible....show more content...

I was taught to be caring and thoughtful; I wasn't taught anything else from anyone other than not to trust people. I'm the odd ball of my family because I am nothing like anyone. I can say I was also taught to believe in myself and never down myself because I can accomplish anything. That is shown through my determination and hard work because if I didn't believe in myself I wouldn't try as hard. Last but not all, Humanistic approach sums up my personality a little more than psychodynamic does because it involves nature vs. nurture and that kind of sums it up just saying that. Environment and Heredity is kind of the main reasons of my attitudes and actions. In the article, Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Briggs conducts different forms of psychotherapy techniques to prove whether things in an adolescent's life effect different adolescents differently. His study was a success and proved that many adolescents have different interpretations on the same issue. He read them off different problems and wanted to see how they would interpret them. He used children in the age groups of 12–17 and it worked out. I think that the different approaches can be brought together in some circumstances but in my case it doesn't. My personality makes more sense coming from the humanistic approach. Briggs, Stephen (2010). Time–Limited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Adolescents and Young Adults.

Developing myself as a leader In this essay, I will briefly introduce myself as a leader, discuss the results of the VIA character strengths survey in light of my development toward being a leader, share which elements I would like to work on, and end by outlining how I would like to help my peers on their separate journey. Myself as a leader As an introvert, I might not immediately stand out as a typical leader, yet whenever I have been given the opportunity to prove myself, peers were soon surprised of what lay uncovered below the quiet surface. Still waters run deep. I may not offer the social skills and charisma, though can call upon an unwavering drive, above average creativity, and knowledgeability. My words may not be aplenty but hold water. As a leader, I can be demanding, given I expect excellency of my team as much as of my own. I do not deal well with excuses and unpreparedness, yet am more than willing to recognize whoever works hard and goes the extra mile in contributing. This is not to say that I would be a distant power–hungry adversary leading from the top. Far from it. I enjoy participatory teamwork, even if I likely come down harsh on free–riders. I understand that qualities are diverse but professionalism while in the workplace is a prerequisite I need to be able to rely upon (professionalism and fun do not have to be mutually exclusive). It is likely that not everyone would thrive and appreciate my management style, which is based on

Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science.Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future. I can remember in high school, it seemed like I was always one of the last students finished with a test. I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions...show more content... I have discovered some interesting things I have noticed in myself before taking this course. For example, my learning style I have noticed is the visual learning style.

With this, I prefer to see and read information to full gain comprehension. If I forget the data, or not clearly understand it the first time read, I have the option of reading it over. I do not always trust myself to absorb all information the first time around. I take a lot of notes to look at. Notes help me remember even though I may not read the again, I can refer to them in my mind after writing them down. I am not sure if just anyone reading them would get anything out of it, but at least I know what they mean. I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted it as my very own. I am not sure if changing it this late in life is such a good idea. I have got by this far, it must work out for me. I have identified my personality style as being extroverted, one who becomes easily energized by others, and outwardly expressing thoughts as long as I am fully understanding context and material being discussed. If I have no idea what is being addressed, I am better of keeping quiet to save myself from

Just to think about self care can be a task in itself. I never really thought it about it, to be honest, but it is an essential part of living. We get so busy and caught up living in our everyday lives that we forget about the most important part, ourselves. I have two young kids ages 3 and 5, so my focus is always to take care of them and make sure their needs are met, forgetting about myself along the way. I think this assignment will help me to appreciate and not take for granted the things that I know I need to do for myself and to show love to the most important person, me. Stress management and self–soothing techniques are critical for surviving modern work–no matter the focus of the work. Psychotherapists tend to disregard their...show more content...

In class we discussed "saying no" being apart of our plans and I know that this is a must for me. At times I find myself running around like a chicken with its head cutoff. If only I had the courage to tell people no when I really need to the most. This will be tough for me but I know that it will help me have more time to do the things I love.

Although there are several things on my list that I am cringing over I will give it my all. What better way to be a good therapist? Starting the process of self–care now will hopefully alleviate future problems that I could face. I embrace this experience to create more self–love within. Setting out with determination and a clear understanding of my plan will hopefully create the motivation that I need to complete my goals. Knowing how I am, I have to take this day–by–day. If I do miss a task, instead of beating up on myself as I usually do I will commit to that task the following day. Its not so much doing the tasks that I am worried about because everything on my list I appreciate, it is finding the time to fit it all in. I think what will motivate me is knowing that if I can't help and take care of myself then how can I take care of my future clients. My ultimate goal after attending Antioch is of course helping others better their lives so I think this plan will give me a jumpstart in helping myself first. Get more content

I was born fourteen years ago and I have acquired many qualities in those fourteen years. One is I like to see myself as a very relatable person who many people can talk to. Many of my friends tell me that I am very relatable and a very honest person who says their honest opinion, which I can only agree with. Another word I hear a lot from my friends is that I am a chill, also known as relaxed or easy going. Listening to my friends is another good quality I believe I have. I can always sense when something isn't right. I believe I am also fairly good at judging people's character, so I think in some way that saves me from hanging out with bad people and also knowing which ones are the good ones. Adapting is another thing I am good at because of the many times I have moved. That also helps me get good at making friends all kinds of places, even in different countries. I get told a lot that I have a lot of friends and honestly I'm not totally sure how I have become friends with so many people. But I am not complaining. Most of my friends also say I am trustworthy and cool. Another thing I get told a lot is that I am hilarious. I mean I can just say the simplest things and my friends will laugh. All of these qualities are qualities that I like about myself but I also feel that many of my friends have the same traits. I like to hangout around people who remind me of myself. Most of my friends are funny and kind. They are all trustworthy and of course very cool. My friends are

Tell me a little bit about yourself. (Inspiration: Consider what brings you to the program, the roles you identify with in your life, education & work experience, hobbies and interests, etc). I like to think I'm very outgoing and ambitious. My mom always tells people about how when I was much younger, and when she took me out grocery shopping I'd always smile and say hello to anyone who walked by, I think that says a lot about my personality. My high school highly recommended that everyone took a cooperative program before they graduated. This was the opportunity I had been waiting for! Finally, I would be able to have the chance to gather some actual career experience in something I've wanted to do for as long as I could remember, it was my dream job! It was being a kindergarten teacher. From my very first day at my placement, I managed to fall in love with every single aspect. After my placement I set out on my path to further my education. I applied to all my top universities. I was very fortunate enough to be accepted into all of them. However, when I delved further into researching the certain programs that I had applied to, my options slowly dwindled. It was either too expensive and completely unrealistic, or the program wouldn't lead me down the path of working in a preschool. However, there was still my last option: at a University all the way in Windsor, a few minute drive away from Detriot– yeah it was far. Although, the program was great. Concurrent Get

It is important that you introduce yourself to the patient, confirm their identity and explain the procedure you are about to undertake so they have opportunity to ask any questions they may have. It is important to build a rapport with your patient so they feel comfortable around you. It is essential that they understand what is going to happen so they are able to give informed consent. When taking a patient's BP you must advise them that they may feel discomfort in their arm but that is normal and that it does not take long. As with all clinical procedures, you must wash your hands before and after dealing with a patient. It is also important that you select the correct cuff size for your patient as an incorrect cuff size will not provide

There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly right–brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and...show more content...

I find that I can only recall long–term memories if they are important to me, or if they are dramatic experiences. A few examples of my childhood memories are my mother reading to me, my grandfather playing his guitar, and my dad relentlessly teaching me how to ice skate, no matter how many times I fell. The people who affect my social life the most are my family and friends. I have an extremely close family that has played a major role in my life. They are whom I spend most of my spare time with. My family usually gathers every weekend for dinner. I am also very open to different religions, cultures, and practices because I know many people with different backgrounds and beliefs. Since I've been influenced by various people, I've learned at a very young age to never judge people by how they look, dress, feel, or act. I am very fortunate to have learned these lessons, because many people still do not understand the importance of accepting differences. In a group, I prefer to listen to what others have to say, and then contribute to the discussion. I try to listen so I am able to compare them to my own thoughts. I enjoy working in a group, because it gives everyone an opportunity to incorporate their own ideas. My social self is most greatly influenced by my family and friends. I believe that my spiritual self is the most important out of the three. Although I have a certain religion that I belong to and practice, I believe in a bit of

However, the South Bronx also had an energy emitting from it, and that energy left an indelible mark on me.

An example: I had the honor to work with a student named Edgar. Edgar was categorized as "Off Track" at the beginning of the year. He, unfortunately, was a prototypical student, with an absentee father and circumstances outside ofschool that affected his work ethic. Through everyday tutoring and coaching, Edgar and I became best buds–even though I felt sometimes hopeless in our education endeavor. But we kept pushing. On my drive home from City Year, he called me after his statewide tests to tell me that he passed to the 8th grade. This felt great, but I wasn't quite sure who learned more from whom. Did I serve Hunts Point or did it serve me?

I don't know if I'll ever be quite sure, but what I am sure about is that I realized to never lose perspective. I have been granted an enormous amount of privilege in my life. I don't feel guilty for it, but I do feel a Get

Self Exploration

Many of us go through life skimming the surface of our identities. That is, we don't truly dig deeply into our thoughts, feelings, desires and dreams. Part of the problem is that we're always on the go. When to–do lists keep swelling, self–exploration takes a backseat. How can it not, when we barely find time for self–care? Specifically, self–exploration involves "taking a look at your own thoughts, feelings, behaviors and motivations and asking why. It's looking for the roots of who we are – answers to all the questions we have about [ourselves]," according to Ryan Howes, Ph.D, psychologist, writer and professor in Pasadena, California.

Take some time and think about what you might need in order to be happy and ultimately successful in your job/career. For example, a few things to consider might be salary, geographic location, job autonomy, work hours, and professional growth opportunities, to name a few. Which ones of these, and/or others, are most significant; things that would make an obvious difference in whether we would enjoy our job/career? If you don't take the time to consider who you are and what you want, you won't know what you are looking for. You need to be aware that no job/career is going to be perfect and meet all of your expectations. But if you at least think about which things are more vital to your happiness and aim for those, you can come pretty close to what you want. Think about the skills and abilities you may have that you would like to utilize in your chosen profession (i.e. leadership, helping others, mathematical ability, creativity, communication, etc.) Which careers give you more of an opportunity to express yourself and be yourself? Many people make the mistake of assuming that they can and will do just about anything for the right amount of money. Well let me assure you that this is only partially true. In the beginning, the money may seem like enough to sustain your job satisfaction and happiness, but soon everyone realizes that money alone is only a temporary fix. If you don't really like what you are doing, or like where you work, you won't be

Development of Self

The development of self starts at a very young age. When a preschooler is asked how are they different from other children, they usually look at their self concept. Self concept is their identity, of their set of beliefs about what they are like as individuals. Most preschoolers give inaccurate statements about their self concept. They usually overestimate their skills and knowledge. Preschool–age children also begin to develop a view of self that reflects their particular culture considers the self. An example of this would be to look at the different views as self between theWestern culture and the Asian culture. Western cultures believe that an individual should seek attention of others by standing out...show more content...

Children's views of self become more differentiated. As they get older, children discover that they may be good at some things and not so good at others. Children's self– concepts become divided into personal and academic spheres. During middle childhood children begin social comparison. Social comparison is the desire to evaluate one's own behavior, abilities, expertise, and opinions by comparing them to those of others. During middle childhood children deal with the crisis industry versus inferiority stage. The stage is characterized by a focus on efforts to attain competence in meeting the challenges presented by parents, peers, school, and other complexities of the modern world. This is a time of their life where the child develops a self esteem. Self–esteem in an individual's overall and specific positive and negative self–evaluation. Self concept reflects beliefs and cognitions about the self, self–esteem is more emotionally oriented. The self–esteem of most children tends to increase during middle childhood with a brief decline around age of 12. Some evidence shows that members of minority groups have lower self–esteem then those of the majority group. Children build a sense of self efficacy during their elementary years. Self efficacy refers to learned expectations that one is capable of carrying out a behavior or producing a desired outcome in a particular situation.

I grew up with teaching myself. My mother was born in Colombia, then came here specifically to learn English and go back to her home country until she met my dad and from that moment her entire life changed. I was raised in a Hispanic middle class home. My first language was Spanish and when I started elementary school I learned English. Just beginning elementary school, I was already struggling with the language I was in ESL classes at school and then speech therapy on the side. I was struggling withlearning a new language and adjusting to school. My mom was not born here so I had to teach myself everything or I had a tutor to do so. It was hard watching my mom struggle to do anything she could in her power so that I was able to understand.

I seldom ask for help, and I don't go out of my way to talk to people. From what I have learned in this course, I think that to some people this might make me look like a jerk. Or that I think I'm better than them. When In reality I'm just a little bit of a socially awkward person. It's not that I don't like other people, I just really enjoy spending time with myself. I know a lot of people, but I only have two or three that I consider my friends. I value the quality of my relationships more than the quantity. I would rather go out and do something with one or two friends, rather than a large group. I enjoy having the close relationships with my few friends, I have no desire to fill my life with a ton of superficial friendships that come and go.

I take a lot of pride in the work that I do. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, it could be playing video games, riding my bike, or at work. When I succeed at something I give myself a lot of credit. To some people this may seem like I'm conceded, or that I like to show off. The reality of it is that rewarding myself for doing something good motivates me to continue to do good things. It's a way for me to motivate myself. The way I credit myself is not in the fashion of gloating, or showing off my success, but the opposite. I play off my successes like they're no big deal. To some people I may seem conceded when I accomplish something. For example, when I was in the Army, I was selected for airborne school. Airborne school

My future is something I often think about. Most often, the questions that arise include the common doubts of "Am I doing this right?", or even the occasional midnight philosophical questions such as "Why are we here?", and so on. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus on the factors that have allowed me to reach this point in my life and how these factors influenced and continue to influence me, in order to provide me with a visualization of my future. Factors that contributed to my current life choices include the desperate want to be something greater, as well as to experience the world in ways some could only dream of. I study hard, allowing for me to have the possibility of an early graduation. I dream big, allowing me with the imagination to draw up plans for myself and my future. I work hard, allowing me the strength and vision to execute my plans for the future. The way that I was raised has greatly benefited me. My parents have taught me that anything and everything is possible as long as you work hard for it despite the what others may tell you or even if the odds are against you. Another factor that led to my current life, is the amount of time I allow myself to think about my plans and refine them. This is extremely important because, without a solid, flexible, long–term plan, you could get lost in dreaming about the future, and end up not accomplishing anything. Hence, many aspects of my life have been planned out with not one or two possible alternatives

Reflection About Myself

During this Semester I have written six essays, and all of them were a little different. All of them had a different purpose in writing and required a different skill too. There are things that I did both good and bad in writing all of these essays. The first essay that I had to write for this class was a Self–Assessment essay, about my writing career and how the four basics have been involved in my life. This was a more personal essay about myself, while I have also had to write some essays about a feeling that I had, and also one about a specific topic. There were several different essays, and ways that I had to write them.

I chose dedication because I knew that it was something that I could write a lot on. This was my favorite essay to write in the class, mostly because the topic was something that I could write a lot on. The best part about this essay is the way that it was written, it was very easy to read. Also the way the opposing views and examples worked well in showing how what I said was good. The ending could have been a lot better, there was not much of a conclusion to it, and it was weak compared to how the rest of the essay was. Also, I tended to have some very long paragraphs, and then some smaller ones too. I need to work better on making sure that all of the paragraphs are closer in length and how to try and limit writing on one specific topic (paragraph) and learn how to move onto the next. After that, there was the Research Essay, and I chose to write on concussion in football. I chose to write on this topic, because I have always been interested in this. I explained what a concussion was, and how people get them and what to do when you have one. I also talked about the new changes or ways that the sport is making to help prevent concussions. I liked how the essay flowed and it was set up. There were things that I could have done better in the paper, and one

Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them. Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities. One Opportunity I had as a child was participating in taekwondo. I did taekwondo until I reached a blackbelt which took years of hardwork and dedication. I had to memorize forms, Spar with other competitors and break boards in order to continue to move up to the next level. Taekwondo also helped keep me in good shape and fit when I was younger. Another Opportunity I am grateful for is the skill of playing the piano. At first I was not all that enthusiastic about playing it but my parents has signed me up and insisted I

What is intimacy? This may be just one question, but it comes with a multitude of different answers. When I looked it up on Google, this is what I found: "close familiarity or friendship; closeness" and "a private cozy atmosphere" and also "an intimate act, especially sexual intercourse." Intimacy is looked at in many different viewpoints. If you think of intimacy with a friend, you may think of the closeness aspect, while intimacy with a partner could be defined as physical, especially sexual.

First of all this paper is going to be written in a diary form. There will be three main sections that I will address to my past, present, and future self. I am writing to my past self in order to reflect on the events in my life that have already shaped who I am currently and to contemplate where my life would be if I had made alternative decisions. Overviewing and self–reflecting upon your past can often point out mistakes that you made and prevent you from making them in the future.

The section in which I write to my present self will be filled with the ongoing struggles, important events, and decisions that I have made recently. It will point out the difficulties and harmonies that I may have with my boyfriend, friends, and family members, and find solutions on how to overcome these issues that I am dealing with.

The section to my future self will include situations that may approach someday in the near or distant future. I will write about how I can use the lessons and Get more content
