Essay On About Myself

It is human nature to make and learn from mistakes. Apparently, mistakes teach individual lessons that can help one in the future. Much like all other human beings, I do make mistakes. Even so, the most important thing worth noting is the fact that I do learn from such mistakes. Being an economics student at OU, I have encountered many difficulties in the past. Particularly last semester, I did encounter various challenges, both academic and social. In handling the challenges, I made quite a number of mistakes. Most notably, I made ethical mistakes of many types. Fortunately, I managed to take a positive attitude towards the same. The positive attitude enabled me to learn from the mistakes. I believe that, indeed, learning from the mistakes and challenges has made me a better being. I can now handle situations better since my decision making ability is enhanced.
This semester, I endeavor to achieve in all fields. Most prominently, I endeavor to perform best in my academics. As far as academics are concerned, I endeavor to graduate from the OU with a high grade GPA. My graduation will make my family proud. My parents, having invested a lot in our education, will be proud of me for having made such an enviable achievement. Considering the joy that such an academic achievement can bring, it is worth saying that this will be my greatest achievement this semester. Unlike last semester, I endeavor to achieve more and better knowledge and higher education. Apart from these academic goals, I as well aim at being a better person through investing much time and resources into personal growth. Personal growth may take various forms, the most prominent being improving my social skills. This may mean that I will have to alter the style in which I interact with people. Similarly, this will require me to change my ethical standards such that I may act in such a manner that I do not violate the expectations of society.
Last semester was quite an uphill task. I crossed with many people for different reasons, the most prominent being internal pressure. The internal pressure resulting from academic stress made me engage in arguments with people that did not seem to understand my situation. As a result, I lost in two ways. First, I lost a couple of friends. Secondly, I failed to perform well in examinations due to the stress occasioned by arguments with friends. I intend to do things differently in two ways this time. First, I will prepare for my examinations well in advance to avoid last minute pressure. Secondly, I will seek to interact well with everyone despite my stress levels. This calls for strong ethical practice as well as proper interpersonal relations.
As part of personal development, I will engage in such recreational activities as swimming and athletics. This will help me keep fit as I take the highly recommended break from books. This will call for proper planning of time. I will plan my time in such a way that the recreation does not interfere with my education and studies. Striking a balance between the two can be quite a hassle but with assistance from friends and encouragement from family, I will make it. Additionally, I will turn to God for divine intervention and guidance. Apparently, God is the strongest force in nature and through God, all things are possible, or so I believe. With all these plans, I sure will be a better person this semester.
