Good Essay About Who Am I Or Who Do I Think I Am?

Who am I or do I think I am? Usually when people are asked to describe themselves, they just get bummed out. You do not want to overestimate yourself in front of others, but also, it is important not to concentrate too much on the negative sides. Even though some people are extremely self-centered and do not seem like they can see their flaws, deep down they recognize every single drawback they possess. Each of us have a unique character. These are those lines of our personality which define our acts, behavior and thoughts. It is undoubted that each person has something different and special to offer to the world. Quite often there is a question of the description of a personality. Some people find it difficult to give such description. I strongly believe that people do not change, they just become who they really are. Most of people’s traits are formed when they are just little kids, so the background and family history, in my opinion, play the most crucial role in who you are. Let me tell you about where I come from.
I am 27 years old. I am from Africa and I am the last of 4 brothers and 3 sisters. My father is a retired manager director of an airline in Africa and my mother works at the bookstore. I went to kindergarten, all the way to high school in Africa before coming to America to further my education. When I was in high school I love to play soccer and I was also one of the best students with an outstanding GPA. I have 4 nieces and 5 nephews. I attended Kennedy King College before coming here, to Governor State University. The experience I had as a student was a very interesting one. They have free extra tutor to help with my assignments which I find very helpful.
Talking about my character, one of the main traits I possess is curiosity. Since the earliest childhood favorite questions were "why?" and "as?". I always liked to penetrate into an essence of things, to analyze dependences, to find communications and relationship. For this reason I am interested in joints of different areas of knowledge - many things become clear only after you goes beyond daily occurrence, the ordinary and habitual objects which don't raise doubts and surprise. I agree with the statement that in dispute the truth is born, but with the small amendment - the truth birth moment not always comes before the end of dispute. I know a set of cases when the people who have come out from dispute by unambiguous winners soon changed the position towards a position of the opponent, having quietly analysed at a leisure his arguments and having found in them rational grain; many times on the place of such "winner" happened and I am.In general, discussions are pleasant to me not so much an opportunity to express the point of view, having criticized a position of the opponent how many chance to test for durability own frame of reference and values. Very much I respect the people capable to catch me on false and "dishonest" constructions which sometimes happen absolutely unconsciously. It is elementary to outrage the average person banal eloquence and logical traps, and in case of the worthy opponent it first of all speaks about stability of own system.
Prior to coming to GOVST I didn’t have any obstacles on my way. I was a happy kid who always got what I wanted in life. The first challenge that I faced was to choose what I wanted to major in. This world is full of choices, but also, it is important to recognize that not every choice can pay off in the long run. My whole life was pursued by fear of the future: bad presentiments, spontaneous or connected with some important, responsible events. From nowhere suddenly rolled inexplicable feeling of alarm, uncertainty. To get rid of alarms independently, I tried to provide, think over everything to trifles in advance. Astrological forecasts and various horoscopes gave to confidence, but for a while. Fears came back at collision with a new situation.The fear of the future holds down. What to do when you feels that very soon, just about, there will be an accident. Where to run? How to live in constant alarm? Someone goes to the fortuneteller, someone to church, - I preferred not to lean out, live quietly and is modest, at half strength, half-heartedly and pleasures. Finally, I decided to do my best, concentrate and make the choice about what do with my future - to major in Interdisciplinary Studies. Whenever I accumulate some income and have a sturdy financial base, I would like to open up my own restaurant.
My biggest fear about going this direction is that once I get into the real world of this kind of studies I will actually not like it. I know that every occupation has its challenges, but it is important for me to look at the bright side of things. I will never regret about this “leg” in my journey because all the things I am experiencing right now are just making me a stronger and more decisive person. My past experiences will motivate me to do the best job I can and be the best version of myself I only can. Academically, I want to graduate from university and gain enough knowledge to be an expert in whatever I end up doing. Physically, I hope to stay healthy and just perfect my looks. Mentally, I hope to always make right and ethical choices.
Mostly important, I want to be a person. To try to correct itself, to be better, kinder, more sincere. To achieve something in life, success, but for this purpose it is necessary to become patient and hardworking. It is also important to be able to understand others, to help and care for other people. I want to become the person whom anyone would respect and trust. But for this purpose the aspiration to improve the character besides is necessary. Further to become good mother and the grandmother of whom children, grandsons, and maybe great-grandsons would be proud. To leave behind good memories at the people knowing me. And now try not to make mistakes in life.
is difficult to answer a question with what I imagine the future. I only hope that I have still a lot of things ahead. From my efforts, a lot of things will depend on a right choice in my destiny.There is such wise proverb: "You will seed an act – you will reap a habit, you will seed a habit – you will reap character, you will seed character – you will reap destiny". To achieve success in life and in a profession, it is necessary to cultivate in itself such qualities of character as diligence, commitment, will power. I feel that one of my main tasks for today, − is fight against laziness. Mother says that I waste a lot of time, I read a little, I don't give work to the head and hands, and I will be sorry then about the missed opportunities. In something I agree with her.
I hope that all the people that I meet along this journey that is called life, will be helpful and supportive as well. I cannot wait till I can proudly say that all the efforts that I put in during my years of high school and university have paid off, and I have a good job that can provide both for my family and myself.
