Dont Know Me Quotes

In the novel I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb, the quote “I was different-I never hid my desire when I changed from wanting to be a doctor to wanting to be an inventor or politician,” (Yousafzai and Lamb 7) really stuck out at me. This quote represents the fact that Malala was never stopped from achieving her goals because someone discouraged her. This quote shows her strength and her ability to not give into peer pressure. This quote matters to the book as a whole because it represents how she was able to speak up against the Taliban. If she had listened to other people warning her not to do so, then she could not have become a success. I agree with her quote because if one keeps a mind that can think for itself and not

This quotes mirrors my Dad on his struggles after he was on his own. He kept his head high and was courageous through his adventures. When he was 21 he started working in a hospital as management. When he was 24 he used some money, which he worked for, as well as some money from his Grandmother, so that he could attend Duke University. My Dad, by doing everything he could attend one of the best schools in the country, showed how he was not a Grendel, who would tear others down to get what he wants.

I’ve thought a lot about that quote during my reading of Cities Of Gold. My aunt had meant it in a “this bad part will be over soon” way, but you can so easily apply it to the good parts of life. All things must pass, the good, the bad, the merely okay. Cities of Gold argues that we must accept this truth of life, the fact that everything eventually fades into oblivion, as it relates to ourselves and to the society we live in.

Sometimes in life, situations may knock you down to a breaking point of giving up. These situations can make you or break you; but whatever you chose the choice is yours. Challenging circumstances can make you feel as if the world is caving in on you. Moreover, you must learn to push through your trials and tribulations and get back up again. Life never said it would be easy, or challenging. You must continue to keep dreaming, and keep that hope alive within your heart, and strive to become a stronger solider for the next mountain that may come against you. In life, we will not always see good days. However, your good days should outweigh your bad days. As long as you have breath in your body, you will always win the battle that’s ahead of you. The story of Lolo Jones exemplifies this breaking point, and the discouragement she experienced to doubt her dreams.

Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.

I leaned my head against the car window watching the leaves blowing around, just trying to distract myself from a slight feeling of emptiness inside of me. This feeling seemed all too familiar to me. My family and I had all of our possessions packed into boxes yet again. We were moving to a new state. At this point, up rooting our lives and starting over almost seemed more like a hobby than anything more significant. However, I have just now come to realize that what seemed like constant inconveniences in the past, have actually taught me how to be the best me with influences all around the country. Living in three different states and five homes may have been a challenge, but it provided me with memories that I wouldn’t trade for anything because those moments created the person I am today.

I think that there are very few words or quotes that could ever represent me. I am just to unique but one quote that would do it,it would have to be “ You don't know where you're going tell you have got lost” I made this quote because it really represents me well,I love going to go into the woods on my dirtbike without a clue where I'm going. I like this because I don't need a destination with directions on how to get there I need to have the adventure to get lost and find something that no one else knows and there's no right way to get there. The best way that I can spend my time is being outside working on something or going out and exploring to find what I haven't seen. Find cool places to hangout or find something that has been forgotten

In the last part of Me Before You, Will and Louisa go through many hard troubles. Lou still finds Will annoying most times, but is becoming accustomed to his wittiness and cruelness. After she found out what Will had planned to do, she decided to stay and make it her mission to make him decide to live again. In this particular situation, I don’t know if I would’ve gone back to that job. Yes, it was very good money, but being involved in a suicide act is very displeasing to me.

I’m only a sixteen year old junior in a small high school 45 minutes away from the capital of Iowa. Therefore, I have never expected much out of myself, and neither has anyone else that knows me. I have always inferred that I would settle down close to my hometown, in order to be able to take care of my widowed, handicapped mother, but I realized that day that I do not want to be someone who just sits around and waits for life to happen.The sermon made me realize that my heart isn’t here, and I have to be able to leave home in order to be able to find my way back. Maybe the rainy coastline of Seattle will offer what I’m missing, or the bustling streets of New York. I believe that in order to grow as an individual, we as humans have to learn how to leave home in order to find our way

Growing up in a small country and not being able to get what you want is a little bit harder. I grew up where my parent had to stay up all night to just make sure that we are safe. Kakuma is the city that I was born in which is in refugee camp. My parent had hard time moving from Ethiopia to kakuma refugee camp because there was a fight going on in Ethiopia, so they didn’t have a choice but to get out of there in order for us to be safe. When they got to kakuma refugee camp they had hard time getting a job and that’s when life get a little bit harder because my parent couldn’t afford buying enough food and paying for our education. Going through tough times like that with my parent is what made me too strong like I am today and in the future.

Meg (Margaret) Murry is not like any other twelve-year-old girl. She is upset with just about everything but most of all she “hates” herself. She thinks that she is an “oddball” and that is why nobody likes her. Meg isn’t that great in school either; she can only do math but that doesn’t matter because the teachers mark her down for doing the problems “in her own way.”

Maya Angelou once said, “I can be changed by what happened to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.” This quote has stuck with me and changed the way that I view life. My life hasn’t been as comfortable as it is now, but instead of being ashamed of that, I am grateful. The fact that I have struggled makes me cherish what I have now, and helps me empathize with others in the same situation. It also has helped me acknowledge that low points in life can be overcome by persisting and having resilience.

When the news got to me I was angry, furious even, but I couldn’t find it in my heart to hate him. He called me later that day crying, genuinely crying, “I didn’t mean to do this to you. I’m so sorry for all the hurt I gave to you after everything you did for me. You don’t come across girls like you and I hate that I messed that up for my own selfish needs. I’ll always love you and understand that you hate me,” he said. I couldn’t hate him, I knew I was never going to be able to. Would I be able to move on from this? I don’t know, but my goal is to try to live my life and love myself enough to know what’s right for me.

As a family of six I was raised on section 8, barely surviving on welfare. I shared beds and clothes with dreams of making it out of poverty, but with little guidance I was at risk of continuing this lifestyle for generations to come. My mother was always at work and my father was absent, which made me skip childhood and mature in order to become independent. I was never that child who had their mother sitting at the table telling them how to do their homework, but rather a child who stood on the table all day and night trying to teach myself. I knew from an early age that I wanted more in life than used clothes and a bike as transportation. I had the dream of attending college and becoming a doctor in philosophy.

As a child, I remember growing up in an area of Atlanta, Georgia called Mechanicsville. This area was very diverse with people from various socioeconomic backgrounds. Often, my mother would share valuable life lessons with my siblings and me. One, in particular, I remember even to this day is, “Life is only as challenging or motivating as you make it”. Originally, I did not quite understand the purpose of this aphorism; but as I got older, the meaning became quite clear. Although life for me has been both wholesome and unhealthy, in hindsight, it seemed better than my childhood friends. If you knew the real story, you would see that my life is not as perfect as it appears. Just to provide you with a little insight into my world, I had a
