Self Analysis

I have always had Final Grades being above a B! In fifth grade, I was apart of a handful in having straight A+’s in my whole school! In sixth grade, I was apart of a test to participate in accelerated classes! Today, I am in Algebra I and in seventh grade; the lowest grade I had in this class was a B+, even above some eighth graders. During sixth and fifth grade, I got involved in Math club at Franklin Woods Intermediate, I competed against other kids in other schools, doing eighth and even high school math! I have participated in accelerated Language Arts and Math since fifth grade; I have continued to grow since then! I pride myself in being in advanced classes, many people ask how I got to be really “smart,” I say, “ I listen, speak at a low amount and come to school; I pay attention and ask questions.” Overall, I think that the choices I made, got me here; I really like a quote from Robert Kiyosaki, that was mentioned in one of the books he

A special attribute that sets me apart is my tendency to work hard. I constantly try to do my best in everything that I do. Throughout high school, I’ve always set a high standard for myself by taking rigorous classes, joining sports and clubs, and maintaining a high GPA. Even if certain classes didn’t have any relation to nursing, club meetings were the day before a large exam, or tennis practice was especially grueling, I still worked hard and put in as much effort as I could. With this type of attitude, I was able to maintain Distinguished Honor Roll and a cumulative 4.08 GPA throughout my high school career. I chose to maintain this attitude during senior year instead of taking it easy, as I was able to gain knowledge and experience that

The holidays have left me feeling weaker and more exhausted and stressed, my sister is killing me, and the impending medical stuff is taking me to a deeper level of stress.

An obstacle that I have encountered throughout my lifetime, specifically my time in high school, has been pushing myself to be the very best. Even though I feel as though I am very self-motivated, it takes a great deal of effort to actually execute the things that I have been given. For example, we all know how hard it is to avoid procrastination, during high school if you were to ask any one I knew, I would always have my work completed before the deadline. Some may call it overachieving, but when I get a load of work that needs to be completed, I like to get it done immediately or I feel like I have too much on my plate and I’m unable to handle all of it.

Cold is a subjective term used to describe the feeling of the absence of heat, and without light, there is only darkness. One of these can only exist with the existence of the other and in spite of it. She could be compared to the times when this rule was ignored; the cool day was filled with kinetic energy, and the pitch-black room was spilling over with the brightest light that anyone had ever seen. This, however, did not mean that she was full of light and warmth, but rather that she encompassed both the dark and the light while she had no ties to either side. This quality is negligible in most scenarios, and in many, she could romanticize herself into an edgy wanderer with a greater understanding than that of her peers. Although, when she faced a massive dilemma, she could not find a way to rationalize her inability to commit into something amazing. There was no way that she could make sense of how quickly she lost hope in her relationship with the knowledge that someone else in the world cared about her.

Throughout this semester I have learned an abundance of knowledge. I have learned a lot about assignments and things that I can do better to benefit me.One thing I have learned I need to improve is my ability to follow directions. Another thing I have learned I can work on is my ability to plan out the task I have at hand. The third aspect I have learned that I need to improve my abilities on is my researching skills. There is never a point where you can't improve something.

The small, seaside town of Point Pleasant Borough, New Jersey is not exactly where one would expect to find many adventures. Leveling out at just under twenty thousand citizens, it is a mostly homogeneous population of white, Christian families. The kids I went to school with often referred to Point as “The Bubble,” meaning that nobody leaves our town; and the nickname holds true. My hometown is filled with families that have lived there for generations, families that everybody knows, because nobody leaves town. My family in particular is a prominent one in Point. My grandparents had nine children, so every teacher I’ve ever had has taught at least one or two Hanrahans before me. I am constantly asked things like, “Who's your dad?” or “Are

There are a lot of social class structures in Egypt. They range from pharaohs to nobles to priests. In the text, it states”The social class in egypt was extremely rigid.” that means that everyone knew where they were. No one was left out. Weather you were a king or slave, they all had their spot.

I was essentially brought up in a peaceful, suburban neighborhood in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. My household consists of my father, mother, a younger sister, and me. We originally came from South Korea (except my sister who was born in the U.S.), but we have lived in Oklahoma the longest (not including my father and mother). In the time we spent in South Korea, including summer vacation, it is always wonderful to meet my relatives once more. Though I have difficultity in communicating with my extended family, I still have a special connection with them, even though they haven’t been in my life that often. Moreover, my family is able to talk to our distant relatives through phone/face-timing apps. Also, my family attends the Church of St. Benedict where I was taught my basis of morals. I was raised in my family from my early childhood, and understand how my faith can help me through difficult challenges as well. Throughout the years that I have lived in the United States, I have grown within its culture

A sophomore at Downtown Magnets High School, I demonstrate passion in my education, ambition in fulfilling my personal and academic goals, and am an explorative student. My passion for learning is the result of my mindset, in that aside from finding education a necessity, it is enjoyable, challenging, and beneficial in fulfilling my future aspirations. For example, I find my Honors Advanced Mathematics class my most unique course. It builds upon my ability to critically think, present data or information, and understand higher-level math at a rapid pace. In particular, it is the ability to solve real-world situations and the underlying mystery mathematicians have yet to solve that intrigues me to continue learning. The class expects much of me, but I am aware that it is preparing me for college- and university-level math while providing me with the skills to pursue a career in Architectural/ Structural Engineering. Ambitious, I set objectives for myself and arrange to accomplish and excel in the process. For instance, I participated in my middle school’s academic decathlon with a chance to represent my school in the mathematics single-subject exam. In doing so, I attempted to score a near perfect to perfect score. While the competition did not end the way I expected, I successfully gained a flawless score on the questions

There are over Six Billion people inhabiting the planet earth today and that number is growing. “In the six seconds it takes you to read this sentence, eighteen more people will be added” (Ehrlich 9). The total population of the World, projected on October 23, 2001 at 6:28:09 pm GMT was 6,181,600,089 people (U.S. Bureau of the Census). Each hour there are 11,000 more mouths to feed; each year more than 95 million. Nevertheless, the world has hundreds of billions fewer tons of topsoil and hundreds of trillions fewer gallons of groundwater with which to grow food crops than it had in 1968.

Toni Morrison began her literary career with the novel The Bluest Eye published in 1970. Later she published many award-winning and best-selling novels like Sula (1973), Song of Solomon (1977), Tar Baby (1981) and Beloved (1987) which earned her repute as one of the leading African American writers. Morrison’s first published novel The Bluest Eye explores the issues related to the crisis of identity of a Black girl named Pecola in a White European society as a consequence of ‘internalized racism’. Through the protagonist Pecola, Morrison demonstrates the damage caused by ‘internalized racism’ to the minds of the children in the most devastating manner. The novel depicts Pecola’s struggle for identity and self where the epitome of beauty is defined by the standardized White European norms. For Pecola, having blue eyes, blonde hair and pinkish skin tone is the true epitome of beauty, which ultimately results in her suffering. Her life-long craving for the misconceived beauty provides her nothing but a false notion of self and identity.

In my self-reflective analysis, I discovered My strengths are that I’m a decent student, excellent mother, I’m a responsible parent and adult. I enjoy giving back to my community, and helping others out whenever needed. Learning to focus and concentrate better on schooling rather than everything else occurring. I’m working towards being goal oriented and working on improving my life financially, physically, emotionally. I have abstained from eating certain foods and drinks.

During my first year in my master’s program my first internship training was with Strength United providing family therapy to families with cases open under the Department of Child and Family Services. I was soon assigned my first case. A family of 4 in which the children were exposed to abuse (domestic violence and adult content) at the hands of their father. This was a Latino family and the father was the sole financial provider. I worked closely with the mother, who was Spanish speaking had limited education and were undocumented. The children in the home ranged from 3 years old to 14 years old. Due to the nature of the abuse the father was required to vacate the household during the time the case was to remain open. Naturally, the mother had several fears and regrets.

As an undergraduate student at the University of Central Florida, I learned a great deal about how societies generally function and how laws and policies can affect individual members of a society in unique and significant ways. With low-income families not investing in their educations past high school and lacking proper knowledge of how their governing laws and regulations work and are enforced, they often fall into predicaments that could be avoided if they just had someone to point them in the right direction. When I was President of the Student Government Association at Seminole State College, I often encountered peers and classmates who were unaware of the assistance available to them through the city or university if they simply didn’t have the means to meet their everyday needs. These students and other working adults in the community were struggling to acquire food and clothing, and yet there were churches, shelters, thrift stores, and vouchers available and easily accessible to them for assistance; with me being so passionate about helping others, I informed them of these resources available to them. Once I witnessed such hardships firsthand, it served as confirmation for me in what should could have been done and needed to be done for my former students. Also, when I served as the Region 3 Director for the Florida African-American Student Association, I participated in board meetings where my colleagues and I discussed various ways to ensure the equality of
