There’s an old saying by Eleanor Roosevelt that states “You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.” I believe this statement is true. However, what Eleanor Roosevelt fails to mention was who, or what kind of people come into our lives and influence us to change for the better. Do these particular individuals shape our paths, or our futures? Or when these people come into our lives is it meant to happen for a reason? No one knows for sure, but when we meet someone who leaves such a profound effect on our hearts and minds, like foot prints in the sand we remember them forever. Ben Carson always mentions that his mother helped shaped his life, as well as his family, students, teachers, his strong belief in god, and his love for books helped shaped his future. Throughout middle school, high school and college these key influences would lead him to what he has become today.…
What impact do all of our past experiences and relationships, the good and the bad, have on our identities and sense of self? The self is a key construct in several schools of psychology, broadly referring to the cognitive and affective representation of one's identity. In the book Cat's Eye by Margaret Attwood, Elaine's identity and her perceived sense of self is dynamic and all her positive and negative experiences and relationships have helped shape it, as well as my past experiences and relationships have shaped me into who I am today. Much of the important experiences that have contributed to forming Elaine's identity occurred while she was still a child, as this is crucial time in her life to developing her personality and how she interacts with her peers and future relationships. Similarly, the experiences and relationships as a child have had a tremendous impact on my sense of self and the development of my personality. When Elaine enters high-school, her entire identity shifts from being serene and introverted to callous extroversion and notoriety. Likewise, my identity also shifted but not as radically as Elaine's, and I feel I gained great insight and personal growth during my time in high-school. Although we may be very different people in our teenage and adult years, our experiences and relationships as children have an everlasting impact on our developing identities.…

How do experiences, good or bad, shape the identity of an individual and make them stand apart from others? In the award winning novel A Complicated Kindness, by Miriam Toews and the classic best seller Anne of Green Gables, by L.M Montgomery, the struggle and desire to find personal identity is profound. Through a series of experiences, the main characters in each novel, one a rebellious Mennonite and the other a red headed orphan, are forced to look within themselves and realize one of the most commonly asked question, “who am I?” As both Nomi and Anne grow internally, not only do they find gratification for themselves, but they also allow others to be set free in the same way. From the beginning of the book to the end, Nomi and Anne’s personal changes are drastic and through all their hardships, both characters and their companions become changed for the better. Experiences are the foundation to discovering personal identity, seen through death, expectations, rejuvenation.…

Do you ever feel like you can’t make your own decision, because of the thoughts of those around you? Have you ever thought that the decisions you make in life is based on someone else’s thoughts. Do you feel like you’ve changed and become someone different because of those you supposedly belong to? There are milestones in life that change you to be the person you are supposed to be. For example a major milestone in a person life can vary from being toilet trained to starting a form of education. As we spend a lot of time at school and work it can change us to become different, people like Cady Heron from the movie “Mean girls” started school different to how she ended school. Sandra Laing from the movie “Skin” schools’ experience didn’t entirely go the way it was planned; it changed her to become a complete different person. Though also the people who we belong to such as family members can change who we become and who we’d like to be, from the choices of those who belonged. From the movie “Skin” Sandra’s decision to spend her life with Petris changed her father, Abraham Laing, whose emotions towards Sandra also affected Sannie and Leon’s decisions in life. The people we belong to is essential to change of one’s self, though there are substances that can change a person from good to worst, like Petris, Sandra’s first husband.…
Recently I had something happen that really put me off- it keeps me up at night and makes me feel like somehow this is all my fault, even though I know that is not the case. It has caused me to pull away from the people that use to fill my life with happiness and laughter and has consequently, been the reason I run to my room the second I get home every night to take shelter under my sheets. I know that personal pronouns and accounts are not to be used in these, but I know that being able to understand and relate her will only help me.…
I heard that people can't change. I don't think it's true, because I changed all thanks to my best friend Lulu. Before meeting her I was the opposite as I am right now, unhelpful, not that good at my studies and even not that good as someone to trust. Not only did Lulu change my way of thinking she changed my life, within three different reasons, her honesty, her cleverness and her volunteering works. She is a very close to me, although I met Lulu in my first year at the university. The first time I saw Lulu I didn't think much of her, there is a saying that looks can be deceiving. Questions passed through my mind: Is she going to be a good influence on me or not? Are we going to like each other? I started talking to Lulu and introducing myself to her as she did too, little by little I began to really like her personality.…
