“Are there any significant experiences you have had, or accomplishments you have realized that have helped to define you as a person?”
Experiences and accomplishments that helped me define me as a person? I can say everything! The things that I saw from the moment I opened my eyes in the morning, from what I read, what I see on a billboard and television, or even what I smell on the way to school. These things help me stimulate my thoughts and reach certain realization that help in my establishment. When I was watching the surfer in the beach, I noticed that he is dancing synchronically with the ups and downs of the wave. I remember seeing a petal from a flower fall down to the ground. Those things didn't mean much to me then, but just recently when I'm doing this essay, I understood that they can mean so much more. Something as amazing as a coursing wave in the beach or flower petal falling only lasts so long. The waves fade and the petals wither and die. It made me realize that the best things in life are simply fleeting along with time. That only means we need to enjoy every single bit of things even more. I saw myself as a simple girl that would never be notice when put in the middle of the crowd. I didn’t possess anything special; something that can catch everyone’s attention. But as I go by, I perceived that life isn’t that unfair! It’s unfair to everyone and that makes it fair. Back to my elementary life, I ranked fifth when I’m on my second grade then down one spot on my third. After it, I got my fifth place back but suddenly I slipped it again when I was on my fifth grade. That’s the time when I realized that I’m missing some important things of being who you are, the faith and self-confidence. My sixth grade adviser, friends, and family always push me to anything that can help me be a better person. They told me not to give up no matter how hopeless the situation is.
