Personal Accomplishment

When it comes to accomplishments for myself it’s hard not to think about times where I have accomplished accidently dropping a bell on my head or successfully running straight into a pole. And when I do find something I have accomplished it rarely seems to be something not too important or something very easily done. Being alive is not an accomplishment for someone who lives here, and having a driver’s license is something that nearly every functioning member of society has to have to do almost anything. Probably the most amazing thing I’ve done is keep my truck running somehow over the course of two years. And really all it is is working straight out of a book I got for free at the library. But this is not the accomplishment I have been trying to clumsily write about but the accomplishment is really the skills I have been learning by fixing my truck. I have learned so many things that will help me amazingly in the future. Anything that includes basic mechanics or electrical will be so easy now. I’ve replaced fuel pumps and starters, a distributor cap. At one point I spent a month replacing all the grounds one by one while I still had to work and go to school. Now that was an accomplishment. I’m not sure how I haven’t messed it all up yet. But in all the big accomplishment is the fact that I’ve done this and am still doing this and I find that to be my big ongoing

    Now I’m going to talk about my positive traits. I like helping people, if there is something I can do, I will do it. I believe that when you do something good for other people you get two things 1, the satisfaction of helping and two, God will reward you for the good action. According to my family I’m a joyful person I’m always smiling and making people laugh. Like I said in the beginning, I don’t like showing people my weaknesses and that includes when I’m sad or depress. I prefer keeping it all to myself and act like everything is okay. I put others first than me, I think that is something good because it doesn’t make me a selfish person. Another positive trait that I will always be thankful to my parents is showing me good manners and to…

    For an individual to be authentic and successful to oneself and the community, an individual must first have a basis for which to base the ideas on for comparison. In order for a clear and precise definition of a word, sometimes examples serve as a guide for a better understanding to more easily comprehend the full scope of the concept. In/Out group is tudied thoroughly in the book Perceptions of Ingroup and Outgroup Variability: A Meta-Analytic by Brian Mullen and Li-Tze Hu which demonstrates the psychological effects on the phenomenon. David G. Myers provides many examples of conformity and prejudice in an excerpt from his book Social Psychology that helps to define success and authenticity. Both topics are revisited in Glenn C. Loury’s Free at Last? A Personal Perspective on Race and Identity in America, where the author describes how real he and others are and how that plays a part in society. When Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his infamous I Have a Dream speech in front of thousands of supporters in 1963, there is no one that can doubt that there is only authenticity and success in his words. Sometimes success and authenticity can be found within their failures and some authenticity is found within fraud as within the movie Crash written, directed and produced by Paul Haggis. Within the realms of different texts, the definition, motivation, understanding, balancing, and application of authenticity and success are easily recognizable.…

    15 years back when I decided to be a car racer, I was an embarrassingly slow driver with poor driving skills. But proper driving school trainings and hard work made my career. I still remember that I got the chance of taking part in a three day race driving class at the Bridgestone racing school. Drivers from all around the world took part in that race. Every driver was experienced and skilled at the high end racing except me! The race ended and obviously my name was not in the winner lists. But my zeal in this career made me a car racer. But I was not a looser. During my sports career I had won many championships. Most memorable day of my career till now is when I won a Radical Middle East Cup. What a day it was! That day I realized that hard work certainly pays off and nothing is…

    I always loved school, and I was a fast learner. I was praised for my accomplishments at an early age and I believe that the satisfaction I gained from impressing others was motivation that impacted my future. I continued to do the best I could in school. My mother was very strict and tough on me when reviewing my work, ripping my essays if I wrote in sloppy handwriting and erasing all of my math problems if I got more than one wrong. It was emotionally difficult but I eventually toughened up, and her training made me a more diligent student. The only motivation I would have was the praise I would receive for amazing scores on my work. Eventually, I stopped being praised and it was devastating for me. I entered middle school and I continued…

    My first goal was to obtain my general Equivalency Diploma (GED) with the intentions of later attending college. It took me longer to achieve my goals, since I have had many personal obstacles in my way. At the age of 17, I became a married teenage single mother of a one month old baby. I did not have much of a family so I had to take care of my child on my own. My family was not the type to go to for help because they would take from someone leaving them helpless. Looking in the mirror one day after being knocked down for not cooking dinner, made me look into my soul through my eyes; I decided enduring a life with so much Domestic Violence that it was not for me.…
