Who I Am Today Analysis
I didn't ever grow up in the richest of neighborhoods, but that didn't matter, because I was happy. I was happy because my personality, my interests and my character all formed from the areas and places I have lived in and around. For example, my beloved family, the income of my household and the neighborhoods I lived in shaped me to be who I am on this day in age.
The biggest playing factor on who I am today was unquestionably a repercussion of my kindred. My home, after my parent’s divorce, was always filled with 4 people, which were my mother, my youngest brother, my only sister and myself. Fifty percent of the time the house was peaceful as the other half was obnoxious. My brother and I shared a room together which used to bother me bucket loads back when I was around the age of fourteen to sixteen. Sharing a room with my brother, whom I see every single sun and moon, definitely taught me to share what I have and to make the best out of what I have. Sure we would argue, but in the end we would make up and laugh it out with a video game to accompany us and our bored, young minds. My mother also taught me a very important life lesson, which was to “Learn from your mistakes,” and I made many, but never made one without learning a lesson from my error. I don’t think I would of been able to survive without the help

My mother was the only one bringing an income into the household for me and my two siblings, so we didn't always have the money to do and get everything we wanted. However, we did have enough money for the things we needed. This definitely taught me to cherish the things I have and not to whine about the things I don't. Without that skill in my life i'm sure I would way less patient with just about everything and i’m sure I would be much more irritable. I am definitely a “homebody” and the fact that I have a small house and can’t always get what I want at home doesn't change that one

    I have always kept this in mind and I have learned to give back to my parents for all the sacrifices they have made just for me to give the best education they could afford. My mom would always joke around and tell me things like, “Work hard and suffer now, so you can live the rest of your life shopping harder.” She gives me something to look forward to in the future. Her zealous temperament and unfaltering persistency to complete her tasks motivates me to maximize my full capacity, as well. Giving importance to education is one of the embodied values she has instilled in me that I will be forever grateful…

    One of many important roles that my mom plays in my life is that of a teacher and counselor. She has taught, and still teaches, about life and anything right and wrong in the world. An example would be that no matter how complicated something can get, never give up and walk away after the first try. Dale Carnegie, a famous writer and lecturer, once said; “Most of the things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” (Walter 1) Another would be just because you see someone do something that seems bad, but does not get in trouble, do not…

    Growing up, I was depended on to look after my four younger siblings while my parents worked endless hours. I have always viewed myself as the atlas of my household, carrying the load and blame of four other people, while trying to remain sane. I believe that being able to take on such a large responsibility as a young teen has defined and structured my character. I take pride in my achievements because I would not be the person I am today.…

    Growing up most children socialize with other children at school, church and extracurriculars. For me I didn’t go to school and with church my dad went to a Bahi center which is like a church. Because I didn’t have the structure of school and religion I socialized through my homeschooling support group and my extracurriculars. Because my family is non traditional my parents managed to keep a stable household. My education from preschool through highschool was structured where I was given the text books which I would go through by myself and get help from one of my parents when needed. Some of my beliefs I know would come from my families influence, but also with the influences from my teachers and friends from my childhood to my college education today. Media influence of dance and music would have a big affect my life because they taught me not only discipline, but also how to appreciate the performing arts. With who I am today, I would have never imagined in a million years that I would be the person that I am today from growing up in a different environment of the average child. The access to community resources especially with me being a homeschooler were used to my advantage. When getting involved with the community I would tutor fellow students in English and ballet. One theorist that I found is fascinating is Abraham Maslow and his theory of the “Manslow theory of the Hierarchy of Needs.” Because I was raised differently from most children I know that it has made me a unique individual who is like any other person in the world that we live in.…

    My mother had a vision to care for both of her children as best as she could and give us the life she never had; not saying that she would wake up not knowing where her next meal came from but just the simple fact of being the only one out of the 5 children to leave her low scaled neighborhood and move to a more struggle-free way of living. As a child I wasn’t the richest kid in school, but I also wasn’t the poorest, I believed I was fortunate but never rich. I’ve never had to struggle in my younger years such as; our lights getting cut off, being evicted, missing a meal, or even sharing any necessities with my older sister. My life has been laid back and relaxing with no fears or struggles, but one thing I will give my mother gratitude for is teaching me that nothing in life is free, everything is earned. With that being said it gives away that even though I was fortunate I never got everything I wanted I had to work for in…

    Those who grow up with less distractions as in fancy vehicles, big houses, expensive clothes, and more toys then they can play with, have a better life understanding. I did not grow up with much to my name and honestly I am glad it happened that way. Though I do wish to know how much different it would be if I grew up with money, but I believe everyone wishes that. What I did grow up with, is a tight knit family and a hard working attitude. I hope one day that this hard working attitude pays off so when I have kids I can give them what they need and a little extra.…
