The way, in which I define myself, is through my hobbies, friends, personality, and attributes. I chose to disclose my past because before I used to be a bad student that would always get into trouble. The main reason why I came to a school so far away from home was so that I could start over and mature before I return home.

    At a young age, I waited on the benches for my mother to retrieve me from carpool. I observed my peers laughing together as they walked towards the gym for after-school sports. My mother, who soon arrived to find her kindergarten son sitting in solitude, scheduled numerous parent-teacher conferences. She would share her concerns while my teachers assured her that my "individuality" was what attracted friends to me. I had been a leader rather than a follower regardless of the opinion of others, and, to this day, that has remained static. I have evolved from that careless kindergarten leader, to an aspiring college graduate.…

    The relationships and interactions we share with our surrounding world and our fellow humans are the core determinants in the formation of identities. These connections, whether they be through family general society or random chance are all building block to our current identity. Families and groups can provide security and acceptance, while on the other hand can equally provide pressure, resentment and internal defiance. Regardless of the combination of these two possibilities the end result is still an interaction that affects your personality, whether it be for good or for worse.…

    I want to challenge my fears of social interaction with the burgeoning environment of college. The close-knit community melded within the honors dorms will force me to crack open my shell. In order to thrive, I must embrace my independence; avoiding thoughts of self-doubt or distrust. My Grandmother has always told me that my professional goals can only be reached with a procurement of the self. An undeveloped sense of self can hinder one's abilities to look towards the future. I aim to develop the aspects of my personality that I find the most advantageous, such as my creativity, my compassion, my strength, and my determination. The honors college will become the catalyst in my journey towards self-confidence, independence, and the embracement of my own creativity within the field I…

I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. I looked around and everyone seemed as polite as a dolphin. I walked into school and got to my locker as swiftly and I could.

    My early social experiences have contributed to my development and affected my educational experiences in a productive way. Throughout my years in school, I was not a student that was outspoken or had a lot of friends. I felt that I did not have time for socializing because I wanted to make the best out of my education. However, I participated in a lot of social events when I was younger. Being a Girl Scout in third grade taught me how to be sociable and work together with other people.…

    I tried my best to fit in but arriving at a completely new area and having to make new friends was an extremely scary thought for me. I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t have any friends, and I felt isolated. All I wanted to do was go back to California to the familiar faces I left behind. As the year progressed, I was forced to break my shell and interact with others in my class gradually becoming more confident in myself and making new friends. The internal battles I had to endure in me becoming more social eventually taught me not to be afraid to build relationships. Learning this at an early stage was very beneficial to me because now I am not afraid to talk to complete strangers and even befriend…

    I could still remember last year, during our freshmen year, when everyone in the class was asked to introduce his or herself. Some are the class clowns, the bring-all-the-make-up type of person, the shy type, the say-all-the-things-you-want-to-say type, the music lovers, the bookworms, and many more. Each type is associated to an individual, in my perspective, that is. Of course, there are first impressions but I believe that first impressions are usually false or that they do not really show the real character of a person. True enough, the types I have perceived them to be are not really who they are as far as I know them now, but that was only after a few months of being with them. Being a member of the class, I too belong to a type, described not by myself but by my friends in the class, and how did I come to know this? They told me so.…
