How I Changed
How I Have Changed
Brianna Johnson
4rd Block
October 23, 2014
In this year I think I have changed quite a lot. I believe that I really have changed for the better, and became a better person. I have not changed as much as I wanted to but I have changed just enough for this year. My attitude has changed, I am more trusting with a better social life, and overall my whole life has changed.
I use to have the worst attitude in the world. I would always be mean to people and rude. I do not know why I was like that but I always was for some reason. I never noticed it though, but people would tell me I had an attitude. My mom use to tell me I had a nasty attitude all the time, but I never thought so. Once I really started listening to myself and seeing how I reacted to things, I noticed what people were talking about. I did not like it at all, so I decided that I was going work on that because it was not cute at all. I started working on my attitude this year and I really have improved. I hardly get told I have an attitude anymore or that I am being rude.
I use to be anti-social and not willing to get to know new people. It was not that I did not like new people it was just I did not trust them. I felt like I had lost friends because of betrayal and mistrust that if I let anyone new in that they would do the same thing. I soon had to realize that, that was not the case because everyone is not alike. Also I realized that I did not want to be old with no friends at all and that I had to start trusting people again and becoming more social. So I have become more social and I talk to more people than I have ever talked to before. This year I even made a new best friend because I let that mistrust guard down and now I feel like I can trust her with anything.
Overall my whole entire life has changed. This past year I found out that I have a little sister and she has changed me a lot. Ever since I found out about my little sister I have tried to become a better

    I guess what changed my way, was when I moved out of my parents house. It completely changed me, and was a huge step towards my education and work ethic. Once you go out on your own, you have so many more things you have to keep track of, especially for me because I have never really done much work. There are so many things you need to do to maintain a house. It was hard at first but with time it became easier, and easier. It made me want to accomplish better things in life.…

    Away is a play written by the Australian playwright Michael Gow, published by Currency Press in 1986. First performed by the Griffin Theatre Company in 1986, it tells the story of three internally conflicted families holidaying on the coast for Christmas, 1968. It has become one of the most widely produced Australian plays of all time and is part of the Higher School Certificate syllabi or general High School Curriculum in many states, including Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. It is also used as a college text, but this move has been widely regarded as a bad idea due to the lack of interest that is generated from students in the Australian Capital Territory. This is especially the case when one considers the fact that Gow did not "know what play is about" until some time after he wrote it and got feedback from a fan. This fan was probably his reflection in the mirror.…

    For school, the thing that has changed was my grades have improved so that I was able to get principal's list. My life has changed because I have found out about my true friends and my “fake” friends. The ones that I know more outside of school are my true friends but the ones that I don’t talk to at all is different. This helped me change the way I look at people and kinda prejudge. But hopefully this habit will just go away with time.…

    4) A significant change in my life was moving away from my parents and my brother a couple months ago. I responded to this in a very mature way to give it my all and put effort on the sacrifice my family and I are making. I learned about myself that I can be responsible, organized and self motivated. I live with some close family friends and it’s not the same so that’s a really big challenge for me. Now I will appreciate the things my mom and dad tell me. I’ve learned a lot from being a…

    I think that by substituting the words “with religious freedom” for “under god” is a good thing to do. Like Gwen Wilde said in her essay “several millions Americans do not believe in God”. By changing the words “under God” to “with religious freedom” all citizens and new citizens can feel comfortable saying the Pledge of Allegiance.…

    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…

    The beginning of my freshman year in high school changed my life. I had set many types of goals for myself this year including making friends, helping others and being a part of the most incredible organization, Blue Guards. Blue Guards is apart of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at Oxon Hill High School. Blue Guards was not only a drill team, it was a family, a family of girls and boys working together, leading others, having discipline, and respecting each other as a team. Walking into the first day of school knowing I was going to be part of this team made me light up like a light bulb.…

    In high school, I was so nervous about driving that I did not receive my license until six months after my birthday. Even after I had my license, I would create reasons to have my parents transport me places. Now I am able to drive comfortably. I also have learned how to pump gas and use a credit card. Perhaps my biggest change in society is my understanding of how people view me. I can control the way people perceive me, and it is important to present the best version of myself. By being sloppy, you can harm job prospects or relationships without even knowing it. I now take into account the version of me I present to the…

    Something difficult I have gone through that changed me. Although, in the beginning it was extremely difficult to cope, I believe this experience changed me for the better. It has shaped me into the person I am today. Being the oldest of three in a broken family has forced me to become a role model, and taught me to take on large responsibilities. I learned how to use my independence for the better of my siblings. I learned how to cope with difficult people, I learned how to put on a happy face, I learned how to leave my family life at home. I learned how to be happy with my friends and at school. I learned how to smile through the day, ultimately being content with my life. I gained the strength to look at the pros and not the cons. This unfortunate situation has caused me to become a more positive person. If I could give one piece of advice to…

    The day I decided to change my life was the day I called upon the Lord. I was ready to take my precious life, in my room stretched against the wall with a knife in my hands ready to slit my wrist. I was crying intensely, and as I was trying to a Voice reminded me that I had 3 Boys who needed me , I started to cry and Called on Jesus to please help me. There is a point in life where we all decided to change many can find the way out. Others aren’t so fortunate; they never call upon the only one who can save their soul and life. My life hasn’t been easy there were many times in my life where I know the Lord was there to save me. Countless times I was in Near death Experiences where from My Car catching on Fire as I was driving, to Car Accidents where my Car flipped and thought I was never going to make it. Reality was I was headed down the wrong Road and all the while God was trying to catch my attention. Many times…
