Personal Narrative: Who Am I
Who am I? That has always been an essential question for as long as I can remember. I never really understood why we had to answer that question along the way, but I’m now a senior at SJPII and I still have no idea who I am. It really bothers me that for 16 years I still haven’t figured out who I am. Constantly going from class to class and making new friends I still can’t pin point who the “real” me is.
I stared and stared until I finally thought of a good idea. “Who am I really?” That was a question that I was trying to answer. While trying to haul all my thoughts and words on this page quickly I finally knew what to say and how to say it. My personality and character are two important features that make me who I am. I am an individual.

    Personal Narrative About My Identity

    When someone asks me about my identity I usually do not know what to say. Probably because no one asks me about my identity. It has taken me many years to get to where I am now and I am still trying to improve myself and find myself. However, in seventh grade I met someone who changed my life forever and is the reason I had even tried to find myself. Due to this person entering in my life, I now have someone else who is the reason that I try to better myself and find all of my identity. This poster points out a lot of key points over the time it took me to find myself, when I did not even know I was missing.…

    When I was assigned this assignment I was skeptical, but this assignment really helped me understand myself. There wasn't much information to go off of besides, show who you are, so this is who I am. This picture displays me hanging from a tree, with water behind me, and it's featuring my BYU hoodie.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Background

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

    Journey of Self Discovery

    Self discovery was a process I thought I had already been through. But when faced with the question, “Who am I?” it proved to be a lot harder to put into words than one would think. I believe that I have a good sense of who I am, but translating it into words was a struggle for me. I consider myself to be a very concrete thinker. So, the translation of who I am into words tended to come out as cold and rigid. Words like brash, concrete, smart, and loyal seemed like a big “thud” on paper. At first I thought, am I really that boring and cold? Which then brings to question, is this really who I am? The following is my best attempt to put myself into words.…

    Personal Narrative: Why I Am Here

    Here I am in honor classes, but why I’m not smart enough to be here. This is going to be too difficult for me. All I see when I look around are all these outstandingly intelligent people. The only reason I am here is because Mrs. Lee’s class was straightforward or maybe the other people in that class were not very bright. Whatever the reason, I am here and already homework on the first day of school, the other kids probably don’t have homework. I really don’t want to be here, I want to be the smart one again. I feel strange and uncomfortable when I have to speak out loud like if the people around me are judging me.…

    Personal Narrative: My Search For Myself

    I often find myself walking around the house looking for the sunglasses that are on my head, or the keys that are in my pocket, or the pen I put behind my ear. I had what I needed the whole time I was looking. I wonder how I do that in things beyond the “missing” object. Searching for joy that it’s in the things around me; searching for growth that is taking place; searching for skills I already have; searching for confidence that’s there if I will grab it; searching for more when I have what I need. Like the moment I realize that the sunglasses I’ve looking for have been on my head the whole time, I want to see what I already have. I find I have what I’ve been searching for all along.…

    The Best Personal Experience

    Everyone have experiences in their life. These experiences could be the incidents which was happened in someone else life or in our life. Some people learn lessons from their experiences and some experiences change the peoples life automatically. Who am I? is my best personal experience I have ever had in my life . During all of my primary school times, I seemed as if I were hiding behind a mask. When I was at home I was a totally different person. At school I was trying to be a person who could fit in, but the more I tried the more it didn’t seem to work. Everywhere I went I would censor what I said depending on my surroundings and the people that were with me. Most of the time I would not say anything at all because I was afraid of being embarrassed. I would always have to change my mode when different people were around me. It was horrible; I hated it. I was getting sick and tired of always being someone I was not.…

    who am i

    George Bernard Shaw once said “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” A question such as “who am I?” really helps to distinguish and express who I actually am and who I desire to be. I am not someone who commonly waits till the last second to achieve something. I am a hard worker and I plan for my future along the way with help from my family and friends who guide me in the right direction.…

    Personal Narrative: What Makes Me Who I Am

    Picking out things that shaped who are can be difficult to decide on. More often than not, several things played into it throughout the space of your entire life. For example, my family has been a huge part of making me who I am, but since they have always been there, I would not exactly call them a life changing event. Rather, I’d call them a part of who I am, because when they are affected, then I am affected, and vice versa. So, when I take out all the fluff and the additional smaller events, I was left with these special occasions. My life has been shaped by three major events which are moving from Nampa to Idaho Falls, the schools I went to and the friends I made there, and making the basketball team.…

    Personal Narrative: Defining Myself

    I don’t know how to begin to define myself in order for you to understand who I truly am. I believe there is more to a person than stories that mould us into who we are today; like when one asks, “Tell me your story," I don’t think about that time when my family broke into two or that time I was diagnosed with my mental illnesses. I think of coffee, because coffee is bitter and bitter people drink coffee, sad people; people with heavy hearts and heavy footsteps, with tangled thoughts, people with anxiety and words left unspoken, people like me. Lonely people drink coffee. I think of the world map I have in my room with thumbtacks marking every country I want to visit. I think of foreign languages, and how beautiful it sounds when words form…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Characteristics

    My actions are always a direct showcase of my personal characteristics. A few that are particularly important are having patience, being non-judgmental, and thinking creatively. I learned a majority of my patience through my position as a research position. Research does not have immediate results; a good experiment takes time. My seemingly menial tasks, such as entering data, eventually contributed to the final product. I learned to be non-judgmental in my time shadowing an obstetrician, where I interacted with patients with so many stories. To judge them would cause a disservice, and potentially harm them. Finally, I learned to think creatively during my time at the Guild for Human Services. Each student was unique in his or her problems,…

    Personal Narrative: Who Am I?

    My story beings like any other, at the moment I took my first breath on July 30th 1998 in Bilisht, Albania. I was born in a small town in the lower region of Albania where my entire family lived with my grandparents under one household. My parents soon came to the realization that the current living situation was incongruous for a new family, such as ours, to thrive. As the result, my parents chose to apply for the government program granting our family access to move into a completely new society with new laws, regulations, political aspects and that was tens of thousands of miles away. Our family, at that instant, had a struck of luck as my mother’s name was drawn for us to move to the greatest country the United States of America.…
