The Kind of Person I Want to Be…
very virtue in this book is necessary for life's journey, but it is how we all use these virtues that really matters. People tend to kid themselves and pretend like they know what they are doing. Do not be afraid to ask for help along the way

Emma Goljan, Notre Dame Academy, Worcester Massachusetts (USA)

In this day and age the media and popular magazines are telling teenage girls to be the prettiest with the shortest skirts and the cutest boyfriends. But in reality no one really has all these things.

The person I would like to become is a person who has more confidence in herself. From what I have found by doing this project, I do not have much confidence. I will personally say I do not find many good things about myself that others say are good. People say that I have a good life and I look back at them and wonder what is life without a strong realization in who you really are. The person I want to become is a person that can go up to someone and tell them exactly what is on their mind.

I want to look in the mirror and not wonder how I can improve. With all the hype of being the perfect girl it is tough to do this. Unfortunately I have not been able to live up to my expectations...yet. I hope that some day I will be perfectly accepting and stop worrying about what other people think and only care about what I think about myself. I just hope someday I can accept my personality and body and be happy with who I am as me, not who I wish I could be. It is a difficult process but I am coming to a solution and I am excited and yearning to see what life brings me in the future.

Elena Simoncini, Notre Dame Academy, Worcester Massachusetts (USA)

I want to be a good person with morals, honor, and integrity. I want to live by the values that my parents taught to me as a child, and the values that I hold to be important.

I would like to live by honesty, respect, compassion, and peacemaking. If you can be honest with yourself and with others you can be

    Personal Narrative: Who I Am

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. A question such as “who am I”? Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex person who thinks the world is against me, nor am I overly sophisticated “know-it-all” who doesn't take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can't say that I am like every other person because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing towards a brighter future.…

Through my involvement in school activities, like FCCLA and National Honors Society, I have seen the impact that a random act of kindness can do.

    I have chosen to work on my knowledge of self because it ties in to so many of the other defined leadership dimensions. Understanding who you are as a person is the foundation for any leadership action that is taken. In my post graduate career, I would like to become a serial entrepreneur. Successful entrepreneurs understand what their competencies are and find people that strengthen their weaknesses. A lack of understanding of my strengths and weaknesses may inhibit my success because I won’t understand the composition of competencies needed on my management team to get the job done.…

    Minnesota Honor Society Essay

    Integrity, respect, and a drive to make the world and people around you are essential parts as well. One of my favorite quotes is “Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.” - W. Clement Stone. I try to apply this quote to my life daily. Doing what is right, and facing things that scare you for the greater good are two things that I focus on. Respecting others is a silent way of showing value for others. By listening and encouraging others to share their thoughts, you honor their personal rights. Having a drive to make everything around you better is one of the most important qualities to me. I attempt to help the environment better by volunteering in trash cleanups, reducing my plastic use, and by being vegetarian. I help the people around me by sharing opportunities, explaining hard topics, and by supporting others in their endeavors. I make an effort to be the total student for myself, my peers, and my community. I should be considered for Minnesota Honor Society because I meet, and exceed the qualifications of a member. Thank you for this amazing…

    Personal Ethics Statement

    My personal code of ethics is Equality and Sensibility. I believe in a predictable system that assures the well-being of all, especially those without power, is a just system. As a wife, mother, nurse and a member of a community, I strive to do the best I can in every aspect of my life. As a mother, I strive to be a good role model to my children and teach them the fundamentals of life. I strive to be able to give a solid foundation and an easy path to life whether it be school, finding who they want to be as they grow older and for a productive future. As a nurse, I strive for equality of care for every patient and to be able to be their voice when they are not able to speak for themselves. As a member of the community, I strive to lend a hand for the needy and helpless. I speak for and ask help for them i.e. my neighbor, who leaves alone and has no family to be by her side.…

    Love Yourself

    Hey you! Yes, you. STOP being unhappy with yourself - you are perfect. Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, and your personality- LOVE THEM! Without those things you wouldn't be you and why would you want to be anyone else? Be confident with who you are! Smile(: For yourself. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself, say "Forget them!" My happiness will NOT depend on others anymore. I'm happy because I love who I am. I love my flaws. I love my imperfections. They make me me. And 'Me' is pretty amazing.…
