Profile Essay Being the oldest of seven, my mom had the responsibility of caring and looking after her siblings. Growing up her mom had left them at a very young age and did not come back for a while. She had to act as a parent to her siblings and also work to help her dad be a single parent to seven kids.

Growing up she has always dreamt of being a hairdresser and as she got older she made that dream come true. For four years she went to Tri-County Vocational Technical High School where she took classes to become a hairdresser. In 1988 she graduated with a degree in hairdressing where she then pursued her dream job at Flair Cut. Through all the hard work and class she had to go through, she enjoyed the fact that she could finally be herself. She always talks about how much she loves her job. How happy she is to work with her best friend and how amazing her boss is. I can only imagine how it must feel to make people happy and feel so good and beautiful.

  • Personal Personality Essay

    1831 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the day to day life, experiences and connections are made. Many things that occur in one’s life can all stem from their individual personality, but interpreting how one’s personality guides their life presents a difficult challenge. Many actions, quirks, and patterns that a person has are easily noted due to the ability to see it, but the puppeteer behind these habits is an individual’s personality. A certain personality type can affect the perception of certain events and the reactions/feelings to certain outcomes. While one person might see a situation as dreadful, another may see it entirely different. We tend to find ourselves side by side with people we see similarities between due to a parallel in certain traits, but no two individuals are exactly the same based on differences in personality. Success is hinged on many things and one of those things is the development of self-awareness. To know oneself is key to tackling on intimidating tasks and situations, but to also grow in terms of knowledge and synergy. In my attempt to

    What comes to mind when you think of a high school? For many of us, something in the ballpark of children sitting behind a desk, writing papers, and listening to teachers talk all day. MC2STEM is not your traditional high school. STEM was created through a public-private partnership among numerous organizations, with the intention of providing students with an integrated curriculum that is informed by real-world experiences. The student body makeup alone proves it not a typically high school as its no larger than 400 students.

  • Essay On Personal Personality Profile

    1094 Words  | 3 Pages

    My conformed profile is Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling and Perceiving (INFP). It is not easy to describe myself as I cannot see my person from outside but better still I am the one that knows me very well than anyone else. Based on my conformed type I am going to describe myself as detailed as I can. As I said earlier I have preference for intraverting, intuition, feeling and perceiving. Mostly people with such personality are referred to as “Mediators” and/or “Idealists”. This is true because I am the type that looks for the good in anything or any person no matter how bad it is. Other researchers also refer to the INFPs as “Dreamers” because of their wonder nature; they never stopped being fascinated. Having preference for INFP means that in business, and in school I am calm, reserved and because of that my colleagues

    My mom was a super-mom. She drove carpool, was always apart of every booster club and was the leader of every classroom party that I can remember. She encouraged me to do everything that I wanted to do. She made sure that I got everything I wanted. None of that would have been possible if my dad didnt work. While it felt like he was always gone, he was just doing what he had to do to make sure that my mom and I could live a comfortable life. Of course he took off every chance he could so come watch me at one of my games or help me practice in the back yard. If I didn 't have them I would have nothing. They are the ones who supported all of my decisions and made me feel better about trying new things. Without them I would not be the person I am. Not only would life without my parents would be drastically different but also without my siblings. Like I said before, they were my best friends growing up.

I was obligated to feed them, give them baths, and put clothes on them.
