Hard worker, good work ethic, one of six children, five-sport athlete, leader.
These are all words that explain who I am, and what I have become the past eighteen years of my life. Growing up, it has been my family and school community that have implemented many values in me.
Whether it be sharing every toy I want to play with, wearing hand-me-downs all the time, or always being called by my sibling's name, having five siblings is my norm. Due to the fact that my siblings and I have gone to a private catholic school for most of our lives, my parents have had to work multiple jobs to be able to pay for the tuition. This has made me personally grateful for the school I attend, and for the hard work my parents put forth for our large family. Regretfully, I

Thus as a senior, my eyes have been greatly opened to what is important in my life. I have realized that my family has played a huge role in forming who I am. Looking back, I regret not spending more time with them because now I am too busy with applying to college, keeping up with my school work, and working my two jobs. Most definitely, these people have formed me into who I am today.
Outside of my family environment, my school community has also shaped me into the young Catholic woman I am today. Like I mentioned earlier, I have been fortunate enough to attend the same private catholic school my entire life. Due to this fact, I have been with pretty much the same group of people in my class since kindergarten. These people, whom I consider my family, have definitely made me who I am today. My school has shown me how lucky I am to be a Catholic and has made me grateful to be able to attend mass and confessions every week.
Over the years, my teachers and coaches also have helped me shape into someone with integrity, compassion, a hard work ethic, and charity. Although I have had numerous coaches and teachers, I have been able to carry on
Mary I have grown academically. Students come to school and learn so much. We learn skills and lessons that prepare us not only for high school or college but for the rest of our lives. We learn all these things from our teachers. Our teachers care about each one of us and want us to do well. They work very hard so that we can have the education we do. They also strive to be good role models for their students. They set a good example and teach us good values. We are taught how to treat people with love and respect. What's so amazing is that not only are we taught these values but you can see the students acting on these values everyday. For example, when we went to the Camp Duncan retreat we participated in some activities that taught us some about what it means to be Christian and how we should build each other up instead of tearing people down. After these activities you could see everyone being really nice to eachother, people talking to people they usually don’t, and just using what we had learned that day. It’s so amazing to see all the ways God works in our
-Family. My family keeps me grounded. The importance of family allows me to balance work and take the necessary time away to spend it with my loved ones. Balancing professional and personal time puts everything into perspective and recharges my
My life started in the womb of a young, loving mother with an equally young, loving father. I was born in Clark County, Indiana. Even when I was young, my family was huge on education. My grandfather especially helped form my yearning for knowledge. He would play educational games with me from popping balloons if I chose the correct color to giving me candy if a counted the correct number in his hand. Of course, my other family members helped as well, but his constant care and insistence ingrained a love for learning.
I love the feeling I get every time I step into the youth room at my church. It’s a reassuring feeling that, no matter what I’ve been through during the day, everything is going to be just fine. I grew up knowing that God was in control of my life and He has a plan for me. I know that I can rely on Him for everything. Walking into the youth room Wednesday nights serve as a sweet reminder that I’m supposed to be here, doing what I’m doing.
how to take control of my life and turn it around even if my mom wouldn’t be there to help, I had to learn to be more responsible and do things on my own.
It necessarily wasn't important things, but little things in life that my dad would just help me with when he was around. Without my dad i had to practice baseball on my own, i had to do my homework on my own. Things like that my dad was always there to help me for i had to figure out by myself now. My mom and sibling were to busy with their own problems it was hard for them to help me as well.
...hit with being on my own for the first time, being in a new city and being in college rather than high school, I was able to stay in a comfortable place while I made the transition to college. I am so thankful that I have my family, because without them, none of these things would have been possible at all. It is very easy to say that the decisions they made for me as a young child shaped my values as well as my self concept. All three of the concepts that I chose intertwine in some way. My primary group is what virtually started my value system. And without being brought up the way that I was by my parents, I would have never had the same concept of self. They have always built me up instead of tearing me down which is vital in a child's as well as an adult's life. I really am thankful for where I'm at and it's rather interesting to see how far I've come to get here.
From the death of my father, the influences of my loving grandparents, to the births of my own children. The hardships that I have been through and the love from people all around me have shaped me into who I am today.

In my short 16 years there have been many experiences I have encountered in life that shape who I am. My identity today. As time has passed experiences have come one after another for me to learn. What has shaped me influenced me in this short time period are many things the topic around this lies around my social construct. I am a lot of things, I am someone who looks as a shy, quite, smart, nice etc. person. Those simple qualities that make who I am have been influenced upon me and in general just who I am. What has shaped me present day is my family structure and my education the most to shape my identity.
During my life, I have learned many things that I’m either expected to do or know. My family and friends have impacted my life in multiple ways that have shaped me as a person over time. These values that my family has taught me has made me the person I am today and most likely the person I will be for the rest of my life.
In college, everyone tells you to pick a major that will lead to a career that you can love. They say find something that challenges you, fulfills you, and is something that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. While that sentence is daunting enough, the actual task of discovering such a major or career is even more difficult. Most individuals discover that a lot of factors and variables go into making this decision. I know when I was trying to decide on my own major I had just this experience. The first major that I explored was engineering and that last about two months. I then switched to business, then aviation, and then back to business. Luckily for me, I was able to experience and explore a lot of different majors without getting

A lot of different things can impact a person’s life in such a way that it is unforgettable. For example, it could be the time you took a hike up a towering mountain and ended up getting peaceful view of the urban cityscape, or even the time you went to your first dreadful sleepover and were trembling with fear. It could even be person or multiple people such as friends, siblings, teachers, and even mentors. Personally, my family has been the people that have ultimately had the most influence on me as an individual. Family can vary from person to person, but for me it is the absolute most important thing I have. The people that have had a profound impact on me is my family; the way that different personalities all come together as one, the way they handle hard situations, and the closeness I have with the, is very inspiring to me.
