Recommended: Social interaction and influence

Anyone who has every really hung out with me or has known me will tell you that I am actually a very humble person and I really mind my own business unless something involves me, then I go and take action into the situation. I don’t really like to shine I like to stay back and and follow up bigger and better than most. I like to advance psychological form so then I can better others with my superior mind set. I sometimes act and seem as if I do not know much or as if I am not as intelligent as I seem. I very much only do so to hide my true potential so then once I unleash it I leave them flabbergasted and put them at a very low disadvantage. Most people see me and just don’t even think twice about gazing their eye upon me and ponder about who …show more content…

Given the chance I can easily surprise others and show them how mentally enhanced I am compared to them. Now you’re probably reading this and thinking “ oh this kid is dumb he doesn’t know what he is talking about” but see that’s where you are wrong I have taught myself how to disassemble a whole computer and put it back together again without having any errors, I have educated myself on the philosophy of life and have questioned many things about religion and some of nature’s ways leaving those who I have shared with in aw. Anyone of my family members will tell you I am very intelligent and that they can not even think of how far I can actually enhance my mind. No one really expects much from me because I’m just some mexican from Mexico. A lot has happened in my life to shape and make me into the person I am today, most of it is rather sad and depressing, but I don’t really let it hold me down. My life has really been a roller coaster ride but more like those roller coasters that go extremely high up and then go straight down on a very steep rail plummeting toward the ground at a very speed to where you really do think you’re gonna

  • Narrative Essay About Moving From Mexico

    1126 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being so naïve about the country I came from being influenced by the way other people look at Mexico made me ashamed of who I was. Even taking it as far as dreading the color of my skin and despising the blood that ran through my veins. Not knowing of course that blood and the way I am and look is what ties me to my ancestors and my future family. Now, having the ability to block out the unnecessary opinions of outsiders and finally having the courage to love myself and my roots; I’m able to fill my own head with information. Learning from how people in Mexico treated the land like a part a part of themselves, I decided that I’m as important as the seasonal fruits, as intricate as el mole, sweet life the pineapple, and as bright and persuading as the sunflower. For the first time everything I see and am is as beautiful as it should be.

    I was scared and really shy. I have always felt like people will judge me if I act dumb or if I mess up, even to this day, I sometimes find myself feeling self-conscious. This is because people’s opinions regarding me are very important to me. I have a dependant personality. Relationships are very important. I want people to like me, if they don’t like me it may mean that I’m doing something wrong. Of course I know the false in this thinking, but I still have these thoughts. This is a barrier and a weakness that I have to overcome.

  • Self-Acceptance and Personal Ideals: Journey Beyond High School

    731 Words  | 2 Pages

    What’s important to me is being the best me that I can. To not be told I’m wrong, just to conform to those around me. Am I just a carbon copy of what people want? If I am not being true to myself, then what am I? Acceptance for who I am is both equally important and desirable to me. Just because I look different from the norm, does not mean that I will act any less civil towards anyone or anything. Why should I be something I am not just to make others happy and myself miserable? It is my hope to meet others with similar interests as myself in the near future, because I did not have that much in common with anyone in high school. High school limited my opportunities to interact with people like me.

  • Descriptive Essay On Who Are You

    858 Words  | 2 Pages

    Three words that I would use to describe myself are indecisive, calm, and considerate of other’s feelings. I would say I am very indecisive because it can be hard for me to make choices. A lot of the times I cannot decide because, I do not want to choose between something, I am indifferent about the options, I do not know what I want, or I know what I am leaning towards but I do not want to vocalize it. For these reasons I had a hard time deciding what to major in. Eventually I chose psychology because it was just something that was always in the back of my mind. Now I am having a difficult time deciding what I want to study once I get my bachelors. However, I do not only struggle with major life decisions. Whenever I get asked

  • First Impressions Of Myself Essay

    1026 Words  | 3 Pages

    1. I had several early impressions of self. Sometimes I feel like I cannot control my words or actions as if they were out of my control. I believe this happens to everyone. For example, sometimes we do or say something that we regret. My guess is we try to think before we speak, but that is not always the case. For the last several years, I have been trying to understand and take control of what happens, and I failed so I blame myself. That causes me to have low self-esteem. In addition, I feel like I am not playing this correctly. Yet I understand that there is a balance between good and bad. Recently, I discovered that I am a multipotentialite. Before, I could not understand myself. I had an interest in one thing after another. For example, I would try programming a software for my computer. Then I would

    Even now, whenever I meet somebody, I question whether they really like me. I'm extremely critical of myself . . . I have really high, sometimes unrealistic expectations, and I think a lot of that comes from pageants.
