Before meeting them, I was somewhat of an introvert. I did not go out much, and stayed at home often. Meeting these people helped me branch out, and embrace the personality that I had yet to express. I became energized, from the energy that flowed from them to me. This energy started a chain reaction, and made me outgoing, and gave me a sense of confidence that was necessary to make even more friends. I became involved in a profusion of sports, clubs, and activities, that I would not of done without them. These activities have not only improved me physically, but mentally as well. They have broadened my horizons to understand others, help them, and interact with people who I wouldn't normally. “In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet.

When Harry attends Hogwarts for his first year Professor McGonagall tells the students as they arrive that, “any rule breaking” and they will lose house points (Columbus). Already the children have been warned of what will happen when they disregard the rules, but yet they continue to break them anyways. This could be because, when the students break the rules they are often rewarded points soon after for their acts of bravery. This message to the viewers shows that as long as you commit a heroic act it is okay if you break the rules or even the law and there will be no consequences. Professor McGonagall even ask Ron, Harry and Hermione “why is it when something happens it is always you three?”, this question proves that Harry and his friends continuously get into trouble (Yates). But what many might not realize is that rules are rooted in place for a reason and they are there so children do not get hurt. Harry puts himself in constant danger and he risks others’ lives. Though many might think that Harry’s friends will gladly stick by his side through thick and thin, they are still children who are not yet capable of making those extreme decisions. Harry’s rule breaking can also show children that the rules put into effect are not taken seriously by authoritative figures, so when a child breaks a law and finds themselves in
Three aspects of my personality are avoidant, high on conscientiousness and a high need for achievement. These personality characteristics were studied using different theories, the attachment theory, Big Five, and the motivational theory. Together, these aspects make me who I am. I am someone who is driven, hard working, disciplined, and has a hard time trusting and letting other people into my personal life. Everyone has their different personality traits which make them unique, and that’s the beauty of humans. No one is exactly like anyone
There’s a few consequences for misbehaving but the parents have an attitude that they are disobeying because they are kids. Permissive parents may be more of a friend to their children more than a parent because they encourage their children to talk with them about their issues and concerns but not much about their bad behaviors. These children tend to grow up struggling with their grades, and have social problems due to their insecurities. In adulthood, they are most likely to have low self-esteem and be sad most of the
Whenever I disobeyed the rules as a little kid my grandparents usually did the disciplining. If I were to call another kid a name or talk back to my mom I would get a spank on the bottom and put in the corner. I can still recall multiple times that I stood in the corner with my nose pressed up against the wall not moving or saying a single word. As I got older my mother did more and more of the disciplining herself. I found myself sitting in
I have positive attributes and weaknesses as everyone else does. However, since I came from Peru to America, I experienced many changes in my personality from a shy girl to an independent, outgoing and friendly teenager. My strongest personal attributes are generosity, my spirit of collaboration and my perseverance to achieve any goals and overcome obstacles in my life. For example, when I was in Peru I used to go to a hospital to help children with disabilities. I used to visit them very often. I played with them so that they could forget for a while about their sickness. At the time I could make them happy and they enjoyed a nice moment getting to know me. By helping them, I felt a great satisfaction with myself.
Personality features define who I am. One of my strong personality traits that I have is friendliness. Even though other people are unfriendly and unwelcome toward me, I show kindness to them. A popular saying, “Treat others as you would like to be treated,” fits this type of trait and that is how I want to live by. Another personality feature I am strong in is giving. Giving resources like time and money give me self-satisfaction. Knowing I played a part in someone’s life is fulfilling. Volunteering my time at Relay for Life, sponsored by American Cancer Society, was a fun experience. The event was from sunset to sunrise. The darkness represented the cancer. Throughout the night, I was walking around the track. Sunrise represented a new hope and winning the battle against cancer.
Have you ever gone against your parents rules? There have been times in my life that I didn’t listen to my parents. For example, one time I invited some friends over for the night and we were really bored so we decided to sneak out and go meet up with some other friends of ours. Even though my mom said don’t leave the house we decided to anyway. We got home around 3:00am and my mom woke up when we were coming inside, she was very disappointed that we didn’t listen to her. Not only did I make a bad decision, but in the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Friar Laurance also made bad decisions. There was a feud between two families the Capulets and the Montagues. The feud went on for years, then it got to the point that they were sword fighting each other trying to kill one another. The fight did not need to go that far, but it did and people ended up dying. The Capulets and
Although I am only sixteen years old and in the eleventh grade of high school, many things have influenced me and caused me to be the person that I am today. I hope that these things will continue to help me be a better person and influence me as my life continues. Some of the things that have influenced me have been church, my family, my friends, and school.

The character traits which I possess have opened many doors for me as I have transitioned into young adulthood.

My own determination is what I depend on when I have no other option but to rely on myself. This character trait is my most admirable because it got me

I show my compassion by helping others if they need help; like helping grading papers for a teacher or putting things away or organizing things for them. I also try to help my peers with things they may need help with. I also show this by empathizing with my peers when they go through hard times. I show my energetic nature by getting excited easily and always being in a good mood.
While thinking about what helped me grow as a person, I decided to go with something that literally helped me grow as a person. Being scared of needles my entire life, I was immediately traumatized by the introduction of Human Growth Hormones into my life. Learning that I would need to take hormones to become ‘normal’ and like everyone else was not an easy decision. Until then I hadn’t realized just how much short stature had affected me, my confidence, my motivation, and my drive. It was a big decision to overcome the ease of the status quo. Starting off at 4’11’’ and finishing at 5’4’’ my height and my life was very much affected. Despite my fear of needles and blood, I agreed to subject myself to horrible injections every day. And I am so glad I did because if I hadn’t I might have never overcome my fears.
