Myself

When we were asked to write our autobiography, I

told myself that this not much of a task so I can do it the night
before the submission. But sitting by the computer and staring
at the screen without any idea of what to write proved me
wrong. This is suppose to be easy since what I’m going to write
is about something that is never lost nor forgotten, about me,
but then again, for more than ten years that I have been
studying, writing was never my cup of tea.

An introduction into who I am as an individual with

emotions and feelings is a hard one to make. My life is full of
meaningful relationships and memories. It is all about my
feelings, my pleasures, my happiness, and me. It is all about me
even when things have nothing to do with me. Any decision I
make in my life or any thing I do shall return some kind of
happiness or pleasure back to me. It is all about me because I
will not function normally any other way. I hate pain and
suffering and the only time I willingly put up with it is when I
obtain something back that makes me feel good about myself. I
am constantly thinking how to make myself happy. Do you
recognize me now?

I am an individual. I am my own person; a person who

makes mistakes, laughs, cries, hurts smiles and loves. I am who
I am through my joys, sorrows, heartbreaks, and happiness and
lose. Each step in my life and each moment that goes by make
me up as an individual person. Every experience in my life good
or bad, happy or sad makes me stronger. Each passing moment
is a new life experience for me and makes me grow into the
person I want to be. Day by day, hour by hour I take a new step
in my life, a step towards another, into a world full of
knowledge. Knowledge is all around me, waiting for me to learn
new things and process new information that will teach me
through life. I am a student throughout life, not just in the
classroom.

I am a person who makes many mistakes, but have

the courtesy to learn from them and not make them twice. I am
a person who laughs so hard that I have tears running down my
cheeks.

My personality and character are two important

features that make me who I am. Although I may have some
weaknesses in my character, I am basically the up beat type. I
try to be as happy as I can most of the time. Everyone cannot
please each other but if everyone pleases themselves and are
cheerful most of the time, I feel that it is a better start to
put your self in life.

Many things in life happen for a reason, many to

which don’t seem clear at certain time… Recently I experienced
a severe down point in my life, three things I noticed and
learned from it were: the fact that sometimes even the most
worst can happen and the best can form based from it, most
people don’t even appreciate the life that they have and are
living, and thirdly, you never realize what you have until your in
risk of loosing it/them or you have lost it/them.
 Being down or depressed comes with everyone’s
character at some point. When I come across this point in life,
it is one of my weak situations. When something happens that
hurts my feelings or makes me angry, the outcome is always
sadness. I let my emotions out but crying or keeping quiet to
myself. Depending on what the situation, the cause of my anger
and hurt stays on my mind for a long period of time.

I’ve slowly started to realize what I want in life and

who I am now in contrast to the person I was before. It’s
incredible to realize how much people (in this case, me) could
change over a short period of time.

There are many important people in my life. These

People give me inspiration, respect, help, and they keep me on
the right track. These people mean the most to me. These
people are my mother, my father, and my faithful brothers.

My mother is one of the very important people to

me. I have been mentioning her in almost all of the essays I
write. The problem is, I cannot really express how I feel about
her in just words. My mother is not my whole life, but she is a
really big part of it. My whole world does not only revolve
around her, but she is the most influential person who inspires
me. My mother is not just another woman. She is extraordinary.
She gives me the hope to go through life and make a
difference. She has a great job which makes me want to
overcome her greatness, and be extremely successful in my
later life. My mother feeds, clothes, and puts the roof over my
head. By doing my laundry every week she keeps me in the
cleanest of clothes so that I don’t look like a complete slob. My
Father is also very important to me. He works very hard for our
living. He is one of my inspirations in my studies.

When I am old enough to be out on my own, I think

that my mother is going to be very happy. I think that she is
going to very happy and proud of me because I have always
been a mother’s baby, meaning I never go anywhere far without
my mamma, never stay anywhere too long with out her. My
mother is my best friend so it would be really hard to live
without her right there with me. I am kind of ready to be out
on my own, but I really don’t want the responsibility of living on
my own. Like spending my own money on food, and paying for
bills. I intend to be successful, but the question I will ask
myself, is how? My answer to that would be hard work and
dedication, something I need to understand as I’m taking it a
bit easy at the moment. This is how I plan my life.

I think surviving high school is just coming out of it

known you are who you want to be, and that’s what I did. High
school wasn’t always like this. Things have changed and so have
the kids. That is my greatest accomplishment. I learned what’s
important, and I know what I want to be.

Today, I am a whole new person with a brand new

mind. I have got goals and a sense of directions. I know what I
want and I am doing what I can to get there. I tend to be more
practical now than I was before about life. The memories of
past helped me direct the ways on my life.
 Writing this essay helped me to differentiate the
difference between the old and new me. This gave me the view
that before you think and look others, you should know your
self.
