Theperson I am today is due to those around me who have impacted me &have given me an example to lead by, they have also supported me todo all I have in order to get where I am now. These people have beenin my family at home as well as in my different environments in mycommunity such as; school, work, & after school activities. Thesedifferent settings have shaped me into the person I currently am &will impact me to become the person I strive to be in the future,they have taught me what it means to work hard, be dedicated, &be responsible.
Myhome life has molded my perception of the world, giving me adifferent outlook of life, teaching me gratitude & respect. At ayoung age my mother has always pushed to me the lesson of mannerisms,always explaining the importance of respect & how to be mindfulof others. It is her that has taught me to be aware to treat otherswith kindness due to not being able to identify others for all theyare or are going through. It is this valuable life lesson that hasmade me very observant & cautious today, causing me to be politetowards all. I feel that because of my mother’s advice &example, today I treat others as I would like to be treated & Iam able to recognize the feelings of others as well as relate &sympathize with them. This has fortunately made me a very relatableperson today & an easy friend for others to talk to in a time ofneed.
Otherenvironments that have shaped me are my after-school activities suchas theatre arts & dance. Both hobbies have taught me theimportance of dedication as I should be accountable for mycommitments. They have shown me how to be prompt in order to berespectful of my time as well as the time of others. Along with this,these activities have trained me to use my creativity as often aspossible as it is a quality to be appreciated for. After schoolinvolvement, such as those mentioned, have verified to me theimportance of an active mind & stance in our community as it notonly benefits you but others too.
Throughworking, due to the demand of attentiveness, I have gained not onlythe experience of a work place but also the quality of trueresponsibility. The responsibility of a business, dealing withcustomers, & dealing with the money of others has given me theinsight of pure reliability. The desire to not let down a customer,coworker, & especially boss only increases my responsibilitymaking me more trustworthy. Now learning how to be truthfullyresponsible, I better myself in work as I know how to be accountedfor in the present & future. Due to this characteristic, I havemore leverage in addition to experience for future work & taskthat I decide to have or that are assigned to me.
SinceI have been given the opportunity of being a part of the communitiesthat I have & learn from them, I have gained attributes that havemade me a preferable person. The gratitude for these environments, orthe people who are apart of them, cannot be expressed as I know theydo not only benefit me now, but they will also benefit me in thefuture. Thus, I hope that I will only use the lesson taught to mewith greater effort & discipline to get to where I want to be.
