Essays on Myself

From childhood, it has been my dream to be a doctor and it has been a great source of pride in me to have been able to realise this dream in the last few years.  Furthermore, my professional medical experience has enabled me to realise that I am fascinated by the human heart and its inner-mechanics.  As a result, it is my honour to request that I be accepted on to the Cardiology Fellowship and I wish to do so in Canada as it is my understanding that its cardiology training is amongst the best in the world.

Personal Essay

Life achievements and success are determined by the number of hurdles an individual is able to jump. Academics is one such hurdle but with many challenges that require intelligence, wisdom, dedication and self motivation, among other aspects. It is the dream of each individual to obtain the highest possible achievement in academics. However, academic success requires one to systematically climb up a ladder from the lowest position and get promotion with each success in the preceding stages (Ehrenhaft, 2008).

I am applying to join the university with the above motivations in my mind. I will ...

When I was young, I was not the most socially active child one could come across. Being an only child, I mostly kept to myself, and was very shy. I was incredibly reticent to talk to my other classmates, and did not invest much in making friends with my peers, especially during my formative years. As time went by, I was able to make a few friends, but lacking transportation and living slightly further out of town than everyone else, I did not have the means to socialize as often as the rest of my classmates outside of school. ...

PERSONAL ASSESSMENT

For all the students in any learning institution there is always one suitable way in which learning appears easier. Among the styles used I found auditory the most suitable method as I got to understand whatever I was taught. Any explanations the teacher made on the course work in graphs, handouts and other notes given by the teacher, I realized it was easy to remember than when I read for myself. Moreover the teacher gave practical examples that are easier to relate to unlike those given in the books that are hypothetical. This way it ...

Introduction to time management
Time management is an important discipline for college students, as it helps to prioritize the activities in order of their importance and find balance between time spent with a family and time dedicated to school work. By applying time management techniques, it becomes a lot easier to finish your task on time.
Time management is “the process of scheduling and organization time to determine how much time is required to complete multiple direct and indirect tasks, and when such tasks are required. In education, examples of direct tasks consist of: reading assignments, homework assignments, projects, ...

Abstract

This personal statement identifies some of the key obstacles in my life, and outlines my hopes and aspirations for the future. My intention is to discuss what I have learned in life and explain how the pursuit of my education and the fulfillment of my dreams are, in truth, an extension of the lessons I have learned during my life.

When I was a young child, I was considered to be weak because my health was very poor. I was always told that my priority should be to become as healthy and strong as the other children; as a result, I used it as an excuse to not try as hard as I could have done. I always knew myself to be a bright child but managed to convince myself that because I was so weak, I was unable to work as hard as I could have done. That said, I always wanted to strive for me after watching ...

Objective: My objective is to prove myself an asset to the department and provide value addition to further its growth. It would not only act as a platform to augment my career growth but also provide me an opportunity to hone my skills, and to excel as an honest and trustworthy police officer, serving a great and diverse department with complete dedication and hardwork. Myself Duke Komsuwan, and mentioned below is my brief profile which includes my experience, achievements and vision.

Section 1: Personal assessment.

Learning style: I am comfortable learning as an individual or in a group. My learning style is quite flexible, often ranging from personal learning, group discussions, study groups, to research peer groups. I believe that with research, human beings can tackle almost any problem in their day-to-day activities. I therefore emphasize more on research work, be it in the field, library research or internet based research.

I was playing second base for the first in a game. This was my time to prove myself to others of what I am capable of. I searched for my parents in the bleachers, but they were nowhere to be found. “It wouldn’t be the first time that they didn’t show up. Concentrate”, I told myself. First pitch was already thrown, and it was a foul. I could feel the adrenaline pumping as I saw the batter get into position. I had to win this, not only for the team, but for myself. It was a fast pitch, but she hit it, straight to me. Out! I had caught the hit and everyone started cheering. I couldn’t believe what had happened. ...

My inspiriting thoughts

Each event that happens in a person’s life leaves some significant impact that helps him or her in future when subjected to a similar situation. However minor a situation might seem to be, there is always a consequence, whether positive or negative, in the lives of the people who experience it or are otherwise affected by the occasion. This, I have to admit from the outset otherwise my narration of a significant occasion in my life will not make an impact. I could argue that the situation I found myself in at this ...

People say that hindsight is 20/20; it is only after looking back at an event that we fully understand what happened and why it happened. However, there are many events in our lives that, even when we go over them repeatedly in our heads, we never fully comprehend their full effect on the way we think and feel. At the same time, we feel that an indelible mark on our identities, and recognize that they would be in our minds forever. For me, this is no less true than the first time I was beaten up at school.

In the modern world, women have become a very important part of the social, economic and political life in addition to the strong family positions that a woman holds in the society. This has been attributed to the efforts put towards the recognition of the women, their important activities and the great role they play in all aspects of the society. This began in the 1970s in the west, and soon became worldwide phenomena. The modern woman can therefore be recognized within her own society and beyond (Keber, 1998).

Despite these achievements, I myself ...

When I consider my long list of achievements throughout High School, it is extremely difficult to pick just one that I am most proud of. I chose to make the absolute best of my time in school and enjoyed a number of extra-curricular activities. I place a lot of importance upon these activities as I believe that school is as much about the social and emotional development of a young person as it is academically. That said; I pride myself on being a hard-working student who always gives their best at all ...

I have always been fascinated with complexity, especially in the world around me. The ways in which old organic structures can turn into entirely new ones through the simplest of chemical reactions was always something that I have held in great interest. This passion for the inner workings of chemistry led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the prestigious University of Chittagong in Bangladesh, after placing in the top 10% of the 100,000 students in my state for the University entrance test. I received my degree with honors (receiving a 3.45 GPA) ...

The first day of school is always filled with so much excitement as most of us get to reunite with our friends. During the holidays we all take holidays and this makes meeting up with friends almost impossible. Due to the long period we are away from each other and this first day of school is like a reunion. It was no different this year when schools re-opened I was very eager to meet my friends after the Christmas break. One of my friends had travelled to the Maasai Mara and I could not wait to hear all her ...

If I had to pick one of Haas’ four Defining Principles to discuss in relation to the way I’ve lived my life and how I plan to live the rest of it, it would have to be Beyond Yourself. People who live this principle tend to be masters of their own destiny, but in a way that facilitates the benefit of others besides themselves. Ethical and responsible behavior is their bread and butter, and they seek to lead their friends and allies into greener pastures, making sure that whatever decisions they make will work out in the long ...

There I was lying in my bed crying, “Why me?” “What is wrong with me?” “I wish I had a different family, I hate my life!”

My mom and father, Walley, were only fifteen when I was born. I was living with my grandmother before I was even a year old but was often passed back between her and my later divorced parents.

Being the only child at my grandmother’s, I got anything I wanted and this made my age mates envy me though they never knew how lonely I felt. My grandmother owned a liquor store in ...

Introduction

Psychology in the broader perspective can be argued as the critical examination and investigation of how the brain, intellect actually functions and operates. It also involves the study of the human conduct which is actually influenced by traditions, values, attitudes, ethics, persuasion and also other inherited or genetic factors found in the society. Additionally, psychology also involves the critical analysis of mental and other emotional processes usually experienced in the body. As a matter of fact, the ultimate goal of psychological analysis and examination as a subject is to help one develop the general appearance, ...

My name is Davide. Since my childhood I have been a very creative, hard-working and goal-directed person. I strongly believe that there is nothing in the world that cannot be achieved. My life theory is that one should struggle for all those things that can bring happiness and satisfaction to his/her life and make it worth living. Despite the statement that money makes the world go round, I am convinced that money means nothing without psychic income. That is why it is of vital importance for me to be fully satisfied with my job and get the best ...

As far as I remember myself, I have always been fascinated by the things that seem too usual and mundane for the majority of people, so they tend to overlook them – I mean the houses we live in, how they are constructed, how they look, how the skills of building them developed over time. After graduating from high school, I decided to further develop my connection with this subject by applying to an architecture department of a community college, where I managed to expand my knowledge and place it on a specialized theoretical foundation. ...

The dominant reason behind why I’ve decided to undertake an MA in International Studies is because I see that the world is ceasing to be a localised experience for the bulk of its populous and is, instead, a global municipal which requires a unique set of skills and knowledge than has previously not been needed.  My life’s goal is to try and make a difference in the world but, in order to be truly effective in this pursuit, I must first fully understand what the world needs and how best to meet those needs.  Whilst studying for my undergraduate degree, I focused my studies on race, culture, human relations and human rights and I hope to further enhance my comprehension of these through the completion of an MA in International Studies.

Very often when people find themselves in a tight corner they think that somebody is punishing them for their faults, and that the ‘black bar’ in their life will never come to an end. Nonetheless, each and every one of us should recall a saying “Every cloud has a silver lining”, which proves that even the worst misfortune either makes us stronger or gives us an invaluable experience, which does not but gives us strength to move on.
At first glance the story I am about to tell seems to be a jape, as the whole ...

Abstract

This paper will compare and contrast the three named novels: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Emma by Jane Austen, My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok as bildungromans – that is, novels about growing up. Each of the central characters – Emma, Huck and Asher – grow to maturity by the end of each novel, having struggled through various difficulties. The three novels were written at very different times and are set in very different societies, but they are linked by the growth and development of the central characters. This growth is moral, ...

In recent decades feminist critics have attempted to appropriate A Doll’s House as a feminist text, but they have been met with a barrage of criticism from some critics who prefer to stress other aspects of the play. In one sense to call it a feminist play is, of course, an anachronism, since the feminist movement did not begin until the late 1960s and early 70s, but, nonetheless, Nora’s abandonment of Torvald and her children at the end of the play can still be seen as ...

If one takes a precise look at all the professions he/ she will definitely notice that they are all intertwined with each other in one way or another. Undoubtedly, each and every profession is unique in its own way; every profession requires certain skills and knowledge, as well as strength, patience or resilience. First and foremost, it should be stated that almost all the jobs require communication with people, and even such professions as a medical employee and a baker, being absolutely different at the first glance, are very similar at the same time.
At the moment, being a ...

I clearly remember the very moment I realized how I would like to change my life to; the moment, which not only shocked me, but made me realize that my family is the most important thing I have; the moment when I realized that the life of my son was at stake. It happened in the middle of the night, when my deep and quiet sleep was interrupted by the tender but at the same time concerned voice of my son. He shocked my body lightly as he whispered these heart wrenching words: "Wake up!! Wake up! Something is ...

Personal History

I had a difficult start in life because I was born with physical disabilities. I was an extremely weak newborn and the doctors recommended a three-year stay in hospital for care and observation. The doctors were not very optimistic and even advised my mother against registering my birth with the government since they felt I was bound to die. I was eventually discharged from hospital by the age of four, and somewhat miraculously, after a few years I was able to live like a normal child. Yet, destiny would not allow me ...

This course has had a profound effect on my progression as a writer. There is a much more defined thought process behind my words now, and I have learnt to clarify my language through lessons in what sounds sharp and what doesn’t. I have discovered my passion for the critical analysis of texts through my developed understanding of various literary theories, and it has enabled me to get so much more pleasure from a novel, poem, play or short story. When the course began, I was unsure of ...

Law and justice is as much a part of who I am, as the air in my lungs and the blood in my veins: my Grandfather, Father and Sister are all lawyers and as such, I have never known a world where such matters have been on my mind and surrounding me. As an individual, I live my life by the law and respect every aspect of it: Lady Justice is my one true love. In the past, my endeavours to pursue such an education have been persistently accompanied by my past failures and I implore ...

A couple of months ago, I walked into our living room and told my wife of three years that I was leaving. This did not come as a surprise to her, and after three months, we had finalized all the divorce papers. The decision was however shocking and somewhat surprising to many of our friends who considered us destined hearts. Some time down the line, I still meet my friends who ask me what went wrong. The desire to give them a full account of what happened chocks me but the depth and ...

In this research paper on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House I will examine the play’s plot, central characters and themes and then provide an analysis of its production history and reception. It is a play that continues, through new productions, to engage audiences all over the world and the social dynamic between theater productions and social values is one that is full of interest and not without controversy. The very first production aroused controversy: Jaeger (p. 259) claims that “The close of A Doll’s House gave rise to ...

At the beginning of the play it rapidly becomes clear that Nora’s husband Torvald Helmer is very dominant and that he treats Nora like a child. It is interesting that this takes place at Christmas, a time devoted to the pleasing of children and a time of dreams and fantasy, for Nora is essentially trapped within a dream world where everything is safe and things are just how they should be. This is essentially because she relies upon her husband to protect her from the vagaries of the outside world with its harsh realities and ...

A few years ago, I thought that the woman that I was dating at the time was seeing someone else. She seemed distant and cold, and I never felt like she wanted to spend time with me. She would always seem to go out with her work friends, and I felt that she was getting too close to a particular male colleague of hers. However, when I went to confront her about the issue, I soon was informed that nothing had been going on, and that I was simply mistaken. They were just hanging out as friends, and she ...

As a modern day audience, for the most part, our reaction to a slave narrative is often one which fills us with remorse and regret. Frederick Douglass’ narrative concerning his quest for education and specifically, how to read and write, is an example of such an instance. As a white, middle-class person of the twenty-first century, it unsettles me and fills me with a deep-seated feeling of remorse for the actions of our ancestors.
Upon settling with the Auld family, Douglass began to learn how to read and write with the assistance of his Mistress. ...

Undoubtedly, goal setting is one of the most important processes in career, as well as in daily life. If one sets himself clear targets, he manages not only to reach them, but to learn much new and reach them with higher efficiency. When it comes to me, in each and every situation I try to identify what exactly I would like to reach and what kind of benefits I would like to finally get.
Speaking about my goals at Queen's University, there is a number of the most important and, I would say, essential ones. First and foremost, it ...

My dedication to being a successful student is something which has never faltered: I began my University life by studying Vocal Performance, changed to Biology and then changes again to Music Education. Some may see this as me being indecisive but I prefer to see it as me striving to find the subject which I feel comfortable and happy with. I have found that in studying Music.
Unfortunately, once I found myself feeling settled with my choice of subject, I was then forced to have to move across the country because my Husband and I made a Permanent Change ...
