Personal Narrative: I Am A Californian

I am a Californian. I am a family member. I am a friend. I am a student. I am a book lover. I am a music lover. I am shy. I am a dreamer. I am ambitious. I am smart. These are the top ten self concept aspects that represent me. I choose these aspects because these are the things that impacted my life the most or how I believe myself to be. For example, the most obvious one for me was that I am a Californian, I lived there most of my life and just recently moved to Splendora. However, I do still consider that my home because that is where I became who I am and it impacted my life the most. Also on that note, when I lived in California, I spent most of my time or vacations with my relatives, these people taught me important things I needed to
know and showed me the meaning of family, which is one of my aspects. Friends were also a big part of my life and still are now, they give me the confidence I need to be successful in what I do and I have memories I will never forget because of them. When I first enrolled in school it began a chain reaction that lead me thinking I can be more than I am, and showing me how hard-work is necessary, which is why school is a major self concept aspect for me. However, I believe the things I enjoy also tell me who I am. For example, music played a huge role in my life because it lets me see who I am, based on the genres I chose to listen to, the same for books. From those two things, books and music, I learned a lot about myself and who I really am. These experiences showed me that although I am shy when talking to people, I am a big dreamer and aspire for something more.And my ambition helps me achieve those goals. The last self concept aspect I chose was that I was smart. I chose this last because even though it is a part of who I am, I don’t think it is as big of a part as my other aspects.
