Who Am I In English 121 Analysis
Who am I and why am I in English 121? To get things started I'm in English 121 because I tested high enough to be that's why . In English 121 I will massively improve my vocabulary. Sophisticated words are exciting and fun to use, but only if you know what they mean.I may think I know the meaning of sophisticated words, but in reality I only sound unintelligent to the educated . Another thing I wish to accomplish is improving my spelling and punctuation. Spelling is honestly the scariest part of writing for me. One of the things I enjoy about writing is there is no boundaries. I can say what I want on paper and it may offend some, others might actually find it tasteful and hard to discard.

Who am I? well I can give you the basics: a …show more content…
I had a very abusive and controlling mother. I was Removed from her custody by the state and was relocated with my father, That wasn't the best because he dropped me back off at my mothers because he didn't want me. He has a new life with a different family But, he dropped me off without notifying the state and I was forced to live through this nightmare with no chance of awakening. I later took the given opportunity to live with a friends mom and life was good until the support money was gone and ended up back at square one, My mom's. At the age of 16 I ran away and was a runaway for 8 months. when I was found I was transitioned into an abused and battered teen home called Gemini. Shortly after arriving to Gemini I was enrolled in job corps and graduated the program with trade papers and a diploma(GED) at age 18. I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression at age 22. I am currently medicated for Anxiety and Depression because of my childhood experiences .I've spent the last 5 years learning myself and keeping myself functioning I have came to the conclusion, I am not ok with a mediocre life. I am a strong individual and have so much more potential than just letting life fly-by. Who am I ? I have become who I am in the present because of who I was in the past. Any number of things could have changed the path I traveled, but I am strong, independent , and strive for what I want. I am Symantha

    Personal Narrative: My High School Career

    I always thought my parents were a strong couple, that their love would prosper against all. But I guess my dad found out my mother wasn’t the same either because my parents decided to get a divorce. I’m not sure exactly when but I slowly started to develop depression, I couldn’t take it anymore. I quit my job, school was a far off thought, I just gave up. I regret how much I let it take over my life because now it’s hurting me more than I would have ever thought, my future. I now know no matter what, I have to keep pushing my limits instead of letting them push me. I am determined to make necessary steps to improve every aspect of my…

    CJA 374 Week 4 Homework Juvenile Justice Systems and Processes

    Wondering what is going to happen with my life at this point. For a few years now I have been involved with the wrong crowds and keep getting in trouble for different crimes. I love my mom very much and we are very close but even she has attempted to always teach me right from wrong, even if it involves reporting me to the police. I can’t and don’t blame her for doing that, but I just feel kind of lost at this point in my life. I have dropped out of school against my mother’s wishes. My father isn’t around, so his opinion doesn’t matter. Mom works two jobs to provide for her and I, while I go out and cause trouble.…

    The Color Purple Monologue

    After having the heart to heart with my mother, I realized I needed to make some life changes. I started by surrounding myself with positive people. I need to be around those who had ambitions. The friends I used to keep were more worried about social and boys that their education came last. Also decided to hang around people who looked like me. It is hard for people to understand the shame I felt about myself if they haven’t gone through it. I needed to be around those who had felt the same shame but have prospered because of it. It sparked curiosity in me to learn more about my…

    English 111 Objective

    I believe that the major objective of English 111 is to practice different substantial skills that will help you increase your writing abilities. These skills will prepare students when they’re expressing thoughts, feelings, viewpoints, and information orally or on paper. In my opinion, the most important central concept communicated in the syllabus is the Course Schedule. I will constantly be marking off the assignments that I have already completed so that I know which ones I have left to complete. It’s extremely important to be well organized and to always keep up with when the work is due. If you get too far behind, it’ll end up being too much work to catch up on. Being proficient is key to success in this class. The only question that…

    Answer: instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her. At the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying even though even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. So instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average chararistics with his special love for her.…

    Reflection On English 111

    English 111 is the first college English class I have taken, but despite that I feel I would be able to bring a lot into this class. First of all, I enjoy writing and reading, so I am enthusiastic about my work. I love to learn, which means reading textbooks is not a problem for me (especially ones on grammar; I own a few of those myself). When I write, I try to be as objective as I can, and although I may have opinions I find that I can easily put those aside to write an unbiased essay. However, when writing a persuasive paper, I am able to fully support the cause I am writing about, whether or not I truly agree with it. Lastly, I am a helpful person and often one who is called on to assist my peers when necessary. I am a quick leaner and take good notes, so helping others is often an easy task for me, but when I cannot be of assistance, I do my best to help them find someone who will help.…

    Personal Narrative: I Am Proud To Be A Native American

    First off, I was born in Gallup, New Mexico in the McKinley County Indian Hospital, in 1976, to a half Zuni/Spanish native, and a Hispanic Apache mother, and growing up I saw and suffered a lot of abuse, and a very unstable youth. My father and mother divorced when I was a baby, and my stepfather was very abusive, to me and my mother for many years, until he was arrested for killing my mother's best friend. After that, I saw the effect that abuse had on my mother, and she became a victim of drug and alcohol addiction, so eventually my little brother, sisters, and I was taking into Child Protective Custody. We were separated at first, and I had a few good foster parents, and a couple really evil ones, but eventually I was placed with a family who allowed us all to be…

    -Grendel killed 30 men in his first attack, and who knows how many in subsequent attacks. He terrorized the Danes for 12 years, robbing them of Heorot which represented home, royal might, and safety. Finally, he attacked Beowulf and his men with the intent to murder them. Since he murdered dozens of men with no provocation, and showed every indication that he meant to continue doing so, I believe his death was justified.…

    TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY

    Most of the time of my life since I was thirteen I told my therapist about everything but he never understood my problems so I stopped going and I handled it on my own. I knew my mother and father were too guilty to be ashamed so I consider them to be guilty all the same. At times I feel that they think I’m invisible and when I’m older I don’t want to see anyone for a long time, I play over and over again in my head my dad’s voice telling me that I will be a “failure” so if I don’t graduate high school I have a plan, I will live off the grid and live my life as a…

    English 111 is a transfer credit for me. After obtaining my associates degree in Math and Science/Pre-Engineering, I will be transferring to a four year college to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Engineering. I hope to transfer to Northern Kentucky University where I originally attended college. The reason I hope to go back to this school is because it is near where my child lives and I would like to be a big part of his life. The reason I am in Michigan is because this is where my mother and step-dad reside. These are the people helping me through school to set me on the straight and narrow.…

    Who I am paper

    According to the assessment, my highest score of 34 was in the category Artistic, next was Social with 32 and my last 2 categories tied at 11 in the categories Investment, and Enterprise(National Center for O*NET Development). In tying this into my Job zone assessment, my results show that I am willing to add more education in order to have a specific career. By choosing to add more to my education, I found my top career choices to be a Mental Health counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Counseling Psychologist(National Center for O*NET Development). This does not surprise me considering I have been pursuing a career in mental health. It is a good exercise to keep your plan in focus. This is important because as many career-counseling theorists suggest, a career path can often change as life changes (Niles and Bowlsbey, 2013).…

    I then went into a group home called Rainbow of Hope. I don’t think I had much hope at that time. I spent 11 months in Rainbow of Hope, then I went to therapeutic foster care. I went to Ms. Patrice’s house. I hated her, she was a despicable human being. I then admitted myself into the hospital because it was better than being with her. I waited a month in Friends hospital in Philadelphia. I had gone to live with Mr. and Mrs. Rowe and their two sons. I liked them but I felt they betrayed me. They made me leave their home and told me that when I was in school. I was devastated but then I was moved to Ms. Linda’s. She was so kind to me, it was refreshing. But due to my behavior and being moved so often. I was forced into another group home, Stepping Stones. Finally, on February 13, 2013 I went home to my mom. Currently, I’m stable and have been for the past two years. I still struggle with depression and anxiety. I am taking steps towards my future. I plan to help people like me. I don’t have time for the what ifs and what could’ve been anymore. I am happy with the progress I have made. I am not defined only by my past but my future. I aspire to understand people like me but other struggles as…

    Sociology and Life

    The older I become the more I clearly feel life is beginning to make sense. Looking back at my childhood I feel as I was living life all while being contained. I was born in Texas and raised in Indiana, in a town where speaking Spanish was not permitted and no one spoke of differences. I grew up in what is considered middle-upper class society. My family values were dictated to me as if it was a pattern being cut out and these were rules I was to follow or I would not be recognized as “famila”. As I got older this caused me to developed many emotional issues. I suffer from depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I concealed who I truly was in order to fit in to Social acceptance of Race and Gender. I married at sixteen and was fortunate I married into family who was wealthy and patient enough so that I could seek out the best medical assistance and educational assistance to aid me.
