My Attitude Essay

Improved Essays
When I was in middle school and the beginning of my high school years, my attitude was horrible. For a fact, I know that I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am more considerate and caring. I usually just go about my days worrying about myself. I am also more social. My freshman year of college, I just went to class and went to my room. I did not participate in any activities. Now, I actually participate in the activities and attend the events that they have on campus, and sometimes off campus.

Five years ago I was most likely in the 7th grade. My attitude has gotten so much better. For example, if something was to go wrong or someone did a terrible thing in my regards I would react without allowing them to explain. I was a bomb waiting

I was in elementary school and I was a talkative person. Especially in class, I would complete all of my work and didn’t have anything else to do. Therefore I would talk to whoever is around me. That would get me put out of class. My grandparents would ask the teachers to give me more assignments, but I knew it wasn’t going towards my overall grade. So, I would still talk while completing my busy work. Now, in college, if I talk more than my professors I know the consequences would be way worse than busy work. Also I don’t even have enough time to talk and socialize in class. I’m busy trying to comprehend what my professors are saying and matching it to my notes.

Overall, a year ago, five years ago, and ten years ago I am still the same person. It is not so much that I have changed, but I grew up and became more mature. I still will stand my ground and defend myself if needed. I’m still a smart student and complete tasks. I also remained physically active and enjoy sports.

I think others perceive the differences of my attitude the same as I. They watch me and they see how much I have evolved to become a better woman. If anything, I think I was handed more responsibilities as I matured. My family expected me to participate in more church events because they saw I was becoming more social and having a change of attitude. They felt it would help me develop more as a

    I couldn’t answer that question until around high school, where I started to understand myself more as a person. It was at this point of time where I developed an interest in psychology and how it applies to me. My beliefs, values, and feelings also started to fully blossom into what I am today, a very scrupulous, principled, and in control of my own feelings kind of person. Still to this day I am a very quiet person, only speaking when necessary. This also comes from the debater in me, I listen carefully and fully before giving input of any kind.…

    I noticed that it was getting easier to talk to people without being too awkward in conversation. I started to take risks and open myself up as a person, regardless of the reactions of those around me. I realized sometime in my ninth grade year that I had always been this way, I was too scared to embrace it. This is something I consider one of my greatest failures, but also my greatest development. My younger years were difficult due to a combination of my parents struggling to pay bills and providing for my sister and me, lacking academic determination which kept me a B student for too long, and having no confidence in any personal social interaction.…

It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my problems with depression and anxiety.…

    Ethical Development Miranda Stroop Eastern Mennonite University When I was a young little girl, the world around me was moving too fast to understand what the expectations of me were. Many people learned at a young age good set of morals that led to them doing improved things with their lives.

Well I guess you can say that I am doing improved things now with my life than a bystander would have expected out of me.
