Before I came into college I was a lazy little girl who would do all her homework, and then lay in bed while watching Netflix. I took 4 hour naps a day, if I did not take these naps I would not be able to function throughout the evening. When it comes to my well-being and how I function on a day-to-day life was always a little unsure. I always put everyone else before myself that is always making sure they were all okay while I suffered because I felt like no one was there for me anymore because I had to be the strong one and hold it all together for my friends. As I entered college, I knew I was not going to have the same issues I did in high school. I still put my friends before myself, but I think as a person, that is how I will always be. When it comes to my physical well-being I try to make sure I am living a healthy lifestyle, for the most part. I try to at least go to the gym and work out 4 times a week now.

I have learned how to develop a Professional Portfolio also known as my Teaching Portfolio that I will take with me when I have interviews for a future teaching position. As well as knowing what papers/artifacts that I need to put in my folder, so my future employer knows that I know what I am doing.

    Personal Narrative: Who I Am Today

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Identity

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    Personal Statement: Why I Should Be Considered As A Lugar Scholar

    I believe that I should be selected as a Lugar Scholar because I have gone above and beyond in my high school career while facing adversity. Although, it did take a year for me to truly excel in my academics and become more involved, but that is because I was shy and just wanted to get by. This changed because my father passed away toward the end of my first semester of high school. I made a promise to him. I would go to college and excel in anything I did.…

    I believe that my personal background, and my success despite the adversity that I have faced is an essential part of who I am.

Many people in my family had issues with substance abuse and addictions including my father. Although, I was raised by my mother and grandmother, my father’s actions and behaviors negatively impacted my life.

    Personal Narrative: My First Semester At Miami University

    I have learned about others’ experiences and how those experiences have changed them to become better and to think about different topics throughout the world. I have learned to be open-minded to what is happening now but also being open-minded to all opportunities. Through some of my experiences on campus, I have become more open-minded through discussing current events and have learned to develop my pre-conceived notions of a certain individual judging them based on their actions rather than what they appear to be. As someone who is an introvert, being isolated isn’t a big deal but at my time in college, I have become increasingly comfortable with doing things by myself and traveling places…
