They are not, by any means, poor. All of the bills were always paid and the children were never without any necessities. Jessie’s parents fought a lot, however, mostly about financial matters. All the children were A and B students in school including Jessie who is maintaining a grade point average of about 3.5 in college. He is a very bright student with a very bright future.
However, I feel that one must be able to explore the opportunities around them and take advantage of them to truly learn and grow. My mother always told me that “one of life best teachers is life itself.” While going through the experience of moving to somewhere unfamiliar, I learned that one of my greatest qualities is being able to produce great work while under pressure and in unfamiliar territories. I am a
As time went on I realized that I needed so much more. I know now that teachers are here to teach us and what we learn is valuable throughout life. My GPA is important to my future and so is my ACT’s. With this said, I hope that I end up in a great college and a great
My family is very open-minded, and I feel this has really impacted me. Since young ages I have always been open-minded and understanding about people of other races and backgrounds Family is very important in my life and has really shaped who I am today. As well as family, my community has also helped “shape” me. I grew up in Cold Spring Harbor. Since then the community has been nothing but nice to me, and me and my family have made many life-long friends here in Cold Spring Harbor.
My Life Story Jessica Vernazza PSY 202 Professor Shelly Kilmer September 22nd, 2008 I came from what you call a traditional hard working “All American” family. My parents migrated here from a small country in South America named Uruguay. They came to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1972 with a two year old son.

Leadership. A word that hits close to home and describes my life to a t. Ever since I was a little girl my papaw pushed me to be the best I could be and I never quite understood why. He was always my best friend and someone I could go to for anything. He always expressed leadership throughout his lifetime and it is the one thing I remember most about him. He owned a restaurant and hired immigrants to work just so they had a job and if needed he opened up his home so they had a place to sleep at night.
From a young age I was highly intelligent and had a very powerful drive. The friends I made in childhood are the ones whom I have carried on to my present day life. Since I came from a high school which did not provide many of the necessary recourses to a gaggle of students who felt lost, we were the blind leading the deaf.

In most social situations I would classify myself as a leader, but at the same time I am very capable of stepping back and letting someone else take over who might have a different perspective or more skill in an area because I know the tremendous value of being able to work as a team, whether it is more immediate or part of the bigger picture. Another experience is the year I spent as a resident assistant in the resident halls on campus. The resident assistant job developed many skills that can be utilized in the workforce and helpful in a graduate school setting. Some of these skills include being well versed in mediation, general conflict resolution, enforcing university policies, developing programming, and
It’s the reasoning that goes into the decision that helps ensure a positive outcome. As a young person I thought I knew exactly where my life was going and how I was going to get there. I wasn’t prepared for the fateful night that changed my life forever. I grew up in what I thought was your typical family. My parents were still married, in a time when it seemed more popular to be in a single parent home.
