At this point I knew it was time for me to revise and asses my need and motivation to be in this field. I was doing a disservice to myself. I began to look within myself and saw that I was seeking gratification through other to make me feel good about myself. I began to seek counseling for myself which helped me to deal and cope with my unfinished business in my personal life. I began to love me and know that I am wonderful being who I am and most of all being real with myself.
Lastly, my life experiences have shaped my identity it has shown me what to be grateful in life and how in blink of the eye your world can change so quickly. I can remember in our youth field trip to third world countries, the people there had so little and treated it like it was so much.

Da’dooch was always fond of telling stories or explaining those who have passed. I figured my Aunt would be the perfect one to explain my grandfather’s life.

Country music tells a story usually dramatic to a harmonious tune. It places an emphasis on the lyrics and the voice is always predominant in the songs (Michaud, 2011). Dolly Parton is known as the “Queen of Country Music” (Wikipedia, 2012). She loves country music and is very enthusiastic about the same. In an interview she told the interviewee that she chose country because “There is so much passion and everyday life in the songs (Country Legends, 2011).” When taking a closer look at her songs we will be able to see this.
My answer to that is no I would not; its because of the mistakes I have made that make me who I am today. William Stafford signifies that people come in and out of your life; some playing little roles and some playing significant roles. Through all of this I have friends come and go; no matter who they may be everybody has made an impact in my life in one way or another. When things get rough you realize who is actually close to you; but it’s the people that exit my life in a hurry that have taught me a lot.

john smith Arzate ERWC/Period 2 September 5, 2013 Personal Statement When all else fails you decide whether to get up or stay down. I got up and made my failure a success. I was down in the dumps not knowing what I would do with my life after realizing that my goal at the time would be so far out of reach because of how my grades were coming out every time.

I personally have seen the results of these consequences. Emotional disorders and anxiety often consume these individuals. In some situations, these result in the individual taking their own lives to escape the ever present depression. I am a survivor of child abuse.
