Pls. Post your comments regarding my essay, i really need your ideas. I have to submit my essay tomorrow morning. >.<
In my life, I've had many experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. Aristotle once said, "Knowing oneself, is the beginning of all wisdom," and not only is that the finest lesson one can ever learn, it's the only lesson one can learn that is not in the perimeters of a classroom, but it can only be self-discovered, by learning from the greatest teacher: ourselves what we are right now is the result of what we have been through in the past. All of the experiences that we have encountered in our past have influenced us in becoming the person that we are living today.
There is one significant experience that helped me boost my self confidence back then. It was when I was in my first year of high school. I was convinced to run by my peers as a board member of our high school student government. As a new student with a few acquaintances and a very low confidence level, I have slowly learned to know my strengths and understand my weaknesses as the campaign days pass by and went on. I started to develop confidence, and I have improved myself on public speaking and learned more about myself through the campaign. With a lot of help from our Lord Father and by just being myself, I won.
In my second year as a high school student, I was convinced by my friends to try and run as a councilor of our School's Student Body Government, but unfortunately I have lost to one of my friends, and it was close. I guess I just have to believe in my fate and trust God, for he has other plans for me in my life and that`s the reason why I lost the elections. At the end of the day, I have learned that I shouldn`t hesitate to face new challenges, so I'll keep on facing challenges, whether I win or lose, so that I can be a better person. All I have to do is to believe in my own strength.
As a senior, I`m trying to do my very best to help my fellow schoolmates in every way I can, and those experiences aren't hindrances to give up on what I believed is right, but instead they have become my inspiration to do what I know is right.
