"Are there any significant experiences you have had, or accomplishments you have realized, that have helped you define you as a person?"-- I am not yet done with my essay but I could use some help!:)
please help me!thanks.:)
Experiences...Accomplishments...Experiences...Accomplishments...I don't really get it-I can't find the contrast between the two of them, aren't they the same thing? Experiences, achievements, dreams we have, things we do and the words we utter, aren't they the things that define us as a person?
In this fragile world we are living in right now, we need not just good, but the best professionals. We need the best-est scientist to resolve our planet, best-est mathematicians to solve the equation of our problem, best-est leaders to lead us to a better, cleaner earth, and most importantly, we need the best-est citizens to do the rest. Things we do does not only affect the place we are living in but also affect out personality.
Let me share to you an experience that had changed my life to better one. It happened not long ago, about 4 months actually. The time where one my biggest dream can come true - Given the chance only once. The student council elections, yes that was it, I had been waiting for that for 5 hardworking years. I wanted to be the student council president. Everything was flowing according to the plan, I had enough supporters to win, I actually had it on my hand. Suddenly, a misfortune came, since the other team's president has a rich and strong family background, so the misfortune was given to us. One of us had to be taken out of the list. I decided, if there should be one person to be taken out, it should be the one who invited all one them to join the team. I took myself out of the list. After all, a great leader's courage to fulfill her vision comes from passion not position. I realized that what I wanted was a better school year for everyone. Being the president is a great advantage, but that is not the only way.
That was one of my biggest accomplishment in life, to let go of things that I wanted and instead realized what I needed. It had help me define myself to be a better person. I had learn that pessimists are always right but optimists gets more out of life, they ignore whatever comes and goes on with life. All I needed was a little encouragement from my family and friends, encouragement for me to not give up and go on with my dream-to have a better school year.
To have acquired so much knowledge is a significant achievement. Achievements are accomplishments and therefore having knowledge is an accomplishment. In having a successful life, knowledge comes first then experience trails by. In other words, knowledge and experience is the key to success-education is the key to success. When deficient experience is gained, we go for more experience and gain it at some point. Once we have reached the status of experienced, accomplishments have also been made.
