  • Essay / On the Road to Discovering Who I Am - 1857

    I have always had goals in my life, but not necessarily by me. They tend to be more goals that have been planted in my head by others to “improve my future.” If I really think about it, achieving the goals set for me isn't going to improve my future much when it comes to making me happy. Now I'll be honest, I don't know much about myself, who I am, who I'm supposed to be or do, because I'm so used to people making these decisions for me. Another reason I don't know all these things about myself is that, according to all the personality tests I've taken, I don't like talking about my feelings that much. In fact, nine times out of ten I don't even recognize my own feelings unless I stop to think about them. If these are more personal and emotional type situations. I tend to answer briefly or just say I don't know. I didn't even realize I did that until I took a personality test. I want to step out of my comfort zone for this article. I hope to learn more about myself. I could easily do what I've done for all the other introspective articles I've been asked to write. That is, taking a ton of personality tests, then using the results to turn yourself into a bland, non-personalized paper that is considered "me." I'm an extremely complex person, I'm sure. In fact, one of the many personality tests I took told me that there were only about twenty-seven people like me in the entire world. Honestly, I don't really know what it's like, but I found it quite interesting. I like to be a deep thinker and figure out complex things on my own. I love challenges, I love adventure and being able to do a multiple variety of things. I am a very open person, ...... middle of paper ...... I try to understand myself and they start giving lists of traits they see in me, but that doesn't seems not enough for me. I'm now trying to figure out what I want in my life. To sort out what other people think I should do, what I think I should do. I am willing to set my own goals to achieve and have my own plans to create. All I know right now is that I have a deep, burning passion to do something great with my life, I don't know what it is or how to quench that desire, but I know that I must find it. I want to touch and change people's lives. I want to be a great source of inspiration. Someone important, to show everyone how strong I am as a person, and I want to share how to be strong with others. I know I'll figure it all out eventually. All I know is that if I knew everything there was to know about myself, life wouldn't really be that interesting...
