Out of all my values: independence, ambition, personal growth and continuous learning, I feel as if personal growth and continuous learning is what I value the most. I decided to combine personal growth and continuous learning because I grow through experiences and then learn from them. In my life, I live by a saying, trial and error. To me, this saying means a lot to how I take on life. I could do something repeatedly, but as soon as I mess up, I will find another way around it. But to me, error or mistake is not a word; I prefer to use improvement. I think if someone learns from their errors or mistakes, then it actually helped improve them.Trial and improvements have been used over and over many times in my life. There is not a time in my life where my motto has just been a phrase to me.
As of recently, I have been feeling as if I am at an identity crisis. Coming into college, for the first time for a lot of students, we are allowed to think for ourselves. For me, I have always been a strong willed person, but I never really known what my interests are. I know what my name is and where I come from, but I am having a hard time in deciding what works and what is best for me. As I figure out who and what I want to be, I have been encountering many bumps in the road. As I struggle with trying to find out what works best for me, along the way, I do not always make the best decisions. Although, I do learn as time goes on, I cannot change my decisions. Everything that has happened along the way, to where I stand today, has happened to build me into the person I am. Already, I feel as if I have grown so much coming into college. I feel like I am continuously learning new things about myself everyday. For example, prior to college, I ate meat, not much, but I did. As soon as I moved out of my house, I decide to not eat meat anymore. I have been a vegetarian ever since.
My mistakes (improvements) have allowed me to learn and mature into the person that I want to be. Even with my identity crisis, I feel as even if I face more trials and continue to error from them, learning from these trials will ultimately improve me and make me into the person who I am bound to be.
