These images are not necessarily realistic, or may never be fully realized. However, the image of an ideal self can still provide motivation and a visualization to work towards. Having goals in mind can aid the choices you make to create a better future for yourself. In twenty years I hope that I will arrive much closer to that ideal image of myself I have in my mind. Accordingly, I will explain the three most critical points of my ideal image that I seek to accomplish in the following essay.

In twenty years it is imperative to myself that I earn my Bachelor's degree that I am currently enrolled at Ewha Womans University for.

The reason for these education related objectives is that I frequently worry that others …show more content…

The fact that I will continue to live in South Korea after graduation implies it is necessary to become fluent in the Korean language. In 20 years the ideal image of myself no longer struggles with speaking and understanding Korean. This challenge deeply affects my daily life and creates a large amount of stress to deal with. I envision my ideal self as a person who can expertly write, read, and speak in Korean, a far cry from my current underwhelming skills. I need this skill not only to survive in my effort to permanently immigrate to this country, but out of respect to Korea’s culture and people (including my own future in-laws and friends). To finally achieve fluency in a second language would be a great burden off of my mind and one of the proudest

  • Explain Two Links Between An Individual's Identity, Self-Esteem And Self Esteem

    1372 Words  | 6 Pages

    There are a few links between an individual’s identity, self-esteem and self-image. An individual’s identity is them, their age, their name, ethnicity and background, their family, also their language and education. Their self-esteem means how much they actually value themselves and lastly their self-image is how they view themselves or see themselves. If they have no identity, for example if they are afraid of how others might see them this links to a low self-esteem which can lead to social isolation and/or they might suffer from depression, then their self-image may then suffer such as they forget to look after their personal appearance, hygiene and how they used to dress. On the other hand if they are happy and confidence with their identity then the individual is most likely to look after themselves and their personal image more such as the way they look, dress, eat healthily and exercise etc.
