My Most Memorable Day Of My Life

701 Words3 Pages

As I have grown older into the young man I am today, I have had my fair share of criticism.I have had different individuals critique, judge, and sometimes dismantle me with their own opinions and negative feedback. Today I am now open to criticism and see it as an opportunity for improvement. At one point in my life, I was not always so optimistic. One of the hardest years of my life would have to be my freshman year in high school. It was a big change if scenery and the people around me treated me as a lesser being. I was the only freshman that qualified for the varsity basketball team and the upperclassman treated me as such. Every day I had to prove myself to my older teammates that I deserved a spot on the team, but it was extremely difficult.

    Over the course 3 years in High School, the mistakes I made are what people identified me with. While many of these mistakes are something I may partially regret, I realize that this “partially” is an underscore of what I see. Many of these mistakes I made happened at a much different circumstance that what others had dealt with before. I was able to make those mistakes in a setting and perception that nobody else could afford. While everyone changed, grew, and matured, I had the opportunity to stay behind and develop an ideology that exceeded well beyond the capacity of others.

  • Fallacy Of Perfection

    522 Words  | 3 Pages

    I have learned many things from my failures and the failures of others, and not the least of which is that we can believe our thought process and actions are perfect. A common byproduct of individualistic societies is the fallacy of perfection. As someone who was raised in a collectivistic household, but in an individualistic country, you can imagine the cognitive dissonance I faced on a daily basis.

The misconception of perfection is astounding, because even those of us who claim not to be perfect, will often try to justify flaws in our thought
