The Importance Of Who Am I In My Life

1061 Words5 Pages

Who am I The reason I am who I am is obviously from my origin. My tribe is Tamimi, one of the strongest tribes in the Arab world. However, I choose to believe the reason I am who I am comes from nurture. The way I was raised and treated when I was a child, my parents always insured a healthy and stable life and education that I can have. I studied five years in China, in an international school in the Fujian province. Those five years had the largest impact on my life so far. I was living a completely different life, and getting use to a completely different culture. It?s true they?re both in the same continent, however they have different lifestyles. When I was in Saudi Arabia from the period I was born till 10 years old, I was a different person completely. I was terrible in school work and I was a bully. It was one of the worst experience in my life, because being a bully is just cruel. When I first moved to china, it was the summer of 2009.

  • Misconceptions Of The Chinese People In 'Go West' By Peter Hessler

    352 Words  | 2 Pages

For one, their curiosity lies in different places; in Hessler’s words, “Most Chinese were intensely curious about foreign life” (48). In his experience, people in China held many misconceptions about the quality of American life, so whenever they were presented with the opportunity to learn more, they took it. That being said, Hessler also comments, “many Chinese had impressed me as virtually uninterested in themselves or their communities” (53). In other words, the curiosity of the Chinese extends far enough to reach the other end of the globe, but it still maintains a decent distance from their own cities.

What defines me as who I am as a person today are relatively my attitude, my personal values and beliefs to life that developed throughout my life. “Values are constructs that we hold as important and beliefs are constructs that we hold to be true (Collins & Chippendale, 1995)”. Meanwhile, attitudes are relatively lasting clusters of emotions, beliefs, and behavior tendencies directed towards specific ideas, people or objects (Baron & Byrne, 1984).
