The time that i had an amazing view point is when i would go to the beach and talk to girls. The issue was that the girls i would talk to would be out of my leauge and she would be with friends which would make it harder for me. The way that my creative side would help me is that i would come up with a plan in my head and then attempt to carry out the plan. So i would go up to the girl and say a cheesey joke like “I knew god had sent me an angel my name is Isaiah you?” Then i would make her friends laugh and after id do something really random with my friend to make me look good. I would tell him throw the football near us and i would catch it one handed before it hit the girl i was talking to. After i would get there number and call them the next day. My creative idea to come up with plans before it happens helps throught my years.My approach is different from other people because i dont do the regular “Hey can i get your number?” i go above the normal person. I take the hero/wierd approach to make the girl think that im strong and caring but also fun and stupid. My imagination aslo got me out of trouble as well because when i did go to get a girls number there friend might not of liked me so i would give the girl hints on were to go so i could get here number.
The way that i have overcame an educational barrier is when i was in elementary school and middle school. People at school always made fun of me whenever i would read because i always sad the words weird because i couldnt speak that well. I never liked reading after that because i always thought that people would laugh at me. When i got into middile school i got better at reading because i would practice during the summer. The next challenge was math but not just equations it was the reading part of math i could never figure it out. I would always go after school to get helo but it never helped because trying to decipher what i was reading was the hardest. After i while i moved schools back down to San Diego and there i had a teacher who really cared for my education so i had gone after school to learn the math and it helped a little but the person who really helped me was a girl named Cassidy Piper. She understood the math very well and took time out of her day to help. She and my parents were the people that helped me to better myself in school. Now in high school i can read math problems an take the important information and solve the problem. Also when it comes to english i can read the section or paragraph without taking so long, and i don't have to worry about people making fun of me every time i do read.
A difficult experience i had in my life was in 7th grade. I got bullied by most of the people at my middle school and always got into fights. The reason why is because i was small and skinny and was in band. Many people didnt like me for certain reasons so they found an excuse at times to push me in the hallway or punch me during passing periods. The way i got through it was fighting back the best way i could possible do. What i learned is that it doesnt feel good to get bullied and that if i see something happening i should step in and help. It has effected my life because now i walk through the halls thinking that people are out to get me so i stand tall and have a mad look at people. People ask what is wrong and i tell them nothing because i feel they will try to hurt me anyway they can. Also the way my life has changed at home is that im always mad at my little sister because she knows that i cant get mad at her because i will loose my car if i do. So she goes around and causes a mess and it makes my head hurt because i dont show any emotion. I hide all my feelings on the inside because i believe no one in this world cares and that i have to get through on my own. Another problem that getting bullied has caused me is to have a short temper with everyone. Especially if you ask me more then once because there is something in my head that triggers my anger when someone ask the same question or statment more than once. The best i can do know is to work on expressing my anger on something productive.
I have multiple talents and i am good at most of them for example football, track, airsoft and technology. The one talent that im best at is football the reason why is that every year i get an award for special team player of the year or offensive player of the year. My talent has been getting better over the years. Some of the skills in football have changed like my catching ability and hitting. Another skill i have is playing airsoft, being able to come up with a way to get out of a sitiuation quickly. I can always be a step ahead of people before they make a move. The way i practice to get better is to play around the house with my brother or watch military videos and interpret some of the moves the military uses on the airsoft field. The most important talent is football the reason why is because i put time and effort in to getting better. My talent for football comes naturally to me but i still work hard to get better. I would spend my summer working out in the gym and running so i could get better, faster and stronger in my position. When i would run i would put a parachute on my back so it would be harder for me to run. Putting in the work over the summer and offseason gave me enough strengh to play JV as a freshman. WHen i work hard my talents get better and because of it i love to play football friday nights so i can hear people yelling everytime i do something good.
My identity is special and unique to me in many ways. The way that i define identity is the way that people see me. It could be the way i treat people, how i treat my self or what i do in life. For me my identity is being an athletic person who is nice to people if there nice back. I will help people in need if they need it or be caring. There is also a side of me were i look mean an unapprochable. Another way people might see identity is what your ethnicity is. For me being puerto rican it plays a big role in my identity because i want people to know that i have a hispanic back ground. Also there were many factors in my life that has shapped my identity to this day. One of those factors is when my faher left when i was young and the reason i have the mad dog face is because i dont trust people at all. Another factor is when i got bullied all through middle school thats why i help people when they need it is because i want to help people in need not bring them down. My family helped me with my identity because they tought me from right and wrong and how to live life. Also how to be a gentalman to people like opeaning doors for people or helping an old lady cross the street. Being a male is important in my identity because to the community a male is suppose to be strong and a person to go to for help. Back in my old community growing up in a military house hold always had to have manners and always help around the house. When i got a chance i would go to the gym to work out because my apperance was important to my identity. For that reason i always thhink that i have to have a good looking body no matter how hard i work. That leads me to playing football. I woud be a nobody if i didnt have football the reason why is because it is my life. Whenever i step on a field i feel that i have to do my best because people are watching and if i suck at my sport then people are going to look at me like whats wrong with you. When i play i wear a puerto rican sleeve so people know that im proud to be puerto rican and that nobaody can tell me other wise because its my identity. What makes me unique is that i am a multi talented athlete who cares about people. I have the tendenciy to want people to be happy but if people cross my face in the wrong way there will be problems. My identity is made up of a lot of different unique skills and thoughts. I wont let any body tell me different because im special in my own way.
