Many people ask me, who am I, I’m a hardworking student who has a goal to accomplish. My
goal is to become a doctor. I had this goal since I was a kid, even though I don’t remember why I
wanted to become one. The reason that I believe I want to become a doctor is to help people,
when they are feeling bad and down. I work hard when it comes to reaching my goal so when I
get to the end result I can have the best of life.
I have the greatest ability to procrastinate on anything that is giving to me; it’s like a second
nature to put things off. But when I actually do the work that was giving, it is done right. I am
dependable; I was captain of my high school track team and I was a leader in my high school
band. It was imperative that I was there to help show them what to do and lead them on to better
themselves.
My greatest accomplishment would be that I made honor roll ever since I was in elementary
school. I have been hard at work to keep this record going. Even though I made the Principals list
only twice throughout those years I worked hard to meet that standard. When high school came
around most people said it would be hard to make honor roll but I really noticed no change. It
was like middle school with a different setting and more people. So, the question was, who am I?
I am a boy with a big dream and a person who has taken big steps to reach it. My experiences
have made me who I am today, a hard worker and dependable person, but I also know how to
have fun and enjoy the small things. Who am I? I am [name].

College Essay: Who Am I
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something
else is a great accomplishment”. So a question such as “who am I?” really gives me the
opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex
teenager who thinks the world is against me, nor am I an overly sophisticated “know- it- all” who
doesn’t take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can’t say I’m like every other teenager
because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am
progressing to make a brighter future for myself.
I’ve always been known for having a bubbly and energetic personality. I love to smile thus
making others smile along with me. Being helpful has been a trait of mine since a young age.
Lending a helping hand surely brought joy to me; so inevitably, I volunteer my services a lot. For
example, I volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club Afterschool Program daily. It excites me to work
with children; hence my future occupation is to be a pediatrician.
My future goals and accomplishments are very important to me. I don’t want to just be able to
say “I graduated college”, I want to be able to say “I graduated college AND achieve all my
accomplishments. I am an aspiring pediatrician with the hopes of traveling to various places,
while leaving a legacy and a memorable name for myself. Choosing the occupation as a
pediatrician has been set in stone in my mind since the age of ten. With my determined drive and
enthusiastic ambitious personality, I will strive to make it happen.
However, I always try to make enough leisure time for family, friends, and activities. As some
may say “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. My favorite activities are tennis, volley
ball and swimming. Swimming is like a relaxing sport for me even though I find myself to be
very good at it. I use to be on a swim team when I was eleven because my swimming skills were
very good. I also enjoy dancing; but just to have a good time. I try to include sports and activities
besides school work into my daily life because it’s important to be well- rounded as a person.
My background explains a lot of who I am and the values that I have developed. Having a
Jamaican family who always strives for the best in life has had a great influence on me. Being
that I was taken out of my comfort element and had to migrate to America, it is rare for me to
show weakness. I am a hard worker and very compassionate with my goals in life. “Who am I?”
is a question I have been trying to answer my entire life. It seems to be a never- ending answer
because I find myself to be a striving to be more than I am.
