Jadie Patterson September 1,2015 Self Concept Essay Imagine yourself walking into a room with a large crowd of people at a party. As you scan the room you notice many people laughing, talking, and interacting with each other. As you look towards the center of the room you see a very large guy with a huge Afro talking very loudly and attracting much attention to him; that’s me. I am an individual who is determined, outgoing, and loving. I display these characteristics to anyone I meet and everywhere I go.

I am a very determined individual and this is shown through my hard work and willingness to put time into something to see results. In the days I played football in high school I was often called the “weight room maniac” because of my tendency to stay after practice to get extra workouts in. This hard work, combined with my effort that I gave on the field, led me to getting offered multiple athletic scholarships from various football programs in the states of Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

I often call loved ones and friends to see how they’re doing, to tell them how much they mean to me, and to see what is going on in their life. Many who I am close with tell me that I am a warmhearted individual who cares very much about people. A large part of this characteristic comes from my time working at the YMCA as a counselor for children of the ages of 5-13. Being able to help the kids and talk to them about their problems while having fun is a large part of why I have a loving personality. I have developed all this due to striving to be like my mother who was a very caring and loving person.

To conclude, I am an outgoing, caring, and hardworking individual. I put a major emphasis on working towards my goal, and for caring about those that I love. I am also a fun loving guy who shines when he is around many people and has never heard of the word shy. These traits, coupled with many more are what make me Jadie Patterson....
