5.16. Personal Timeline

By skeet__
  • reflection

    What does your time line tell you about yourself?
    I think its indicative of the impact that growing up in an immigrant household has had on me - I think it also is able to isolate that my "future" in life looks rather unconventional (I don't want to get married or have children or have a ton of surplus in life) this might be because of the previously mentioned uprising but yea.
  • reflection

    How different would you be if you could have changed one or two events along your line?
    I might have not moved or been into politics to the degree that I am now - I might even have wanted to take a completely different career path in life.
  • reflection

    How flexible or fixed does your future seem do be?
    I'm not too particular about my future although I would like a specific path I don't think i've confined myself with one route - it seems relatively flexible
  • birth

  • sanay was born

    sanay was born

    I vividly remember my brother being born - I was really involved in the process of naming and preparing for my brother - my mom told me that once he was born I had significant changes in my personality and became a lot quieter - I had a tough time adjusting to the change in attention but I enjoyed being the leader in sibling situations.
  • first day of pre-k/kindergarden

    first day of pre-k/kindergarden

    I also remember my first day of pre-k - I enjoyed school a lot and was ahead for my age group - I was able so speak and read a lot faster than those my age - pre-k was the first time I was aware that my parents were immigrants and that my family structure was a lot different than those around me - I was able to sense the difference in my food, the way I spoke and became a lot more conscious of it.
  • fourth grade

    fourth grade

    I got a C in math when I was in fourth grade. I started to struggle with math and friendships - I was no longer the leader that everyone had perceived me to be and fell behind in most of my STEM related studies because of my lack of confidence - I also started to struggle with eating food constantly and on time in fourth and fifth grade.
  • first day of middle school

    first day of middle school

    I struggles a lot socially in middle school - I had an inconsistant group of friends - my math and science grades took serious hits but i excelled at english and social sciences - I caught the attention of national programs for those grades - I became fixated in my studies and stopped engaging with the social scene in both my school and broader community.
  • first day of high school

    I had regained my sense of self at the beginning of high-school - I was regaining the "leadership" role that I had previously took in social situations - I had a small amount of friends that I was very close with and even though I had moved school districts only a year prior I started to become very engaged with politics and the presidential race
  • high school graduation

    I can only assume that I graduate - I dont imagine a major shift in personality from then to now - I sure that I will spend the summer in kansas or traveling before I start college
  • start college

    start college

    I want to go to georgetown for a polisci degree with a minor in gender and indigenous studies - I have been told I would thrive in college but i speculate the opposite - im assuming I will struggle with the change in expectation thoroughly
  • start law school

    start law school

    I also want to go to georgetown law - I think I will do well in law school - I think it will probably be a lot of commitment but im sure it will work out well.
  • death or retirement

    I sense that I wont do well as I age - I dont think I will cope well with my "legacy" no matter what it is regardless I see myself working for most of my life - I dont think I will retire early and I will probably die soon after i retire.
