Self Essay Example Self Essay Self Essay My name is Kellee Layne Benjamin, and I will be twenty-three years old on February 4th, 2010. I was born and raised as a mid-western in Columbus, Ohio. I grew up with a large family of all sisters, half sisters, step sisters and one brother totaling eleven children. I was one of the younger, but considered to be the middle because of the age ranges between all of us. I grew up with seven siblings including myself, and the other four siblings were grown and had kids already. I lived in a small suburb of Columbus called Westerville.Westerville is a place where everyone knows everyone, even though they had four major high schools within this small town. Westerville is a very friendly place, where not a lot of crimes were committed. Westerville was â€Å"dry† my whole life growing up, but has recently changed so that they sell alcohol in certain markets around town. Because I grew up with such a large family in such a small town, at the age of seventeen, I was ready for a big chan ge! I had been dating my boyfriend for a year now, already graduated from High School, and wanted to move anywhere outside of Ohio.I made a set plan to move out of state but wasn’t sure where I wanted to go just yet. I started working full time as a manager for a dry cleaners for about a year. I saved up as much money as I could by living rent free with my parents. We both made the decision together to go to California, but where in California would we re-locate to? Many people brought up San Diego and told us how great of a place it is to visit, so we targeted San Diego and left town about five years ago and drove cross country.When I got to San Diego after a long five day drive, I instantly fell in love with the city! I began going to Mesa College about 2 in a half years ago, when I decided I wanted to have an education that would back up any career I choose. I have changed my major probably a handful of times, and have finally decided that I am going to major in Nutrition and Fitness. I love working out and thought to myself â€Å"Well if this is something you love to do, why not do something you love and get paid for it all at the same time? I am currently studying one class that is going to count towards my major and I absolutely love the class. It is PE 242, Sports Injury Prevention and Management. I am excited to continue my journey through this major and learn more about my upcoming profession! This will be my second time taking English 101, not that I failed it once before, but because I had a horrible experience with my last professor. He laughed in my face in front of the whole class about a paper I had worked so very hard on writing.I hope that taking an online course will help me build my confidence with my writing and comprehension of my readings, because I will be able to communicate better through chatting and emails, rather than doing so in person. I tend to be more shy, and not ask as many questions as I should, or express myself how I should because I am embarrassed or shy. This is also my first online class I have ever taken, so I hope this course continues on a positive note so that I can take more online classes in the futur
