All individuals are not born perfect. Every individual has their flaws that has a positive or negative impact to those around them and the society. All individuals have flaws that can or cannot hide from the rest of the world. Scholars of psychology argue that obsessions cause individuals to achieve perfection and can have a positive or negative aspect to an individuals’ life. Perfection is the conditions, state, or quality of being free as possible from all flaws or defects.
I was in a chess tournament about two years ago against many people in my school because I joined a chess club. Unfortunately, I didn 't get far in my last one and was hoping to be better this time. I was doing well until I saw a seventh grader paired with me in the semifinals. I was very nervous because last time I went against a seventh grader I lost and was knocked out from the tournament. But this time I was a lot better at chess than before so I had not a lot of doubts even though a lot of people thought that the grade seven was going to win.
None of us are perfect. We all have our mistakes, flaws, and imperfections. Regardless of this, we still all strive to be perfect. We work on ourselves by trying to fix the problems and become better people. In doing this, we try to develop the traits we want.
This is something that I try to keep in mind in my daily life, that I will never be perfect, those around me will never be perfect, and that it’s perfectly okay to never be perfect. However, even though most can agree that the notion of perfection is unobtainable, that doesn’t stop us from setting our goals there. Heather Lende talks about this idea and about “shedding” the idea of perfection (19). Instead, we need to focus on what’s pretty good in our lives, whether it be our family, the hobbies that we enjoy, or the friends that we make throughout our
One day Timmy found beans that were magic, they jumped all over the place. He tried to plant one, but it just popped out of the ground, and jumped right into his mouth, and he accidentally swallowed it. The next day he turned white sparkly the next day his arms and legs fell off he felt very weird and was freaking out, and the next day after that he formed into a complete bean, he felt scared and frightened. Then he couldn’t talk or stand he was a bean.
When I was little I always tried to keep to myself; I never really wanted to be more than be an average student. I would go to school and would go home every day and never tried to do more. I never was a leader at that age; I was known to be kind and caring but I rarely took charged of a situation and always stayed in the background. It wasn’t until around 8th grade that things started to change, I began to realize that
1. INT. UNIVERSITY HALLWAY. DAY The hallway is cold and lonely.
Once I realized I should take the time and practice on my mistake it helped my average go up. In fact, I’ve noticed that everyone is school makes mistakes. Even if it’s on test grades, assignments, free response all we can do is do are work and try our best.

Within this short essay it will be explaining the support I resied in 3rd grade, when I lost the support, and how I was finally able to understand the information I was given. When you have a learning disability it is hard not to fall. In 3rd grade there was talk about holding me back because I couldn 't understand what I was reading or obtain the information. A meeting was held to discuss what was to be done.
After much time and consideration, I realized that striving for perfection was not and never would be realistic. After recalling various memories in my life, it occurred to me that as long as I could remember I wanted to be perfect. I wanted the best grades, be involved in the best extra-curriculars and do the best things. I now realized that I never was perfect and was never going to be perfect because there was no such thing. It didn’t matter that I had failed every single practice test because, I mean heck, the tests weren’t actually worth that much in my overall grade in the class.
Today I felt great, for I had just won a 2.5k race, I did not know what was in store for me today. I was casually walking down the hallway with my friends minding my own business when the 5th grader punches me and I fall. My friends, not wanting to not get hurt, run away leaving me to get pummeled by him. The punches fly I try and stop him but he insistent on hurting me each punch hurting more each time, I wish I could fight back. I know that if I fight back it might backfire and make him hit harder and it will get me in trouble.

I had this urge to be perfect because I thought that if I wasn’t the dream candidate universities and employers searched for, then they wouldn’t accept me, causing
The first day of middle school for me was both terrifying and exciting. I made a lot of new friends within the year. I remember the first day very well. I had woke up at 5;30 a.m. I was extremely tired.
