My Archetypical Self - Personal Statement Example

My Archetypical Self Let me first talk about who I am and what sort of person I am .I am 18 years old, an only son to my parents. My mom and dad areboth in the medical field. My mom is a psychologist, she has her own clinic. My dad is a brain surgeon, and I rarely see him anymore due to this profession. Both of them are inclined in pushing me toward the same field however. Though I think I do have some of the personalities, very likely I obtained from my parents, in order to perform well in this field, it is not really something I see myself doing. I see myself as a professor of any Math subjects. I love how the numbers spell logic, and the fact that I could spread this passion as well as knowledge to more people. Now for this introductory part about me, I am going to attach these archetypes: People of the Prince archetype has a life of what could be full of expectations since like real princes or princesses, their kings and queens expect them to follow in their footsteps. They are surrounded by all this power so to speak, yet they are not yet mature enough to be in those kinds of position. My parents are in the medical field, that brought to them prestige and power. They are known to help save lives or make them better. I am their only son whom they have expectations to follow in their footsteps. But I am not mature enough to actually want it, or even fully capable of it yet. I have years to convince myself that that is what I want to do for the rest of my life and years of training to become fully capable of it. My passion for Math as it bred logic and patterns, yet in not so simple way, through figures and numbers, make me think I could be associated as the Philosopher. As one, I seek to pursue the meaning of life for the sake of attaining a level of reason afar from human boundary. Not that Math is beyond human boundary, but the fact that these figures and numbers can be manipulated to give one a result that is more that apt in analyzing things around him or her is quite astounding and just a bid tad miraculous. Philosophers peruse questions that have no definitive solutions and answers. After all, having the right answers are not his goal, only the fact that having these questions around you can heighten the awareness about the nature of life. Maybe this sort of clash with mathematicians, who sought logical and definitive answers, but my personality of wanting to seek out knowledge in order to be fully immersed in the nature of life is certainly a characteristic of a philosopher, although I find it comfortable to use numbers as a tool. I look at myself as the Scribe as well, someone who has a reputation for accuracy and impartiality in inscribing details of a particular situation. I remember one time, I was called off to the office to explain a fight between two of my friends. My best friend hit my other friend not as close to me as him but I was still trusted to speak about the circumstances even though my best friend would be put into dire consequences. I did and caused a rift with my best friend for a while. But, in this I can say the aspect of being accurate and impartial lies within me. These two characteristics are important ones once you pursue a career in Mathematics as well. This is also the Judge in me, capable to mix compassion with wisdom. Though I could hurt my best friend, not coming out as I did would not let him see the mistake of his actions nor be a wise thing to do. After all being wise means knowing what is right from wrong. Condoning his actions would make us both criminals so to speak. It is a well-known fact that teachers impart knowledge and skills to those fortunate enough to be able to study and be under his or her influence. The Teacher does this impartially and only with the intention of adding to the progress of their hearts and minds. A true teacher though does this passionately and willingly. As I am considering myself to become a professor, this is more than a fitting description of that aspect of my personality. For now even I haven't done anything yet to become a teacher, I see innate qualities in me that say I could be a suitable person to become a teacher. I am impartial, patient and passionate about the things I love. I have this desire to impart knowledge to people around me,, not for any other reason than just wanting them to see things in a new perspective and understand things that would be useful in their development. My mom and dad did not fail in giving me advices when I need them or the things that could make me happy. They just can not give me all their attention of course because of their rigid schedules, but I did understand that this is for the good of many people in the whole world. My nanny though is not a lax one. She instilled in me discipline to combine work and play. No Playing until Homework is done. I may be spoiled materially, but she does not let these get into my head. I am therefore the archetype of the Healthy Child, loved and taught to be a responsible. I can manage to mix work and play effectively even until now. I make sure my obligations are not hampered by my leisure activities. A while ago I did say I have some qualities of medical personnel. The most significant of these is my desire to undo people's pains and just advice them to move on to a better part of their lives. I may not have saved a life specifically, but I did partake in a person's chance to develop further. This personality can be associated with the Intuitive Healer, one who inspires others to just forget and live. I am not a peaceful man though. Yes, I rather see people just progressing, immune to past hurts and disappointments, but I do not intend them to just let people hurt them. As I do to myself, I defend myself or my loved ones when I need to. I stay strong in order to fend off undesirable people and events in our lives. I don't know if I can risk death to defend myself and my family of course, but all I can say is once I put an importance to a person, I have the tendency to protect him or her from harm. This is the Soldier in me, I guess. Work Used "Examples of Archetypes." 27 February 2007. Read More
