I'm Not Changing!

9/4/2022

Thoughts? This week, we've been talking about changing who you are or how you look to make others comfortable. Look at, then respond to the video above.

1. INCLUDE: First Initial, Last Name AND Class Block.

2. Respond in no more than five (5) complete sentences and no less than three (3) complete sentences. (This helps you write more concisely and think more critically.)

3. You MUST comment on at least TWO other posts from any student in any class. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school, your family or your upbringing with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not respond AND comment on TWO others, you will not receive credit for this assignment. It's all or nothing.

WARNING: If you post even one second past midnight, your comment might appear to be posted, but as soon as it is opened to be graded, it will automatically delete.

What she is saying in the video is very true. You should always just be yourself and never let anyone try to tell you otherwise. You also don't have to act a certain way when you get around certain people to make them think about you differently. Just be yourself bro and don't be a judger.

i completely agree. You should always keep youself from changing because you are your own person and no one should have the power to change you.

i do no agree with you change is a must in order to evolve we cannot stay the same because our routine will never change if so.

Yes, you should always be yourself and never be afraid to do that. However I feel as if insertion situations you have to change the way you are. For example when talking to someone else you might change the way you talk to them.

i do not agree i believe in cases such as business being yourself will not work out. This may be called deceiving but it is necessary in order to strive for more and for success.

I agree, instead of judging people based on what they look like, how they talk or how they act, people should reflect on themselves.

Yes, always be yourself !

I agree with you. You should be your true self, no matter who you're around. Your true friends and family will like you for being you.

Morgan Johnson

I agree, you should never have to change for anyone. You can be yourself and be who ever you want. No matter what people say.

I completely agree with you, our own character shouldn't be changed a bit just because another person doesn't like it or its not 'cool'

The mindset she has is right because she can't be someone who she isn't. Acting like someone she isn't will not make her happy so it's better for her to always be herself in order to stay happy. Always being yourself is the best way for others to know who you are.

I agree because if you act the way someone wants you to act it's as if they control you and your personality. Being yourself shows who really will be there for you. Being you will make you happier because you don't have to mask the real you.

What she was saying in the video is true. You should always keep yourself from changing, because you shouldnt be afflicted by someone elses opinions. She was saying to maintain your personality and keep your mindset about who you truely are. Being yourself is the greatest gift anyone could have because thats what makes us more human to be just who we truely are.

Keyuante Sheffield 2A

Being yourself is the best gift god can give you because without yourself you wouldn't be nowhere or anything in life because you wouldn't truly know yourself because you never acted like yourself

Bralin W 6B

9/9/2022 01:55:43 pm

Yes you shouldn't let other people determine how you should act around them etc.

A. Green

9/9/2022 03:55:14 pm

I agree with you because there is no reason to change yourself to fit the view of other people.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

9/9/2022 05:36:12 pm

You're right. You shouldn't let others'opinions bring you down. Their negativity shouldn't impact you to change your personality. Being true to your personality is a gift no one should take away from you. Don't be like every other boring personality, be unique, be yourself.

Keyuante Sheffield 2A

9/9/2022 01:46:00 pm

Her mindset and attention is set perfectly because you shouldn't have to be or act like someone your not. You shouldn't have to change who you're off of someones opinion. You shouldn't have to act different around other people just be yourself

Bralin W 6B

9/9/2022 01:54:22 pm

Exactly, you shouldn't have to act how someone wants YOU to act.

Elizabeth.Adame 2A

9/9/2022 04:54:55 pm

I agree with you because real friends/family will welcome you for just being you. You should never have to change yourself for someone, especially if they're gonna be in your life temporarily. Acting like someone you're not only hides the true you.

A Giles 2A

Yeah the people that like you and trust you will stick around no matter what and the people that don’t, don’t there’s your answer.

Morgan Johnson 5B

9/9/2022 09:50:40 pm

I totally agree. This is well put for what the video was talking about. If someone has a bad opinion about you doesn't mean you have to change who you are as a person. You are great just the way you are.

Jeremiah B 2A

9/9/2022 10:53:10 pm

I agree. No one should have control of who you are as a person.

Melissa Contreras 6B

I also agree with her way of thinking. I say this because she understands that she shouldn't change herself for others. Even if people might think differently of her.

eduardo maso 2a

9/9/2022 01:51:51 pm

i think you should change yourself to become better. Staying the same will never accomplish anything if i watch a video telling me to change myself because i will be in every aspect better then i am going to change.

A.Green 3a

9/9/2022 03:54:30 pm

She is right by saying that she will not change herself to fit in the mold of companies and what other people want her to be. This is a really important lesson to learn especially in minority groups. There will be many people who will try to change you because they don't like how you talk or look. This could also be seen as trying to white-wash people like when young black girls are told to keep their hair flat ironed.

M Davis 1A

9/9/2022 05:25:08 pm

Yes, very important !

Mya Espino 7B

I completely agree. Just because some people fit the standards that are set today doesn't mean you should feel the need to change yourself to be more "pretty".

Riana Thomas 5B

9/9/2022 11:49:56 pm

I 100 percent agree with you why should you try to impress others to fit in. If you get talked about just because you don't fit in then just let in be. Nobody should change you because you act a certain way.

Elizabeth.Adame 2A

9/9/2022 04:42:45 pm

The lady in the video is right. Just because you're around certain people doesn't mean you have to change who you are. Being yourself and the best version of yourself is important. You shouldn't let people change who you are.

Mya Espino 7B

9/9/2022 07:09:16 pm

I agree. Certain people shouldn't change who you are just because they simply don't like the way you act.

M Davis 1A

9/9/2022 05:22:35 pm

I agree with her. You should never change the way you are for anyone. If someone doesn't like something you do then they should distance themselves fro you.

I agree, I'm not about to go out of my way to force somebody to like me.

Kevin Jacinto 6B

9/9/2022 11:12:59 pm

I agree with you, distancing yourself from the issue or problem can always lead to you succeeding.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

9/9/2022 05:22:43 pm

I agree with the lady in the video. We shouldn't have to change our personality to meet the standards of other people. We should accept everyone for who they truly are. Pretending to be someone you aren't won't get any further nor make you any happier.

A Giles 2A

9/9/2022 06:51:03 pm

Yep! Just because someone that doesn’t like your personality doesn’t mean you should change that because that is who you are and how you show yourself.

Morgan Johson

9/9/2022 06:12:00 pm

You don't have to change yourself for anyone and need to. If someone doesn't like the way you forget about them. They don't need to worry about you or how you are. It only matters how you feel about yourself.

A Giles 2a

9/9/2022 06:48:43 pm

Just because someone doesn’t like you and you like them doesn’t mean you should change who you really are. I wouldn’t want to fake being someone that I am not truly am. I like who I am and if someone doesn’t like me that is their opinion and there are many more people in this world you can have rather than them.

mackenly Mitchell link

9/9/2022 08:22:04 pm

I agree, the ones who accept you for you are usually the relationships that last.

Jeremiah B 2A

9/9/2022 10:52:00 pm

I agree. you shouldn't have to change yourself in order for someone to like you.

Riana Thomas 5b

9/9/2022 11:25:28 pm

Your correct with this one you shouldn't have to empress other people just to fit in. If they don't like you just remove yourself from them and hang around people that like you for you. If you be yourself then people are going to realize that your a fun person to hang around.

Mya Espino 7B

9/9/2022 07:07:32 pm

I think what she's saying in the video is true. You shouldn't have to change who you are just because people don't like that version of you. No matter who you are around, they shouldn't have an influence in changing you as a person.

mackenly Mitchell link

9/9/2022 08:20:31 pm

This is very accurate. I feel like this is an important message to learn, especially for kids my age. I've experienced my own share of situations where I questioned my personality, by beliefs, or my style, specifically because it didn't fit the expectations that another person had for me. That person could have been a friend, a cute boy, a teacher, a coach,or anyone else that I might have felt obligated to accord myself to.

Jeremiah B 2A

9/9/2022 10:51:05 pm

I agree with her. She's saying you shouldn't change for anyone. You shouldn't have to change everything about yourself just because someone wants you to.

Geoffrey Ojeh B6

9/9/2022 11:10:41 pm

She is correct in her outlook since she cannot be someone she is not. It is best for her to always be herself since acting like someone she is not will not make her happy. The easiest approach for others to understand who you are is to always be yourself.

Kevin Jacinto 6B

9/9/2022 11:20:01 pm

I certainly agree with the lady in the video, because ones character shouldn't change just because someone else doesn't like it. Like she said if they don't like you for what you are then they can distance themselves from you. I believe everyone is meant to be unique, because what would this world look like if we all looked, acted,and talked the same way. Not much character right.

Riana Thomas 5b

9/9/2022 11:22:35 pm

You shouldn't have to change yourself to empress other people or make people around you feel comfortable. When you are around somebody that is trying to change the way you act then remove yourself from them. They shouldn't change something about you just because you are who you are just be yourself you are original.
