Ralph Waldo Emerson

Personal Statement:
Hello. My name is Ralph Waldo Emerson. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts on May 25, 1803. I loved to be taught by my aunt, Mary Moody Emerson. She was by far my best teacher and had a very positive effect on my life. My father died when i was eight. I began school when i was nine and i attended Boston Latin School in 1812 and later on, in 1817, i attended Harvard College. I was named class poet in my junior year and i graduated with a rank in the middle of my class. I wasn't the best student. I later on moved to a more tropical climate and started my career as an author.
Issues:
I took part in intellectualism, abolitionism, and religion. My goal with the transcendentalism movement was to praise the individual rather than society, as society corrupts individuals. My motives were religious because i believed that everything was divine.
Solutions:
I was involved in the transcendentalist movement, which encourages people to pursue their own style rather than copying their predecessors. People can discover things that rules sometimes wont let them. They may experience a deeper spiritual sense by their own will. My movement was successful because it influenced my peers to pursue their own style and their own view.
Relationship with Others:
I believe that education is important but authors don't necessarily have to do exactly as they are taught. I'm also against slavery and i told speeches to people in order to abolish slavery.
