I’ve never been a fan of having to describe myself. It’s such a broad question, however; I can appreciate the vagueness as well. That in itself might begin to describe me.
I shy away from talking loudly in public but I have a flair for the dramatic (in my mind, anyway). I might spend a sunny day, reading a mystery novel but the minute it starts to rain; I’m ready to go for a walk. My DVR is set to record crime procedurals, teen dramas, and reality shows (and when everything doesn’t fit on my DVR, I catch up online).
Yet, that’s only the surface. I genuinely have an appreciation for learning. My parents and high school mentors have instilled in me the values of determination, integrity, and responsibility. My parents have constantly taught me achieving success that is meaningful to me will only be a result of my own dedication. I choose to believe them completely because their own determination and success is something I have grown up witnessing.
High school was one of the most defining experiences for me. I grew into my sarcastic attitude and learned to use wit in a way that is polite (and not take on a tone that I was often grounded for as a child). My interests in English, History, and Business came about in high school as well (not to mention my general disinterest in math and science.) Responsibility and integrity are two of the most valuable ideals I graduated with.
I’m hoping for college to be just as defining as my childhood and high school were. I want to learn new things, meet new people, and take my values to the next level. As most freshmen are, I am obviously concerned about grades and being able to cope with the intensity of a college atmosphere. However, I know college is just a new experience and I’m open to all it has to offer (even Pre-calculus).
