What I like about me is that I try to be the best at everything. When I notice that I’m lacking in something, I want to try extra hard in what I do. I also like the fact that I love to clean and keep everything neat and organized. What I dislike about myself is that I worry a bit too much.
I am a Korean American. I am considered tall in my household because my mom is tall. Although I am a Korean American, I identify myself as more of an American because I grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and lived my entire life in the same area. The roles I play in life are: I am a hardworking student; I am the youngest member of my household yet I help out with a lot of the work; I am a good friend to a lot of people.
My family, friends, and education are the most important to me. My family and friends are always there to support me and vice versa. I also consider education to be very important, because education builds my future and I want the brightest future out there.
I watched my parents work very hard throughout their lives. They’ve been working seven days a week, and seeing them succeed makes me proud of my parents and makes me want to do better than them. I’m very glad and thankful to have such parents because they will always be there for me when I need their help and seeing them work hard to pay for my SAT prep and other expenses makes me want to work harder and show my success in return.
My moment and presence at Baruch College has been productive. I’ve been taking classes that are part of my core curriculum and I’ve been doing well and keeping up with all of them.
My motto in life is “Do what you believe and follow your instincts.” When I follow my motto, that’s when I truly express who I am, my individualism, and that’s when my thoughts and opinions are always correct.
My biggest challenge in school is that I have to be the best at everything. Since I have my full scholarship on the line and since I received another scholarship from the school, I have to do the best I can and study extra hard at home to achieve my perfect GPA. Another challenge is that, because I already have so much on my mind (ex: my grades), it’s hard for me to join clubs and sports and to be active in them because then I feel like my grades will be at risk.
