The thing I like to do the most is paintballing. When I was younger I always had an interest in military related things and paintball allows me to live it without actually risking my life. At first the idea of shooting and getting shot at was scary but after a while it all just came naturally. Paintballing always makes me happy because having the adrenaline pumping through my veins gives me this amazing feeling that’s unlike any other!
I identify myself as a shy but nice guy. I always have problems starting conversations but once I get comfy I get to really show who I am and I love it! I’m still not in that hundred percent comfort zone at baruch but I’m getting there!
If there is one thing I’m sure I dislike it would be really stubborn people. In life I find it normal to have arguments and a winner and loser for each one. When it is obvious that my point is completely right with evidence to back myself up I think people should just admit their being wrong instead of fighting back or changing the subject!
My number one fear of all time would have to be of the darkness. It sounds childish but after all the scary movies and shows I’ve seen sometimes my mind messes with me. People say fear is all in the mind but unfortunately for me my mind is very creative when it comes to the ridiculous or unconventional! It is especially bad when I think up of zombies! I hate the idea of dead people coming back to life just to eat you. I always wonder why it has to be eating other live people to make more zombies. And in all of the movies where they make zombies, why does the scientist have to be dumb enough to not properly contain the virus or make a cure quickly! It is as if common sense is a rarity with those people!
For me my most empowering moments would be when I either learn something really hard or teach it to someone else. For example, in handball I learned to hit a shot called a hook which makes the ball change direction upon hitting the floor. This took me a full 3 year to get between muscle building, accuracy practice, and just plain experience. When I finally learned how to hit the shot it changed my whole game. I like to think I moved up a level from when I started.
My motto definitely has to be “Never give up, Never surrender”. I personally hate it when people have good things going for them and they throw it all away because 1 thing goes bad. I never quit unless its hopeless or I finish what I started.
