I’m Sherry Nguyen. I’m just a person going through life trying to find all the amazing things it has to offer. My favorite thing is shopping, spending time with friends, and having deep conversations. Some other hobbies I have are making origami stars, reading, organizing my house, and painting. On the contrary, things I dislike are the sound of styrofoam and balloons rubbing against each other or popping. I don’t like people who are close-minded, pessimistic, and dishonest. In my life, I am a daughter, a sister, and a friend. My family and friends are the most important thing to me. My family has always supported me no matter what I do. They guide me through life and offer me advice when I need it. I can just talk for hours and I know they’ll listen to what I have to say. My friends are the ones I confide my problems to and I know they’re always there whether I just want to cry about something or have a good time. My biggest fear would be failure. I can’t imagine not succeeding in life because I feel like I have let everyone I care about down; especially my family. I honestly can’t list all the things that make me happy because there are so many. I find great joy in seeing the simplicity of everyday life. One time when I was a child, I accidently broke my aunt’s GameBoy and I was so scared of getting in trouble so I threw it into the depths of her closet. She couldn’t find it for weeks and I felt extremely guilty because she never found out it was me who did it. My personal motto is “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts” – Marcus Aelius Aurelius. This quote reminds me every day that I keep to keep thinking positive. You can never be happy with your life if you don’t believe you can.
