What Describes Me

For my first blog, I decided to pick eight images that I think describes who I am as a person.  The first picture that I have selected is a picture of a smiley face that says “Don’t worry, be happy”.  I decided to select this picture because I am not much of a worrier. I have always maintained a very calm approach to life, so when things go wrong, I don’t panic.  I always know that everything will work out eventually, and there is never a need to worry.  For my second picture, I chose a picture of the part of the constitution that says “We the People”.  The reason I chose this picture was that I am a firm people in individual rights and in the idea that people should all have the same individual freedoms.  I also believe that people have the right to believe what they want without the judgment of others, and I believe that this picture depicts this idea perfectly.  For my third picture, I chose a picture of the American flag because I am an incredibly patriotic person.  I personally believe that while America might not be perfect, I still think that America is the best country on earth.  I without a doubt would like to live nowhere else besides the United States of America.  For my fourth picture, I decide to go with a picture of a Torah with the Star of David in the background.  I chose this picture because Judaism has played a significant role in my life, from childhood now to young adulthood.  My religion has been one of the most consistent aspects of my life, and it has most certainly shaped who I am as a person today.  For my fifth picture, I chose the logo from the camp which I consider to be my second home.  I started going to that camp when I was twelve years old, and I have been going there for six summers now, and this upcoming summer will be my seventh.  At this camp, I have made some of the best friends of my life, and have had summers that I will never forget.  My sixth picture is a logo from a Jewish teen organization for which I was on the New York Area Region’s regional board.  The organization is called NFTY, which stands for “North American Federation of Temple Youth”.  The experience I had serving on this regional board was incredible, and has definitely given me an incredible work ethic that I did not have before.  My seventh picture is a picture that says “Family First”.  I chose this picture because I believe in strong family values.  I believe that one’s core should begin with a strong and supportive family.  For my final picture, I selected a picture of Ferris Bueller from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” that has one of my favorite quotes written on it.  The quote is, “Life moves by pretty fast.  If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.”  I love this quote because I love to appreciate the little things, and I think that this quote really exemplifies that idea.
