For my first picture, I chose the Recreational Center pool, because I love swimming. At the age of seven, my parents sent me to swimming school. I didn’t really want to go at first, but my mom always joked around with me and said “You’ll thank me in the future when you fall off a boat.” In the end, I went for about seven years and then I stopped. Around two years ago, the Recreational Center pool opened, and I’ve been swimming at least once a week since then. For my second picture I chose a bunch of Mathematics equations. Growing up, Math was my favorite subject, my uncle would teach me all these little shortcuts, and how to do some mental math. In school, when I hate the chances to, I would take all the advanced Math classes. For my third picture, I put a picture of Brooklyn Technical High School. In Brooklyn Tech, we had majors, and I was in the Math Major. I learned a lot of advanced Math, such as graph theory, number theory, combinatorics, calculus, stats, economics, and linear algebra. This really changed the way I see the world today, everything I see is related to Math. For my fourth picture, I have a picture of a desk. I love the desk I have at home, because it has everything I need. It’s also probably the most relaxing place in the whole house, where I can have some silence, so I can read in peace. It’s so comfortable on my chair, that sometimes I fall asleep with my face smacked onto the desk. You’ll always find me there from 12 to 3 everyday, because I’m procrastinating every night. For my fifth picture, I have a picture of a mime, because in the classroom, I’m always quiet, unless I really have to speak. Usually I don’t participate in class, and people think I’m shy. Trust me, if you know me, I can be the loudest person you know outside of the classroom. My friends always tell me to stop talking, but I just speak louder and pretend I didn’t hear them. For my sixth picture, I chose a picture of a clown, because I smile a lot, and I love making people laugh and smile. My friends would always laugh, and tell me that the joke was really bad, but that’s what makes it funny… I remember in fifth grade when I was considered a “good” class clown. I never understood what that meant, maybe because class clowns are usually troublemakers, but I was flattered to be called funny. For my Seventh picture, I have a picture of a buffet to show that I love to eat, and I’ll eat anything. I love trying new stuff, and experimenting with different combinations of sauces, and food. For my last picture I have a picture of Hearthstone, because it’s my favorite game. I got a beta key, and I’ve been playing ever since then.
