I decided to make a slideshow to showcase the people, events, and things in my life that have had a huge impact on me and make me who I am.

To start off my slideshow I decided to give you guys a little bit of background information on the schools I have attended. My first slide is a collage of the 3 schools I went to. I went to two public schools between kindergarten and eight grade. When it was time for high school, my parents really wanted to put me in a private school. This was a big change for me and shows how I was able to adjust to all these changes. I had to make myself comfortable wherever I went. My second slide is also a collage. I am a commuter to Baruch and ever since high school the train has been my source of travel. I also have to walk quite a bit to get to the train station. I really wanted a slide that described what my culture and heritage consisted of so I decided to put a couple of pictures of that.  From color to drama my culture has it all. I was born into a Sikh family and I honestly am very proud of my religion. My parents were both born in the city in India so they have always been very open-minded and thoughtful. They honestly are the reason why I am here today. My mom is my support and my confidant. She can sense when something is wrong and she will always help me in my time of need. My dad is my inspiration and my source of drive. Seeing him work so hard to get to where he is now has made me proud. I get my honesty and loyalty from them. My brother is four years older. We are extremely close and we can share things with each other that we might not be able to tell our parents. We both love watching comedy and horror movies and TV shows together. My friends and family are the biggest support for me. My best friends, Almeet, Pardeep, and Katherine are like the sisters I never had. They always teach me to love myself. My friends are the biggest motivators and I am the luckiest person to have them in my life. They accept me for who I am. I look up to my older group of friends because they are smart and dedicated. They never make me feel like the youngest in the group and have taught me to be more independent. My family is so huge that I can’t even list all of my cousins, aunts and uncles. I can be outside with my family and meet a relative of the family I didn’t even know existed. My closest relatives are my mom’s sister’s family. They have been a constant part of my life and always tell me to strive for the best and be good at what I do.

I love roller coasters, speed and heights. I love the adrenaline I get. I want to go sky diving, bungee jumping and zip lining. I think this relates to the times when I can be carefree and live life. I also love traveling. My favorite part is actually the plane ride. I know so many people that hate airplane rides and they look at me like I’m crazy. I want to travel to Europe if I ever get the chance. I have been to India a countless number of times for vacation and I honestly love it. It is so different from here. I have lots of family there so it’s nice to see them.  I have relatives all over the world so it’s neat to go somewhere new and meet them.

Well that’s about it for now, I’m looking forward to learning more about you guys!
