Post One- Who I am :)

All the pictures that I have inserted in my slideshow is a fragment of myself. The people in it, the moments I have shared with them, the memories that I have created with them shapes who I am today. I believe that a major part of your self development begins with the environment you are brought up in and the people who surround you. Everyone in my slideshow plays a huge role in my life.

One of the biggest accomplishment of my life has been being an active member of a Non-profit organization that works towards ending violence against women and children. I worked with children at the shelter care home. The whole experience made me see my life from a whole different perspective. 

I love the second picture because I love kids. Ever since I can remember I’ve always liked the company of little kids. I like how they’re so innocent and adorable. Oh my god, I might sound like a mother here. But I can’t help it. I guess that shows a side of me.

The third picture is of me and my first cousins. We have a special bond and we have fun every time we’re together. Since we’re all girls we have similar interests and hobbies. We like clothes, accessories, shopping and boys. I guess that’s why they are a part of me and that will never change. 

The fourth picture is of me and my best friend. We’ve been best friends since seventh grade. From sharing clothes to secrets we’ve been through high and lows. From her I’ve learnt that real friends aren’t there in times of celebration but really there in times of need.

As you can see my brother isn’t there to catch me when I fall. Instead, he’s there falling down with me. I guess that means even more to me because that shows he’s not perfect, he’s not a savior, he’s not my superman. But he’s going to be there for me. I would do the same for him. He’s taught me that through thick and thin family is what matters all the time and thanks to him i know that family comes first.

The sixth picture is one of my all time favorite picture with my little sister. She is sixteen. I believe that we are completely different but most people say otherwise. My teachers and friends would always complain about how they kept getting us mixed up. We would answer each others calls and people wouldn’t realize they were talking to the wrong sister. She has shown me that having a sister is the best thing in the world and she says the same about me too. She defines a part of me.

The seventh picture is of my mother and father. The two most important people in my life. The ones that brought me into this world and gave me life. Needless to say, they are a part of me and I would not have an identity if it weren’t for them. They have taught me from wrong to right and I am thankful for that. I see myself in them because I am a combination of the two. They are my everything 🙂

Lastly, I am with my maternal and paternal grandmothers. I love both of them dearly and they are just like my own parents. I have grown up right in front of their eyes. They have taught me my values, morals, responsibilities and countless other things. We are a family and they’ll always come first.
