In high school, I was a go-with-the-flow type student. I like to tell myself I didn’t stress out very much, but that’s incredibly false. When assignments were due and started piling up, I panicked but usually got it done, unless it was in a math class. Most of the time, I was pretty hard working in school and sometimes out of school. I loved the feeling of having everything in on time and having good grades, although it didn’t always work out. I took three years of math. I did not focus my time and energy in clubs or organizations. I spent a lot of my time working and spending time with family. My main job I had while in high school was working at a daycare. Working there had a big influence on what I’m going into in college. I want to work with kids and so this was a key part of preparing me for that journey and next step in my education. Having this experience has helped me a lot to prepare for my future. I want to help children grow and prosper, and I want to be able to teach them valuable lessons. I want to be a part of the lives of many kids and help as many people as I can while I have the time. I plan on being dedicated to my education and working to make this goal of mine a reality.
If I could visit any place in the world, I would choose Bora Bora and take my family with me. It would mean everything to me to have the chance to take my father, who has shaped me into the person I am today, to a place I know we would both love. I would love to repay him with this trip because of the experiences and traveling he gave me. This is all so important to me because he has encouraged me so much throughout my school years, and he means so much to me. Having this trip would be representation that I succeeded in my education and job and am able to do things like that.
If I were to win a million dollars today, I would probably save it for a very long time. I know I would spend a lot of it on my education and some of it on things like makeup. My learning and education is very important to me to be able to have a future that I am passionate about and have loved for a very long time. It is important that I am able to do that for myself and for others.
My favorite quote is “Be the change you wish to see in the world” by Mahatma Gandhi. It is something I try to live by each day. It is important to me that I work toward being better as a person and as a student. When there is something wrong, or I see someone acting in a way I don’t see fit, I try to act in the opposite way. I try to be kind to everyone, support everyone, and be a friend to everyone. Sometimes I don’t always accomplish this, in and outside of school, but I always keep it in my mind and try to do my best.
One of my favorite movies at the moment is Me Before You. It is my favorite because it represents a young women struggling to find herself and struggling to find what she’s supposed to do, and throughout the movie, she learns how to do that with the help of someone she ends up losing. I think I can relate to her a little in the sense that right now I have no idea what I want to do, and I’m struggling to find what to do with my future. In the movie, she also has to support her family and is stuck in the same house and town when she, deep down, has other goals and aspirations. The movie reminded me why it is so important to get an education and succeed in something I love. I plan to go on many adventures and find what I really want to do along the way.
