I am…
It’s hard to sit here and try to
reveal what makes me who I am when I’m not even 100% sure myself. It’s hard to
look back on my own behavior and categorize it with a personality trait or a
type of person. And it’s hard to think of gifts that I have, maybe because in
general we are so used to pointing out the negative things about ourselves
rather than the positive things.
With all of that aside, I will put down what I know, or I
think I know about myself.
I am a traveler; I love to daydream
about where I’m going next and about my past experiences in different places.
Most of my money goes to airplane tickets.
I am not a picky eater. This is
where the rest of my money goes. I love to enjoy all types of different foods.
I look forward to my 3 meals a day… or maybe 4… or 5….
I am social. I love being around
people for almost everything I do. I love meeting new people, or just people
watching.
I am a hard worker. I’ve been
consistently working at least one job and going to school full time since I was
15. I can get things done.
I am a thrill seeker. I love being
spontaneous and trying new things. Gotta’ get that adrenaline pumping!
I am a procrastinator. Although I
do get things done, I can very often wait until there is a urgent deadline so
that I HAVE to do it that night. It is so hard for me to pass up an opportunity
to go to the beach with my friends, or out to eat, or just the fact that it’s a
beautiful day to stay at home doing homework instead.
I am active. Although I absolutely
love sleeping in, if I wake up too late, I feel like I’ve wasted the whole day.
I like to ride bikes, play soccer, go swimming, hiking, and running. I’ll do
almost anything outdoors.
I am impulsive. For the better or
the worse, sometimes I forget to think before I speak, or I don’t think too
much before I do something. This can definitely work to my advantage but also
to my disadvantage.
Some of the gifts that I can bring
to the classroom are:
I am open-minded. I like to participate as long as I’m not
the only person doing it. I love debating, but I have to know my stuff before!
I don’t have a problem being a leader and organizer for discussions or
projects. I can be outgoing, yet listen to others as well!
