That shouldn't be that difficult, right?
Well, this took me three days. :P How's that easy?
Enjoy reading about me! :D
Put me in a middle of nowhere and I’d
find a way to get noticed.
Born
in a family whose roots are known for their upbeat personalities, I developed
the confidence within me. Ever since I was a little girl, I had been joining
every contest I could squeeze myself in. My grandmother always insisted that we grab
every opportunity to shine as we may never get one again. Keeping this in mind,
my heart surged with courage and lost any uncertainty that might be holding me
back. For this reason, I grew up to be an extrovert who enjoys the comfort of
being with people and of being in the spotlight. Ask for volunteers and I’d be
more willing to be one. Call for help and I’d be there. I am fearless enough
take risks, embrace change and explore the world in a whole different
perspective. However, I know that I must also keep my feet firm in the ground.
I could never always be the best. Someone would always be better that I am.
This is one principle I would never forget.
I
am blessed to be given such a wonderful family who nurtured me and molded me
into who I am now. It is to them I owe and dedicate my achievements, simple or
complex they might be. It was in their hands I learned most of what I know
although I might spend much more time in school. Yes, school might have taught
me knowledge but it was my family who brought me wisdom. It was they who
influenced me to be academically inclined. I grew up with books and eventually
I learned to love them, too. Who would never love reading when you have a
family of storytellers who excellently spin dashing tales of adventure? It was
inevitable that I grew to love writing, too. It has been my cup of tea ever
since. I could never imagine myself without my pen and paper.
Although
I could never be as artsy as my brother is, I find art interesting. Literature
captures my attention and music soothes my soul. My voice, though not as
powerful as the others, have been part of church and performance choirs. On the
other hand, I try but whenever I draw, I always endd up getting frustrated as
the result usually never comes out the way I saw them to be. Nevertheless, I
still love art and I believe the world is a dull place without such beauty.
My
life is something most people consider as normal. I come from a middle-class
family who is thankfully able to make both ends meet. Studying in a prestigious
university is and will always be a privilege for me. Without the scholarship, I
could never find myself sitting amongst these people and discussing with them
about atoms, parabolas and the like. Modesty aside, I have consistently been
part of the honor roll ever since I started schooling. I am fortunate to have
the trust of the people as I have also been a student leader ever since
elementary. I take pride in saying that I am responsible enough to balance
everything out. With all these, I never forget to thank the One above.
Because
I am used to achieving things I wanted to be in, rejections and failures come
to me as heartaches and bitter tears. However, I have learned to accept that
things would not always work the way I wanted them to be. There would always be
tough times but I must face them with my head held high. Perhaps, next time I’d
do better and I’d keep in mind that these experiences will help me be better.
You
might conclude that everything might all be well and rosy but life hasn't always been sweet to me. I have my own share of downsides, too. People tend to
misunderstand me and judge me all for the wrong reasons. I would never
understand how they see me and manipulate me for their own advantage. Yes,
their actions have ultimately made me cry but I’ve learned to let go of the
past and never hold on to any grudges against them. I’ve learned to smile and
be friendly once more. I've learned to forgive and forget. It wasn’t simple. It
was a painful journey to undertake but they have been a part of my past and I
must learn to accept them as pieces of my history. These experiences have
taught me to be more careful of the people I choose to trust. I may be wary at
times but once I get to know a person better, I would be the best friend he or
she could ever have.
Upon
meeting me, people say I’m bright and sunny. J They see me as a girl oozing with personality, someone they
would want to be with when they are lonely or feeling down. I would not deny my
happiness upon hearing such. I am glad that I am able to spread my positivity
towards others. I love laughter, smiles, giggles—all those that make life worth
living every day. Life, as they say, is a one-way journey and I believe we must
always make the best out of it.
I
have never talked about my physical aspects in this essay. Well, I consider
myself to be just okay. J I’m not
the prettiest girl in the block but I know that there’s something worth
noticing in me, too. J I
always stand by the belief that everyone has his or her own beauty. It only
takes time to figure it out. If you are persistently curious on how I look, try
going over my photos but please do not let them define me. I love being in them
but they only capture what is seen and never felt. J
I
could go on telling others about myself but I prefer to keep them in the dark.
Besides, it is deemed best by most to get to know a person by not only reading
all about him/her but by also engaging in activities that would help one see a
person really is like. J Try
talking with me some time. I’d always have room for some chitchat. ;)
