About Myself (Who I Am)

“To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. So, a question such as “who am I?”  Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex teenager who thinks the world is against me, nor am I an overly sophisticated “know- it- all” who doesn’t take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can’t say I’m like every other teenager because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing to make a brighter future for myself.

I’ve always been known for having a happy and sometimes had an energetic personality. I love to smile thus making others smile along with me. Being helpful has been a trait of mine since a young age. Lending a helping hand surely brought joy to me; so inevitably, I volunteer my services a lot. For example, when I have a free time I go to Children International (CI) just to volunteer. I am the one who manage the Computer Laboratory there. Hence, I wanted to become a Programmer someday but now I’m taking up Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

My future goals and accomplishments are very important to me. I don’t want to just be able to say “I graduated college”, I want to be able to say “I graduated college AND achieve all my accomplishments. I am an aspiring Programmer with the hopes of traveling to various places, while leaving a legacy and a memorable name for myself. Choosing the occupation as a Programmer has been set in stone in my mind since the age of fourteen. With my determined drive and enthusiastic ambitious personality, I will strive to make it happen.

However, I always try to make enough leisure time for family, friends, and activities. As some may say “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. My favorite activities are Basketball and Online Games. Basketball is like a relaxing sport for me even though I find myself to be very good at it. I also enjoy dancing; but just to have a good time. I try to include sports and activities besides school work into my daily life because it’s important to be well- rounded as a person.

My background explains a lot of who I am and the values that I have developed. I always strive for the best in life has had a great influence on me. I am a hard worker and very compassionate with my goals in life. “Who am I?” is a question I have been trying to answer my entire life. It seems to be a never- ending answer because I find myself to be a striving to be more than I am.
