Interacting with nature. Potting, weeding and watering my plants is the most relaxing part of my life.

21 random details about myself: I love learning I am the elder sibling I enjoy customizing and decorating the spaces I work, I enjoy personalization My room reflects my headspace I am largely affected by my external environment I enjoy deep personal conversations I question a lot, concepts, questions, theories, people. I write gratitude and manifest daily I enjoy reading I love my hair I am impatient I love writing and reading poetry I love change. Clay: reflects my personality, being able to mold into different situations, no change in clay leads to loss of flexibility and that symbolizes my brain. I can’t take compliments for some reason My brain chooses to forget important things. I like to collect a little bit of a good moment with me, a souvenir of sorts, like a bill from a really good lunch date. I work well with deadlines I love nature and it inspires me a lot, creatively. It brings positive energy to me. I like meeting new people I am really privileged I am really passionate about bringing better laws for dry and wet waste segregation and promoting sustainability- working towards the climate crisis I enjoy a seim-structured routine. I have a habit of being a bit harsh on myself, but I’ve come a long way with that. I like challenging myself A lot of things that shouldn’t make me feel guilty- make me feel guilty and I should work on it. I always want it planned and I need to be comfortable it letting go.

My 21 Details I have days where I play chess nonstop In 5th grade, I read so much that I would even read during a lecture. I once read Harry Potter from 9 PM to 2 AM in 4th grade I have gone down a Wikipedia spiral of Godel's incompleteness theorem I like to learn new things on my own In my 5th grade school year alone, I read 564 books. But, since then I prefer to read slower. I was fascinated by the complexity of Dune, so I read it 3 times; highlighting in Sora. I try to be compassionate to others. I store my materials in a house I built for Tech Ed. I am a fan of basketball, and in 5th grade I would play imaginary free throw shooting contests between Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving when no one was there. I became a fan of Pokemon and Ninjago by watching it at my neighbor's house. I am constantly trying to add to my book collection. I have an obsession with knowledge, and a passion for math and science I find programming languages such as Python and SQL to be fascinating. One day I hope to be able to make a Chess AI, among other things. Almost all of my self learning is from books, and videos. I’ve found myself watching math podcasts for hours on end. I like to learn one step ahead of what we are currently doing, sometimes even one course ahead. I became the biggest fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender after my history teacher recommended it to me. I find the music of LOTR to be compelling. I am interested in reading 1000 page books for fun as a side project.

21 random details about me: I have scars all over my body due to my skin stretching from gaining weight Always respond to a person's request for help I respond better to negativity than compliments I don’t like looking at myself in the mirror Love talking about random stuff like is water better than juice Haven’t cried from sadness since I was 7 Have a hard time making friends/communicating Love listening to gossip especially being a part of ‘girl talk’ I am a people pleaser A pet peeve is when people are too loud or talk over others Pay close attention to everything about you (for example: body language) Love learning Enjoy facing struggle Always thinking even when taking a break Don’t like physical touch even from family Have a hard time remembering names but better at remembering aspects of a person Like to create plans and strategies for everything First generation American Hate having attention towards me, so much so I start shaking whenever I have to present in class Very soft spoken Enjoy helping others and will go out of my way to help them even if I’m busy

[@faisalhossain2339]

I’m a little clumsy in the sense that I lose track of where things are and what is going on. I lost my mask once, it was on my face. This stuff happens all the time. I get injured playing sports, despite having pretty good athletic abilities. I like watching anime because the stories I watch suck me in, and when I start a new story, I can’t stop thinking about it until the story is over. I love a good, complex, and drawn out story I play a lot of video games but I'm not amazing at any of them, just decent enough to have fun. I like wearing glasses because I think they suit me, even though I don't really need them. I find comfort in touch, whether its a hug, or a handshake-hug. Physical touch makes me feel comfortable. Touch is the way to break ice with me. I like eating a lot of food at once. When I go to restaurants I order a lot of food because I want to be eating the entire time I'm there. If it's too expensive then I’ll eat slower, just to be able to eat for longer. I don’t have a food preference, but eating food with chopsticks is the most fun. I like playing 8 ball at a nice billiards hall, the stick clicking against the white cue ball, perfectly, is my favorite noise. I am not good at 8 ball, I can only make hard shots. I like loud music because its easier to feel the bass. Bass noises in music comfort me, especially when its loud. I don't like going to the gym with anyone, it's my alone time. I like to be able to stay focused, and have nothing on my mind as I workout. I love the way my mom talks about me to other people. She is the only one that makes me feel like i'm doing the right thing. I like making money, whether it's in investments, reselling objects or items, working a job. There is an illusion of productivity which I crave a little bit because it stops me from feeling like i'm not doing anything with my life. I only cry when I watch anime. My closest friends have not seen me cry. I like the sound of keyboard typing. My favorite movie is Inception because the last minute timing of everything reminds me of myself. I work best under pressure. I become destroyed when I am stressed out. I enjoy competition, whether i lose or win, the tense situation excites me. I love blueberry yogurt kellogs cereal, because the flavors change with every bite. It's not boring. I like when things don’t take up alot of space. Things should be as simple as possible. I don’t like being hot. I hate when my hoodies get ruined, so I take good care of them. When I don't take care of something, it falls apart very fast. I like it when stickers cover an empty space. My phone is covered with stickers. I like the smell of rain. I learned how to type on a keyboard by playing video games.

I love doing makeup even though i’m not the best at it I have really bad eyesight but didn’t realize until I got my first pair of glasses in first grade bugs scare the crap out of me I have some really hard teachers at school My favorite grade ever was fourth grade because of all the fun learning experience my teacher implemented into our school year I want to learn to do digital art one day I like coffee and tea but i’m not sure which one I like better I used to hate my hair because it wasn’t like everyone else’s around me but now I love it in its natural state. I have a black cat who is so sweet, he’s old now and often sick but he’s pushing through. I am the middle child so I often feel like i’m on my own since my parents are so focused on my older sister who has a more eventful life right now, and my younger brother who also has a lot to do. They feel like I am doing okay but often times I am not. I would love to get my ears pierced one day again and I wish I never let my piercing holes close. I would secretly love to live on a farm or on a cottage on day that takes care of the animals instead of killing them. I feel like if i was famous on social media I would get “cancelled” (lol hate that word) immediately because I overly opinionated and really blunt. I want to get my nails painted red soon. I have them orange right now because the color came out wrong but I didn’t fuss about it and just rocked the orange. Sometimes you don’t get exactly what you want but be grateful for what you have. I often worry about the future and find myself forgetting to live in the present and enjoy what’s here and in front of me. I always wear the same coat to school because it makes me feel safe throughout the school day. I fear that I am not funny or good enough for things like being in a group project because I am scared me talking would ruin any and everything. I often feel pressured to have my entire life planned out ahead of me and know what I want to do in my adult years. I have found like taking care of myself in little ways makes me feel 100% better even on a relatively bad day. I can come off as a stand-offish and mean person but i’m just scared to articulate what I really feel because it’s awkward for me. I think I want to adopt kids when i’m older because I feel like everyone deserves to look back at something beautiful in their childhood and I want to give kids that experience. Or I would be a Foster Mother. I want to meet so many people and hear their story but i’m not sure how to make people feel comfortable enough to share such things about them to me.

Guys I'd love if any of you would vote on which aspect you think I should expand on in my common app essay. 1. I am oldest sibling of 2 other sisters 2. I love rain. The smell of rain, thunder, the aesthetic. I don’t understand why people don’t love the gray mood. 3. I can’t decide between vanilla and chocolate. 4. Whenever I fall out of an ideal routine, I tend to get overwhelmed and go into a frozen state.I abandon things completely. 5. I adore animation and animated movies. With films, it is the usual case for the possibilities to be endless but with animation the degree of spontaneity and chance is more profound. 6. I love reading. I love immersing myself into other point of views. It make me feel that I am experiencing life to the fullest. I am open minded. 7. I don’t think I identify with a lot of GenZ interests and characteristics. I feel like I belong in a past era. Maybe the time of the monarchs. Of kingdoms. Empires. And values. Idk 8. I love epic fantasy. 9. I think I have a musical mind. I don’t play but I associate memories and times with my own or well-known hymns. 10. I think the way we are treated in our childhood, the way we then perceive the world and any values/ traumas we build, define the core of our character. It gets lost and found from time to time but that’s who we really are. 11. I think it is philosophically paradoxical to say that if no one judged anyone, there was no criticism or self-conflict the world would be the best place. Technically correct but logically contradictory. 12. I prefer calls over texts or voice mails. 13. I think social media has harmed the quality of human connection more than it has helped it. 14. I can write better than I speak to communicate. 15. I have a constant urge to be out there in the world. I secretly hate cities. 16. My brain is always predicting if something is cringe, made another person cringe, was cringe in the context of so and so person saying it. I overthink about it. It makes me confused between the choice to be blunt and express raw emotion. 17. I have a fear of pouring myself over a page as much as a love for the idea of being able to do so. I like the secrecy of my mind. There is no experience like it. 18. I feel like making a choice (any choice) is the most important thing we will ever do. And we do it all the time. What does that add up to? 19. I wanted to be a water bender when I grow up. It is my favorite element. 20. I want to be someone everyone remembers for years to come but I also want to be as secretive as I can. 21. I am strong willed.

Have a picture of me touching Santa Clause's beard. Love reading books (Have read 45+). I keep very personal, sentimental objects. Translate church service to Spanish. Have a tradition of going to DQ or Guadalupana, (a small little restaurant) for my birthday. Have a tradition of getting a bacon avocado from WAWA with my dad. I would write school problems with chalk on my windows. I talk and explain what I am doing as I do it. (ex: cooking, cleaning) I constantly pretend my swifter or mop is my dance partner and like to dance bachata or merengue with it. (That is embarrassing). I would write personal reviews of books/stories analyzing the characters and put them in a box.

I actually wrote the first draft of the personal statement , there were alot of ideas but I was afraid of being far of my self so, I wrote about something else that talks about loving my self and how could I started to listen to voice of my soul , I talked about the previous part of my life when I aas ignoring myself and working hard to make myself attractive without caring about my own voice and the the time where I started to love my self regardless of mistakes , I mentioned at the last of this topic a story of creating a writing club previosly and having a footprint in the others' life , I don't know if that is a good topic or good structure but the most thing I enjoyed is being honest and being able to share my real story .I am still aware of this topic because I did not share a story in my life, but instead I talked about myself in narrative way , could you help me with that ?

I have been playing video games for over 12 years. I like to think about questions which are societally shunned. I love interacting with others whilst playing against each other. Love makes me feel sad, yet incredibly happy. I am afraid of upsetting my mother. I feel like I have led my brother astray. Sometimes, I find myself being hypercritical. I become angry at others for performing above me with actions which seem amateur. I find myself bored of eating the same food because it is so lacking in taste that I would like to learn cooking. I have felt frustrated at the fact I lacked money when I wanted to buy equipment. I feel insecure about myself in regards to how I look. I like to perform physically because it really gives the sense I am using every ounce of myself. I like to think a lot about things so that I am able to argue against others and hold my ground. I want to find the purpose of my life which I think I can conjure through many experiences. Although I find trying new things unsettling, it is still quite exciting enough that it makes me want to explore it. I feel unfairly judged about my past which was spent as a gamer. I strongly believe that with enough effort and repetition, I will achieve great things.

I got a low end pc when I was 6

I think one of the major contributing factors in me considering many sensitive topics was that I was a gamer. I remember playing cs 1.6, warcraft, zooma, star war games. I spent my childhood playing games and watching tv. Hence, I didn't perform academically well since I didn't even try in the first place. Everyone in my family forced me to study. To this day, they still criticize me, asking me what I had done the previous night. When they guess, it's always gaming. I had no reason to study, but I was told to study. Gaming felt like my life. I felt respected by others when I had gained experience and knowledge after spending months. I met new people and different types of people. Learning skills in games felt easier than learning through reading many pages of textbooks. Then my rebellious phase started.

To me, To the younger me, Video games was the only window I could look through to find happiness and see the essence of life.

[@kurisey8020]

I think the schools I attended were suppressive. I had bullies and the teachers were distant. The hierarchy was set.

[@kurisey8020]

I get a rush of happiness when I read chinese fiction light novels that probably displays the ideal life I want, so when I am forced to study or even progress towards higher education, I am afraid I will not be able to read them anymore. These novels consist of the mc constantly striving to improve himself, whilst greeting danger and fortune. The mc meets many great people, and he's smart too.
