Throughout my life, I've had so many great memories. One thing that is similar between all of them is that they contain my family in them. Specifically, this summer, my mom, my brother, my sister and I went back home to Pakistan after 6 years. We got to see our family after so long and it was nice being together with everyone. We took a trip down to the northern area of Pakistan where there were many lakes and mountains. At night, we all sat outside in the cool weather and we talked for hours while we drank chai (tea). This was a memory that has stuck with me because most of my family was there and we got to laugh together and just enjoy each other's presence. It was also so nice seeing all the beautiful lakes and nature in general.

My worldview is different from how others around me including my friends and family view the world. I believe that everyone is equal and when we give we are sure to get. I'm also a strong believer in forgiving others but never forgetting. I always will forgive others no matter how wrong they have done me because that's what I believe. I believe everyone deserves a second chance, maybe even a third or fourth chance because we are human and are not perfect. I know if I was in a position where I kept on making mistakes, I wouldn't want the world to give up on me, I would want them to have faith in me. I also believe in God and praying because it affects my whole life. I believe that when I put my trust in God everything becomes alright and I find peace. I also believe that we should respect everyone no matter their race, gender, age, etc. Although I do believe in all science-proven theories I also think that religion plays a part in how the world came to be. Religion aside, I think we all deserve respect and human rights.

In psychology, we learned about how others have different types of intelligence. I have found that my specific intelligence is interpersonal. This is because I know my strengths and weaknesses very well. I also work toward achievements, and I like to work independently because it helps me work more efficiently. I also think no one knows me better than I know myself which is why I can improve my weaknesses and my strengths. This intelligence allows me to achieve my goals because I get to better myself, give myself breaks when I need and maintain my mental health all at the same time.

Emotions are temporary experiences with negative or positive characteristics that are felt differently by people. I have learned that letting out sad emotions is normal to achieve happiness. I like to keep my sad and angry emotions to myself which sometimes is not the healthiest way of coping. However, I always like to show happiness and smile so it can maybe make other people's day better. Learning about emotions has helped me understand that it is okay to feel sad and angry, however, it is important to balance happiness with all our other emotions as well. I also am an emotional person and take things to heart very easily. It is important for me to recognize why I am feeling sad and how I can fix it. Throughout my life, it has been hard for me to share my emotions with people who care about me because I always have felt the need to be happy. Now, as I'm getting older I try to let others know when I'm not doing my best and when I need some alone time. I've realized that to be happy and receive support I need to let my loved ones know when I'm not at my very best.

For the past few years, I have always doubted my religion. My family raised me as a Muslim, someone who believes in God and prays. The stereotypes about Muslims and them being terrorists, made me neglect my religion. I grew up to be more afraid of God(Allah), than love him. This held me back, I never prayed, I hid my religion from others, and I was ashamed of it. As I grew up, I would always come across tiktoks that talked about Islam and the act of prayer. I remember seeing this one video that talked about how much God loves his creations and how much he loves to forgive. This was also a very difficult time in my life as I was struggling with my mental health. That night, I prayed, I prayed for the first time in years, and something that night changed. I learned to be proud of my religion and practice it, rather than not identifying it. A quote from the Quran (Islam's holy book) that helped me get through this journey was "And he found you lost, he guided you"93:7. every time I read this quote it reminds me of myself because for me, I was lost and that video was a sign for me to put my trust in him (God). So as I move forward in life, I like to educate others about muslims. It's important for me to be proud of my religion.

I value three things the most in my life God, family, and friends. My religion allows me to shape my worldview. My family provides me with character, love, and support. My friends allow me to be myself and have fun. These three things help me become the person I am because their support helps me be who I am. I love getting to spend time with my friends and family because they give meaning to life, they provide a purpose.

I find my brain works better when everything is organized and clean. this includes myself, good hygiene, and a clean room makes me have a clearer mindset. this is a schema that helps me learn and focus better on things/tasks. Another schema I have developed throughout my life is being afraid of dogs. Since I spent a good portion of my childhood in Pakistan, where dogs are wild and bite. When I moved to Canada this fear continued since I was only used to wild dogs.

I try to maintain a positive attitude most of the time so others around me can feel comfortable. My attitude changes when something negative affects me for example, when my siblings annoy me I have an angry/bad attitude. I also have a bad attitude when someone is disrespectful towards me. I also have friends with postive attitudes most of the time so it is unusual to me when someone has a negative attitude for no reason.

A lot of stereotypes tie into social perceptions however, it's important we recognize that stereotypes are not reality. I always treat others how I want to be treated. With that being said, I treat them with respect and kindness. if I don't get that in return, then I know that they are not the best for me or maybe they are just insecure and want to gain validation by making me feel bad about myself.

As I mentioned, I learn best when my surroundings are organized and clear. I also learn best with visuals and memorization. Having a visual allows my brain to grasp a topic and lock it into my brain. I think it's important for me to understand something rather than just memorize it because, to me, that is not learning if I don't understand it. Visuals help me understand why something might be the way it is.

I have three siblings, Hadi (17), and Hazel (6). I moved to Canada with my mom and brother in 2013, so we could be with my dad. My dad worked so hard for us and now we all live happily together. My favorite food is Pakistani/desi food. I love to wear desi clothing. My favorite artist of all time is Drake, and my favorite song is Jungle by Drake. When I was younger I did figure skating up to grade 7, then covid hit and I stopped. I like psychology and It's one of the only classes I enjoy doing. I also love to hang out with my friends and family. I'm scared of dogs, which is why we don't have any pets. My favorite season is summer because everything is perfect, no school, warm weather, and I get to travel. My family has traveled a lot including Dubai, America, Pakistan, and almost everywhere in Canada. My dream is to move to Toronto sometime after high school and become a nurse or dentist.
