My name is Jacob Aboud and I just wanted to share with you a bit of myself. In my free time I often find myself playing video games, chatting with friends or family, or working out. I don’t really find myself watching many shows nor movies, but instead prefer to watch YouTube or read different books. I personally love all types of food, my favorite food being kibbeh, a Lebanese dish. In truth, my favorite national food is Lebanese food and I highly recommend it to anyone willing to try it. However, my favorite restaurant is easily one that’s called “El Caribe,” which is a Cuban-style restaurant. While it doesn’t have the absolute best food known to man, I still find it to be my favorite restaurant just because of how well they prepare the food and for the low prices they offer. Lastly, I don’t tend to leave my house every often, but I find Amelia Earhart Park to be the coolest place here in Miami. While Amelia Earhart Park doesn’t have anything necessarily cool about it, it’s the memories that many of us have there and the events that are held.

As of right now I'm working towards a future where I can be happy and proud of myself. I plan to enroll in a university that has a good forensic science program. As of now, I have taken dual-enrollment and AP classes, and will continue to do so in order to make that plan a reality and get ahead of the game. The reason I am looking for a good forensic science program is because I plan to become a forensic scientist in the future. While researching in-state colleges and universities, I found FIU to have one of the best programs as it focuses not only in Biology or Chemistry, but in actual forensics.

If there is one thing that I'm truly proud of is the fact that I've been able to get myself to the point of where I am today. Yes, I did need help getting here from my family and friends; they motivated me. Yes, I needed help from my amazing teachers pushing me to do more, and of course I needed to push myself as well. Looking back I'm glad that I've been able to push myself and be where I am today. I also aim to become a more productive person in the near future, hoping to have a balanced lifestyle with both pleasure and work. I truly believe that if I put my mind into doing something I can accomplish it, to the point where I find this as one of my greatest strengths. However, I have noticed one of my weaknesses to be that I at times take longer than average to complete or understand certain tasks. So I may be a slow starter, but with this current mindset I feel as if I can continue to improve on whatever I set myself to do.

While I've never had a moment in my life that made me feel as if I'm just better than everyone else, I have had moments were I find myself proud and important. One of these memories that I fondly look back on was when I was awarded "Student of the Year" back in 8th grade. I was shocked, yet filled with overwhelming joy when I was first called on stage to be handed this award. It was truly a moment I will never forget; I felt like those brief minutes reflected the years of hard work and determination I strived to achieve.

Looking back, something that I now despise about myself was the way I used to greet people when middle school first begun. Whenever I were to greet someone, either an old friend or new, I would always say the same phrase, "Hello human." Why? I simply don't know. Was it to be quirky? Sure. Was it to be different and stand out? Probably. I don't care why; what I do care about is how in the right mind I somehow thought it was a good idea. Looking back is one sure way to make myself cringe.

Just to set this clear, I can't really see myself as a teacher. Yes, I feel as if I would genuinely enjoy working as a sort of teacher, but I also believe I wouldn't be able to handle the stress and amount of thought I would have to put into the lesson. However, if I were, lets say, an English teacher, I believe the best way to teach someone a new subject/topic is by having a large piece of information and analyzing it in detail with the class. This way I may explain to them exactly what they should note from that said text. I say this because I would be able to provide the class with the whole message or idea that I'm trying to convey while also making them focus on the main idea. This type of reading and writing is a learning style that I find most efficient, and I feel that it could benefit many others. Another reason that I don't see myself fit to be a teacher is due to the fact that I lack creativity, but one way I would keep my students engaged is by making them work together often. I would do this to not only strengthen the bonds of my students with one another but as a way for them to learn from each other and find new ways to improve their skills. Some skills that I would personally like to improve is my time management and the speed at which I do things. One last thing I would like to mention is what I believe to be the best characteristics of a perfect classroom. I truly believe that for a classroom to be perfect both the students and the teacher must be engaged. This way, everyone has the opportunity to accomplish the same goal of learning.
