My concern with the way I dress and the following objects that surround me and that I bring out to trips with me often receive compliments. I’ve never realized I had my own style of dressing until a girl told me so and I believe a factor that played in that was the three times a week of me having to dress up for church when I was a little girl.

Ever since I was a little girl my urge to begin drawing happened when one day I was laying in bed watching the news on Channel 7 and there was a news story about a dime and when I saw the side view of the man's face I quickly ran for a paper and a pencil to try to draw the man's side view. Since then I’ve had days where I practiced drawing. Besides drawing I love to read books and listen to all kinds of genres of music! :o

When I go upstairs or downstairs, I exercise, I get embarrassed,  fluttered, or it is cold outside - My cheeks turn pink and sometimes my nose too. Sometimes I’ll get comments like, “Are you wearing blush? Your cheeks are really pink.”

I’ve drank coffee since I was younger. My mother has always made our coffee from home with Nescafe and vanilla milk. I still drink coffee ‘til this day just not as much. One memory in particular - Coming to my math class freshman year with coffee and showing my partner how to solve a math problem and the teacher coming over saying I’m ready to go to college with my coffee - a comment that inspired me to go to college.

When it comes to sports like volleyball, basketball, running, tennis, badmitten, I love to try my best and try my hardest. Being raised with two brothers and sisters has given me the ability to easily grasp a sport and learn quickly on how to get better and to be better. Take back to the time I went up against a gym teacher I had beef with during a volleyball tournament.

A lot of the times from all my friendships and conversations with others I have always been told something about me being honest. Half the times I am told I am respected by them for being honest and other times people consider it as very blunt and rude. My trait of honesty wasn’t always there. When I was younger I lied a couple of times to my family and everytime I would tell my family anything they would ignore me and it would hurt my feelings so then I decided to be more honest in fear of being ignored and called a liar again.

I’ve seen myself grow as a person. I know deep down that the interests I have in my heart are good. I’ve gone through a lot of obstacles and although those obstacles made me into a small bitter pessimistic person in middle school I learned to grow into a more understanding, empathetic, optimistic person. I once thought that being bitter and closed up was the only way to be strong through tough times but those who took their time to listen to me showed me that I’m not alone and I don’t have to be.

When it comes to any sort of relationship with others and I see I grow soft, kind, and vulnerable when I am with those I feel strong about. Family, friends, or boyfriend. I’ve grown that trait from my mother and seeing my parents try to divorce once a day didn’t change my mind about the idea of love. Rom-coms and my mothers affection paved the path for this trait in me.

As a young girl seeing a lot of women and girls wear makeup made me feel like I wanted to accept my skin and my body and not try to put anything heavy to enhance my facial looks. I would get questions like if I’m wearing makeup or if I have a skincare routine. Oftentimes when I want something I try to go for it naturally - like using almond oil for long eyelashes.

Having a rough childhood made me quiet and oftentimes I was stressed with problems my parents had to deal with. Here and there I need to have a few moments of quiet time or I get easily annoyed but the cons of having a quiet moment is the overthinking. I used to overthink about my problems, relationships, small things no one should really focus too much on but when I began to do hobbies during my sophomore year of high school and began working two jobs, I began to be more optimistic and I had very little time to overthink and reflect on my past! :)

My parents have always struggled financially and I didn’t see that until I was in fourth grade and it didn’t go so well up until my freshman year. We’ve been evicted out of three homes when I was born, probably more too when I wasn’t born. Being poor though made me deteriorate mentally but going to a good high school with great caring teachers saved my life and mental health and that’s where I gained motivation to go to college.

Some of the regrets I have I would think about everytime when I overthink. Most of these regrets are things I’ve said or done when I was a young kid. Some were hurtful words I, my young self never knew the meaning behind and other regrets had to do with things that made me embarrass myself. I’ve learned from the mistakes I’ve made that hurt others but I realized that all my regrets I have are things I shouldn't really regret. It wasn’t my fault I was a young, naive, uneducated, curious kid. Kids are going to be kids and say stupid things or do stupid things and that isn’t something I should regret.

The worst year in my life was 2016. I was in 8th grade at a middle school with emotionally abusive and irresponsible teachers but besides that I was often bullied by girls and it was always the same two three groups of girls LOL. At the time my family and I we’re living in one room at our grandparents house and our two cousins. Our grandparents were very emotionally abusive, my cousins were very rude and our parents had a lot of anger they would take out on us from all the stress of adult problems. That same year in a week my mother got breast cancer, we got in a car crash, and my sister was expelled from our religion (preventing us from talking to her).

Growing up I loved my two sisters for their style and girly accessories but I loved playing with my two brothers Legos, Nerf guns, and video games. Being closer with my brothers influenced me into playing more games and to buy my own Xbox. I have it as my side hobby - another thing I practice with to get better at. In the future I plan to become a PC player - while I’m getting my Bachelors Degree! :)
