Essay Prompt 1: What is one thing that we don't know about you that you want for us to know?

One thing that you do not know about me, is that I am an introvert. Unlike other people, I enjoy spending most of the time keeping to myself. However, I do take pride in being an introvert, as I do find time to reflect on my past, as well as to make plans for the future. When I am alone, my mind is buzzing with dreams such as that of making the first flying car, or me winning the Nobel Prize. Also, being an introvert, means having less friends. People look down on it, but I consider it an advantage, as this gives me fewer distractions, thus helping me complete my work on time. I also feel that instead of having a huge social circle, it is better to have a few friends who understand and accept you for who you are.

However, there is a downside to being an introverted person. My introverted nature did lead to me wanting to solve my problems without the help of anybody, even though I was confused. There have been a couple of times, where I never asked my teachers or family for advice, at times when I needed it, which led to a short setback in my high school career. In my later years of high school, I learned the importance of opening up about your problems.
