I like reading A Nation of Wimps and watching Glee. I like basketball, Chipotle burritos, and shopping. I value honesty, integrity, allegiance, and scholarship. These are hard and true facts, but there is a lot I do not know about myself. I do not know how I feel about the death penalty, I am ambivalent about religion, and I do not know what my opinions are on politics. I have no stock answer to offer about a life-changing experience or a moment of enlightenment, and it is difficult for me to give a comprehensive statement of who I am, for my identity unfolds more every day as my experiences grow.
However, as I live my life, keeping a keen eye for the future, I know that "my true desire is to leave a name through time." This poem written by Ni Can is truly an inspiration. Like the narrator, I desire lasting fame, not glamour, but as one who is famous inside a group of like-minded people, one that can be very rewarding and certainly worth trying to achieve, the type of fame that can be achieved by skill, hard work, and dedication. I want to be recognizable as Einstein, Curie, or Watson, not necessarily now, but definitely sometime in the future.
I have a great passion for service. I may not have thousands of hours of community service, but I will always lend a hand. Besides, like the narrator, I enjoy going out to seek connections, creating new relationship with others and expanding my network. I am an open-minded person who takes people's best interests at heart. Having an open mind consists of having patience and acceptance of all opinions no matter how different it is from your own.
Since I was young, I have always been drawn into the world of science, everything from a simple prokaryotic cell to the vast space beyond our horizon. I love to explore the endless possibilities of science and I have great passion for the subject and not only am I enthusiastic, but I am also curious. Additionally, I enjoy spending time with children because their youth and zealousness put a smile on my face. Thus, I often spend my volunteer time babysitting or I would also volunteer at places such as daycares, YMCA, or even children's hospitals. Therefore, combining my passion for science, service, and children, I hope to specialize in pediatric oncology sometime in the future.
