"Who are you?" No idea how to write about this [5]
thank you, heres my first draft:
Along my journey in life I have made many mistakes. My current situation is by far the worst scenario I have dealt with. I developed bad habits and lost focus on what I wanted to do with my life. I never want to have to go through this type of situation again. The Drug Court Program constantly reminds me of the mistake I made. I am over this part of my life and look forward to making healthy and constructive decisions.
23 years ago my family moved from Colombia to the United States to start a new life. I was third born kin but the first to be a United States Citizen. I was blessed with opportunity to explore the world, test my strengths and find my interests. These interests have molded who I am today and have given me the focus to be successful.
Electronics have always been my passion. I can remember being a young boy and opening up every type of electronic device I would get my hands on. As I grew older I began to modify game consoles in order to "unlock" the devices full potential. Currently, I have a side business repairing computers, "jailbreaking" iPhones, and creating websites. These experiences have greatly affected me as an individual by making me a more innovative person.
In addition to electronics, I am a health enthusiast. My older brother introduced me to the bodybuilding world. I began working out at the age of 13. Soon enough working out was my passion. I studied diet and new exercises daily. I would wake up at 4 AM in order to work out before school and would force down at least 100 grams of protein daily. After my freshman year at Florida State University I then worked at the Leach Center as a personal trainer. This lifestyle has made me into a motivated and determined person and I know I can apply these same principals to any situation.
I want to be successful, and I know I have what it takes. I was distracted for a short period of my life but after having to go through this horrible experience I am now the most focused I have ever been on accomplishing my life goals. Higher education is a prime factor I need to really make a difference in the world and I hope that Florida State University brings me one step closer towards my goals by readmitting me.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Respectfully,
Alexander Torres
