Throughout my childhood and teenage, I have lived in various cities across India. Because of this, I have experienced many different cultures, languages and ways of life. My exposure to them has built and developed my character, morals, ethics and molded my attitude towards life and people, and my aspirations. Initially I used to be apprehensive about moving to a new city in my childhood, and ended up being extremely shy and restrained. However, overtime I became more adapting and always got excited about new opportunities and lifestyles that I would get to experience every time I move to a different part of the country.
My parents have always found me to be open to change and quick to settle in the new environment every time we moved, without losing continuity of focus on my goals and interests. They would vouch for my ability to adhere to family values. My friends consider me to be receptive, pleasant and competitive, and peers from different backgrounds find me easily relatable and empathetic. I believe my neighborhood views me as a constructive member of the community as i actively take part in various events, even pertaining to differing faiths.
My upbringing in varied geographies and cultures in the country makes me very flexible, accepting and completely non-discriminatory. I am very proud of these qualities in me.
