'Independent, Artistic, Curious' - 3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF ESSAY [5]
MY SECOND DRAFT. I get rid of the curiosity part because I cannot find anything else to back it up.
ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS A LOT.
Finding the perfect school to apply is pretty much the same as looking for the right partner. To be honest, I have been your secret admirer for a while now. But I do not want to continue stalking you from more than 7900 miles away. I want to be with you. So if you, John Bapst, and I were going to have this two-year relationship with each other, I would like to introduce myself a little.
Independent
We were in debt. When I was only an innocent three-year-old girl, our family faced a severe financial problem. So my parents had to immigrate to South Africa with the hope of finding new opportunities. Since then, I have lived with my grandparents and gradually grown into a girl of independence and maturity. I learned to cook for my family at the age of ten, I went to school alone by bus, on foot even. And when my little sister was born, my parents brought her back to Vietnam and ever since, my main job at home was to take care of her. Sometimes, when life gets hard, bad things happen in school, or at times when I get sick, I just feel like giving up. But then I think of my parents and I hold my head high and keep trying. Still, I never blame them for anything because I know everything they have done is for me and my family.
Artistic
Or art inclined may I say. I am engrossed in everything involving arts and music. I give my family, the whole neighborhood the pleasure of hearing my voice at my highest pitch accompanied with the help from my precious guitar. That is the moment when the world submerges and the music comes the life. Also, the beauty of nature inspires me. I would spend an entire day wandering around both on foot and by bus with a camera, taking photos of whatever catches my interest. I like to draw things out to solve problems; with that, the solution would turn out to be more creative and unpredictable and a lot of times, more productive.
Shy but confident
Shy, or meek, is a remarkable characteristic of mine. But do not get me wrong, I am not that kind of person who sits alone in the corner of the class staring at the wall. I am articulate enough to always get a nine over ten when it comes to presentations in literature or history class. Also, I am an effective vice president of the class. Whenever I stand on the platform to inform the class about something, they would remain silence. But still I stay approachable and helpful whenever my classmates need assistance. Sometimes I appear meek and vulnerable so that people would open up to me more.
So there they are, my three main characters. I hope we will soon be a perfect match.
