Undergraduate / "The prophecy came true"- UC transfer template [2]
In my native Romania, when a child celebrates his or her first anniversary it is customary to let the child choose from a plate several objects that would reveal his interests and potential career later in life. I choose a book and a pen, and my parents were told that I would be interested in learning and writing. It seems that the prophecy came true.
If there is something I have always been passionate in my life, something that never ceased to interest me and has always fueled my curiosity, then learning is my passion. I have always had an insatiable appetite for learning about almost everything: history, literature, different cultures. I think that my thirst of learning has always been an attempt to find myself.
I have always been a good student. My passion for learning tought me some excellent skills: to be organized, to work hard, to be patient, to seek help when I have a difficult time, and to offer help to those who had a hard time.
If learning has always been a kind of past time passion, writing became my profession for eleven years. I was a journalist in my native Romania. I entered into journalism without any formal training and my passion of learning proved to be more than useful because I had to learn the ropes of my new career as I went on.
I think I can further confirm the prophecy by following a path in research and teaching. Research is learning, and learning never ends.
I don't know if this essay responds to the requierements in which I have to describe a personal quality, talent, experience that is important to you.
