Personal Statement

When I think about myself as a person, I think of all of my accomplishments in life. I think of my strengths which include my determination, and patience. I also realize how passionate I am about certain things. Along with my strengths come my weaknesses which include my will to listen to others. I sometimes do not give them the attention they need, which is a weak point of my that I am trying to fix. I feel that I am good at communicating with others and being creative. Since I enjoy art, I feel that that plays a role in my mind and body more than anything. My creative side comes out more than 70% of my day and I get to use a side of my brain I would;t normally get to use. Something I need to work on is my listening to others. I tend to talker

I have experienced many things as well as been able to join many clubs and volunteer with any things which helped me grow as a person and helped my decide my future. Growing up, I almost lost my brother because of a disease called Kawasaki’s disease. It is a rare disease that attacks blood cells inside the body and inflames them. Me, along with my family spent about 2 weeks in the hospital just waiting for him to improve. Also at young age I was told I would be a big sister too soon. When I was 2, I was told that my mom was pregnant, only to be told a couple weeks later tat they baby had went to visit another mom’s tummy. Then, a year later, I was gifted with my sister. I take that back, I was given my sister. In high school alone, I have been involved in two theatre productions, a sports team, a language club, and a co-editor of a literary magazine. In just those experiences, I have made new friends, and have been reunited with old ones. I have discovered new talents and likings and have also found a new level of stress. Academically, I have been given the chance to take a preschool lab. Although it took me 4 years, I loved every minute and taking the class only helped me realize how much more I want to teach. I have also been able to babysit my two neighbors who are two of the most difficult kids you will ever meet. Although they are annoying, they have their good moments, which made me appreciate

This family includes, my mom, dad, brother, and sister. I have the strongest relationship with my mother in the family because she is like my best friend. I tell her almost everything and can always talk to her about any problem. The next big relationship I have is with my sister. I share things with her and I know she understands. I love the relationship we share because although it is not always the best we both have vulnerable moments that we need each other for. The relationship I share between my brother is like the relationship with my dad. Since my brother is away at college, I don’t really get to see him and hang out with him although when I do, I make every minute count. With my dad, I don’t really pend quality time with him. Recently I have been trying to do things together and he has showed no interest, leaving me wondering why. When I see this happening, I also see how he interacts with my sister and how he volunteers to do something with her, but not me. I feel he has an attitude towards me of being involved in everything or nothing. My biological heritage is the weirdest thing to me. My dad has blue eyes, and my mom had brown, which results in my hazel eyes. We always used to joke that I was adopted because I had weird colored eyes and freckles of an Irish leprechaun. Culturally I am from an Austrian and French-Canadian descent. My great-grandparents from my dads side came to America from Austria, and I
