I was born on September 1, 2006. I am the only person in my family born in the fall. Everyone else, my dad, mom, and sister were born in Spring. from what everyone tells me, I was a really fussy baby.
-
My sister was born in 2011, she is five years younger than me and is the total opposite of me. She was very obedient and calm.
-
My first zoo visit is probably my favorite memory of my childhood. I remember being really scared, which you can tell by the picture, but it was fun,
-
In 2014, everything changed for my family because we moved to Chicago, and it wasn't subtle at all. I feel the change in the atmosphere and I still do to this day.
-
So, I began in 3rd grade, and this was super stressful for me because I had no idea how to speak English, I just had to let body language guide me. I had to depend on other people who spoke my language to help me, which they did, but it's never a good feeling having to depend on someone,
-
I tend to bee to empathetic sometimes. I just care enough that I sometimes ignore my own feelings and focus others. I always make sure to appreciate that, but sometimes it can be exhausting.
-
Around the beginning of 4th grade, I started genuinely getting better at speaking English and I began making friends and connecting to America.
-
I felt so overwhelmed coming to Serbia for the fist time since I moved. I was excited, but definitely nervous because when I moved, I had to break out of some habits I used to take because it was such a drastic change. However, I ended up loving it and recognizing the peace it brought me, so now I go every summer.
-
So, I do consider myself a risk-taker because I don't just take risks, I enjoy taking risks. For instance, the first time traveled to Europe, I traveled alone at 12.
-
I am very authentic because I believe it's an honorable trait and important. It's not easy to be real and genuine, so I really appreciate people who are. I try be because I've learned it's the best policy.
-
I like to fantasize and live in an imaginative world, I don't prefer reality, which sounds a bit odd, but I like being creative and intentive.
-
My mom always tells me I'm very charismatic and when you meet me, you just immediately fall for the charisma. She tells me I'm very fun to be around, which I appreciate and hope it is that way.
-
Funny enough, I graduated online, I didn't get to do any of the activities graduates would usually get to do. I just received my diploma and moved on.
-
So, I spent my entire Freshman year at home, in front of a computer. I actually have never seen the Freshman campus in person, which is a bit sad, but plan to eventually. The beginning was tough, everything was new and more serious.
-
This is my number one goal in life. I don't want t depend on anyone when it comes to my life. Later in life, I want t be able to provide for myself and the people important to me. I don't want anyone doing it for me,
-
I am probably too patriotic, I have so much love for my country and where I come from. It's probably one of the first things my friends noticed about me.
-
With all the good traits, there are some that aren't the best. I have a tendency to be ignorant of really anything, and it's not because I don't care, I just sometimes don't want to hear other people out.
-
Sophomore year went really well and easy for me. However, I think it was really chaotic due to all the traffic in the hallways, it still is, but I'm used to it now. I prefer my Sophomore year more than any other so far.
-
I am very thankful for my family and friends the most. I wouldn't be able to do half of things today without them. My friends help me stay sane sometimes. My family provides for me the things I can't by myself.
-
I have very high goals and just things I want to achieve by a certain time period. I just like having goals and the ability to reach them
