 ABOUT ME 

"Tell me about yourself" has always been a nerve wrecking, I have been described as tenacious, my efficiency and planning and how naturally assertive I am. These traits have been given to me by people who have observed the way I work, handle difficult situations as a whole , calculated my achievements. I have always set goals for myself, I enjoy the pursuit of elevating myself, be it through learning a new skill, language of committing myself to improving a hobby I currently have. Health has always been a struggle, weight maintenance or loss is no easy feat; it takes consistency. My first test of will was when I was diagnosed as obese, for health purposes it was necessary  to make changes. In two years I lost twenty-five kilograms. During a poetry program I took up in school, I fell in love with writing, and especially with poetry. I continued writing, and my poetry only became better. I have been writing poetry for 11 years now.  There has never been a point of my life that I've been idle, I think you could say I enjoy change. From the slightest thing like spontaneously cutting my own hair to learning a completely new language. I juggle multiple things at once, although I have not mastered multi-tasking I take pride in my productivity. Juggling getting a degree, working part time, learning Spanish, exercising regularly and taking care of my pets. Something I've observed about myself is that I refuse and purposely choose to think and evaluate things differently from everyone else. I can be painfully optimistic, but I start my analysis of a situation not from the tip, but the bottom of the iceberg. I feel there is always more to people, places and dilemmas. 

I have always told myself, sort of my mantra,

be afraid and do it anyway.
