INTERESTS AND HOBBIES
I’ve have had a lot of different hobbies in my life, but then stopped and find new ones. I like to try new things, because if you stay doing the same thing for a long time, you don’t get to find out if there is something better for you. I even like to try things I’m not sure I am going to like, just to get to know them and then say completely convinced that they are not for me, because that makes you know a little more about yourself.
During my lifetime, I’ve done a lot of sports, such as swimming, gymnastics, ballet, volleyball, ice skating, jazz, and cheerleading. I’ve found out that I’ve learned a lot in team sports but I’m better as an individual person. Apart from that, I’ve tried to do a little bit of gardening and knitting, which I don’t really like, but can be relaxing. Right now I just like to read, write and paint.
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
In Asuncion I was in the debate club for one semester in middle school.
I used to be part of the volleyball team of the school, for two years.
I was part of a volunteer club that had to do with decorating the school, and helping people in art class, for all three years of high school, and I enjoyed it really much.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In my past school I was involved in poetry contests and won three times. In this contest you didn’t have to sign up, it was mandatory to learn a poem and say it in front of the class, and they chose the best ones of each class to compete against other people of the school.
I also won a medal in a long jump competition. This competition was every 2 years, and everyone had to sign up for at least one activity. You competed with the other Asuncion schools from all around the country. Me and my volleyball team won a medal in a district competition as well.
I have a diploma for academic excellence during middle school, that was given to people who have had 90% grades during all three years of middle school.
CHALLENGES
Everyone has faced challenges in their life, and personally, I think that challenges and difficult situations are the things that help you build the person you are now.
One of the challenges I’ve learnt the most, was one time I had a friend with anorexia. It all started because my parents didn’t have a good relationship, they were fighting all the time and I started to feel really lonely. I didn’t have friends in school, and I felt like I had nobody to talk to, and my self-confidence started to faith out. But then, a new girl came to the old school, her name was Ana. Ana and I started to hang out a lot, and after three years we became really close friends. At some point, I started to depend on her, because I felt like she was the only one who cared about me. But then I realized Ana had a lot of trouble in her house too, and she sometimes wanted me to do things that she did, that were not right. She had anorexia and bulimia. Thanks god, my parents stopped fighting and everything back home started to get better and better each day, and I started to have more and more friends. I started exercising, doing the things I liked to, and I looked for help for Ana, even though she changed school and wasn’t willing to help herself. Now that I look back, and find sometimes Ana with her friends, I realize I could be one of them now. And they all are involved in trouble. I’m glad that even though Ana and I were really close, and that she was my only friend, I never did the things she did. I had overcome the challenge of being influenced by other people, when I didn’t have anybody. What I’ve learned? You are never alone. You will always have yourself.
MISSION I will be hardworking, and I will do my best to achieve my goals
I wont be afraid to try new things as long as they dont have a negative effect on my health or in my person
I will satnd up everytime I fall, and I will try my best to learn from all of the bad experiences.
I will not have stereotypes, and I will treat people respectfully.
I will never give up on the things I love.
VALUES
Commitment is about how much time and effort you put on trying to accomplish your goals and I think is one of the most important values for humans, because it shows how interested you are on your own future and your own happiness.
Courage is important to me because even if you fall, you are not going to give up, and you will follow your dreams with confidence.
Wisdom Is important because it will make you learn from your mistakes, so every time you make one, you won’t think of it as a lost, but as a way to improve.
Respect is important because it will help you build healthy relationships with people, and feel peaceful inside.
Forgiveness is something that you will be needing while you are trying to reach your goals. Moving on is important, because humans make mistakes all the time, and the people who surround you are not the exception. Learn to see the good in the bad. Learn to choose your battles. Learn to forgive.
