A Short Essay About ME

INTROSO

Who Am I and Why Am I the Way I Am?

I’m just an average guy with simple wants and needs. I enjoy having a quiet time ‘coz it makes me feel peaceful and relaxed. The talkative side of me only comes out when I know the person I’m talking to very well. I’m also not an outgoing person. I usually spend all of my time at home net surfing, watching TV, listening to music, or studying. But when close friends ask me out, I do go out with them, especially if we are in a group, because I love group pictures. I hate seeing group pictures of my friends without, me, being there. I feel jealous. haha. I love food and I’m also not a sporty person, which you can already tell by just looking at me. I find difficulties in breathing when I get very tired. That’s why I hate sports, but not all. I play badminton, volleyball, and chess.

I love nature. I find sight-seeing very entertaining. It’s very refreshing in the eye. I’m an animal lover too. I had many pets way back like dogs, rabbits, birds, fishes, guinea pigs, and chickens. Though I’m an animal lover, I hate reptiles and amphibians. Frogs and snakes give me the creeps. I really hate ‘em.

When it comes to academics, I enjoy math, english, and drawing. These subjects became my basis of what course to take in college. In my high school years, I’m very active when it comes to extracurricular activities. I joined almost every orgs present. I became a member of the student body, a member of the school choir, and even took hard military training during our CAT1. I also participate in every quiz bees, though I only won once. I was a consistent honor student from kindergarten up to 4th year high school. On the other hand, in college, I only joined the orgs, Rotaract and Tinig ng Lasalyano, because I know that Engineering is a tough course and because I want a good balance between my studies and extracurriculars. Luckily, I became successful in maintaining the equilibrium between the two. I even managed to make it on the dean’s list, though it was short-lived. haha.

Even though I consider my studies as my priority, I always make sure that I also have time for myself. During free time, I play computer games, watch movies, play with friends, and go out with the barkada. I have a social life too you know. ;)

None of these would have happened if it weren’t for my Family who took care of me and mold my being as a kid up to now, my Friends who served as my confidant and taught me how to have a social life, and my Teachers who fed me with knowledge which will be beneficial to whatever career I may take in the near future. I Am ME because of them and I am thankful for that. :)

"I enjoy having a quiet time"

I hate to be a party pooper, but I have a feeling that maybe, just maybe, someday you'll regret having that kind of "quiet time/life".. haha LOL... Well that was my case, so it's possible that it will not be in your part. :)

Just dropping by bro..

_Though I enjoy quiet moments, that doesn't mean that i don't like to socialize and all. I enjoy 'em both. I just like the feeling of relaxation that I get when I'm alone. That's all. haha.

Anyways, Thanks for droppin' by. I really appreciate your comments. :)
