Getting to know you

Who I was

     When I was a little kid, I was always very chatty, loud, and I guess you could say I was annoying. I was the first born kid in the family, so as you can imagine, they all loved to spoil me. Growing up, I was daddy’s little girl and I got everything that my little 4 year old heart desired. My wish was his command. Just like any other little girl, I always wanted my mom to dress me up in the cutest clothes that she could find and for my dad to buy me a room full of dolls. One day while I was in Wal-Mart with my parents, I saw this humongous doll that I instantly fell in love with. I turned towards my dad and gave him a huge smile indicating I wanted it, but to my dismay, he shook his head and kept pushing the cart. My little heart couldn’t believe that he had just said no to me, and the tears instantly started to flow. I cried and cried and kicked my tiny legs, begging him to stop and take me out of the cart. He firmly said no again and kept going. I knew that if I cried hard enough that he would eventually have to give in. So that’s exactly what I did and I made the biggest scene possible so that anywhere we walked, all eyes were on us. My mom came rushing towards us to see what had happened and once my dad told her the story, she undoubtedly gave his side. As they made their way towards the cash register, I knew that the end was coming closer. I once again tried to convince my dad to buy me the boll but he just wasn’t changing his decision. As we were leaving, my mom took me out of the cart and the first thing I did was go sit in front of the Wal-Mart doors and refused to leave. Every time they tried to pick me up, I would kick and scream. Finally, when my dad had enough he said that they would leave me all alone here and being the naïve little kid I was, I thought they actually would. Right when my parents started to walk away, I scurried right after them and this time, begged them to pick me up. This story is told at every family gathering and they never let me forget it. 

Who I am

     I have changed a lot since my Walmart incident. I have grown up to be someone who is very responsible and mature because I have two younger siblings that look up to me and see me as their role model. When my parents had left for the weekend, I took care of my siblings and made sure that they were safe until my parents got back home. Even though they would whine and cry about staying up late and just eating junk food, I would always put them to bed on time and would make sure they had a proper meal. I know also realize how hard my parents work just to provide me everything that I need and also want. I am much more grateful and appreciative of them. Generally, I am someone that is very sociable but if I don’t know you that well, I tend to be quieter. Horror movies are my absolute favourite because of the adrenaline rush that they give. My favourite book series has to be “twilight” and “Harry Potter” because they are just doubtlessly fascinating. My favourite school subjects are science and socials but my least favourite is math because I can never wrap my head around the question. For instance, in grade 10 math, my teacher would call out on me for an answer and there were times that I had no idea what the question was even asking. I adore tropical places but can’t stand the heat. As the years go on and I get older, my dislikes and likes also change with me.

Who I will be

      In 20 years, I see myself being a successful doctor, particularly a pediatrician. I want to be able to work with kids and make their lives better so that they can grow up to be healthy and strong. I aspire to be one of the country’s best pediatricians and want to be known for my work all around the globe. One of the biggest dreams that I have is that when I get older I want to travel and visit every big and little place. I want to see the different cultures, foods, and etc. I always want to be travelling and having fun, and at every place that I would go to, I would want to do something new. For example, in Hawaii I would desire to go swimming with the dolphins, ride a gondola in Venice and etc. In the future, I want to be able to buy my parents their dream home so that I can thank them for always being my side and for being the best parents that they could possibly be. I can make this all happen by studying hard. If I do well in university and medical school, I can have my dream job, and be able to earn enough to satisfy my needs and my parent’s needs. By that time, I would hope to be a very calm person, and not someone that gets bitter while growing old. I also just want to be a happy person overall. In 20 years I want to see myself being very positive and upbeat and never stressing over little things. I want to be the person that sees the good in everything and that spreads her positive energy with everybody that’s around her.
