Mahatma Gandhi once said, “If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning When I read that quote, I think of being a determined person with self-confidence. At the beginning of my junior year in high school, I was given a personal quiz determining whether you are a “D”, “S”, “I” or “C”. the directions were to draw a circle, and to draw a vertical line. The top half was extrovert, and the bottom half was introvert. I shaded in the top half because I am very outgoing person. the next step was to draw a horizontal line. the right side was task, and the left side was people. I choose the left side because I can get things done the way things need to be done. when all …show more content…

I am always disappointed in myself when I see and “B” on my report card because I know I have the potential to get all A’s. Most of the reason I get B’s for is because I am not interested in what the project is. I will do everything how it needs to be done but I will tend to not put much effort in it, but if I find something that I am interested in, I will not put whatever i’m working on down. For example, in my biology class last year we had to search for a disorder that traveled through genetics and make a poster informing the class about the disorder. In the past couple years I have been having really bad stomach problems and the doctors were leaning towards diagnosing me with crohn's disease, so I choose to research it because I didn't know much about it.

I work very good alone and tend to feel peaceful when I do things a lot because I know that all I have to depend on is me. For example when I created the double helix made of cake balls I tried to do all the work and I told my partner what to get me, instead of letting them help build it. I do not like when people copy my ideas even a little bit because I wanna be the best and I want to be different. Also when I was in biology, my freshman year, my class had to make a lesson on photosynthesis. we had to pair up with someone and come up with our idea together. My idea was to make a musical video, and my partners idea was to just make a poster because she thought that it would just be easier. I disagreed and said that she could make her own poster and I was make the video myself. When the project was all over with, we had to present to the whole class, and everyone had posters, and i was the only one with a video. Everyone enjoyed it and thought that it was funny. I got a 100% on it and basically everyone else did too. My partner was right about the poster being easier but i felt more proud of myself because i feel like i'm the only one that actually
