I love watching dance shows like Dancing With The Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. Dance has a beautiful artistry to it where it always tells a story. I also wish to become a great dancer someday. Another form of artistry I love is music. I like to listen to music from all genres and from different countries. I tend to listen to a lot of rock music specifically the from the band Paramore. Music relaxes me and also motivates me to do things. Another thing that relaxes me is playing games whether it is board games or video games. Just like movies and books, video games expresses an idea in a different way. Games actually let you interact with these worlds unlike movies and books. This is why I like games. All of this things is comes from the creativity of the mind, which is why I like

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

However, while some find solace and pride in answering this thought provoking question, it has always stirred in me a feeling of angst and confusion.

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    I have a interest in reading, writing, and music. Without those three things my life would be peculiar. I admire reading because I am able to escape this crazy world we live in and enter a wonderful alternate world. When I read it feels like I am alone even if I am surrounded by hundreds of people, I am able to tune them out and focus on my book. Writing lets me have control over something in my life and I feel a sense of security when I am writing.…

    I’m not a big fan of the popular sentiment and Lady Gaga motto of being, “born this way.” While the intentions are inclusive and positive, it ultimately takes away all agency of the individual and the significance of their experiences in shaping their ever-developing personality. In reflecting on my own upbringing, I can see the people and situations that have led me to my current understanding of myself. As a quiet observer, I absorbed everything I am from the people around me who I considered important, and slowly came to critically observe both these people as well as myself in order to make sure that I could feel confident and satisfied with my own beliefs and identity. I lived the entirety of my first 18 years in Rockford, IL, a large…
