Most of the time I am a sleep deprived, over-caffeinated, occasionally temperamental, introverted extrovert. Allow me to explain. As I sit here typing away, pondering the little things about myself, I am fighting the urge to nap. The reason why I am so incredibly exhausted and insufficiently caught up on sleep is because I like to paint. I am an advanced procrastinator or in other words an AP student with a part-time job and so you see my schedule is busy enough as it is without added hobbies. Yet, I am helplessly drawn to my worn brushes and any form that can act as canvas. Other girls have paint on top of their nails meanwhile I have excess ultramarine oil paint permanently stuck under my nails.
Keeping up with my hobby often requires a lot of late nights in my garden shed that also serves as my art

I come from a huge Mexican family which means I am obligated to attend various Baptisms, Quinceaneras, and all sorts of exciting fiestas and I have inevitably turned into a outgoing party-goer. At the same time I also desperately crave alone time and find my safe haven in museums and galleries. I get most of my introverted personality from my father who like me isn't a fan of small talk and instead prefers to blast a diverse range of music during our car rides; I guess he’s also the reason I have become a sort of human music encyclopedia.

Oddly enough I am particularly fond of music thats not in english; France, Korea, and Latin America produce some of my favorite songs in languages I cant understand but can sing perfectly. I have somehow managed to make all of my personal quirks and odd interests invaluable attributes to the person I am today and I wouldn't change a

    Susan Cain, one of the TED speakers and also a Wall Street lawyer, starts off her TED talk "The Power of Introverts" with her experience in the summer camp when she was nine years old. Back then, whenever she tried to pull out a book from her suitcase full of book that her mother had prepared for her to go to the camp, she "got the message that somehow [her] quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go and that [she] should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert" either from her campmate, her camp counselor, or possibly many other people from her other 50 stories. Despite that message, Susan Cain still intuitively believes that introverts like her have their own power, which is especially important in the…

    Cain begins the novel by introducing the introvert lifestyle. She concludes that these individuals are apprehensive, timid, and focused on individuality. Although introverts are perceived to be recluse and isolated, they do socialize and enjoy parties but often need time alone whereas extroverts are always in need of company. I anticipate that the author will demonstrate how extroverts will dominate our society and socially neglect introverts. My life revolves around the struggle between pretending to be an extrovert and acting like an introvert.…

    According to my beliefs, the most valuable entity in my life would be the knowledge of myself. If I did not have any self-awareness of who I was, I would not be in the stage of life of where I am. For example, in one stage of my life when I was clueless of my identity, I was led on by my peers to perform harmful habits such as the use of narcotics. My most valuable entity in my life derives from the fact of humbly accepting that I am not perfect and that I need help. Since I have opened up my beliefs to become more knowledgeable of my limits, I am able to love and carefully examine the people around me.…
