Last year, I was nominated for our high schools homecoming court. The high school newspaper wrote an article on the nominees and they too asked us to describe something unique about ourselves. I simply answered I cannot whistle, wink, or roll my tongue. However, in this situation, I feel that my response should be a bit deeper. Throughout my brief seventeen years, I have encountered all sorts of people. I believe that the characteristic that sets me apart from most of them is the passion with which I pursue what I want. When I have my mind set on a goal, I do not stop until I reach that goal. Whether it is in academics, sports, or my job, I try to put my best effort into my work. I plan to continue in the attitude that it is “better [to] pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than to fade and whither dismally with age” throughout college and into the rest of my life. At the same time, I realize that it is important for me to be able to have a good time. I never take myself too seriously, and, therefore, I very rarely get stressed or overwhelmed. As of now, I do not know where this philosophy will lead me. My interests range from marketing to management to chemistry to tennis. Wherever my educational path may take me, I plan to pursue it with an avid passion in order to succeed.
