I want to find myself. The main reason I do what I do is because at the end of the day, I want to be one step closer to finding out “who I am” and what exactly I want to live for. Granted I have many reasons to live, I have a loving family, great friends, and a wealth of opportunities in store for me as I embark on my college life here at UCLA, but I want to find my passion, and my identity. I don’t believe it is necessary to define myself, and I am not striving to be part of a group or clique, I just want to know what I am all about! I think the best way I can do that is by exploring and taking as many chances as I can, no matter how socially awkward or sleep depriving they turn out to be. Moving on from my very small, private high school and going to a big public university, living in residence halls, taking classes I am not used to and joining a sorority are all things I am doing because I want to take chances and explore my interests and hopefully along the way find a passion, which I believe can help me find myself.I will continue to take chances in the future and explore my interests, and even give second chances to things I might have sloughed off as being boring or out of my league. I’m willing to keep doing what I do, that is taking chances and trying new things, in order to find myself in the end.
