Heather GreggArt&Arc –Discussion 1HWDYDWYD? Final Draft EssayI want to find myself. 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! 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 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. I take all of these chances because I have learned that when I do take chances, they usually point me in the right direction and end up teaching me new things about myself. Past experiences have taught me things like my love for traveling, photography, cultural foods, and volunteer work with children. Hopefully along the way I discover a passion for something so strong, I will be confident enough to devote my life to it.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.
