Fall '20 Intern
Abraham Lincoln High School
Class of 2021
I visit many reading and shopping websites. I visit MangaDex and online libraries for my daily fix of books and entertainment since I love to read. I also visit different brands’ websites to explore their looks and search for clothes that I can feel comfortable and confident in. Both literature and fashion are very important to me.
Today, I would describe myself as a very expressive and passionate person. I remember regretting keeping silent as a little girl when I had tons of ideas swirling around in my mind, so those mistakes and regret have inspired me to be bolder and braver than ever. Nowadays, I am unafraid of making mistakes. I am unafraid of taking risks in unexplored terrains in life.
I would spend all of my time with my online friends or trying new foods across the globe, naturally. I’d love to catch up with friends from other places and continents since there’s certain emotions and stories that can’t be expressed properly through digital platforms. I’d also love to try more tasty meals all the time since each new flavor tells a new story. The processes behind the creation of certain delicacies and desserts are so amazing and it feels like I’m bringing that story along as I try that new food.
Some people think I’m a little pessimistic, but I’m actually quite optimistic. They probably mistaken my blunt statements as negative jabs. Others probably think I’m shy but often I am simply uncomfortable being blunt in front of them. It’s hard to be honest with certain people so they only see the clammed-up version of me.
Naturally, I’d spend every second with my loved ones, making as much memories as I could within my last hour. I would surround myself with my closest family members and friends. I wouldn’t want them to see my end as a sad memory because death is an inevitable and natural part of human life. I want them to remember all the lively moments we spent together, including that very last hour.
I cannot live without my friends. I constantly feel the need to banter and converse with friends who have both similar and wildly different opinions so I can better understand others’ perceptions of the world. I constantly want to hear their input on certain topics like which outfit styles I should go for. I’d certainly go crazy if I could never contact any of my closest friends again.
I would force everyone to abide by the rule of never raping or sexually assaulting others. This is inarguably immoral in my opinion. Sexual abuse of any sort is absolutely unacceptable. Even though I have not personally experienced much sexual assault, the vivid anecdotes that I’ve heard from terrified victims disgusts me immensely.
I’ve never volunteered for a charity run with HIM yet. But when I will in the future, I’ll be motivated by the fact that many people are relying on my efforts to make the run a smooth experience. I am merely one person, but my hard work is still needed. I need to try my best and I can begin doing that by simply being on time and even early.
HIM reminds me to be more selfless. There’s always others depending on me, so I must always be responsible and careful. Heart in Motion has taught me that I can’t just do something because it’s convenient for myself. I must think about the needs and time restraints of others as well.
I haven’t been with HIM for a long time yet, but this experience what’s been a generally positive one so far. The program is quite organized and timely. I never feel like this internship program takes up too much of my time. I’ve learned the importance of deadlines and communication skills through this program.
Life indeed is a game. You must always be respectful to those who are helping you, especially if you’re in a dire situation. You must try your best to be as honest as possible in order to avoid misunderstandings. You must try your best in order to succeed in any aspect of life.
I want to be remembered as a creative, witty girl who never hesitated to express her opinion or pursue her passions. I want to be someone who’s helped bring some sort of positivity in other people’s lives. Even though I’m not the most talented person ever, I want to be seen as someone who’s tried her best at doing something that she loved. I want to be seen as vivacious and bold.
