Summary

People often describe me as a very responsible person. Taking responsibility for even the smallest things is something I always strive for. For example, completing the tasks on the to-do list I made. Keeping the promises made to myself seems easy, but it requires a lot of responsibility, and my training like this will play a big role in making my dreams come true. My habit of thinking positively on things is the number one reason people feel I am enthusiastic. Although people describe me as enthusiastic, I often worry I'm not as enthusiastic as I need to be. It is probably because of that anxiety that I am a very talkative and engaging person. Although I might not always feel it inside, I am touched that it reflects positively on me. Although it's not always sunshine inside I definitely feel the need and desire to comfort others in difficult situations. These aspects of me have enabled me to speak two languages. I have adapted and learned to speak both languages fluently, and have experiences that many of my peers at home really wish for. In this way, I will have many experiences in the future too.

Constantly asking myself questions and discovering the answers to those questions is the way to know who you are and to improve myself. When I was younger, I used to have my own Q&A time while showering. Just like the Vogue 73 questions youtube videos. I made a lot of 73 questions with Habeen videos. These times that sound like a joke and meaningless made me who I am today. As I questioned myself like this, I was able to recognize that my brain is growing and my perspective of the world is changing as a result of these questions, and that these changes indicate that I am changing as well. Asking myself has also caused me to think about what I want to do and what the purpose of my life is. When I am experiencing negative emotions or confronted with a negative scenario, rather than accepting it as it is, I ask myself why this problem happened, seek an answer, resolve the problem, and transform myself into a positive one. It's not easy to ask yourself a lot of questions, so I think this is a special super power I have. To grow, I will continue to ask myself many questions and continue to look for answers.
