Reflection About Myself

After some time of reflecting over myself and characterizing my own self, I have came up with a few characteristics of myself. These characteristics are words I feel can be used to describe myself. The characteristics I have chosen are trustworthy, optimistic, and independent. I find myself to be a pretty trustworthy person. I have been a person that people have been able to come to me with a problem and ask for advice. I can also keep secrets pretty well. An example of something that can contradict me being a trustful person is when I have to lie to someone to keep someone's secret. An example of this is when I had to lie to my dad that my mom was out of town. My parents are divorced and my dad lives about an hour away from Smithville. My mom had to go out of town for a work trip. Since it was during the week, my mom did not want us to have to go to my dads because it would be tough to get back and forth to school. We also knew that my dad would be stubborn and persistent about having us stay at his house.

For example, I find my Honors Advanced Mathematics class my most unique course. It builds upon my ability to critically think, present data or information, and understand higher–level math at a rapid pace. In particular, it is the ability to solve real–world situations and the underlying mystery mathematicians have yet to solve that intrigues me to continue learning. The class expects much of me, but I am aware that it is preparing me for college– and university–level math while providing me with the skills to pursue a career in Architectural/ StructuralEngineering. Ambitious, I set objectives for myself and arrange to accomplish and excel in the process. For instance, I participated in my middle school's academic decathlon with a chance to represent my school in the mathematics single–subject exam. In doing so, I attempted to score a near perfect to perfect score. While the competition did not end the way I expected, I successfully gained a flawless score on the questions
