I vowed to work as hard as my peers and past volunteers, who achieved many recognitions and honorable pins. For the first time, I challenged myself to initiate conversations with anyone while pushing my introversion beyond the cozy comfort zone, even when my inner voice tells me I will never succeed.

  • Personal Narrative Analysis

    Curiosity killed the cat they said, but people often forget it the satisfaction that brought it back. Throughout my childhood, I have been intrigued by everything around me. There was never a stone left unturned. Question after question after question, I asked until I was satisfied with the answer; it often drew my elementary teachers insane. As I grew older, I matured and learned more, but my childhood curiosity still lingered with me. In middle school, I was introduced to a club called science olympiad. While at first, I was weary to join -- memorizing textbooks and takings test wasn’t something I wanted to do for fun -- I soon found myself relishing in the task of mixing chemicals and doing lab tests. However, when it was time for the state competition, I was thrown last minute into two other events on top of the ones I was already in. I was only given a couple weeks to prepare.
