    Before we moved to Chicago, I spent the summer at my friend's house. It was very memorable and it made it easier for me to adjust to the environment in Chicago. I became more open-minded about the fact that I was moving and that summer made me realize adaptability is a part of life.

  • Creative

    Creative
    During quarantine, I would express my creativity by trying out different activities. One thing I enjoyed trying out during this time was knitting and drawing. I would have a lot of extra time on my hands, so I was able to spend a lot of time working on these.
  • Caring

    Caring
    I display my caring attributes in many different ways. One example of this is when I went to Chicago Mosque and others along with me we gave flowers and thank you cards to the neighbors near the mosque. We wanted to do a kind act for them and thought this was a nice way to do it.

    Studious
    When I entered high school in the fall of 2022, I realized that I had to focus on my school work and attempt to raise my grades. I was struggling a lot in 8th grade so I decided to work on my studying and become more studious and hard working in school.

  • Organized

    Organized
    When I'm working on something either at home or at school, I always like to keep an organized space. This helps me think clearly and keeping a clean and neat area helps declutter the minds of people around me as well. It benefits myself and others.
  • Humorous

    Humorous
    Everyday usually during lunch or on the weekend when I'm hanging out with my friends, I often try to find a way to add a humorous aspect to whatever I say. My friends sometimes tell me my jokes are funny or just the way I talk is humorous. Whenever I spend time with my sister as well we usually end up laughing at each others jokes most of the time.
