We all carry many things, whether it's physical or emotional, but we all have something or some things that make us who we are
For example, I can't live without my shoes, i feel like it's a staple to my wardrobe as well as a staple to myself in general. Throughout school I've been known as "that Asian kid with the shoes", which I don't mind, In fact, it satisfies me to know that I'm characterized by something that I'm extremely fond for. It wouldn't be so drastic if I lost all my shoes, of course I'd be sad, but they're only material things. If I lived without them for most of my life and survived, I can surely do it again.
At the moment my goals are to attend the Art Institute of Houston, I honestly don't think higher education is possible for me, I've slacked too much in my high school career, but if possible, that would be my 1st choice, photography interests me to the point where I wouldn't mind doing it for a living. In a bigger picture perspective I want to make my parents proud of me and provide for them like they have for me.
My father is certainly a fountain of inspiration for me. My mindset to get income comes from him, he went from going to work on a bike to having 3 cars. Like I said before, they're only material things, but the fact that he went through this transformation symbolizes success for me.
I would describe myself as happy-go-lucky, carefree, and energetic. I'm satisfied with that, as for what others think about me, I'm sure I might annoy people, but just as much I pester people, there's people who actually enjoy my company, and that also satisfies me. I think this free spirit personality allows me to express myself in ways other people are afraid to.
In terms of memories, all that comes to mind is being "disciplined" by my parents(for those who don't get it, it's a euphemism for whoopings) For example I used to kick strangers when I was little, my mom "disciplined" me and I grew out of it. It was this and many other cases of being "disciplined" that shaped me to be respectful to adults. I have many friends who were never corrected for their errors, and their free reign led to their demise, I'm grateful that I was corrected for these errors, because who knows where I would be without it.
