I want to be the best, always. The desire to succeed drives me. Whenever I need inspiration, I look inside. This motivation is the fuel for my soul. This desire is what keeps me going. This voracity has made me my own motivator, mentor and leader. Throughout my life, barricades to moving forward have been plentiful. However, I made the most out of these obstacles and always looked at failure as a step forward. Whenever I enter a debating contest or an athletic competition, I make sure I do my absolute best and literally go "all-in" to achieve success. This drive and desire has made be strong-willed and tenacious, qualities that are vital for an individual to survive through the cut-throat competition in the world outside classrooms. Life has always shown me different paths to exercise my passions in and I have been clever enough to grab every such opportunity thrown my way. Whether it is swimming for the first time or attending a reality TV dare-show, I have always been interested in trying something new. This characteristic of my personality has helped me become multi-talented. While I know how to fix a car, I am also good at photo-editing at Photoshop. Such a multitude of talents has provided me with a diverse hands-on experience which I believe will aid me in all aspects of life. I have succeeded and I have failed. But, when it comes to trying something new, I have always taken up every opportunity that has presented itself.
