So instead of starting off with a
“Hello, my name is…” I would rather start with a story about how I was
named. I was born a year after my
parents came over from Vietnam and during that time their English wasn’t terrific
so they didn’t know much about names. This meaning they didn’t know a variety
of names and their meanings. So when I was about to be born, they called their
friend to drive them to the hospital. When they were asked what to name me,
they couldn’t come up with anything so they asked their friend what I should be
named. So being slightly shocked at this question, he said the first name that
came to mind and that was my name, Julie.
Honestly there isn’t that much
about me to know so I guess I will start off with my hobbies. Something that
really interest me is reading and that is because it is really useful when I
need something to past time and, no matter how incredibly dorky this sounds,
sometimes I feel like I warp into the different places in the books I read.
When I read I feel like I’m a part of the book and I’m a part of the journey
the main characters go through. The journeys feel so real to me and it I feel
like I’m going through the different worlds. It gives me a feeling of freedom
from my current life and its restraints. In my life, I am constantly being
restrained from doing things I want to in fear of danger. So when I read, I
feel free from that and I get to live the life changing adventurous like that I
want.
Other than reading being something
I love, I also enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, listening to
music, helping out, and playing games. I really like spending time with my
family and friends because they are awesome people that are very important to
me. They are really fun to be around because they are so weird and always
brings a smile to my face. I really like playing all sorts of games from board
games to video games as long as I’m playing with not so competitive people. I
like playing things for fun not as competition because I don’t like when people
get way to competitive. Music to me is something that I can go to when I’m
upset or just simply bored. I enjoy listening to any types of music and would
listen to anything but screamo because I think it’s weird. Honestly I really
like to do community service because I think that we can make a better world if
we just try to help. So I like to help out whenever I can, wherever I can
because I think people, animals, and the earth deserves better than it is
receiving and with work we can make things better.
My favorite animal are ducks
because when I was a kid my sister would joke around that chickens are the best
things in the world and to oppose that opinion of hers I said that ducks are
better because that was the closest thing to chickens that I could think of and
I’ve been in love with them ever since. My favorite color is blue just because
I think it’s a lovely color and because the ocean is blue. I really like the
ocean because it seems so mysterious and mystical. I think under the sea it is
a whole different world, much more peaceful and calm compared to the life on
land. I grew up believing mermaids exist and I’ve been attracted to the ocean
since then. I think that the ocean is beautiful and I really like sea creatures
because they are so majestic and pretty. I really like watching Disney movies
because they are the best and because I spent most of my childhood watching
them so it reminds me of those simpler times as a kid. I like to try new
things; I will try almost anything as long as it isn’t something stupid like
jumping off a cliff. I actually like to play sports and like learning new types
of sports but in the end I usually am not the best player. Although I’m not
good at sports I find it entertaining to watch my friends play. I think it’s
really fun to try new things like new things like cooking different types of
food, learning a new language, and things like that. It’s really amusing to
know how to do and know these things.
I don’t like a lot of things and
among those things are spiders. I think spiders are really scary and I don’t like
them one bit. I also don’t like clowns because I think they are really scary,
the piles and piles of make up on their face and their laugh scares me too. I don’t
like the way that people is destroying the world with their pollutions of all
sorts like light pollution and air pollution but I do appreciate that they
realize what they are doing wrong and are trying to somewhat fix it. I also don’t
like how easily I get frustrated or upset. It makes me feel like a mean person
but I’m trying to fix it hopefully it will work.
So aside from that another thing
about me is that someday I want to travel the world with some friends and live
the free life that I want. I would like to go to random places on the globe and
just have an adventure. I really want to try to live a life like Ash Ketchum in
Pokemon, traveling the world and being able to see new
things and have that experience of freedom. I just think that that would be really fun and life changing. So hopefully
someday, somehow, I will be able to do this and have a terrific journey.
But before all that I need to get
through school. So this year I’m hoping to end it with my writing goals
fulfilled. My writing goals are to improve my vocabulary and smooth out my transitioning.
I think that my vocabulary is low standards and I want to learn new words and
use really big sophisticated words. To me, my transitioning from paragraph to
paragraph is really choppy and I want to change it so that it flows and sounds
nice. I would also like to improve on my essay writing. I feel like my essays
sometimes doesn’t really capture all the ideas I want it to have and no matter
what grade I get I’m not satisfied with it. Another problem that I think needs
improvement is the way I word things because sometimes it’s not really
captivating and it just seems boring.
Bye
now! :]
