What I See in the Mirror

People have always been asking themselves the question, "Who am I?" There is no easy answer to this simple question and people seem to feel the need to find themselves. When I am asked to describe myself to others, whether it be during a job interview or for a class as it is in this case, my thoughts scramble to assemble the puzzle pieces of my life and personality in order to create the full picture of myself and convey it to others.

Who am I? I am a college student seeking a degree in writing and starting to explore a minor in a technological field. Grand Valley is where I live for huge chunks of the year while I go to class, study, work as a writing consultant, and keep in constant contact with my friends at GV and across the country. Even though its continuously stressful, I am an academic who really does enjoy being in class and learning. I am a dreamer who gets indescribably excited at the thought of obtaining a career in video game development. My love for storytelling and the gaming experience drives me forward in my goals. After being undecided for what seems like forever, it feels like I really did "find" a part of myself when I realized where I wanted to belong.

I am a lot of things. I am a friend, a daughter, a girlfriend.  I am passionate, hard working, goofy, and friendly. I am a girl who loves the outdoors and wouldn't want to live anywhere with sidewalks or a lack of greenery. I am also over emotional and have a temper that can scare even me. As I am writing, I feel like there are parts of me that I am overlooking and are just normal to me. There are a lot of pieces that make up the full picture of who I am, some of them I probably don't even notice. This is just a snapshot.
