Movies

My favorite movie is probably The Woman in Black. I absolutely love it. It's about evil, vengeful spirits. The lead part is played by Daniel Radcliffe. I really love horror movies because I find them fascinating. This specific one appeals to me because I find the plot very entertaining. A woman taking her revenge on children is so new and different, it captivates my attention and keeps me on the edge of my seat.

World Peace


What is world peace? In my opinion, I don’t think that it exists. However, the definition of world peace to me is a state of no fighting in the world, with everybody getting along.

I don’t think world peace is possible. There will always be people who disagree, or nasty people who just want to watch others suffer. I wish it could happen, but I honestly doubt it ever will.

To achieve world peace, the evil people in the world would need to be exterminated. I would be willing to try and get along with more people if they also try.

Community Service

I enjoy doing community service. I work at a barn volunteering with disabled children. I help take care of the horses (cleaning stalls, grooming horses, feeding, changing water buckets, etc.) and I also help with therapeutic lessons for the kids. Many of them have Down's Syndrome, autism, or cerebral palsy. Through therapy of riding, they have improved in speech, muscle control, and many other aspects. I'm proud to say that I've helped these children. It has influenced my personal brand because it has made me more patient and kind.

Accomplishments

Accomplishments. Everybody has at least one. I haven't received any academic awards, but I have won trophies and achieved other things. When I was younger, I used to ride horses competitively. I've won a trophy, three first-place ribbons, six second-place ribbons, and two second-place-champion ribbons. I've also received my certificate in beginner open water scuba diving. This had aided my personal brand because I work harder to achieve things like this.

Future

Where do I see myself in the future? Well, in three years, I see myself in a decent college. I'd like to study criminal psychology. I hope to have traveled quite a bit by then. I'd like to maybe have a nice relationship. I think all of this will have a good influence on my brand statement because I will be neat and organized.

Literature/Books

My favorite book is the Harry Potter series. The books revolve around Harry Potter, an orphan whose parents were killed by the Dark Lord Voldemort. The evil wizard tried to kill Harry, but couldn't because his mother sacrificed herself for her son. At the age of eleven, Harry discovers that he is a wizard, living within the ordinary world of non-magical (Muggle) people. His ability is inborn and such children are invited to attend a school that teaches the necessary skills to succeed in the wizarding world. Harry becomes a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and it's here where most of the books' events take place. As Harry develops through his adolescence, he learns to overcome the problems that face him: magical, social, and emotional, including ordinary teenage challenges such as friendships and exams, and the greater test of preparing himself for the confrontation that lies ahead.

Since I was a child, I loved this book. I truly believe that it has influenced me to make me the person that I am today.

Caine's Arcade

Caine Monroy is a young boy in LA who set up an elaborate cardboard arcade in his father's used auto parts shop. He had no customers until a journalist came in and saw it. He then asked if he could do a story on it. He created an event on Facebook and invited all his friends and put the story on Reddit and a local LA website. People planned to do a flash mob at Caine's arcade. The internet was a huge advantage to this event because it let many people know of it. There could be a disadvantage, however. Creepy people could see it and show up and be creepy. The Internet can further my brand a lot because through Twitter, Blogspot, and About.me, I can let many people know of my brand.
