: What is your value system? Here, you need to include things that inspire you.

It is here
that you state your beliefs, motivations, principles, and inspirations. The reader expects
you to have either staunch stands on certain things and this is the part where you make
them know. Do not highlight radical points, though.

Skills: What aptitudes do you have? And, what is the level in each skill? This may include
communication, computer, education, languages, leadership, or anything else you find
worthy.

Others: efine ourselves using institutions, other people, or activities. Well, I know quite
much about myself: I am a kind, friendly, respectful, and principled young person.

First, I am a sociable person. I love to meet people and make new friends. It’s not that I
am an extrovert. However, I always work towards getting along with people. Of course,
there are times I enjoy being alone for meditation. However, being around people makes
me feel comfortable. I like to utilize every chance I get to make new friends. Interacting
with people from different parts of the world makes me a diverse person. I am one of
those people who believe that there is richness in human diversity. I am not quite
selective of who I socialize with. A cheerful, cordial, and accommodative person is how
many people know me.

Second, I am kind and respectful. Well, I appreciate that there is a thin line between being
social and respectful. I want to treat everyone – junior or senior- with utmost reverence.
In this regard, I am quite a listener. This didn’t start yesterday- I have always loved to
give up my seats to elders in the train since I was young. Again, I am firm and at the
same time polite. I love to make my points in a way that won’t hurt those around me. I
always desire to be respectful even to those who least deserve it. Being respectful does
not subtract anything from me after all.

Third, I have a great affection to team play. Well, I probably got this trait from my life as a
sportsperson. I have been a school captain in Team Handball and Badminton. Today, I
still participate in these games as a coach. I’m adherent to chess and I could become a
grandmaster in the next few months. Sports and competitions

am an extrovert. However, I always work towards getting have trained me to be fair,
diligent, hardworking, and focused. As my hobby, chess clears my mind while athletics
make me healthy. I’d definitely not tell who I am without mentioning sportsmanship.
Actually, sports largely define me.

I am not perfect, though. I can be moody when I don’t hit my targets. My love for novelty
makes me uncomfortable with normal rules. My mum says I am selfish and that I always
want everything to go my way. Yet, I’m still the person you will find doing voluntary
community work to help people. I guess my self-esteem is too high for people to put
down. This rubs feathers with anyone who stands on the path to success. I’d be a liar if I
said that I am a genius, flawless or immortal- and that’s who I am.

Anyway, it may be a little difficult to explain who I am. However, there are qualities that
are an outright depiction of me. Respect, principles, sportsmanship, and leadership are
some of them. As a quick learner, I love to change every behavior that doesn’t make me a
better person. The desire to be good to everybody has made me who I am today and I
intend to keep it that way.

parents, I have developed the habit and routine of going to church every Sunday in line
with Christian doctrines. As a matter of fact, all the members of my family value
attending Sunday masses wherever they may find themselves. I grew up in a working-
parents family and I have grown to live in harmony with my siblings.

Regarding my personality, I am one person who is outspoken and likes socializing and
making new friends. The number of friends I have in college is uncountable because I
have no boundaries when it comes to building relationships. That notwithstanding, I
value respect and believe it is two way. I expect that anybody I interact with should show
me the same level of respect I show them irrespective of their background or status in
the society. I am hard working because my parents taught me to loathe laziness since it
is the beginning of poverty an

religious backgrounds as well as gender. This is why I have friends whose cultural and
other backgrounds are diverse. I am also liberal in that I am open to learning new things
such as new cultures, religions, and even languages. For instance, I can speak fluent
French and Spanish yet I am American. I also believe that divergent views should be
tolerated because this is part of enhancing human diversity. My parents had once tried to
stop me from being too open minded but I persisted with it. Being open to new things, in
my view, amounts to being accommodative to human diversity.

In conclusion, I can summarize myself as someone who is respectful, accommodative,
and open minded. I appreciate that as a human, I need others for my life to be complete.
When I show that I care for and accommodate different views, I find it easy working with
others. I have thus managed to evade suffering any form of racial or cultural profiling
because people find me easy to deal with. I believe my personality and world views are
matching and thus I find life more sociable and interesting. It is my intention to continue
leading this fulfilling life.
