Introduction

I have a lot of interests and I think it is difficult to write a summary of those interests. I have always hated writing those short biography's about myself because I think "what could I say that would impress people?"

In my spare time, I have a lot of extra curricular activities. I volunteered for a Brownie and Rainbow Guide unit for two years and now I have joined a new unit because I enjoyed it so much. I also do a lot of clubs in school, unlike in Secondary school, such as the Social Justice Club, the Human Rights Club, and the Journalism Club. I have been roped into a few other commitments at school too. I just can't say no! Outside of school, I watch a lot of TV shows, both intellectually stimulating and trashy as hell, and I used to read a lot of books when I had time. I also play the ukulele.

I tend to learn in different ways as I like to use everything I can to my advantage. Most of the time, you will find me with a pile of highlighters and sticky notes though. I enjoy taking detailed and thorough notes. Especially in English, where I will scribble all over handouts. I prefer to also use computers to type essays, listening to feedback and writing it down as I go along to improve my work.

The last book I read was the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Some consider it a modern classic but I find this strange because I have read a few other books that have been associated with this label and they bored me senseless. I enjoyed it because it was engaging from the beginning and I did not have to wait until further into the book to be hooked. The further along I went into the book, the darker it became due to the tragic back story of Sylvia Plath herself. The mood changed very quickly but it was still a novel that interested me vastly.
