Annika Schulz
F/CE A5
Personality Project Essay.
Family
My family consists of my mom, dad, two brothers, and one sister, also a dog. They are all in their twenties. Therefore I am the only one currently at home, with just my parents and dog. Our family has multiple traditions. For Christmas we have the tradition with my sister in law—my oldest brothers wife—plays piano every year. Also we always have a large get together for both my mom’s and dad’s side of the family’s. One other tradition we have is going on long hikes with our family friends. Besides traditions we also have things our family loves to do. Up-North we have a cottage and land on Boulder Lake. We all love going up there during the warmer seasons of the year. Lastly, our family enjoys traveling to different places in the states. Specifically going to ski resorts and to beaches are our favorites.
Inherited Features
I have equal inherited features from both my mom and my dad. But many people say that I look mostly like my mom. My blonde hair comes from my mom. Right now my hair is not very curly, but it will turn curlier though because my mom’s hair is curly. My height comes from my dad’s side. His entire family is on the tall side, and I am quite tall. But my blue eyes come from my mom’s side also. Yet my eyes are not completely blue like my mom’s are, for that reason I have some of my dad’s eye color also.
Outer Appearance
On my outer appearance I know that I like to wear fancy, and chic things to wear. These clothes come from multiple stores and other people often buy them for me. But I do like to shop for my clothes at American Eagle, H&M, Forever 21, DELiA*s and any other random stores. What else I like to wear is pearl necklaces and stud earrings. When I wash my hair I use Pantene Pro-V and also a peppermint shampoo that my mom has.
Inherited Traits
I know that I have a few inherited traits, but its nothing major—like a disease that has been past down from generation to generation. But I do know that my height has been past down since my grandma on my dad’s side. Additionally, my bad eyesight I could’ve gotten from either my mom’s or dad’s side. But I think that I got it from my dad’s side because he has worse eyesight than my mom does, and I have worse eyesight than my mom. My fair skin is absolutely arguable though. Both my mom and dad both have the same skin as I do, and it could go either way. Furthermore, my entire family is right handed—on both sides of the family—and so that is a trait that I got from both parents.
Social Behavior
On my outer body, I know that it is shown that I like to shop for clothes and I like clothes. But there are various things that I enjoy doing for being social. Volleyball is one of the sports that I like to do, and I do that with friends. Along with running. I really like to run—though I am not very good—it is still a favorite sport of mine. In order to use this ability I do cross-country for our school. Friends and family is a very, very important part of my life and it would be hard to live my life without any of them.
Taglents, Skills, and Abilities
Getting good grades in school is an ability of mine, that I am happy with. I m glad that I have the ability to get good grades and that it isn’t extremely difficult for me because I stay on top of my assignments. If I didn’t do this I would have a difficult time at school. Running is a talent of mine also. Running is hard for me to do, but it is something that I enjoy so that would be considered an ability or a talent of mine. Photography is something that I enjoy very much, and I think that would be considered a skill of mine. Along with this interior designing is something that is a skill of mine. At random times I will interior design my house and figure out what would look good where.
Future Plans
For my future plans I have no idea what the specifics are, but I do have a basic idea of what to do in my future. First of all I plan on going to college and get a good education. I have no idea where or what I want to go, but I do have a possible idea of what I want to go to school for. Interior designing ad architecture has always interested me, so that would be a definite possibility. Once I am out of college it would be great to get married . Along with that have some kids, or adopt them.
Eating Habits
Personally, I love to eat delicious foods. I love most foods, though I absolutely hate cauliflower. That is my most un-favorite food ever. But besides this, I like most foods. My favorites are Italian foods like, pizza, spaghetti, parmesan bread, and others. One other of my favorite food type is Chinese. The sesame chicken, egg rolls and wontons are oh so scrumptious. Besides these foods, my taste buds love the taste of ice cream. Any flavor will do, but I adore ice cream.
Fears and Pet Peeves
Fear is when you become afraid of something. I am afraid of being kidnapped. If I got into that sort of situation I would not know what to do with myself I would be so afraid. On the news you often hear of kids getting kidnapped and when you see that on television, you can only feel bad for the kid and the parents, and hope that it doesn’t happen to your own self. Another fear of mine is getting into a fatal car crash. The reason I fear this, is because I hate pain I probably even fear this also. And in a car accident you feel pain immediately when you get into an incident. Other than fears I also have some pet peeves. What I really have a pet peeve on, is when you are working on something on the computer and it is slow. Or when the computer dies on you and has a malfunction. This drives me crazy, and I’m sure others can agree with me on that subject matter. An additional pet peeve of mine is when you are walking somewhere and the person in front of you is walking slowly. This leaves you in an awkward situation with them walking slowly and you having no way of getting around them without being rude.
Favorites
When I think of favorites I usually think of my favorite color, number, holiday and so forth. Well, my favorite color is blue. Not just any old blue though... but a pretty kind of blue. This kind of blue is hard to explain because there are many similar blues to this exact hue, yet none of them are the exact blue that is my favorite. Another favorite thing of mine, is my favorite number. This number changes all the time. It used to be 17, which is why I put that number up there—because it was my first favorite number. But then it changed to 72, and then to 27, and many number in between. Currently though my favorite number is 14. I know though, that this will change in some time from now. There is no real way of saying why I chose those different numbers, but it’s probably just because I liked them! Christmas is another favorite of mine. During this holiday people are always so jolly, and everything makes me laugh because I am in such a happy mode. Family and friends gather together and have parties, and everyone gives and receives presents. All these things are my favorite things, and there are other favorite things of mine also, they just haven’t been mentioned
Emotions and Feelings
Things are always making me sad or angry, but I know for a fact that I have definite feelings about these to topics. For one, children from other foreign countries, that are off worse than us here in the United States, and yet happy. They are so innocent and so open and loving to others. Since they never knew any other life than what they are living in right now and they don’t have ads to show them something that they don’t have; then they are content with what they have. Obviously, they are not content if they are starving though, but that is something different than what I am referring to. One other idea that gives me mixed emotions is, fighting. What I really hate is when people fight , or even when animals fight. Depending on the situation I will either become sad or quite angry, and sometimes my emotions confuse me because of this.
Life Experiences
In my short life so far I have had many life experiences and I know as I grow older these experiences will grow to multiply what experiences I’ve already had. I have traveled to many places with my family, and have had a great time on all of them. We go skiing to different places in the states like Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Those are all the places we go in order to ski. And each of those places the views have been great and ever so beautiful. Along with being very memorable. Another constant sort of place we go is warm areas of the states like California and Florida. Each time we go to one of these places I remember all the great times we had there. Every time we travel we tour the area not like usual tourist. Instead we do random things, that usual travelers don’t do; it’s fantastic! I also have taken a trip without my family, in which I went to Mexico on a mission trip. And that I will remember forever! Lastly, a great experience I had that does not relate to travel at all, is when my nephew was born. My sister Jana(25) had Anders on September 25, 2009. He was the cutest baby, but the reason it was such an experience was because it was an over forty-eight hour labor! This was very suspenseful for everyone.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, this is the basics of my life. It’s unique from anyone else’s life, though there are some similarities that I have with other people to! And that is my personality…
