Adventure has been something a part of my whole life. Whether it was zip lining on the mountains, hiking in Tennessee, camel riding in India, or just joy riding through town, I am always involved in a new adventure.
Recently, my cousins and I decided to go on a ski trip in Colorado. It was our first time skiing, so we decided to take lessons. However, to keep us from falling, our instructor would make us make large turns to control our speed. But of course, I liked a good adrenaline rush, so I would just go straight down the steep hills as fast as I could. I would even risk sliding down a slope backwards just to take a cool picture.
I like to live out my dreams and desires rather than watching others do them. I have always enjoyed flipping houses and the stock market, so I got into them and now, I am getting into real estate and NFT’s. Even when I was younger, my cousins and I would create our own games after we got bored of regular games because we wanted to play something more fun and adventurous.
Having this motivation of always finding a new adventure has helped me in all aspects of life. It has led me to always be ahead of my peers and, overall, always have a drive to try new things. This has especially helped me in college because I have tried new things I never would have done before. As I grow older, I realize how beneficial this trait has been to me.
