I am a traveler. Since now, I go through 8 schools in my life and I went to 4 different places for studying. I enjoy traveling around the world and meeting new people and new cultures. One of my best experiences as a traveler was when I was an exchange student in Michigan. That was my first time to the US and the first time I started to find out more about this country. The life in Michigan provided me a good beginning in the US. A traveler sounds really lonely but I am not. I am a happiness-bringer, I like sharing things with others. I have a lot of stories to tell people and it let me feel good when other people want to hear about my life. I like to make other people feel happy and make them think life is so colorful and make them want to see more because I want life to be different. I am an artist, life is like a piece of paper, and I paint my life by myself. I bring my views to the others and let them see the different world in my eye. The only sport I am interested in is volleyball, I played it for 4 years but I start to drop it since I came to the US. The most important thing in my life should be my family and friends. They encourage me to do the things I want to do and they are always there for me when I need them. Friends is really whom I can totally be myself when I talk to. We know each other really well and are a part of each other's life. I would like to do the things I enjoy but sometimes life is stressful, you also need to do something you have to do so I try to find joy from doing those things. I care what other people think about me but I don't really change the way I am. I want to be the real me and find people who like the real me.

If we confine ourselves to one life role, no matter how pleasant it seems at first, we starve emotionally and psychologically. We need a change and balance in our daily lives. We need sometimes to dress up and sometimes to lie around in torn jeans. . . . Even a grimy factory can afford some relief from a grimy kitchen and vice versa.
