Why I should be selected?
Ironically—I’m the definition of undefinable. Normally people would say something like, “If you look up freakish in the dictionary, you’ll see my picture underneath”—but that is not the point to me. I am not word, I am not line, and I am not a girl that can ever be defined. It’s like trying to find a needle in a hay stack, or finding Waldo in a crowd of people; I’m definitely hard to decipher. You can say, compared to a Ballerina in a mosh pit—I’m as scantly as a hen’s teeth. As brave as a child taking on the dark alone; as stubborn as a mule, as deep as a trend at the bottom of the ocean, and definitely as out-casted as Kovu in Lion King, even though a times it doesn’t seem that way.
To myself, I am my own super hero, but my weaknesses defeat me since I care so drastically for other people. I end up putting myself in harm’s way to be sure of their safety. As problems are thrown my way, I fight my nemesis for the sake of the world, quickly stopping my battle to defend the needy-getting blasted enemy away. As enemies fulfill my mind, I believe it took over my mind. I’ve been through everything from eating disorder to self-harm. My eating disorder took my mind and wrapped it around my body, twisting and turning my thoughts to make me believe in thing that weren’t true. Pulling my thoughts in and out of social anxiety and depression, my eating disorder destroyed my mind, leading my self-harm to destroy my body. My scar fills my legs and arms, trying to tell me who I am. They whisper to me saying, “You’re Worthless”, trying to manipulate my mind along with the eating disorders, to harm myself even more. Since I’m a super hero, I defeat my enemies and gained their power. It made me stronger than I ever was before.
Overpowering my hard nemesis alone it makes me proud to be who I am. Though I’m hard to understand; I’m brave and I’ll do anything it takes to get what I want. When I know I’m right, I stand up of what I believe and I won’t back down so it makes me as

    “Every day every hour. Turn the pain into power.” Danny O’Donoghue, a vocalist member of the band The Script, sings in “Superheroes” about the strength that comes with overcoming the struggles presented in life; similarly this message can be seen in Ishmael Beah’s recount of the challenges he faced as a victim of war, A Long Way Gone. To me, the song is a reminder of how difficulties can build someone into a stronger person. Throughout the song, all the lyrics hint that without suffer and perseverance, success cannot be achieved. Similarly, in Beah’s story, he becomes a teenager with more fortitude only after breaking down and experiencing immense grief and pain both physically and mentally. From listening to and analyzing “Superheroes” and reading A Long Way Gone, I learn that only after breaking down and…

    In this task we were told to do a role-play on the selection process. We were first told to do questions for candidates. The whole group done 15 questions and after as a group, we had to talk to each other to create 15 questions for interview. By doing 15 questions I have learned some of the questions that there could be in the interview. From these 15 questions we chosen 7 questions to ask to the candidate, we agreed that these questions are not boring and open question to make sure that we will have good communication with the candidate. From this I learned that which questions could in an interview and what type of questions there will be. I was writing the questions that my group gave and I also give some ideas to write as well. After we wrote all the questions we took it to the teacher so we would see if it was good however, we amended a lot in the questions because it didn’t relate to our person specification and job description. My contribution to this was write the amendments and change the types of some questions, this was important because without the amendments we wouldn’t be able to ask good questions to out interviewee. I think that this was good because we communicated with each other good and amended it to make sure that it was professional questions.…

    However, some unlucky days, the pain silently attacks. Ever since being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease my health has declined. In the past year, I have recently been diagnosed with Eczema. Also, about a year ago, I confessed to my parents that I was (and still am) depressed. I am now seeing a therapist for depression and anxiety; my doctor decided to prescribe me anti depressants. However, with a true-to-the-end-of-time quote, the late Malcolm Stevenson Forbes mentioned, “When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse”. Through these experiences I have learned that my life could be worse. My books helped me to understand the monsters of the world and how my monsters, in comparison, are microscopic. Even though sometimes the voices in my head say otherwise, I am fortunate for my family. I am fortunate for my friends. I am fortunate for school. I am even fortunate for my health. Thankful for all that I have, I always remember that my health could be worse. These barriers will not end me. I have found the hope at the bottom of Pandora’s Box. I am…

    From the moment we were given this assignment, I was terrified. I was terrified of making a fool of myself. My brain would torture me for hours. Filling up with poisonous thoughts. And these thoughts were the constant reminders of the battles I fought. Anxiety. Depression. Fear. Silence. In Glennon Melton’s novel, Carry on Warrior, she emphasizes that maybe “the people who need help sometimes look a lot like the people who don’t need help”.…
