Haircut
After growing out my hair for well over 2 years, I had it cut and donated it. This was spurred on by the bullying I had experienced in the years prior. -
1st Place
After having overcome my 4th grade teacher's tenancy to promote her favorite students, I secured the position as my school's representative in the Cesar Chavez Speech Contest. Despite a reviving a haircut I regretted at the time, I took home 1st place and was invited to a fancy dinner reception. -
End of an Era
Looking forward to the future, I hoped that the academic challenges of middle school would make up for the lack thereof in elementary school. I was thoroughly disappointed. -
Disneyland
Marking the last time I would visit a themed amusement park, I found little to no amusement in the day's events. -
Attribute: Artistic

Roller-skates
I experienced skating for the first time with my younger cousin's family. I fell on my back a lot, but persisted. Since then, I often go to the college park to practice with a pair that was gifted to me. -
Technology
I signed up for the Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement club at my middle school, where I was first granted access to a computer for the use of programming. In a couple of months, I was caught up with my peers in the realms of computer literacy. -
Success
The Mathematics, Engineering and Scientific Achievement Day was an integral part of my middle school career. After having been disqualified in the 6th grade, I persevered the following year, working tirelessly on the school's 3D printer through the holiday breaks. Needless to say it payed off, as we drove home on the bus that day with 6 medals. -
Attribute: Tired

Mock Trials & Broken Shoes
The night before our mock trial, my team had yet to finish compiling our case. As a result, I stayed up until 1:00 A.M. and woke up at 3:00 A.M. in order to finish. Before the trial began, the sole of my right shoe broke off, which I taped back together. I limped toward the stand and tried to give my opening statements. We lost in a 6-3 decision. -
Attribute: Studious

Freshman Finals & Bottle Rockets
For months I had been creating a website for one of my final projects, but had neglected the accompanying report. I finished the report at 10:41 P.M., before realizing that I also had to build an egg-drop bottle rocket. I was stressed and ashamed of my procrastination, but quickly learned that some of my peers had likewise stayed up finishing their finals. -
Attribute: Serious
