Who am I? Many people see me differently than the way I see myself. Many people see me as a shy and quiet girl. But I know who I really am. My name is Lisa Yuan and I am 16-years old. My personality is very unique. The way I view unique is a positive thing, because it is a simple adjective that can define who I am; different. I tend to over think and become extremely nervous over the smallest things that can possibly happen to me. Sometimes, it feels unnecessary to over think things. But that is who I am.
     I am the type to worry about everything; my future, my family, my friends, myself. Most importantly right now, is my education-my future. I hope to major in the science/medical fields. My dream career is to become a forensic nurse. Although it is a challenging goal to achieve, I know very well that, nothing is impossible. There is no "impossible" when trying to attain a goal that you really want. It just requires commitment, hard work, and effort. But, I like to see my goal not as a dream, but as a destination.
     I began thinking about my future at a very young age. When I was in the 6th grade I was given a lot of pressure from my family because they wanted me to get into one of Boston's top three exam schools. Luckily, I was able to get into Boston Latin Academy. At the time, my family and I believed that getting into an exam school was a chance to improve my education so that I can have a brighter future. They wanted me to have a better life than they did. They had faith in me. For that reason, in the future, I want to give my family a chance to experience the luxuries in life by working hard.
