Brains!

I never filled one of thse out in high school. I was too scared of what I hadn't accomplished, because I was too scared to ever try to accomplish anything. Obviously I've tweaked it for an almost 24 year old. NOTE I tried to answer these right off the top of my head, so that I couldn't try to go back and add what I wanted to be and am not to the answers. This is really what I thought right away.

Brag Sheet
1)Please describe the single academic accomplishment (major paper, science experiment, math project artistic project, writing) of which you are most proud and tell why you take special pride in this accomplishment.
-I am most proud of graduating within 4 years, with a degree I actually liked, rather then taking an easy path out.
-I am proud that I have kept up with journals, my blog, and recently yelp posts. Always writing no matter what, is the most important activity in my life, and I am the most proud of it.

2)List 3-5 words you would use to describe yourself. Explain each with several sentences
-LOYAL
I am loyal because I believe that every single person deserves to be treated fairly. I am faithful, committed, and never back down from my obligations. My punctuality is often an expression of this quality. I am never late, I always call back, and I can be counted upon by the people closest to me.
-HONEST
I can always be counted on to give the most honest reply, when asked seriously what my true opinion is.
-OPEN MINDED
As I said, I believe that everyone has a right to be treated fairly. There are always two sides, two perspectives, and two truths to every story, opinion, person, and belief.

4)What special talents do you possess? (Music, sports, theatrical, etc.) Explain.
I am good at supporting other people with their emotional distresses, and completely willing to help them. I am great at expressing myself with words on paper. I kick ass with Pikachu on super smash brothers. I’m a fast reader and good at reading comprehension. I can find my way with visual landmarks. I notice things on the land that other people do not.

6)Is there anything else we should know to understand you more fully as a person and a learner?
-I am open to change. I always want to be the best person I can possibly be, sometimes I need to remind myself of that, but it’s true when I remember again.

5)What are your hobbies/interests? Be specific about what you do outside of school. If you take music lessons, say how long and whether you plan to continue. If you have a collection, say how many and describe your collection. If you enjoy travel, say where you have traveled and your experience.
-I love bowling. I love horseback riding. I love writing. I’m collecting bottle caps. I can draw on the right nights. I love going to the gym. I love swimming. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy laughing. I enjoy being around new people. I enjoy intelligent heartfelt conversations.

6)What are your goals? What do you hope to accomplish in college and for the future? Consider careers and broader life goals.
My goal is to have a stable, fast paced job, working within a team environment, while saving money to do whatever I want with. It doesn’t matter where. To be happy with myself, and what I am doing, while giving as much as I can to other people. Turning inward is the best way for me to meet those goals at the moment, but at the same time I don’t want to miss any opportunities or deny invites to new things.

7) Write a paragraph or two about yourself from your counselor’s point of view that can be included in a Letter of Recommendation.
Caitlin has an open heart, and is fluid like water. She allows emotion to guide her, and believes that through your emotion you can find out the most intimate things about yourself. She really wants to please and be the best person and better person in every situation. Given the right chance she can thrive.
