I am also a logical person who knows everything has a place and time, and I like to plan ahead. Spur-of-the-moment aggravates me, but being in AFJROTC has forced me to work with people like that, so I have learned to deal with it. I am very organized and plan my day out before I even climb out of bed.
Some hobbies of mine include: reading, playing my trombone, writing short stories, listening to music, playing softball or tennis, and talking to friends. I have been in band for 6 years, playing a variety of instruments. In the 5<SUP>th</SUP> grade music class, we had to play the recorder for a concert, and the teacher knew right away I had a great talent for music. Since then I have played the flute, trombone, some percussion, some baritone, some trumpet, acoustic guitar, and I am currently taking piano lessons. I have also played softball for 5 years, and I earned an orange belt in karate when I was 10.
One of my favourite things to do on my spare time is listen to music. I usually listen to classical, classic rock, punk/“emo” rock, metal, and electronica/techno. My favourite bands include: AFI, My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Paramore, Flyleaf,, Blaqk Audio, Dimmu Borgir, Metallica, Mozart, and Dvorak. Reading is my second major hobby. I read fantasy fiction. Some books I really like include : the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, the Harry Potterseries by J.K. Rowling, and all of the Anne Rice books.




XD i would stop reading after the first paragraph personally lol. lameness. im pretty modest so its hard to write a page essay about myself.
Okay, focus on who you are, not what you like to do. That's not who you are. If someone asks a journalist who he/she is they probably won't say "Oh I like the 9th Symphony by Beethoven and clothes are awesome and Korn is da bomb..." They'll say "I am a person in search of the truth. It is a calling I have had forever. In conjunction with that I cannot stand by while truth flies by without catching wisps of its foretellings. Truth is my muse. It is the one thing that keeps me breathing. Therefore, I am one in search of becoming one with truth. I will stop at nothing to find it. I am, therefore, a hunter; a hunter that will spend all of eternity searching for its prey." Catch my meaning? What is your calling in life? We all have it. Some have a calling to discover the mysteries of math. Others to fight for a cause. I have the calling to serve and protect at whatever cost. If your calling, your ultimate desire...not even desire...but need is to fly planes then you should revell in it. Don't just state it as fact. Explain in detail how it creates you, funds you, gives you hope, gives you the will to live. Explain, in essence, how it IS you. Hope that helps. Reach for the stars, even if you can't reach them you'll still hit the moon!<--cliche, I know.
