Who exactly am i?

" What sort of question is this? Isn't it obvious? I am just Jonathan. What could be more to this question?". This was, unfortunately, what i thought when i was first asked this question a few years back. But now, i realise that there is definitely more to this question.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF:

I believe that i am someone who is quite persistent through past experiences. For example, in past tests when i achieved poor grades, i would make up my mind to do well in the next test/examination. The only way to do this is to study real hard and this leads to another quality of mine, which is being in control of your own self or you can say, self-disciplined. In my opinion, this quality is somewhat difficult to maintain since there are always things that are capable of attracting your attention or affect you. And you can never be sure that you are able to stop this sort of addiction when you are required to focus on examinations or on your assignments. But do keep in mind that "nothing easy is ever worthwhile".

DEFINE YOUR MOTIVATIONS AND PERSONALITY

My motivations? To me, it means to complete the task at hand efficiently and at the same time, have fun in the process for the sake of the well being of the ones around us or perhaps, ourselves. My motivations come from my friends, family members (and maybe teachers) around me. Seeing how much they are sacrificing for us makes me want to learn more, so that i would be able to do them proud and not let their efforts go down the drain.

As for my personality, i would say that i am willing to learn from others, even if they are younger than me. I do not boast in front of others or show that I am superior. I would also say that i am quite affable and any of you who are keen to be my friend are free to do so!

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

I do not know much of my strengths but i do know that if i put my heart into the things that i do, i would definitely be able to work out the problems faced. There may be a long period of time where i would not be able to comprehend or work out a complication and in the next moment, jumping around exultantly upon solving the problem.

As for my weaknesses, i think that i am quite an introvert. I tend to keep to myself or choose to stick with a group of my close friends instead of joining the crowd and mixing with other people. Also, when solving problems, i often try to sort out the problem by myself instead of working in a group. As the saying goes "Two minds work better than one", i believe that this is a great handicap to me and disadvantages are never beneficial.

LIKES AND DISLIKES

In my primary school days, i was very interested in artwork. Sad to say, this feeling has since faded ever since i entered secondary school. However, i still love to draw pictures of some of my favourite story characters when i am not busy doing work. Now my interest lies in science, specifically physics. I like it because i think that it is very enjoyable to be able to uncover the truth of how things work or move. Also, i like to read on subjects concerning the Outer Space such as the characteristics of the stars and planets in the galaxies. As for food, i enjoy things that are fried, just like most other people.

I do not quite like people that do not keep their promises, boss over me, or who are disrespectful. I shall not elaborate much on this issue. In terms of other living organisms, i rather dislike animals that have slimy or scaly skins such as snakes. Just imagining them being in contact with me gives me the chills. Also, i hate eating lambs as i think that it gives off a funny, or rather stinky, smell.

DESCRIBE ANYTHING THAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT YOU

Interesting? I would say that i am born on the 6th of the 6th month. Additionally, even though i am a Singaporean, i spend all of my Chinese New Year in Malaysia. (Because some of my relatives are there)

Well... That's about it. Nice meeting all of you, Goodbye!
