6. Photographs
It was my last stop before I headed back to my family’s apartment that we had
rented for a week. I quickly jumped off the subway at Union Square. When I came out
of the metro into the square sunlight, it took a moment for my eyes to absorb the vibrant
urban colors and pulsating activity. Then I locked eyes on a string of venders that were
laced along the cement sidewalks with steam rising up around them. Past the orange and
mango stands and the tie-dyed T-shirts, beyond the knock off Prada bags and copied
Chen Lu beaded bracelets, my eye was drawn to the display of photographs beneath this
overhanging, oak tree. The small stand contained a sprawl of pictures that captured a
largely urban motif.
One photograph immediately grabbed my attention. The colored print captured a
man’s back to the camera, playing a piano. Half of the print was covered with his
shadow, while the other half was lit by the sun. I instantly knew that I had to have this
print. I could already see exactly where I would hang it - in my room, next to a window,
where it would be one of the first things to greet me in the morning.
Still to this day, I can’t explain exactly why I loved this print, but I can’t explain it
away. There is an ineffable quality that the lens captured in an instant. Perhaps what
resonated on an almost subconscious level was the love I have always had for music.
The fact that this person was playing music, and this artist captures this creative act, was
the magnetic pull underneath the print. Sometimes now when I’m gazing at this picture
in my room, with the moonlight streaming in through the shutters, I can almost hear the
piano’s music lulling me into a dreamy reverie.
This picture continues to fuel my passion for photography today. Whenever I’m
behind the camera, I’m sensitive to my surroundings, and my eye is constantly searching to
capture a moment of transcendence. Often this moment is found in the most mundane and
common places. I think, for example, of my art teacher, assigning me the task of taking
pictures around campus. For whatever reason, my eye was riveted by an elementary
playground, and specifically these monkey-bar like rings. On my film camera, I only had
a chance to snap off one caption. Later, when I returned to the dark room and processed
the picture, I remember staring down at my print, and for the first time, I felt like a real
artist. The simple picture was of a tunnel of rings. The first ring was out of focus. The
second ring, however, was in sharp focus, bathed in sunlight. The rest of the rings
morphed together to accentuate the first two rings. This picture now hangs on the other
side of the window in my room, and it’s a reminder that the responsibility of the artist
involves paying attention to one’s surroundings. Because the truth is, there is beauty all
around us, and often it unfolds before our eyes in a flash, and only those paying attention
will be able to see it and experience its full force.

7. Personality
A personality is an individual’s characteristic style of behaving, thinking, and
feeling. Each person has a unique personality that has been shaped by different events
and people in that person’s life. Nobody has had the exact same experiences as another
person, so everyone has special personality traits that make them different. As a person
grows up, their personality changes, develops, and molds according to each personal
experience.
I think that throughout my life my personality has changed drastically, but several
traits have stuck with me forever. When I was a baby, my mother and father both told me
that I was such a good baby. I hardly ever cried and was very obedient and very quiet.
As I grew older I became louder and louder. My parents’ once silent toddler was
suddenly a nonstop talking machine. I was also a very messy child, which is odd,
because now I am almost OCD about keeping things clean. I was a very messy and
extroverted teenager, with little regard to the rules. I also really liked being the center of
attention all of the time. I used to be such a crazy driver and was extremely careless on
the road. My grades, schooling, and future were things I never considered to be very
important, and I basically focused all of my attention on my friends.
Now that I have grown up a little bit more I can see how my personality has
changed between the stages of growing up. I am less carefree and I worry a lot more than
I used to. I am also a little bit more introverted than I used to be, and no longer desire to
be the center of everyone’s attention. I also take grades and school much more seriously
now and actually care about how I am doing in school. I am very clean and organized,
which is a huge difference from a few years ago.
Though my personality has changed dramatically from when I was a child to now, I can
also think of many traits of mine that have not changed. For example, I was raised in a
catholic school and church from when I was born until I was a sophomore in high school.
Then, even though I changed schools and have been around many other religions and
have friends that believe in different things than me, I have never changed my beliefs. I
also have my own specific opinions about social policies, and although many people
around me disagree and try to change my opinion, I still stick with my beliefs and morals.
In addition, I have always been very adventurous and curious. Even though now I act
more carefully than before, I still love a good adventure. These are personality traits that I
do not think are going to change very much with age.
I believe that my personality has been molding itself since I was born and will
continue to change slightly depending on what I am doing with my life, where I am
living, and the experiences I have, but for the most part it will stay the same. When I am
sixty, I am sure that my personality will be slightly different, since I will have aged about
forty years and have experienced a lot more, but I do not think that most of my morals,
opinions, and interests will become drastically different.
Of the five personality traits, I think my personality contains a lot of openness to
experience. I am very imaginative and adventurous. I love coming up with crazy ideas

definitely not my main personality trait. I am low in agreeableness, because I tend to be
very suspicious of other people, but I am very cooperative with others. I am quite
extroverted. I am often bursting with energy and love to play outside and be with other
people. I worry quite often and I also experience intense anxiety sometimes, so my
personality could contain a lot of neuroticism.
Each person has a unique personality and a different level of each of the big 5
personality traits. There is no way to identify exactly who has what percent of which
personality trait and that is how everyone is so different. I believe that most people have
basic personality traits that do not change a lot over their lifetimes, but they will change
slightly.
