Sample Essay About Myself

By: Danping Liu

Hi, my name is Danping Liu, and I currently am a senior in high-school grade 12. I moved to Lamar High School in 2014 as a sophomore and I enjoy myself here and with awesome loving friends each and every day. My school, teachers, and awesome loving friends share a great learning atmosphere and it really makes you want to participate and attend the classes. It is amazing just how interesting school can be when you relate to each class. Before I joined LHS I was studying at Shanghai American School for two years before we came to America. I am born an raised in Shanghai and descendant of a Chinese mother and half Chinese, half German father where I learned to speak English (ESL) and some German.

I am a very out-going and spontaneous girl with, in my opinion, a hilarious sense of humor (awesome loving friends thing I am funny). One thing you should know about me is that I am very bashful and shy but as soon as I came out of a shell, I feel very confident and comfortable around peers and friends. It is very easy using myself to make friends once I break through timid personality barriers but I think you will love learning about me. I enjoy humor and the outgoing personalities of cherished friendships and I care strongly about others feelings and ideas. Compassion and honesty are really a part of moral book and my close awesome loving friends will argue that is the biggest weakness on mine. I know some people fake their way through school and life but you get the real me every day.

Academics are a strong point of who I am and I really like school to be challenged mentally and physically as well as problem solving. Classes in school come easy most of the time but I really like history and past events which lead to critically thinking every day. These skills are invaluable later on in life throughout school and will prepare myself to learn in college and how to think about future goals and responsibilities.

It's been a tough transition when classes start and coming to the USA but all the people have been very accommodating. Transitioning from SAS to LHS has been emotionally tough but I hope hearing about my life story over the past years will help you get through the tough times. I hope I get to know all the classmates better and I can share about me, my world outside of the USA and the past and current memories of the awesome loving friends.
