Personality Traits
	One day when I was just laying down, thinking, I realized that I am the kind of person who gets bored quite easily, and that is evident in my behavior. For example, I like chess because a chess game is never the same, I prefer movies over lengthy TV series. And then,  I started thinking whether it’s a good or a bad thing. As it turns out, it’s both good and bad (like most things are). The bad side is, well, I get bored easily. The good side is that it propels me to learn and do new things, and it makes me enjoy new challenging things, such as new math problems to solve.
I am methodical but also very flexible. I think that some things are important to be focused on, while some others aren’t. For example, I have argued several times with my algebra and geometry teacher on why I shouldn’t have lost marks for my solution format in the Euclidian geometry unit test. Furthermore, a lot of times I prefer being the leader in a team. I want to see the progress, how things are done, and what can I do to improve the productivity. But at the same time I also want to do those things, mainly because I like to do things my way. It is as if there’s a sudden paranoia in me that wants everything done my way, and at my pace. 
Just recently I realized that one needs to be well rounded, not just focused only on one thing. So, I decided that I would start learning new things that aren’t related to math, programming, or robotics. So I started to work out in the gym (partly to impress someone), and reading books. Also, this summer I plan to learn how to cook, and engage a martial art discipline which are most likely going to be either Tae Kwon Do or Judo.
