Summary
While job experiences, education, and extracurriculars are all important when evaluating a person, I think the most telling thing is someone's heart. I'm a person who values relationships, especially with my family and close friends. Quality time is something I value and I believe that in life, everyone should have one person that they feel will listen and be there for them no matter what the situation, and I try to be that for as many people as I can. Everyday you can make a choice of how you want to make an impact, and I choose to make an impact through kindness.
