Flash intro
Who am I
“The things you do (in your free time) help you figure out what you like. Simple things like doing the dishes or organizing your desk..”
This was something Ken Sugarman, my internship coach, said to me. I immediately thought of the things I enjoy in my free time at home or the things I enjoy doing at work.
For example photoshopping pictures, taking and typing out minutes, creating webpages, cleaning up the office and my desk. If I add everything up that means that the things I like would reflect themselves in the work areas of personal assistant or designer. Well what do you know, those were the types of jobs that appealed to me the most. More than anything I like to be doing something creative or helpful for someone.
One of my hobbies that I had ever since I was little was writing fictional stories. But also writing informative text was something that I got great pleasure from. Ever since I could write I wrote short stories and poems. And at school we also had to make small essays. I loved to do research on a certain subject like for example pyramids and write everything down that I found out. We also had creative writing lessons. Sounds unbelievable at the age of 8, but of course at that time it wasn’t called creative writing. The assignments were simple. We had to write stories as you can find them in a book, with a main character and a bad guy etc. But I didn’t only write those stories because I had to. At that age I wrote three books and two musicals in my free time at home. The books had a front and back cover, which I drew and the musicals had songs that I made up myself, every song had a different melody.
Being creative by means of writing or designing together with my uncontrollable desire to please people constitute my profile, who I am, in one sentence.
