College Essay #20 - Single Adjective

8) What single adjective do you think would be most frequently used to describe you by those who know you best? Briefly explain. (Stanford)

The best adjective I think that would be most frequently used to describe me is ‘happy.’

I love bright things around me. Bright things make me happy. As my new house is in the process of being built, my mom is on a hunt for new furniture to design the interior of the house.

When she had asked me how I wanted my room to look, I told her that I wanted a room filled with dazzling colors. She wasn’t surprised that I wanted a room filled with bright colors as she knew that these colors made me feel more energetic. I was very particular about the color of the curtains and the carpets. From the very beginning I told her the theme of my room; it was ‘animation.’ Things like cartoons, bright colors and stuffed toys always put a smile on my face. People imagine me as a person who brings light and joy inside a room filled with nothing.

Similarly my family describes me as an extremely fun loving person. Without me the family gatherings are boring, because I am the one with the music and games. Everyone in my family says that when I am not there the gathering is dull. When I hear these words it makes me feel even happier than before as it tells me that I am a fun filled person to be around.   

When I am going through tough times, even then I do not like to show that something is poking me so hard that I cannot bear it. Instead, I like to be optimistic about the obstacles that are coming my way. A smile can make everything better and it is the best remedy to a bad day. When you see a person smile at you in times of need it gives you hope to move on with a good attitude towards it. In the same way I want to be that person who brings smiles on peoples faces when they are in times of need.
