Learning About Iren's Life

My name is Iren Wang. It’s pronounced Irene but spelled Iren. Even spellcheck always thinks I spelled my name wrong but don’t ask me why I spell it like that because I don’t know either. I am 15 years old and will turn 16 on December 22. I have a younger step-brother and he is 9 years old. I take care of him most of the time since my parents are not usually home. When I am not babysitting, I like to go out and go on adventures and interacting with nature. I like hiking, boat rowing, horse riding, hunting, and anything that will allow me to be outside with nature and interacting with others. I love being out in the woods because it’s so quiet, you can hear yourself think. It places me in a calm, relaxing mental state that allows me to think clearly and be free. I am a very outgoing person and I tend to speak a lot because I always feel like no one wants to start a conversation. I always want to make conversation and just talk with other people(regardless of what the topic is). Now a days, everyone is so addicted to their phones and technology that they don’t appreciate what they have outside of their house and the fact that if nature ceased to exist, we would cease to exist. I don’t like being home and playing video games, but if you like being outside in nature, socializing, and not slouching at home, I should be a somewhat perfect match for a friend.

Aside from being very outgoing and interactive, I care just as much about my studies. Although I like being outdoors most of the time, I only set time aside if I’ve finished my homework and taken care of all the assigned tasks given. My family has very high exceptions regarding my studies so I always try to meet their expectations, and although sometimes all I meet is failure, I always keep trying. I get upset at myself and become overwhelmed with disappointment when I don’t accomplish my goal. I have good time management skills and I use lists and other organization methods to complete my tasks of the day. I’m very practical and systematic. I rarely let my emotions affect my actions and thinking. I tend to do the hard tasks first before I move onto the easier ones. I cannot say I have OCD because I would be self diagnosing myself but I believe I’m a perfectionist. I always do things to the best of my ability and I always fix things that does not sit well with me. I would try and change every little thing that I dislike and I am meticulously organized. I have a very persistent and opinionated personality. I tend to want to be in charge and I like giving out tasks as well as assisting my team members to reach perfection.

In the future, I want to go into Hotel/Resort Management. I like organizing and overseeing a group of people who will be assisting others. I want to work in a place that will allow families to be together and help bring families together. I enjoy being in charge because of my persistent personality. I enjoy overseeing tasks being completed to perfection and coming up with solutions when we run into an obstacle. I want to work as part of a company that will bring children joy despite their other problems. I’m someone who also assist others and although I get a lecture afterwards from my parents, I believe that in life, if you can’t/don’t help others, then what is the point of living? I believe that if you want to be happy, others around you should also be happy.
