Aside from books or articles assigned for school, the past year has introduced me to a diverse range of captivating materials that have enriched my intellectual landscape. Among these, the book "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari stands out. Its sweeping narrative through the evolution of human civilization has fascinated me, sparking a deeper curiosity about our collective history. This book not only educated me but also encouraged me to view contemporary issues with a historical lens.

My diligence has been exemplified in my academic pursuits. While pursuing a challenging physics project, I consistently invested extra hours to understand complex concepts. Additionally, curiosity has been an intrinsic part of my nature. When exploring a new subject, such as art history, my curiosity drives me to delve deeper into its nuances.

This empathy extends beyond volunteering, shaping my friendships and enabling me to provide genuine support during tough times.
