1- Have you seen the new girl in school? Describe her.
Yeah, I’ve seen her. She’s got long black hair, always tied up neatly, and wears glasses that give her a really smart vibe. She’s quiet but polite, always smiling when someone talks to her. Her fashion is simple but classy, she sticks to light pastel colors. I think she’s still adjusting, but people seem curious about her. There’s something calm and mature about her presence.
2- Can you describe your parents in detail?
My dad is a quiet but wise man. He’s tall, with a bit of grey in his hair now, and he loves fixing things around the house. My mom is warm and energetic, always chatting with neighbors and cooking up something amazing. She has kind eyes and a laugh that fills the whole room. Together, they balance each other really well. I’ve learned patience from him and empathy from her.
3-What does your best friend look like? Can you describe how their appearance reflects their personality?
My best friend is always in comfy hoodies and sneakers, which totally fits their chill personality. They have short, messy hair and always wear a beaded bracelet their little sister made. They don’t care much about looking perfect, but they always look like themselves, and that’s cool. Their relaxed style makes people feel comfortable around them. That easygoing vibe is exactly why so many people trust them with their secrets.
4- How would you describe your personality? How do others usually respond to your personality traits?
I’m a mix of calm and curious. I like observing people and thinking before I speak, but when I’m excited about something, I can talk non-stop. Friends say I’m dependable and a good listener, which I take as a compliment. Some people mistake my quietness for being distant, but once they get to know me, they see I’m just thoughtful. I usually get along well with most people.
5- Who is someone you admire and what do they look like?
I really admire my older cousin. She’s tall, always stands confidently, and has this way of dressing that’s bold but classy. Her eyes are sharp like she’s always planning her next big move. She works in marketing and always seems so sure of herself. I admire how she balances being kind and assertive at the same time. She’s like the definition of “quiet power.”
6- Do you think your appearance has changed over the years? How do you feel about those changes?
Definitely, it’s weird looking back at old photos. I used to be much shorter, and my style was, let’s just say, all over the place. Now I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and I dress more like myself. I’ve grown into my features, and I’m learning to accept the little imperfections. It feels good to look in the mirror and recognize the person I’m becoming. Change isn’t so bad when it shows growth.
7- What do you notice first when you meet someone new? Why do you think that stands out to you?
Usually, I notice their eyes and the way they smile or don’t. Eyes can say a lot, like if someone is tired, excited, or just pretending to be okay. I think I pay attention to that because I care about how people feel, even if they don’t say it out loud. A genuine smile always makes a good impression. It shows warmth and openness.
8- Can you describe a teacher you really liked?
Yes, my history teacher in secondary school was amazing. She wore colorful shawls and always had a story to go with every topic. She made learning feel like a journey through time, not just memorizing facts. What I liked most was how she treated every student with respect, no matter how well they did in class. Her patience and passion inspired me. I still remember the way she said, “History is human.”
9- How would your friends describe you? Why or why not?
I think they’d describe me as loyal and a bit of a deep thinker. They know I don’t talk a lot at first, but when I open up, I’m all in. I’m the one who remembers birthdays and checks in after a tough day. Some might say I overthink, but they also know I care deeply. They trust me because I show up when it matters most.
10- Describe a character from a movie or book you like.
I really like Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series. She’s dreamy, a bit strange, but completely unapologetic about who she is. With her messy blonde hair and quirky outfits, she stands out in the best way. What makes her special is her quiet strength and her loyalty to her friends. She sees the world differently, and that’s her superpower. I admire how she stays true to herself, no matter what others think.
