Ellee Bakshis '21 Recruiting Profile

Life is something we take for granite everyday. I used to drown in my own failures and faults. I've learned that accepting failures and your faults help you as a person and in life. I've decided that I'd rather grow as a person than wallow in my own abyss. I'm not always good with people because I'm awkward, blunt, and honest. I say whats on my mind without thinking sometimes and lose my cool but I always mean well. It's best to solve issues sooner rather than later. Reaching out to people and discussing what transpired is the best communication in life when it comes to conflict though unfortunately not everyone is granted that sense of respect. I'm still working on myself and I'm striving to learn and grow. Having fun and making people happy is one of the best joys in life. I've been coasting in school which can be okay sometimes and I do work hard but I wish to improve that desire to work harder so I can reach new heights in life and be proud of my work.  I don't wish to project myself as this perfect person because if I project myself like that would anyone be willing to let me in? Guide them? Help them? Have them rely on me? Let me help make their day even better? Let them know I'm just like them and everyone else? No one is perfect but striving to improve does not mean perfectionist. Falling down in life doesn't make you weak either.
