This essay is going to be discussing the interview I had with Samely Perez, a student at Chah and one of my closest friends. Samely and I talked about a lot of different things, but the one thing that stood out to me was her love for reading books. This is an important hobby for Samely and I love hearing about it and having a relatable conversation with her about books. My angle for this personal profile will be samely’s love for reading books and how it impacts her life. “I feel relieved when I read, it’s a way to decompress after a long day.” Said by Samely.
Samely enjoys reading, watching TV shows/movies and she likes listening to music because you can feel emotions through the lyrics and she feels that all of these activities are all connected to each other, since they all can be a way to express emotions.These activities are important to samely because they help her relax and bring her peace and joy.
A challenge that Samely has faced while reading is not feeling motivated enough to continue reading books. Samely has overcome her challenges with feeling a lack of motivation by taking it one book at a time. Samely paces herself so she can finish the book but still soak in all of the information from the book. The achievements that samely has accomplished are being able to say that she has read 10 books in total which is a big deal because the books that she has completed are not short at all and are meaningful to her in some way. To samely this means a lot to her because it proves to herself that she can accomplish what matters to her. “Samely is a unique person, she does not always feel motivated to read but her love for reading is much stronger than not wanting to read, Samely knows how to light a room up. Me and her bond over our love for books, that’s one of the many reasons why she is one of my closest friends.” Said by Marylaura Chico.
Samely’s future goal is to be able to get into a good college that she likes but one that will also help her deepen her knowledge and help her pursue her career choice which is becoming a child physiologist and to be able to get out of her comfort zone. Samely aspires to help many kids because she believes that peoples childhood is a very important stage in their life because it helps shape them into the person they become and how they view themselves. Samely plans to reach these goals by finishing high school and graduating college.
“What I learned from reading is that everyone has their own battles behind closed doors, so always be mindful and respectful towards other people because you never know what they are going through.” Said by Samely Perez.
