Having an interest in philosophy and having studied it in the IB Diploma, I have a tendency to be fairly analytical and perceptive, often looking into things from different perspectives and when adverse situations arise, I take into account both the emotional and logical sides of a solution. Due to my perceptive nature, I'm easily able to see the good and bad in situations and people alike, with the latter causing me to become less easily influenced by people around me and thus become more independent. Instead, I strive to be my own person and have my own unique ideas and opinions. I also find it hard to give up on something as I'm very resilient - once I start something, I always have the thought of completing it to the best of my ability.
