Jesleen's Autobiography

Hello, my name is Jessleen and I’m 13 years old, I live in Jakarta and am an 8th grader at BTB school. I will be sharing some interesting parts of my life with you through this autobiography I made.

I was born on July 10, 2010. Ever since I was a kid, I would never socialize with anyone other than my family, and even so, sometimes I would barely talk with my family too. I always hated socializing with people and because of that, I had no friends. It didn’t really bother me since I love being alone and by myself, I had everything I needed, a nice family, a decent house, and an enjoyable childhood.

Back then, school was a place I hated, because of my lack of socializing. I was never an academic achiever and my grades have always been around 60-80. Although I never really got a high score, Science and English were the two subjects I liked most. I didn’t get good grades in any of them but out of all the subjects, Science and English were the two subjects I enjoyed most. One teacher who motivated me in English was Ms. Divya, she was in my homeroom back in 7th grade and she’s the kindest and most caring teacher I’ve ever met. She taught me well in English and I’m glad I’ve gained knowledge from such a kind person.

One hobby I developed ever since I was little, was arts. I love arts so much, whether it’s painting, doodling, arts and crafts, etc. My favorite has got to be drawing, I love to draw both digitally and traditionally. I remember my mother would punish me for doodling on my bedroom walls, chairs, and tables. I don’t like playing video games.

As a kid, I dreamt of being a vet, because I love animals, mainly dogs. However I did not know that we had to do surgical operations on them, and when I did find out, I stopped dreaming of becoming a vet. Now I really want to be a fashion designer, and with my drawing skills I have a higher chance, I really did take advantage of my art skills to be a fashion designer.

So in conclusion, life is tough, life is unfair, and life is far from perfect, life isn’t as easy as you think, but you must not give up on your dream. Yes, there are times when you feel like you’ve failed in life and that everything seems impossible to reach, but no, that doesn’t mean you can just give up like that, you have many things ahead of you, and you must keep going. Keep going ‘till you reach success, keep going for those who you love.
