My Self - Personal Essay

My name is Saffi Rashid. I was born on the 25th of July in 1993, which means I am 18 years old now. I have got 4 siblings; en elder sister and 3 younger brothers. Then I have got my mom and dad too. I'm mostly close with my sister, as she's the only sister I have. However, I do love my brothers too and make the most of it whenever I am with them.

I have been living and studying in Denmark untill I was in 7th class (14 years old), then I moved to England with my family. I finished off my highschool and took 1 years in college, then I moved back to Denmark again. It just didn't work out with me and my family. So now we're back in Denmark and I have started in 'Avedøre Gymnasium' and hopefully I will be able to finish off with some great grades and then I plan to study abroad in England. The field I am thinking to study in is; Medicine. England is a great country with great opportunities, so I will have no doubt, when It'll come down to choose a country.

I love going to school and I have always taken my studies very seriously. I have never said to anyone in my life, that 'I hate studies'. Many people find me as a geek, but I only see that as a compliment rather than an insult. I have got big dreams, when it comes to studies. Since I was 6 years old, I decided to be a doctor. So that is my goal and I always try to aim to do my best at school, so hopefully my hard work will pay off in the end. I don't really know why I decided to be a doctor. I just love hospitals. Although I do feel very sorry whenever I see the poor patients in there, but just the fact that we have got hospitals to cure people is a great thing. Caring for people has always been my desire. Whenever I see someone, who I think need careness or help, I am always willing to help them.

Some interests I have got are; reading books, wacthing movies, cooking and praying. I love to read books, because books can always be true friends. They never demand neither do they complain. This is the way I look upon books. Mostly I read novels. Currently I am reading a novel called "The Blind Assasin".

Moving on to favourite movies; Titanic, Romeo & Juliet, Crash, Twilight. Basically the list can go on and on. I must be up to date with the latest movies.

Cooking has been a huge interest of mine. My mom's a great cook- especially in asian cooking. I think I have got it from her. From my point of view, having learned how to cook, makes a persons life much easier.

Then last but not least I love praying. I pray as much as I can. Being a muslim and not praying, just doesn't go together, so that is why I pray. I also feel that whenever I pray, it helps me getting forward
