A letter to my academic advisor. PART 1 I am Emile, and it is my greatest pleasure to meet you. My friends would probably describe me as a calm and introverted person. That is true, I like to dream and contemplate, but it is not all I am about. I think our friends can see just a small part of our personality; a bigger part is known to ourselves, and a bit of us is never revealed to anyone. It is amazing how many things I learn about myself every day! I am patient, determined, and diligent, motivated to learn and sharpen my mind. Although sometimes I am sensitive and creative. I like to think, observe other people, and write. I am critical, both to myself and the others, ambitious, and confident. I like my perfectionism, although sometimes it becomes a true pain. Education and learning has always played the leading role in my life. I take learning as a way of living and try to notice life lessons at every situation. I have some great achievements in academic subjects. But I am also convinced that our extra-curricular activities are very meaningful as well. I have been attending a music school for nine years and have lots of experience in playing flute and piano. I have participated in many republican contests and festivals. Furthermore, I have been a member of the biggest flute orchestra in Lithuania. Learning and refining my musical skills requires a lot of time; however, I find it as a great opportunity to express myself through music. I also believe that it is very important to be socially active and aware of the issues that surround us. I am interested in current worldwide problems, like the refugee crisis in Europe or terrorist attacks all over the world. I always try not to be indifferent to what is happening in our world, because I believe that global concern can make changes in solving geopolitical, environmental, or social problems. While I am a student, I willingly take part in various social activities in our school or city.
