Profile Writing for Partner & Reflection of Activity

 Hi Everyone! It's me again and welcomes you back to my blog! 

In my last post, I promised that I would show you guys my profile writing for my partner. 

Naira is also a true fan of the movie gossip girl. She also has a thing for

“hot bad guys” for example, Chuck Bass from gossip girl.

Naira also believes in giving people

second chances; she could still find Chuck Bass charming after the fact that

Naira’s other favorite character in the movie Serena Van Der Woodsen was

sexually harassed by him. She also believes that people change,

although Chuck Bass was a sexual harasser and a cheater,

she still had a strong sense of empathy and hoped that he would change.

Naira believes that no matter how bad a person can be there might still be

some good in them which just needs to be found.

Naira is also the kind of person that wants to be an agent of change

and often would lend a helping hand to the people in need.

She is often a shoulder to cry on for many of her friends and family.

Naira hopes to be a person of bravery and a pillar for her family.

She also looks up to the characters of Blaire Waldorf and

Serena Van Der Woodsen in Gossip Girl.

Naira is also a fashionista and a classy girl,

she likes minimalist clothing especially the brands, Stradivarius, Zara,

Atsthelabel, Thebrightstock, Pyrusandspruce, and Amaya. jkt.

She always likes to stay up to date and follow the fashion trend, however, she is not a very glamorous kind of girl, she's more of a simplistic kind of girl that doesn’t put on too much makeup or try too hard to look pretty. She is also very confident in terms of the way she dresses up and she feels that she is pretty just the way she is. According to Naira, the kind of clothes you wear is a good representation of you, your personality, your character, and the vibes you give off to other people. She feels that beauty is from within and is not from how you look, because what matters is how you can give a positive trend to the Indonesian youth and she also feels that having a good character and kindness is vital to her. 

Naira has a sophisticated and critical sense of music which usually complements her feelings during a certain time. During the times that she wants some hype or when she wishes to rock and roll, she listens to music such as Keshi, 1975, The Band Camino, All Time Low, 5 Seconds Of Summer, One Direction. During her darkest days, when she needs something to cry or something to make her feel better she listens to Empty Space and Can I Be Him by James Arthur, Lost by Blake Rose. She is also someone that likes to discover new music according to the so-called “teenager hype” which usually changes over time.

Naira is also someone that is missing out a lot on her life, due to the mere fact that she is adventurous in traveling, but not in the type of foods that she is willing to try. She is the type of person that is kind of basic and once she likes a certain type of food which usually happens once in a million years, she will never get bored of it. She does not like a burst of flavors in her food and usually orders her pasta “without onion, garlic, and veggies.”  She also says that she needs to improve her nutrition intake because of her lack of fondness for fruits, only consuming apples, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and pears if she is forced by her parents or when she is unwell. One of her most all-time favorite restaurants is Sushi Tei, her usual orders are Onigiri Yakiniku, Gyu Tamagotoji Ju (beef), Crispy Cheese Roll and Salmon Skin Maki both without Tanuki, Salmon Mentai Canape and she usually asks for the free crunchy roll (Tanuki).

A communication degree was not Naira’s first choice. She was more interested in studying psychology because she was interested in studying human behavior which was also quite common to communications. However, she had several meetings with her university counselor back in high school, conversations with her parents as well as conversations with various university representatives. After this and all her rejections in her psychology applications, she felt that more confident that applying for a communications major was the right fit for her.

 

Naira also really enjoys traveling and exploring new places. One of her most memorable experiences was when she went to Canada with her cousins for a holiday back when she was still in junior high school. She also describes this mall called Square one which gave her the semi-outdoor kind of vibe. There was a Disney store where she bought a Phineas and Ferb board game. She also enjoyed strolling around the city, visiting the museums and the cool weather of Canada.

To conclude, Naira is a family person that would do anything for the people she loves and she aspires to become the best version of herself as a communications student by always looking at the light in others, listening to the people that need someone to talk to. As a communications student, she also hopes that she can use her “voice” to bring about a positive change and to become an inspiration for fellow Indonesian youth.

Reflection:

I actually really enjoyed this activity of profile writing and I think it helped me get closer to Naira and bond with her more. I kind of think that this activity is like somewhat forced friendship, so like you are randomly put in break-out rooms and whoever your partner is you have to talk to them and write a 1000 word essay profile about them. I think what was most challenging in this activity is writing about someone else because all these times we always write about ourselves. I think the challenge for me was how to make a

person that I rarely knew stand out. How could I represent her to the best of my ability with the only little information that I knew about her. I think this activity would have been much easier if I wrote about myself but I had to brace for the challenge, get out of my comfort zone and try something new. It surely was not easy but I surely learned something from it and I think I was pretty much happy with the profile that I managed to come up with for my partner Naira.
