Age: 21

Status: Homeschool Graduate

Bio:

Writing about yourself is akin to writing about the mysteries of the universe - we are our own greatest mystery. Hence, I have gathered the observations and descriptions of my inner circle of friends, and hopefully you will gain their insight into who I am, for I cannot in all honesty write about myself and hope to emerge coherent.

Jean

Princess is:

1) friendly, spontaneous, always ready to offer help and assistance to others.

2) outspoken, free and unreserved in speech.. eg swearing. ;-P

3) natural and unconstrained.

Jos

Jules is:

1) truthful, sincere, unpretentious.

2) outspoken, dare to dream, perseverance (doesn't give up easily), not easily swayed.

3) warm, friendly, outgoing and optimistic.

Dave

Jules has:

1) outgoing energy, passion, and righteousness (and your sports car!)

2) moments of contemplation and self-reflection.

3) youth and a wandering spirit.

Louis

Julie-san:

1) Like Jules, Jade was born during a storm and the reason people keep Jade in their homes is to keep lightning at bay. She despite all she says, is closely tied to family and clan. She fights others with the same thing they fight her with.

2) Bold but often unseen, when looking at her some see her as bold and some see as wallflower. Like the ocean or sky, it is vast and bold or empty depending on how we look at it.

3) Arrogance and hubris can slowly burn out but like tigers, they have white stripes as well and black. She has a duality, she can be the best person or the worst, depending on your morals, ethics, and actions. She needs not to focus on which color is more appropriate for which situation but to use both in all situations. When someone does wrong, it's okay to lecture as well as to forgive. When someone does right, one should select the best compliment out of the whole lot in one's head. For the best one, is often embarrassing to say but most true. She knows she has great power, just needs to focus on when, how much, and why?

Andrew

Siu Mui (little sister) is/has:

1) formal, business oriented, healthy bottom line.

2) a proud Chinese heritage, bold like a warrior.

3) the strength and ferocity of attitude, the color of tigers and flames.

Kit Meng

Jules has:

1) uncompromising idealism in her outlook

2) depth and mystery in her soul

3) innocence and youth still relatively unblemished by the brown smog of the world, trying so hard to shine but yet subdued by conflicting poles.

Centaur

Jules is:

1) blue for the melancholy that she is trying to break out of.

2) black for the determination in her heart.

3) red for the hope that is deep set within.
