Reflection on Character Development: A Character I’d Like to Be
If I could shape my ideal character, I would keep my name as it is—Saksham. It translates to "capable," a quality I strive to embody and carry forward. My last name, Kumar, connects me to my roots in the Jatt community, a proud farming caste. Farming has been a fundamental part of my identity since childhood, and it’s one of the reasons I feel so drawn to pursuing environmental engineering. I want my work to reflect both my heritage and my passion for sustainability.
While I was born in Delhi, I grew up in the Philippines. If I had the chance to rewrite my story, I’d choose to be raised in Delhi, a place very close to my heart. Delhi’s vibrant food, festivals, and culture have always resonated with me, and I would cherish the opportunity to grow up amidst its rich heritage. I would want my upbringing to be rooted in tradition yet complemented by a modern, resourceful environment. Being raised in a wealthy family would allow me to have access to good schools and opportunities while staying deeply connected to my roots.
In terms of personality, my archetype would be the Explorer. I’ve always been fueled by curiosity, whether it’s delving into science, uncovering historical narratives, or simply learning about the world and its mysteries. I love to travel, and I see life as a journey of constant discovery. This sense of wonder drives my passion for growth and knowledge.
I would like to be family-oriented, ensuring close bonds with my loved ones. A supportive, tight-knit family would be central to my character, as would a close circle of friends. A best friend, a loyal partner, and positive relationships with my peers would provide me with the emotional foundation to thrive.
The character I aspire to be is one full of enthusiasm and motivation, someone unafraid to explore new horizons and learn constantly. My ultimate dream would be to secure admission to Stanford University, a place I believe aligns with my values of intellectual vitality and exploration. In this ideal life, I would be surrounded by opportunities to grow, explore, and contribute to the world in meaningful ways.
