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.

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
