If you would by any chance ask any of my friends or family members to describe me in a line or two, they would probably give you a response like "that small quiet and gentle boy who is only interested in studying his books from morning till night''. None of their responses would suggest to you that this little boy in question was one who underneath his soul was a boy laced with doggedness and determination. I can remember, in one of my social media account profiles, I described myself as "lamb on the outside; lion on the inside." I can assuredly tell you that I didn’t even really have a clue about what I was saying about myself by then. I just felt I was writing something that would "scare" prospective bullies away from me.

He resounded it, this time, louder. "I said, who amongst you here can do 100 sit-ups?!" This boy talking was one of the boys we termed "bullies" in our hostel. He was big and muscular for his age.

I strongly believe that I would contribute immensely to the MSU community. For anyone to have managed to get enrolled into MSU, I believe such a person is of a high quality, and I'll be bringing in my own unique set of qualities to add up to the overall richness of the campus life. I will bring with me the belief that hard work and determination are essential for developing a strong moral character.
