Who Am I?

Katie Higgins

My name is Katie Higgins and I live in Horsham, Pennsylvania.

My family has a wide range of career

choices.

• My Grandmother was offered a full ride to

the University of Pennsylvania but didn’t take

it because her father told her it was more

important to raise a family than to receive an

education. She later became a pre-school

and elementary teacher.

• Both of my grandfathers went into the

military and toured throughout Europe. When

they came home they both went to school

and got jobs.

• My other grandmother moved from Scotland

to the United States and was a secretary.

• My mother is a business analyst. She

originally wanted to be a psychology and

sociology major but her dad told her she

wasn’t allowed.

• My father is an accountant. He wanted to be

a firefighter but his parents told him it wasn’t a

good enough career.

• According to my Interest Profile, I am social, investigative, and artistic.

• According to my Work Survey, I am independent and I like to feel

accomplished.

• Myers Briggs profiled me as the type of person who is an extrovert, has an

intuition, enjoys thinking, and has a large perception.

Surveys

Speaking for my friends and family, I think they would say that I am logical, opinionated,

and that I have a good sense of humor.

My teachers may think that I am determined and hardworking; even if I am an average

student.

I have many things that I am

interested in but I am truly

passionate about gymnastics.

Passions

Speaking on behalf of my personal

dreams, I am almost positive that I

do not want kids. I am still unsure

as to whether or not I want to be

married. I can see myself in the

future living on my own because

there are many things that I want to

do by myself ; I don’t want other

people to hold me back from doing

them. I want to live in a condo

overlooking a city with floor to

ceiling windows. I sometimes think

that I set dreams too far but if I

don’t then I will have nothing to

strive for.?

Personal Dreams

On a more professional level, I have thought of many things that I would like to do. I

promised myself when I was little that I would like to open my own gym, designated only

for gymnastics. As I got older, I realized that my interest changed. I now want to be

involved in the fashion industry. If I realize the fashion industry is not for me or is too

competitive, I would love to open my own gym.

My dreams are a good fit for me because I feel that dreams can never be too far

fetched. I know people doubt what I can do which is why I want to prove everyone

wrong.

Dream Strategy

Besides gymnastics, I also enjoy art.

My favorite media to work with is paint.

I love listening to music as well as

playing the piano. Even though I may

not be strong academically, I know for

sure that I have a large imagination

and determination.

Interests

I have many personal

struggles such as:

I am easily frustrated and I

am incredibly impatient. I

also dislike how I start

things but I feel like I can

never finish them because I

drop interests just as fast as

I create new ones.

Personal Flaws

After working at a summer

camp, I developed the thought

of not having children. I also

realized that I dislike working

outdoors. I keep going back

each summer because the

people I work with and the

memories I make overpower

the working conditions and kids.

Work Experience

After living in the suburbs for so long, I want to leave as quickly as possible. In 8th

grade I went to England and knew as soon as my plane landed that there was so

much more to offer outside of the Hatboro-Horsham community. My potential places

to live would be in the city (New York), on a beach (California), or even a different

country (Greece) to experience new cultures.

I absolutely hate math more than anything in the

entire world. Math destroys every sense of

confidence that I will ever have. I have no ability to

ask questions on why things are the way they are.

I do not understand why letters are involved with

numbers when they should be left for the alphabet.

I do not like things done in order and I do not like

being told how to do them. I feel like math is

pointless and completely illogical.

Academic Flaws

I can be easily contacted through either my

email or cell phone.
