This Is Me

     At some point in our lives, each person must come to recognize their individuality. When asking ourselves  "Who am I?" we must dig deep within ourselves and pick apart the pieces that form our being. With that said, I like to take the time to appreciate who I am.
     My name is Arabella DiSanto, but I prefer going by Bella. I am of Italian, Romanian, German and Polish heritage. I would love to learn to speak Italian, although I have been taking Spanish lessons for 12 years. I have I knack for learning languages. To me, the study of other cultures are fascinating. Some day, I would love to travel and explore the world-- visiting new places, trying strange foods, meeting interesting people. Something I am passionate about is makeup. I believe in the power of inner beauty; it is so invigorating to feel confident. Makeup is not just about looking and feeling fierce, but it is also a form of art expression. I hope to find a career in the business of cosmetology to help share this passion with others.
    I love to see smiles and make others laugh. Corny jokes and dry puns are probably what make my world go round. I firmly believe laughter is the best medicine. Life is too short to sweat small stuff like a low test grade or a bad hair day. By finding joy in the small stuff, we find strength-- our reasons to live. It is important to be self- aware, but do not lose sight of your surroundings. Our passions, battles and other experiences shape who we are. What we choose to do with life's opportunities show character. Some choices require more strength than others, so please, never stop fighting. Continue to find yourself and grow with each new day.
