I don't know if there's anything that makes me super special. I'm a minority. I don't have the same experiences that my white counterparts may get. I have a multicultural household. I guess growing up in a different environment than most of my classmates has shaped me in a unique way. At my house, we don't eat the same foods that most households eat. We don't share the same traditions, and we don't celebrate most of the same holidays. In a way, this has caused me to feel isolated. It's difficult to find people who have a similar upbringing to mine, so I rarely have people to relate to. The way I was raised and the type of life I live in my house has definitely shaped me and my personality.
Aside from that, though, I'm not sure what really sets me apart from others. I play sports, I'm on the debate team, I love crime-themed books and shows like Criminal Minds and NCIS, I'm not the biggest fan of going to super social events, I tend to gatekeep things that I really like, and I think I want to do something related to medicine. There is nothing about me that significantly sets me apart from other people, but maybe my non-uniqueness is what makes me unique.
