This particular picture, while maybe appearing funny to look at by the viewer, has more meaning and depth behind it then when first seen. Before I explain why I chose it as a representation of myself, a little background history on it is needed.
The selected image is of my friend Ethan and I. This was taken in fall of 2009 when we were both first year freshman Visualization students here at Texas A&M. The very first day of class, Ethan sat down right beside me in our studio class. He had crazy colored hair, a giant hook through his nose, and listened to music that involved someone screaming like they were dying every three seconds. To put it lightly, I was terrified of him. We didn’t speak for three weeks and every day we would sit by each other, making our silent judgements and secretly wanting to get to know each other. Around the end of the first month, we slowly began talking. As time went on, I began to really get to know him, and cherish his friendship. He became one of my best friends here in College Station.
This representational picture of me was taken during one of our crazy allnighters where we were supposed to be working on a project but apparently decided running around Target and posing like a dog was a much better idea. (I like to think we were completely delirious from lack of sleep). I chose this image because it embodies not only my freshman year of Visualization, but my entire stay here at Texas A&M. Being in college has given me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people whose friendship and presence in my life has influenced me as a whole. An example of friendships formed in college are the people who are in my major with me. We are all diverse and unique individuals, thrown into each others lives through common interests. I’ve made some of my closest friends in college through this major which has allowed me to grow as an individual, both on a work/school level and on personal level as well. All of the people I have been blessed with meeting in college have truly shaped me into the individual I am today. I’m constantly learning, changing, and growing as I pursue my degree in Visualization, which is why I chose this picture as a representation of myself.

Be careful with commas. Some sentences can be broken up into multiple sentences. It is just something to watch for while editing your posts. Otherwise, a good explanation and a sweet anecdote.
