About Me

A real life photo of me

Hi! My name is Jarrah. I am a creative, (usually) quiet person who likes to play games, draw and read. Some of my strengths include academics, empathy , and leadership.

I am a fairly collaborative person, although if I have a choice I will usually choose to work alone. In group settings, I tend to either contribute a lot or not much, depending on the topic and my knowledge of it. I usually keep quiet and get work done. You know those people that are always having ideas and telling people about them? Yeah, that’s definitely not me. I’m one of those people that has an idea and then deems it bad, or too simple. This usually leads to me not sharing much in groupwork, but when I share an idea it’s usually a great one.

My strengths, which I touched on earlier, include a few things I’m really good at, and some that I’m okay at. Things I’m really good at (when I choose to be): Academics, empathy, leadership (I know it’s repetition, but stick with me), reading, fictional world design, drawing, Unite, understanding people, and procrastinating. Things I’m okay at: Splatoon, digital art, getting people to understand me, VGC, Smash Ultimate, and cooking.

I’ve also gotten my fair share of achievements in my (so far) short life, including a few from ASC. I’ve gotten the Learning Area award for Digital Technologies for semester 1 in 2021, I managed a pretty good NAPLAN score for the same year. I got the honour roll for BEBRAS 2020, a high distinction for the Big Science Competition Online Y7 2019 (note: I was in Y5), and a few merit awards for 2021 from ASC.

I know this is meant to be an overview of my strengths and achievements, but I also want to actually make this an about me, not just an about what I’m good at that people will employ me for. So here’s some stuff that’s about me as a person, not an employable object. I am a student at All Saint’s College (although you probably already knew that) in the Class of 2026, I have a quiet personality (often), I like to do things with people I know, or by myself. I like to spend a lot of time doing things I like, and procrastinate about doing things I like a bit less. I am a trustworthy person. I have a circle of friends that I talk to, but outside that I don’t talk much. I have a unusual taste in music, for instance mostly ‘chill’ EDM.  I like to win. I like to keep people happy, although if they tend to frustrate me I won’t bother. Anyway, that was just a few things about me. Enjoy my ePortfolio!
