My main passion I'd like to think it'd be art.
It helps me escape from the real world, only if it's for 1-2 hours a day. This helps me calm down with the panic attacks I have, and the uncontrollable breathing issues. I like to doodle, sketch and create pictures that show delicacy in what I do. I do both, original on paper, and virtual from my laptop, I find it hard to draw people, but I don't let it stop me from what I enjoy. My friends have said It's relatively good, but my aim is to be one of the best artists in britian, and be well known for what I enjoy the most. My inspiration can come from anything, food to the people I care about. I am gay, my boyfriend and I usually sit together and create stuff. We both have an eye on mastering painting, which took me a lot of time an effort, which I really enjoy now after trying hard enough. Thanks for reading ^^

I'm applying for
1. OMGSR Cinnabun,
2. Sunback
3. The entire Zodiac group.

Hello!

Drawing and editing videos (fan-made edits) are some of my most biggest passions. I've been drawing fairly good ever since I've been able to pick up a pencil and even made myself the best artist in my grade at school (To me, personally, my Oekakis on CS are horrible compared to my drawings now). Because of drawing, I found myself wanting to animate and make games/movies when I am older. I've even considered teaching myself the basics of animating and getting a program for it.
And now, maybe a year or two ago I had started video editing. Since then, I've been able to do it very well. A majority of the edits are about my favorite YouTubers Markiplier and JackSepticEye, sometimes PewDiePie will be included.

And some of my more personal stories.

My self-confidence is relatively low. At times I don't think I am good for certain people, or I compare myself to others. It's hard for me to get over things super fast (like bad situations). I've been bullied a few times.. But then there's where my friends come into play. They're always there to support me, they've always helped me. I'm so glad to call them my friends and I don't know what I would do without them.


What I Am Applying For:

● OMGSR Cinnabun
● VR Blue Balloon Dog
● VR Sunback

My passion? Well, if you asked two months ago I would have said it was Fashion Design. That was until my parent told me to do something practical, something that I could achieve in my dead end town. I remember that it all started because of my love for clothes. I always wanted to dress up and had all these ideas of outfits. I even dressed up my cousins! I wanted to have a line of beautiful dresses in gorgeous fabrics. But now, maybe I'll do what everyone tells me to, a lawyer. They always say that I have to grades for it and that I could argue with a fence post. Maybe that is something I'm supposed to do.

All I know is that my passion is still up for grabs, and I wonder what will reign it in and capture my attention. I mean, I'm still in school so I've got plenty of time. I'll figure it out eventually. Will it be entertainment? Maybe it will be a design career of some sort? I want to be known. I want to get out of my small town and live in the big city. I want to be somewhere I can have a fresh start and no one can tell me that my passion isn't practical. Hey! Maybe my passion is to go on my own adventure?
Who knows!


Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity.It's really something amazing for you to do.

Applying for:
1. |Store Pets| - I love store pets, even though some of them can be quite interesting.
2. Patchwork Dog - This one is just plain adorable!
3. |Zodiacs| - It has been my dream since I first found CS in 2014 to complete a set of these, and this would give me a great leap on my goal.

It's a little cliche, writing about writing. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to write about this topic but I always love to think where I came from and how far I've come so might as well give it a shot?

I started writing a little over six years ago, back when I was still in middle school yikes! Up until that point, I wasn't too fond of writing other than to get a good essay grade and go on my merry way. Plus at the time my English teacher hated me. But she taught me, along with my class some neat tricks to writing and I thought, hey maybe I should try writing something myself.

I was inspired by Percy Jackson at the time, having just finished the first series months before. One cringy story, a notebook and a whole bunch of accidental extra credit later, I posted my first story on fanfiction.net.

Unfortunately or not, the story was taken down because I am horrible and didn't want to see my failed attempted at writing a story. I still have the composition notebook where I took pen to paper and wrote it, in that terrible barely legible handwriting. Every once in a while, I do reread it and think wow, I came from this.

Fast forward to I want to say 2013, I went over to Wattpad, and I was in this stupidly large fandom, wanted to write my story and I did. I winged it for the first 20ish chapters before someone took notice. An anonymous person entered me into a contest where everyone voted which was their favorite undiscovered author was. I got third place. My story and my other works blew up in a way that I never knew possible. I had always known I was a decent writer, did particularly well with dialogue but never actually believed I was good enough. I ended up being entered again in the contest and won second in Popular authors. It blew my mind and to be honest, I cried.

I wanted to better my writing, and I started doing challenges like writing every day for a month or write a 16K word one shot with a single sentence prompt. I finished three stories in the year 2015 and a whole lot of drabbles that I'm still super proud of today. That started me on this blazing trail that I'm on now, where I'd like to think I'm doing well for myself regarding creating ideas and putting out new content for people to read, it's odd it truly is, but I like it.

And fast forward to today, I further my writing and put myself out there more on Archive Of Our Own and Tumblr, but Ao3 is better in my eyes anyway. : )

Of course, there have been a couple of bad times where people have accused me of stealing ideas, which is stupid because I was writing something totally cliche and overdone at the time but it still hurt. Times where it would take months to get just a single comment or like, I wanted to give up. My parents never supported my writing, still don't today, but I kept going.

And there have been great times like I once wrote this Greek Mythology alternate universe for a fandom, and I hated myself for how long it took to write. I never told anyone that but I definitely felt like I could have done better. And this person, bless them, they wrote such a beautiful comment, to which I still read over today and am reminded that people do care. This lovely person has impacted me in a way that they don't know.

Writing is my life; I do it every day whether it's writing a new idea for a story or work diligently on an original book, it's all around me. My family was always known to be super musical, but no one could write. They could draw and sing and do all of these other talents, but I am the family writer. I'm proud of it. Of where I've come from and how I've gotten here. I'm hoping for many more years to come.

1. Clear Eyed Galaxy

3. Cinnabun

The thing i am most passionate about is horse riding and spending time with horses in general. There is something so rewarding that an animal that has the strength too severely injure you wants to be your friend and companion.

Even though its difficult and sometimes it doesn't feel worth it, your horse is able to brighten your mood just by being by your side. Horses are comforting animals as they are so gentle but also do the funnies things that just make you smile to yourself.

When i first started it was nothing more then a hobby but the obsession soon over took my life and before i knew it I was spending as much time with the horses as possible until i was physically exhausted. However i soon hit a point where I felt i wasn't good enough and began to doubt myself which lead to my horse, Marco, to also become scared and he refused to listen to me. Around the same time I witnessed someone fall off my horse which led me to become scared of him.It took a while but eventually i began to regain my confidence and started to become ambitious and try harder and scarier tasks like jumping without reigns and riding in the woods.

One day Marco was being quite jumpy and he bolted with me in the woods, he raced down the track and across the fields causing nine horses to run off with him. I was terrified but not for myself, I was worried Marco would injure himself or someone else. As he approached the fence he tripped causing me to fall off and him kicking me right above my eye. I have had many other accidents along the years that would have made me terrified to continue if it had been a year prior but being around these animals I have learnt to control my emotions no matter how scared i might be.

Its been three years since I started riding and now I have a new horse Bladon who is can be extremely difficult at times, he can be quite aggressive and frustrating but he is my best friend and I love spending time with him. Once he gets over his cautious nature and stress he will become the most loving horse you could ever wish for and im proud that he has chosen me to love.

One thing I'm extremely passionate about is singing. Singing is my life. I train 3 hours a day at singing lessons in hopes of one day achieving a successful singing career. When I first started performing songs at restaurants or bars, I thought no one would care. I expected to be slaving away performing songs of a customers choice. I thought I would never be booked again after I messed up on my piano while singing. But it was fine, I got back up and pretended it never happened. I just practiced piano more.
I thought I would only be able to do the job for so long before needing to leave from being bored out of my mind, but I didn't. I loved the first time I performed on my own. I was in 5th grade, I had landed a solo. My song was "Hakuna Matata". I was so nervous, thoughts zipping through my mind like "this is everyone's favorite song, what if I ruin it for them" and "oh no I'm gonna be to nervous". I almost didn't go onstage, if I hadn't maybe I wouldn't be so passionate today, I'll never know. All I know is that my first solo was fabulous. I sang my heart out, belting the chorus of the song hitting all the notes, and I got a standing ovation.
I started to crave that energy again, so I performed more. Always making sure to end on a high note to get that energy from the crowd. Now, I perform at small venues with 100-200 people in them, and they choose to come to see me. I don't just perform covers anymore either, I have my own songs to perform too. Like Lady Gaga said "I live off the applause". My passion always has and always will be singing.

I am applying for
1. |Store pets| (I try to get store pets as they are always so pretty but I never have proper payment)
2. The sun back
3. The red malk dragon

Hello, my name is Katherine and I love the idea of this writing competition. If I ever quit CS, I think I will do this as well when rehoming my pets!

There are many things that came to mind when I was choosing my topic, but the one that stuck out the most was my latest passion; gardening. I've wanted to garden for a long time but I've only recently had the time and resources to pursue this venture. After reading some articles on bees and what plants are beneficial for them, I went out and finally bought some. I was looking for anything that would attract the bees and I ended up with three kinds; perennial sage, lemon thyme, and bee balm. I was so excited when I started potting them, and once I was done I could hardly wait to see them bloom! I just wanted to stare at them until the flowers finally appeared. Of course that was unrealistic, but within a week or so they appeared to be adjusting just fine in their new pots/environment. My sage has beautiful purple flowers, but I'm still waiting for the bee balm and lemon thyme to bloom. After planting these, I felt even more inspired to pursue planting something else. Since then I have accomplished planting; radishes, corn, potatoes, watermelon, and beets. Just like before I was just wanting to wait for these plants to show any signs of life, checking the ground everyday for about a week. First I saw corn sprouts, then a beet sprout, radishes, and finally a couple watermelon sprouts. Unfortunately none of the potatoes sprouted, and only a couple radishes and one beet, but I can't wait to try again next year, and hopefully with more variety! The main reason I have gotten so involved with gardening isn't just because of the thrill that comes with it, but also the piece of mind I get knowing that what I'm doing could be helping the honey bee population. The bees are so important to every aspect of our lives, and many fail to realize this, but I'm hoping with my small efforts and hopefully the efforts of our generation and future generations, that plant and bee life can thrive once again.

Perhaps this essay includes two passions that can been seen as one.

Thanks for taking the time to read :) And wish you the best of luck & happiness
Lastly, these are things I am applying for:
1. Sunback
2. Orange Cerb
3. 2011 Store Clydesdale

Hi,

People used to tell me, "You can't do this," or, "You can't do that," and it gave me strength knowing that I can prove them wrong, eventually, I surpassed them. Throwing a killer right hook and landing that punch gives you the relief of knowing you can defend yourself, or just making contact with your opponent to see if you can actually hit them. Consequently, you get bruises, punched, kicked, and you also get hurt, however the feeling, the exhilaration, when you realize you're getting better when you practice hard enough.

Yep, you heard it, I am passionate when it comes to Muay Thai, or kickboxing, whichever you prefer. I have achieved, conquered, and conditioned, my way to gain the respect in my gym. Arguably, I am not the preeminent nor unbeatable, however, when it comes to the field I know decent amount of knowledge. Furthermore, I initiated my love for these combat sports six years ago. With no capability of defending myself, my dad made me pursue in the art of fighting. I was hesitant on this, I was flimsy and fragile, settling into this was strenuous, I was weak. Week after week I came in, I exercised my hardest, and finally, I realized how enjoyable it was, I gained muscle and weight, all good, in time I was now considered healthy.

Discovering my calling was stressful, I tried ballet, gymnastics, dancing, and none of them gave me pleasure as much as kickboxing. Personally, I don't want to pursue anything with it, I rather have it be an activity until I find a job that suits me. Although fighting to me is like eating to others, the excessive amounts of energy required to do this is utterly nerve-wrecking; the blows you take in order to learn is extreme.

So, now I am currently still in Muay Thai classes, and I am determined to become better than I already am. I feel accomplished, I am satisfied.

Thank you for reading this, I do hope you join back though. I appreciate the effort into doing this and I am thankful for this opportunity. You will be missed.

<3 Katelyn

All my life I've played softball- whether it was with my friends within the neighborhood, my travel team, or high school team. Not once have I played the game because someones been pushing me to earn something or gain recognition. The adrenaline rushing through me as I make a play, the roar of my team mates cheering each other on, the overall glee you feel when you push through and win a close game; that's what made me fall in love with the sport. It's all about the team- no individual could be the difference between a win and loss. And I love that.

As my senior year of high school looms over me and junioritis has just about finished eating me inside out, it feels as though everyone has been urging me to do something with my talents and go for a college scholarship for softball. I thought it couldn't hurt to do my research and email some coaches.

However, that's the beginning of when my love and passion for the game began to take a turn.

Looking further into it, the recruiting process doesn't truly evaluate you as a person, nor your love of the game. I could argue that they could easily overlook your skill level as well. This isn't an essay about my complaints and dislikes, its just plain truth. Colleges recruit girls from seventh grade to around freshman year. I'm a junior, and I just now decided there's a
possibility I'd want to play. In seventh grade, I didn't even know how to get to my local CVS, let alone know where I wanted to go to college!

Hours of recruiting work has made the intrinsic motivation for the sport I love so much almost seem like a chore. It makes the games seem like an individual evaluation for each girl participating. The stigma behind the "We're all in this together! We're a team!" is completely desecrated through individuals competing for money. It's exhausting.

I just wanted to play my game, and that's what I had decided I was going to do.

My passion returned, and I worked harder than ever to become stronger and better. I never went to college coaches-they came to me. They saw the look in my eyes when I was up to bat. They saw how sincerely I loved my team mates and the game and even my opponents. I had striven to be the best I could be, for nobody but myself and my team mates.

My dream college offered me a full-ride to their school this April. My mom cried so genuinely I couldn't help but join her.

The point of my writing is to tell you that if you're passionate about something, don't focus on the external pressures that are focused only on your skills or height or smarts or whatever sort of stuff that doesn't matter. Don't let them put a number on you- you choose your own destiny and value.

If you want something, and are passionate about it, focus on bettering yourself for yourself and not for the sake of other people.

The rest will come in due time, I can promise you that.



The only thing I think I'd really want is the Sunback, I dont mind about the rest

I'm just a young girl who likes to draw and rp. Not much to me. I'm a good friend though, so you can talk to me whenever you'd like and i'll be here for you.
