$arah Zaman: Impact Wheel

1. Resilience Toolkit

   • Gratitude
     • Living in the 21st Century
       • We live in a world that is very heavily dependent on technology, and we are a lucky generation to be girls and go to school.
     • Familial Sacrifices
       • My parents immigrated from another country just so their children could be girls in a more moderns and less restricted society. This connects back to my values that were given to me by my parents.
   • Wellness
     • Personal Hygine
       • I keep myself well-groomed and cleanse myself regularly for personal refreshment and social acceptance.
     • Humor
       • I try and let off steam by talking to my friends and using somethign that i really enjoy doing into something I use as a Stress relief. This also links back to my possible career choices.

2. Values

   • Perfection
     • From the family and culture I grew up it, making sure everything was perfect as well as your life from a young age was concidred a value and soemthign to be proud of. However, i do not find this something I value but I am raised with it.
   • Passion/Ambition
     • In the family I grew up in, as well as culture it was expected for the children to have goals in life and be expected to follow them. I think this is where my value for this stemmed from. This leads me to my multiple career choices.
   • Respect
     • Something I value very heavily is respect. I think that it is something to be earned not given. There should be a reason why a person should listen to you and give you time because of the way you act and what you do for other. This value also leads into my personal motives.
   • Genuineness
     • I think if you are fake or acting to be like something you are not you are not worth my time, nor do I think you deserve respect (my main value)

3. Interests

   • Sciences
     • Ever since a young age i was taught that to be successful, you had to go into the sciences. That is something that I was taught to pursue.
   • Screenwriting and Film
     • Recently, I have been more interested in the writing and acting aspects of film and it is a field that i am interested into looking more into.
   • Math Classes
     • For ten years, I have been taking math classes outside of school.
   • Theater
     • For the past few years, I have been a part of productions around school and I have performed on stage many times.
   • Comedy
     • Performing on stage and making other laugh, especially about a topic that is important to me is something that would make me happy as a career choice. I think the idea of respect comes back into play because this is a very difficult field to be successful in and being able to achieve in it and have others look up to me is important.
   • South Asian Club
     • I take extreme pride in my background and being a part of this club, as well as the head, I intent to educate others on this culture and break any stereotypes linked to this culture. This also greatly links back to respect.

4. Character traits

   • Communicator
     • I am a confidant individual and I am not afraid to share my ideas. In most cases I will share them whether they are asked for or not. I part of being a strong communicator is being creative in more than one language, which I am as well.
   • Principled
     • I consider myself principled, because I act a lot upon fairness and making sure that everyone is treated the way they should be. I also like to take responsibility for my actions, whether they are good or bad and that is something I think everyone should do.
   • Having Power/ Being Successful
     • I want to be able to make a change but also be known for that change. This also connects back to my value of respect as well as my IB character trait of principled.
   • Humor
     • This seems arbitrary, but something that makes me do what I do everyday is humor. This also links back to one of my wellness techniques as well as a possible career path for me.
