Someone once said, “Live in such a way that if anyone should speak badly of you no one would believe it.” Simran has always tried to live by this quote. She is a very conservative young girl at first, but once befriended she breaks out of her shell and becomes vibrant and fearless. Some may even describe her as psychotic. One of her many passions is swimming. She loves how during a swim she can lay on her back and just block out the world, diminished noise just leaves her with her thoughts. It’s like a bird flying high above the earth who can see everything yet not be apart of it. Another activity she is really enthusiastic about is a traditional dance called Bhangra. The feeling of the beat pulsing through her body is the most indescribable feeling. Her friends and family characterize her as a trustworthy, naive and very humorous person. Her complex personality is a Rubik’s cube. She has many different sides and is very hard to solve but is truly worth the time. Simran loves and cherishes her massive and sometimes dysfunctional family. Her ancestors come from a really quiet, humble village in India, where poverty is a grave issue. It taught her to really appreciate every little thing she has. An extensive lesson her parents always taught her is if she never gives up and always works towards her goals there is nothing that can stop her from succeeding.
