I can honestly say that Harry Potter has been one of the strongest forces that has defined who I am. My philosophy is to live my life in such a way that if I were to be placed under the Sorting Hat, it would bellow out "Gryffindor!" I strive to embody the values of the house - seemingly boundless courage in the face of great odds and fierce loyalty to those I love, but it hasn't always been easy for me since my nature is to be more shy and reserved. Still, Harry Potter has inspired me on many, many occasions to break out of my shyness, to combat bullying, littering, gossip, and sexual harrassment and to do what is right. I'm 19 now, and I'm not afraid to admit that I quite frequently ask myself: "What would Harry do?" He never steers me wrong.
