Hello! My name is Aaron Burr and my friend (Alexander H.) and I play chess a lot (I beat him constantly). My goal by April of this year was to be 1100 in rapid (I set this goal when I was 900 in Janurary/Feburary), which I achieved March 5th, "and so now my goal for the end of the year is to be 1200 in rapid, maybe even 1250 if possible. Wish me luck! ;D"
Update (8/25/23): I have finally achieved my goal. I am now the proud owner of 1250+ rapid rating, as well as 1150 blitz and 1400 bullet rating. To get to 1250 took some pretty difficult losses, some sad tilt days, and a lot of tactics. I'm sure the road ahead is no easy feat, but I believe that I will conquer the lands of 1300 and 1400 rapid. So my new goal by the end of 2023 is to be 1350-1400 rapid rating, 1250 blitz rating, and a whopping 1550 bullet rating. I believe!!! ;D
Edit (for the second time): I AM NOW 1300+ RAPID!!! I am very excited to see what the future holds for me!!
Edit (again): I have reached not only 1550 bullet but 1600 bullet!! I am offically in the 99% for bullet!! ;D
Also, I know 10 things about you.
1. You are reading this.
2. You are human (hopefully anyway)
3. You can't say the letter "p" without separating your lips.
4. You just attempted to do it.
6. You are laughing at yourself.
7. You have a smile on your face, and you skipped number 5.
8. You just checked to see if there was a number 5.
9. You laugh at this because you fell for it and everyone else did too.
10. You feel the sudden urge to copy and paste this on your account.

I found this on someone's bio and I found it funny so I put it on mine (after a little editing ;P )

"Eventually, I hope to attend physical chess tournaments to see what it's like, and one of my friends offered to drive me there. Wish me luck (again)!"
Update (8/25/2023): I will begin trying out physical chess tournaments sometime next month hopefully. I'm not sure how well I'll do, seeing as how I'm new to all of it, and most people there are rated 1500+, but I'll try my best.
Quotes I like:
"If you ever are given the choice between me and another person, choose the other person because you already lost me at the choice."
"Any fool can be happy. It takes a person with an open heart to make beauty out of what makes us weep."
"Not all who wander are lost."
"Still water runs deep."
