2. Last semester this class helped me with being punctual, organized and detail oriented, I am hoping to continue with that. I am also hoping that I can further define my career goals and begin to actually involve myself with both my hobbies and my career goals.I hope to become more organized and punctual (managing my time better and being on time.) The time tracker we had last semester helped me so much that I searched high and low for a time master agenda this semester.
In my early childhood, I was most fascinated with people's differences, and I learned this by listening to people conversations. I found interest in ease dropping. Yes, I was amazed by the different issues people faced, and how they reacted to those issues, but most of all, just knowing their business.
I recall wanting to be a doctor because I thought to myself; "doctors know everyones business" and I wanted to know 'EVERYTHING' about 'EVERYONE'.
Out of all the 5 senses I was blessed with, I used my ears the most, boy, was I nosy. I know most kids are nosy but I was a different type of nosy! I could've been playing with my toys, watching tele or reading a book, I always ease dropped in adult conversations and, I would fix my ears in on the conversation, while pretending that my undivided attention was on whatever I was doing at the time. Even when I was involved in a conversation I would listen so attentively, that I could repeat the conversation word for word, pause for pause.
Eventually my parents caught on to how nosy I was and they started speaking a different language, and soon enough I understood the language fluently, but they didn't know that until I recently confessed and spoke it to them. LOL.
I never told anyone this, but when I was a kid, I imagined/thought that people were watching me just as I watched the tele. I believed at the time that; just as I watch the tele, people are watching me and people are watching the people that are watching me and on and on, and God got the best view, he watches us all! Because I thought people were watching me, I would put on a show at times. I would just do things that I thought people wanted to see and avoid things that I thought they would dislike viewing. When I saw something on the tele that I thought the people watching me should see, I would act it out! I even payed close attention to my personality and how I wanted my imaginary audience to perceive my character. I didn't want people to see me slouching in my seat, or making a mess when eating etc. So, I made it my priority to be on my best behavior all the time. It's hilarious now when I look back. There is definitely still a part of me that loves putting on a show. In my past adult years I had star roles in all my high school plays from Sophomore to Senior year. I would still love to act but my schedule is so occupied and busy there is almost no time for that! However, I still practice monologues on my own time.
I know many people may think, because I was putting on a show, I really never got to be myself, but believe me, it built my character and THAT character that I played was REALLY who I was/am. My early interest's, like being nosy....could lead to so many career options, health care, law, politics, or some sort of consultant etc. but my childhood talent would lead to an acting career.
