Eyes,
Growing up, my eyes always seemed to be the focal point of my appearance. My parents would always take pride in the deep blue color which has since faded, but the old color of them contributed greatly to my childhood and what people though of me.
Brains,
I was always a straight A student. In grade school I would never get rewards like my friends would for good grades, but I also never worked for them. In middle school though that stopped. I became careless and I stopped doing homework because I believed I had better things to do. I believe in doing so I lost out on a lot of things that I would know and that I want to know. Although I am finding that high school taught me a valuable lesson, being I should do my homework or i’ll fail.
Personality,
My father raised me to be friendly and helpful whenever possible. He always valued friends and would put them before everything but family. He taught me to never leave anyone in a bad situation when you have the ability to help and to do as much for my fellow man as I possibly could. He would always demonstrate this by helping the neighbors with their cars (he was a mechanic) or cutting the grass when they were out of town or helping with other various tasks and chores. Through his demonstrations I really got a first hand look on everyone’s reactions to his kindness because he would always drag me along and I loved the happiness that his help brought people. Everyone seemed to appreciate the things he would do and I always appreciated that. Today I try to do the same thing. I try to be as helpful as possible to my friends and family because I believe it’s right and I think it never hurts to be nice.
Heya, Zack.
ReplyDeleteInteresting exploration. I'm interested though, in the impact that your physicality--your physical appearance--has had on your interactions.
Now that we're getting further into the semester, I want you to start really *thinking* about the words you put on the page. Look at this line, " I believe in doing so I lost out on a lot of things that I would know and that I want to know." What do you mean by "in doing"? I need some clarity there--reread the blogs before you post 'em. Will help with issues of comprehension n' cohesion!
