i'm me.

sometimes i get annoyed.
i think in general,
i'm pretty good at playing things off and letting things roll off my back.
i'm good at joking, and taking jokes.

but sometimes,
after so long, i just don't find jokes funny anymore.

like sometimes i feel like people think i'm dumb because i'm not majoring in medicine, science, math, or law.


i didn't get a 30 on my ACT,
in fact, i didn't do nearly as well as i hoped i would.

i never had a 4.0 in high school,
even if i came sooooo close.

i didn't learn much in math, and i considered myself lucky to have male teachers that gave me good grades because i was nice to them, and never caused problems.

i wasn't a sterling scholar.

but you know what,
i think i'm pretty smart.

i know a lot about many things.

i know a lot about people.
i know how to make friends, and make others feel loved.
i know how to be respectful of others,
and i know how to appreciate people.

i am good at english.
i have always been in the top of my english classes,
and i know a lot about poetry.

i'm good at science.
i was offered many science scholarships,
although i don't have a passion for science.
i don't love it.

 why would i do something i don't love?

i love kids.
i know how to make children feel comfortable.
i want to make a difference in their lives.
i want to be with them every day, and inspire them to do
well
in life.

 

i think i'm smart.
i think i know a lot about myself.
a lot of people don't know that much about themselves,
but i do.
i'm smart when it comes to
ME.


sometimes i get annoyed when people underestimate my abilities or talents.

just because i like to joke around,
doesn't mean i always like to be considered "the joke."

these are my ramblings today.

mood: a little bugged. but feeling empowered.
i know that i have so much to offer this world.
and i will.
