What I might possibly have a chance of being good at.

WARNING: FULL OF DISGUSTING ERRORS. THIS IS ONLY A VERY, VERY ROUGH DRAFT!!

By me.

You see, this is an assignment. There's a special place in my heart dedicated for these kinds of assignments, burning with hatred and disdane. Assignments where I'm forced to write about myself, or tell my best qualities or what I'm good at... They're the worst.

I mean, I understand that the focus is to bring out the best in your student, to learn more about them and to incorperate the things that they know into the assignment, thus making it easier for them to fall into writing.

But that's not how it works for me.

It simply becomes harder. Writing about myself in assignments, especially ones where I have to tell my best traits and the like, absolutely terrify me. Maybe people with great self esteem CAN write abou themselves, and they feel good enough about themselves that they know for sure what they're good at. Maybe they've always had their "soul searching" and know exactly what they're aiming for, and thus have prepared themselves for said profession. But, me? I'm not.

I don't know these things; what I'm good at, what my best traits are, what I might possibly have a chance of being good at. They're all mysteries to me. I feel like I'm waiting for my world changing moment that puts me on the arroew straight path to success and I end up showing my true colors and shining above the rest and everyone finally seeing how amazing I am. Buuut, that's not going to happen, is it?

The reason I' mwriting a blog on this is because I've always learned things about myself by writing it all out. When I have am issue or an emotion that was simply crowded by events in my mind, writing out the string of emotions as they come, it always helps me. Even now, I'm doing that, unrelenting, and that's why my grammer's so bad. I'm just typing what comes to mind, rarely stopping to fix my mistakes just incase I have a mental breakthrough and I finally figure this out.

Because, come on! I'm pretty much in uni by now, and I still don't know this stuff. I thought it would all be figured out by now, but it's not. It's so fruststraing.

But class it over. I normally go back and fix my mistakes, but I don't have time.

Later Days.

What I usually do is this. I have a totally narcissistic side of me that thinks I'm great at everything and if I'm not it's due to someone else.

I generally keep that side in check.
I completely dread having to do things in which I have to remark on the things I'm great at.

One because I don't want people to think I'm full of myself, and two because I have that whole thing where I berate myself for not doing perfect on things I know I'm good at.

This is where narcissistic side comes into play. It knows what I'm good at whether I do or not. So I just let that side leak out a bit to make me swell with pride and write down what I'm good at.

What you're good at is listening, just going for things, you catch on fast, you learn fast, and you have a great literary sense.

At least, from what I've gathered/ can remember from your blog from the beginning to now.
