I don't like to brag, honestly. I have to say "honestly" because I am infamous of being a liar, a good one, of course. I tend to be more of a modest character unless spurred on to boast about myself. A negative aspect of my personality is that I tend to act a certain way in order to keep myself hidden from other peoples' judgment. I do things so people can't make assumptions by looking at me. An example of this would be one of my "good" attributes, my modesty. I like to think of modesty as both a good thing and a bad thing. It is good in a way to which it makes you seem like a kind person, yet I enjoy using my modesty to keep aspects about myself unknown. It makes it hard for people to assume what I am good at and what I suck at. I enjoy this. It leaves a big question mark above my head in other people's eyes.
People would probably think my ability to lie without guilt would be a negative trait to have but I think it is a good skill to have. Lying has gotten me out of a bunch of bad situations. Sometimes I find it funny to tell someone a lie about myself and see how they react. Then next week I would tell them the truth and see the reaction on their face. People tell me I’m fun to hang out with. I try to spend all the time I can to have fun. Honestly, school is probably one of my last priorities. I try my best to stay away from school as much as possible. I guess you can call me a slacker. I’m a slacker but an unusual one. I do whatever I can to help my family, friends and strangers. When I have change in my pocket I usually give it to a homeless guy. I’m an atheist too, so you know now that I’m kind at heart and not trying to ensure my path to heaven. Sometimes I think people such as Christians are all living in fear. They fear they will go to hell if they don’t act in a “good” manner. I find some of those people to be sheltered and unexposed to the real world. I see that some Christians only do what they do because they fear God and Hell. I don’t fear anything.
A lot of people call me stupid, and I’m fine with it. It comes to the point where enough people call you a name to where you have no reaction anymore. Like if you eat 100 apples and don’t feel like eating it anymore. I think the physical part of myself makes me useful. I have no known allergies, no surgery, perfect hearing, and 22/20 vision; perfect for the military. Specifically the Air force.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone with a provocative response to this question.
Though I'm not sure anything is resolved in terms of me understanding you, I find this particularly interesting.
Generally, the writing is really sound. In the opening graph, look at the apostrophe in peoples - people's and I think you should say "for being a liar" instead "of."
What would you like to do in the Air Force?
