what are you bad at?

When have you felt the most vulnerable?

[QuirkyCarla]

I know you like English, so maybe you are good at it.  What are you good at?

Yeah, English was my only honors class in high school. I guess I could say my talents are singing and writing, even though I'm highly critical of both my singing and my writing. Nothing is ever good enough for me. I'm also good at coming up with arguments (if given enough time to think them through), even if they're off the wall. My College Writing I professor told me that I was a talented writer and my ideas were "fresh."

Tangent: That same day, I thought she was going to suggest me becoming a writer, but she said, "Have you ever thought of becoming a teacher?" I told her I was considering it, because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do at the time. She told me she thought I'd make a good teacher because I'm very caring...

I miss that woman. She was a sweet elderly woman and the whole class loved her. She was very passionate about writing and generally cared about everyone in the class and their success.

what are you bad at?

A lot of things. Basically, anything that requires coordination and/or balance. I was also horrible at geometry in high school. I just couldn't "get it." Science was never my forte either, though I find some concepts interesting. I'm also horrible at managing my time and getting things done. Of course, I'm horrible at socializing too. Oh, and I can't draw to save my life.

When have you felt the most vulnerable?

That's a tough one. At the moment, I can't think of a time when I was "most vulnerable." I do feel vulnerable a lot though, and I hate it. I always try to hide it.

horrible at socializing? Just expand on everything you talk about, like an English essay.? Drawing is easy, just draw what you see, it make take a while but I can do it.

"That same day, I thought she was going to suggest me becoming a writer...." That does not sound wrong to you??

My teacher was going to suggest I become a writer, but instead she suggested I become a teacher.

I would suggest you leave out what she said, because it sounds redundant.? You already said the same thing before it. I understand how much you liked that teacher, and thus saw the need to repeat yourself for emphasis. It sounds redundant, and you should find another way to make emphasis without sounding redundant.

Does that sound better?

None of what I wrote sounds redundant to me.

Favorite ice cream?

Probably milk chocolate, though I have recently begun to like dark chocolate a lot. I like ice cream sundaes.
