How would you describe yourself as a human being? What quality do you like best in yourself and what do you like least? What quality would you most like to see flourish and which would you like to see wither?" (Bates College)
Have I been trying to avoid this topic? I scroll up and down the blog page looking for a question to answer, and I always skip this one, yet it always stands out. I have been avoiding this question because it requires me to be fully honest with myself. If I describe myself without the honesty, I would probably be writing about someone I want to be and not the true me. I avoided the question because of my ego.
I hate the fact that I avoided the question for so long, and yes I truly admit that my ego does get in the way of my judgment of things. I get into fights because of it, I hold back from doing things I want to do, and it holds me back from being the bigger person. I wish the deflation process of my ego, could be as fast as sticking a pin in a balloon. Sadly, it is not that easy. I have to face a lot of trials and constantly remind myself to let go of it. So far, patience is the only thing I ask for in this process, patience from my friends, family, and myself.
The quality that I personally like about myself is that I am confident. This helps me in so many aspects of life. It helps me make new friends, it helps me to try new things, and it makes me stick out. My one wish is that my confidence does not grow to overconfidence. I do not want to be one of those people who embarrass themselves. I want it to help me positively in life in making even more friends, and helping me keep them.
When I look back at the last two years, many of the lessons I have learned have been from Woodstock. I hope in college, a new environment, I will learn even more lessons that will help me positively grow as a person.
