I was reading a post on iportion’s blog which I read regularly. It got me thinking….who am I?
In my high school English class,we were required to write a paper about ourselves. My paper was titled, “The Facets of My Life”. It’s strange I can remember that while forgetting things that happened yesterday.
I am still all those things today, I was 38 years ago. I am a daughter. (Roles have changed…I now care for my mom) I am a student. (learned from parents and books when young, learning more now through life application/observation) I am a teacher. (As a child I taught acrobats to kids I babysat. I also tutored. As an adult, I have taught my children intangible values and their abc’s. I’ve taught large and small classes for my company.) I am a counselor. (As a child, I’d try to make a friend feel better when their feelings got hurt or when the block bully would start a fight. As an adult, I have my formal education in this field. I still deal with people and their feelings.)I am a traveler.(As a child, I went on vacation every year with my parents. As an adult, I still go on vacation every year. The only difference….I get to pick the place and time.)I am a knitter. (A neighbor taught me when I was about 6. I still knit today.)
There are so many facets to my life. It’s like the light that passes through the prisms in a diamond. Always changing…but still the same.
