me mysefl and I
Where shall I start with this tale of "Strengths and Weaknesses"? Since weaknesses are probably my most stellar talent I shall start here. For years I have had the urge to write but never thought I had one single iota of talent in my bones. So I never tried unless forced by a teacher. I believed that there was only one writer in my family, my brother Chris. So I took my role in my family, My brother the writer, my mother the student, my father the genius and I the artist. All in all it was not bad, but I never had a vent for my frustrations or my thoughts and ideas. This carried into my classes; it made me look like somewhat of an artistic dim wit. To further this idea was my participation in sports. Everyone seems to think a jock in generally stupid in comparison to the rest of the world, so I played this part through most of my school career. I was never stupid I was just stuck in the stereotype. It was an easy role. I never studied; I just slid by on the knowledge I gained from half listening in class. So I was a "C" average student when I should have been something a bit more. (Let me tell ya, I regret this immensely.) The only classes I excelled in were the creative classes such as art, shop, photography, and even speech cl
ass. To be honest, speech class changed me forever. In speech, I was yet again forced to "write". Speeches were not meant to be written, but only guided by your notes. This is what I believed and still do today. The teacher however thought that you should write every word you spoke and follow it to the letter. This was where I first started to think in high school. I used this class to springboard my thoughts and get them out there. I was tired of being the stupid jock. So you wanted me to write about my "Strengths and Weaknesses". Well, my grammar is not always the best. I tend to repeat things; I tend to repeat things. (See I tend to go for the goofy puns) I even tend to ramble a whole lot. I never know where to end a paragraph. And last but not least, "But" my comfort word, it has got to be tamed. (These before are my weaknesses). Now my strengths (just look to the right) I always have something to say. I like to question the grammatical rules. I like to write the way I would speak, the way the average person would say it or like to read it. Sometimes what I write even makes some sense, but not much. (There's that "But" again.) I write about nothing but always about something. When I write something and do not sign my work you still know its mine by the way I write, who else would write so badly? If someone does not like my story I am not upset, I know that someone out there in the wild blue trailer parks of the world will like it and as long as someone likes it I know it was worth it. Wait, I would like to end my paragraph but geez, I just cannot figure out how to end it and since this is just a paper to show you my "Strengths and We
