Who do I think I am?
I think a human is multifarious. How can one choose between one or two categories when they have been designed to take on multitudinous tasks? I know I am an athlete because I chose to be one when I joined the cross county team. Yet anyone can be an athlete if they set their mind to it. I think it's quite conspicuous I am a Brain considering I am in an honors class as I write this and in the top ten percent of my class. I know I am a basket-case, where I am super crazy, fun loving, and I make weird faces at random strangers. Some people put a lot of demarcation between themselves and me because of that, but I don't really mind what people think if I don't actually know them. I am a princess where I see a sublime beauty in everything. My parents love me and never forsake me, making me realize I am so lucky and rich in the eyes of others. Finally, I am a criminal. I have made mistakes trying to find my way through the labyrinth of questions and answers. I have excavated a hole for myself and just barely climbed out of it before it collapsed. How can I choose just one or two categories when I am all of them? How can anyone stereotype anyone when they themselves could easily make themselves just that with a single decision?
