Homework actually inspired me....

This week I was assigned to read and take notes on chapters one and two in my speech class. So far, everything I am reading is pretty common sense and very boring. As I got to chapter two, with my eyes almost completely shut and my hand cramping like crazy, an old saying caught my eye. The book did not say who wrote it but the quote read, "If I tell you who I am, and you don't like who I am, that's all I have to say." I have never heard this before even though its an "old saying" but I really like it. I feel like this quote says so much in so little of words. For me, this is one of those quotes that I read over and over again and still find new meaning from it every time. I feel like for anyone, it makes them think about themselves and who they are to other people. When I first read it, I thought about how I sometimes do or say things to make other people more accepting towards me. Then, it made me think about who I should always try to be; myself. It's hard for me to define myself. I feel like a person is too hard to completely explain. But thanks to this quote, from now on, I'm going to try to be myself around everyone and if they can't accept who I am then I don't need them in my life.
