What are you? What were you?

Oh, and yeah, I can be an arrogant asshole. One of my many traits.

What am I? I am a human, brother, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and relative, all in a family sense. I am a friend, one who looks out for others. I'm an employee, and due to my job I am also an advocate, looking out for children with special needs. I'm a man with ambition and goals. I am out to get what I want and rightfully deserve. Most of all, hopefully someday I will be someone who was able to do something great in their lives, something that will leave a mark of recognition in society. Hopefully a good mark too.

What was I? I think at one point, I was a introvert. I disliked talking to people. I was terrible at addressing a whole group, I despised it. When I started working more and realizing how good I am at what I do and that I could get rewarded for it, I left my shell. I do like people, but at one point I was not a talker. When I started working at my next job, I got to work with children. I realized how upfront and innocent they are and how much they can adore someone, anyone, should that person fight their inhibitons of shunning and ignoring someone who seems different from most. I feel like in a way I could relate to them because I still carried that honesty and innocence around with me as well, and by helping others, I was able to help myself with confidence in my own abilities even further. I think through it all, I am still a good person, but I have been more of a kinder person overall when I was in a young age. I believe that everyone gets a little meaner over the years though. Things happen and there is only so many times one can take of being screwed over before becoming bitter and jaded towards the world. Such is the tragedy of growth and maturity, to see the otherside in a more clear manner. One could not wait to grow up and become an adult, but when it comes to that time, looking back on the early days seemed much more pleasant.

EDIT: and since Govinda posted a youtube video of what she is, I'll do the same with this one.

Jeez, sorry. I wasn't trying to be a mod, or trying to be presumptuous, or anything like that. It was more of a post to somewhat point out that responses to this thread should be more detailed. I guess I should have just said what I meant, instead of trying to be clever with a subliminal psychological suggestion. I'm new here, but I can learn. I'll be more direct next time, or use the report button.

If you have a concern of that nature, report the posts instead of posting about it. It's the exclamation point at the bottom of posts. Thank you.

Okay, thanks. I'll remember to do that next time.

And now, I shall stop with the derailment posts.

ON WITH THE TOPIC AT HAND!
