One Hundred and Ninety:  “Brunette Ambition”

Sometimes I just don’t understand the world.  I don’t understand what’s going on, or why people are so cruel to eachother, but for the most part I really just don’t understand taking things for granted or being ignorant.  Maybe I’m biased, but why doesn’t everyone just look at people and consider them others and give them merit for what they do?

When I was in twelfth grade I directed a play for my final year’s drama class.  Halfway through the term the cast aked me for feedback and so I wrote each member a heartfelt letter describing their positives onstage and where they could improve.  Suggestions and praise,so that they would feel like a part of the team but also give them places and pieces to work on.  Each member came up to me the next day thanking me for their notes and I saw an improvement within the week. 

It’s not that every single person has things that are good or things that need improvement, but I think people work better together as a team but also under leadership when given something to work off of.  Given what they do well and what they can do, and I work that way.  I strive to challenge the challenge that I am faced with, and I enjoy the challenge.  Sometimes critizism is hard to take, trust me I know, but I have learned time after time of being under the magnifying glass that it is good to be given advice, to be suggested at, to be picked at, when working with a team.  It is the way to improve, in my opinion.

And strive.  What a great word.  I love the idea of helping people attain goals or improve skills by challenging them,  I love my job because I do not teach but ecourage and challenge.  All I want in life is to be happy and challenged, it’s a great goal to strive towards.
