If you missed it, here is the explanation of this assignment.
Some ideas my closest friends have are true, but the content in this post is probably unknown to all. Like the stereotype says, I can be shy at times, especially when meeting strangers. Once I feel comfortable though, I am completely an open book. This video demonstrates what kind of thoughts are going through my head, 24/7:
I often reflect on my own identity, so in the past I’ve taken numerous personality tests. This website uses a Myers-Briggs type assessment in order to achieve accurate results. For some miraculous reason, I receive different outcomes each time, but always from one category: the “Diplomats”.
I took the test once again just several days ago. This is the first time I have ever gotten anything related to the word “extraverted”, so this is a fantastic breakthrough.
I would not call myself an activist, but I try my best. As an introvert (well, most of the time anyway) and idealist, I have that one dream most individuals will adopt at some point in their life, in one way or another: to change the world. I frequently visit websites like this and like that, to create change while sitting in my safe comfort zone.

After reading To Kill a Mockingbird, I believed the main theme was all about perspective, and that the author used racism as one way to emphasize her point. However, after intensively studying the Sparknotes website in preparation for an in-class essay, I realized there was more depth to that book than I thought. I should have known from the last response question (analysis), but nothing made sense until I finally read those notes.
Instantly, I connected the book’s lessons with my own personal experiences.
These conversations are at least two years old. Now I completely understand what my friend meant when she said I was too innocent. According to Sparknotes, Atticus believes that you can keep your faith in humanity, as all people are pretty nice “once you finally see them” (Lee 376).
Believe it or not, I wrote that sometime in Grade 8. Reading it again 2 years later, I had completely forgotten about these values of mine, which makes me question whether I am a mockingbird.
