I have a friend who is overly proud of being a left 'handie' she has this notion that you should never fix people when they are inclined to be the way they are, which I concur with. I have no desire to fix anyone. European imperialists introduced the idea that there was something sinister about left handed people and so for several years communities in Africa have tried to fix all the 'sinisterees'. Why am I talking about this? aha, its been seven days and I am more aware of who I am than I was seven days ago. As I think of the profession I want to pursue am, I know that I want a profession where I have space to make a diversity of contributions. I do not want to be stuck behind a desk, or be limited to a specific area to execute what I have to offer. I want to be a teacher, lawyer, writer, researcher, wife, mother,sister,friend and lover. All these I will be. And so as I get into the next days and ask myself what I want? My decisions and goals in the next few days will determine where I will be in the next six months to a year.The decisions I made 6 months ago have determined where I am today. There is indeed a pattern.
After doing the left/ right brain exercise I know why am not that big on expressing emotions, and why dealing with numbers comes easy for me. I guess it does have some truth to it.
