Assignment #2 What Do You Love?

Part 1
I interviewed my father to ask him what I was like and what I loved in my primary years of life. My father told me that the first 5 years of my life I was very smart. He said that I would learn thing easily and use to try to analyze things. An example he gave was when I was 2 years old, I would love to pick up the phone and dial numbers to act like I was calling people. He said that he purposely unplugged the cord and left the room and when I wanted to use the phone and discovered that there was no dial tone, I traced the cord so that I could plug it back in. My father also said that during the first five years of my life I was mannerable and well-behaved.
My father told me that when I was little I use to love to stay up late with him and watch movies. I found that funny because I still do the same thing today. He also remember me loving to jump rope outside. What my father thought was unique about me was that I was outgoing and I was just about a friend to everyone I came in contact with.
When I asked my father what he thought I woould grow up to be when I was little, he told me that he thought that I was going to be a lawyer. I found that shocking because I grew older him and my mother was always pushing for me to be a doctor. He said that he thought that only becuase I use to talk a lot when I was little. He said that when we use to go on road trips I was always the one who stayed up late with him and kept him talking while everyone else slept the whole way.

Part 2
When I asked my friends if they could list for me my strengths and weaknesses, it seemed like most of their reponses were similar which made me think a lot. I realized that may I should change some of my ways in order to work on my weaknesses. Some of the feedback that I got back for my weaknesses was that I let people walk over me sometimes, I can be naive sometimes, I don't say what I truly want to say sometimes, I have low self-confidence when I am struggling through life sometimes, and that I let my past hurts and pain interfere with my present sometime. To me all of these go hand in hand and I believe that I should work on these downfalls.
When I asked my friends if they list for me my strengths, they told me that I was strong-minded, kind, dedicated, compassionate, that I have a high tolerance for hardships and pain. I can understand where all of them are coming from, but it also makes me think sometimes if I am too nice since my strengths seems like they somewhat connect to my weaknesses.

Part 3
One activity that I listed during our class activity was about jump roping. I use to enjoy doing that as a little girl in elementary school. The last time I jumped rope was for the first time in a long time sice grade school was my junior year in high school. I almost forgot about the assignment that we were suppose to do something that we haven't done from when we younger this week, and I actually ended up jumping rope with some little kids and my friend Kristen this weekend at a barbeque. I found it funny because I looked like a big kid jumping rope, but I still enjoyed myself all in the same.
