When people describe me i usually words like 'kind' and 'smart.' Some people say i am intimidating but that's just because i'm quiet. When they get to know me they change their mind. One schoolmate predicted i would be a critic of some sort. I guess she thought i was overly critical. I try to watch that and make sure to speak up if i have something positive to say. My mom's friend was a hairdresser when i was growing up and she said she disliked cutting my hair so now i make it a point of complimenting and thanking my hairdresser now. An instructor of mine had us do feedback surveys at the end of her course and she said she was scared to see what i would say. I guess i come off as negative and play devil's advocate a lot because i thought that course was excellent and she was a talented instructor. I'm a lot more positive now but it's something i have to keep an eye on.
