An Idea that Rocks! (groan)
By upton | January 30, 2009
My sixth-grade teacher had this cool little presentation at the end of the year where she painted a rock for each of her students. She put a word, just one word, to describe us on each rock. It was obvious that she had put a lot of time and artistry into these, and it made me feel important that she would take her time to do this for us. The word she chose for me was ‘initiative.’ I had never thought of myself as someone with lots of initiative. I have no idea why she chose this for me. But since, I have found lots of ways that I take initiative, and have had to take initiative to get things I want (a better roommate, online classes, a different apartment). She probably doesn’t know I still have that rock. I should tell her if I see her at the library.
