LOL Slings and shanny.
Hmmm... My marker event...
5 yrs ago, I was attending a course for work during the summer. I was never the fittest one around and I was carrying some 60-70 pounds worth of equipment and it was not sitting on my back properly and was very uncomfortable.
As we (the course) were going up this long uphill road, I was falling behind and soon, I was some 500m behind my course.
I had one of the instructors stay with me and he was encouraging me to not to give up and try harder. So I got mad at myself for failing to use my equipment properly and lagging behind. So I started to run, and eventually, I caught up to my mates (and they were pretty surprised)
Mind you, my feet were hamburgers for a while and my back was pretty damn sore, but I learned something about myself. You can break my body, but not my will.

Not the biggest marker point, and not the only, but one that is very obvious and pertinent to my personality.
Before grade 6, I was the quietest, shyest little girl you could ever meet. I was soft spoken, and made every attempt to be out of the attention of anyone around me. I would even hide behind my mother like a scared puppy.
But when I got to grade 6, I had an experience that completely changed that.
I was sitting at my desk in class, listening to the teacher, when she called on me to answer a question. I passively replied in a low, soft whisper. The teacher asked me to repeat myself about 3 times, at which point... she snapped.
"HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK ANYONE CAN HEAR YOU WHEN YOU WHISPER LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME?? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? BE A LITTLE GHOST?? SPEAK UP SO WE CAN HEAR YOU!! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ASKING YOU TO REPEAT YOURSELF"
She continued to rip into me, and bellow at me for being too quiet and trying to hide myself in the corner. She made me the center of attention. Everyone was staring at me, and everyone was now expecting me to speak up and repeat what I had said for everyone to hear.
After that day, I retreated from my passive, quiet, shy self and become louder, and more out-spoken. I decided that there was no shame in being heard. It only progressed from there.
I have since received 2 awards for public speaking, and am often thought of as the bold and brave "social butterfly"; often loud, and not a bashful drop of blood left in me.
Even to this day, I still don't know whether I resent what she did, or if I am grateful. |
You, quiet? Now THAT is hard to believe !
