I am being myself always, an eternal optimist of the human spirit! I can claim and list many things I think I am, but in the end, I am only “what you see.” No matter my credentials I can list for undergraduate and graduate GPA’s during college or writing experiences ranging from formal (independent studies and thesis) to informal (“Facebook’s” Eternal Optimism), you still determine what any of “it” means to you. How does one measure a person’s worth without a perspective of the individual? How does one show that perspective’s accuracy without actions? Then the following question is how to measure those actions, is it done quantitatively or qualitatively? All in all, we endure different challenges during our journey known as life. Our challenges cannot be compared against each other’s because we differ in what we do and will tolerate. We have different “threshold levels,” yet I am you and you are me, human. We share the same characteristics, but our displays of them are different. We all have love, happiness, hope, motivation, and drive to name a small few of the innate traits we share. I believe in “The eternal strife of a positive perspective despite all things, with continual effort to achieve it (E.O).”
