Assignments

I’m apparently the go to gal when the kids’ of my friends have homework and they can’t answer them. I solve the problem if it’s mathematical or logic related. I search the Net for information regarding an obscure object, person or event for a report. I once helped a child create a diorama because her mom was sick and we (take note of the pronoun) got a grade 98 for our efforts.

But when somebody needs me to be a resource speaker or needs me to be interviewed as an expert, that’s where I draw the line. You know me — I’d rather work in the background and not be the star. So I just introduced them to another friend who can be more helpful than me.

Shy may be one of the last adjectives that can used in describing me but I am, well, sort of. A few would say I’m good in public speaking. I once hosted an event in a hotel with an audience of around 300 —- but that was a favor for a friend in dire need (I wasn’t also in my right mind when I acquiesced) and it was ages ago. Now the spotlight scare the living daylights out of me. I’d rather be incognito, the wind beneath someone’s wings, someone who works behind the scenes.

But who know’s? I may revert back to my gregarious personality in my early 20s. Naaahh! While revival may be hip nowadays, some things are best left in the past.
