Is this the same JW religion to which I once beonged?
This almost sounds like a teenager who has done a CA part promoting aspiring to attend college.
-----------------------------------
My name is Michelle. I am a junior at Murry Bergtraum High School. My major is Accounting. When I graduate in the summer of 2000 I will attend a four year college and continue pursuing my accounting career. Accounting displays one of my 12 basic qualities of my "genius". That is joy. I have a joy of learning about how to manage money in the business world. My class work for accounting can prove it. From the time I started school, as far as I can remember, I enjoyed learning about mathematics. That was my most productive field in school. The beauty of math was great. When time came for me to choose a career in high school, accounting jumped off the sheets at me. The joy I had before became greater.
The genius of wonder also came out. I wondered what the course would be like and couldn't wait to pursue it. However I have heard some who said as you grow older your goal in life may change many times. Well if mine happens to change many times I hope it ends back up at accounting. When I am a fully equipped, well trained accountant I would like to use my skills to help out the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society at Bethel if I can be of use. At present I seem to be falling in my math skills. I hope it is not because of my genius of joy dying down. So it is also my goal to pay more attention now before it is to late.
Accounting also brings out the genius of wisdom in me. In the Webster's New World Dictionary wisdom is define as learning; knowledge; erudition. In accounting I have learned the basic steps to managing a business. I have knowledge of how the basic accounting equation work. My wisdom in accounting is not the best there is, because there is always someone better than you, but it is acceptable. My goal now is to increase in wisdom with my accounting skills.
My curiosity of accounting is been answered. Curiosity is defined as a desire to learn or know. I have a desire to know and learn about accounting and Bergtraum is fulfilling it. My first accounting teacher in my junior year is Mrs. Sobel. My reason for mentioning her name is because she is such a good teacher for accounting. She fully explains things in a way I am able to understand. The best thing I can ask for in a teacher is to explain so that I could understand. Mrs. Sobel is doing her job nicely! I really appreciate this because she is teaching accounting my major in life.
The genius of playfulness is shown in my accounting skills. I play around with number to find an estimate in things. In accounting I learned that large business have to make an estimate when it comes to the Allowance Method. I choose not to explain the Method now because this is not class. When you find this estimate you have to play with numbers to find out how much you will not receive from customers. In this way my genius, playfulness, is shown. (?)
It was hard for me to find creativity, another genius, in me. I can not draw, at least thats what people tell me. Nor can I not paint. However I found that my ability to write short stories is part of my creative genius. When I am at home, usually in the summer when there is nothing to do, I would sit in my room and create little stories of my own. Maybe someday I will publish it. I really don't know how good they may be because every time I ask someone in my family to read it they turn it down. So I have no idea how someone will react to my stories. This, however does not stop me from increasing my creative skills in write.
I believe my genius of humor is hereditary. At least that's what everyone tells me. I have six brothers and sisters and each one of us as that humor. When ever we have company over we make jokes and have our company laughing until it hurts. Our sense of humor cause those we come in contact with to want to be around us more. This is why we gain more friends then losing them. Another reason why I say my humor is hereditary is because my parents make others laugh too! You may say "everyone has the ability to make others laugh." However they do not do it in the same manner of speaking so to speak. If there is one thing I am grateful for it is the ability to make people laugh unlike some others. Do not get me wrong though. I know there is always someone funnier than me.
My genius of flexibility is one of my most important genius of all. Being one of Jehovah's Witnesses in school, working, preparing for college, and preparing to step into the real world takes time. Precious time that is. However, serving Jehovah God comes first and everything else revolves around it. To keep up with time I have to work with a schedule. This schedule must be met or I will fall behind. Falling behind is never something anyone would want to do because everything will mess up and getting things back to normal is much harder to do. Flexibility is needed to succeed!
I have a really bad case of sensitivity towards others. My sensitivity level is so high that people often take advantage of it. Someone can hit their leg on a table and it may not even hurt but I will feel sorry for them in a second. My sensitivity is what caused me to make friends with a girl who everyone picked on in junior high. I felt sorry for the way everyone treated her so being that most of them looked up to me I would try and make them see how foolish it was to do what they were doing. One reason I am happy I don't have a boyfriend right now is because if he found out how sensitive I am he could use it to do evil. Therefore my goal right now is to work on not letting my sensitivity get in the way of how people treat me. Right now I am learning a lesson from my sensitivity and the way people in general is treating me.
My sense of imagination is at a high level for me right now. Every day I take time to imagine my future and what it would be like. I am less than two years away from graduating high school. When I do I plan to go to a four year college for accounting. I am not sure which college I want to go to yet but I am thinking about NYU. I imagine what it would be like to attend college and get a start on my career. My imagination also makes me work harder.
My genius of inventiveness is not one of the best. Sometimes I may think of things to invent but some where down the road they are already invented. Once in a blue moon I may think of some thing to invent that may have not been done yet. However I never make use of it. I let it fade in the back of my mind for someone else to think of. Maybe one day I will take a second step with one of my inventions. But for now I am not going to tell you what some of them are because you may steal it.
My 12th and final genius is vitality. Vitality means the power to go on living. To tell the truth I did not knew what vitality meant until I looked it up. When I found out what it means I immediately know that was me. Everyday I am attacked with new problems. Some are good problems but the other 80% are killers. However I have the ability to over come most of them. I have that ability to go on living. I have the genius of vitality. But I don't do it on my own. As mentioned be for, with my genius of flexibility, I don't do it on my own. I have help when needed from the Grand Creator. That is what makes life worth living.
That is what makes my genius of vitality alone with all the other eleven.
