Because Reasons...

To my friends and family Dianna is my name. It is nothing but something to call me. It is three syllables with the last two being said faster than the first. It is said as though it requires courage to say: hesitant at first and then faster so people won't notice.  To me a Dianna is a curious specimen of paradoxes. A Dianna will strive to be something she is not while all the same staying true to herself. A Dianna will put painstaking effort into all that she does, all the while saying that she doesn't care. A Dianna will never admit that she's wrong while at the same time, never insist that she's right. A Dianna will say that she wants a soapbox from which to shout her ideas while staring blankly at the'publish' button. A Dianna will start to apologize for mistakes she hasn't  made.  My name should rather be "cognitive dissonance".

Most people are really good at something. Most poeople use that in some kind of job in their future. For example, if you have a great understanding of science, you may become a scientist. Most people could use their talents in a job in a school.   My issue is that I only seem to have an extensive knowledge of my mind, my values, and how things relate to me.  Where is that going to get me? Well, I know that I would make an awful teacher. I am terrible at explaining things.  Student: Why do we have two political parties in this country? Me: Because reasons... I suppose I would be a decent social worker because I am very perceptive. I am very good at noticing things about people and then analyzing what they mean. That is how I understand myself.  Maybe graduation won't be the last time I see my middle school.     -Dianna
