I love variety, creativity and open-mindedness. I like learning about other cultures, seeing how different people view the world, what they believe. I work in a power plant, which has been an eye opener for me. Not only have I learned a ton, but I've gotten to know a whole lot more about rural Georgia and people from the country in general than I ever would have imagined...and I've learned about working with contractors and VPs alike.

Although I'm physically short, I think my social growth is more stunted than anything. Didn't have much of a social life in high school. Partly because I hated the 20 questions game my parents played (looking after me, I know) anytime I wanted to go anywhere, and partly because I didn't find too many people I felt like I hit it off with...except for a couple of guys who like sci-fi and the military...and I certainly didn't want to go through the parental hassle of hanging with them after school... Most of my good friends over the years have been several years older than me. At Georgia Tech, there wasn't much time to be social, so now I'm trying to get to know people, try not to be so uptight, and trying to just find a crowd I feel like I can hang out with and feel comfortable...and not bored...

So I'm growing emotionally and professionally. I love more now that I could have imagined, and that love makes me comfortable with thoughts that just a year ago would have had me crying hysterically in a corner... I love who I am, but sometimes I wish I came with an owner's manual! I'm growing in responsibilities at work, and at the same time that I'm a little tense and overwhelmed trying to figure things out, I'm also growing in confidence as I accomplish major projects and learn first hand what I'm capable of doing. I'm slowly becoming more comfortable with other people, but still heavily fighting the urge to be very guarded and solitary.
