For my experiment I chose to act differently for a day. Normally I am upbeat, kind, and positive but on this certain day, I was sluggish, mopey, snappy, and occasionally straight up rude. I felt bad doing this to some people but with others it was hard not to laugh. One time is made a snarky comment to one of my friends and usually she would have ignored it but apperently she was really annoyed with me and went haywire on me. It was honestly the hardest thing not to laugh and at the same time cry. As I was watching how my peers acted towards me I realized two things: they were surprised and cautious but they also kept their distance from me. Many people asked if I was okay and that I was feeling well. Some tried to be funny and ask if it "that time if the month again". Others just tried to avoid me, probably hoping that this "phase" would be over soon. I would have to say that I more surprised by my reaction than my peers reactions. What shocked me was how easy it was to make comebacks and act the complete opposite of my usual self. It was definetly fun but I don't think I'll ever try something like that again.

My Quote
My quote that I thought represented me was: Be patient. I will eventually do or say something important.
I chose this quote for a couple of different reasons. One of them being that it made me laugh. Or how it kind of sounded sassy and had some attitude. But the main reason was what I got or understood from it. Which was this: I know that everything I do isn't important or special in any way but I will have my moments when I shine and when I do it will be extraordinary. I believe the quote represents me because it reminds me that even though many people expect certain things out me and for me to amazing all the time, or get everything right, I don't have to be because it just isn't my moment to be amazing or perfect. But my moment will come sometime sooner or later and when it does, people will remember me by it. If I lived by this quote everyday of my life I would have a better peace of mind about things and I wouldn't strive everyday to be the best person in class, home, or any place else. I also think my choices might be better because I would always have in mind that I may or may not do something amazing today and I just need to let the opportunity to present itself. That being said, I may keep waiting for that moment to happen and never take a moment to be amazing.
