My Suitcase

     In Quiet as well as her TED talk, Susan Cain opened up my mind to a new level. I never before took the time to self-assess my own personality to the extent I did when doing the first blog post.
     I learned about what being ambiverted meant and how easy it would be to identify yourself as an ambivert.  We're all ambiverted, but the time and place of our actions can help clear up a more definite personality type. As I said before, I am somewhere between ambiverted and extroverted. Where exactly? I am not sure and never will have one spot on the personality spectrum.
     The whole idea of bringing a "suitcase" around with you is an idea I never even thought of.

Which items are in your suitcase? 

I have continued to think about that important question, even after the assignment was due. If I could fit little people into my suitcase, I would. The people who have served as mentors, coaches, friends, and teammates would all have their own velvet-lined character mold in my suitcase. My suitcase would probably be just a little beat up, since I keep clothing for a very long time before throwing them out. But, my suitcase would work like a charm. I take care of things that are close to me, so this would be well maintained.  My suitcase would fit me perfectly, and wouldn't be perfect for most people, but I am okay with that.
