I amIn Awakening Genius by:Thomas Armstrong say every student is a genius.I don't think I'm a genius, but maybe I am and I just don't know. A genius is giving birth to the joy in learning. There are twelve qualities of a genius and I can choose two of those qualities that can go with me. One of the qualities I can chose is curiosity. I'm a very curious person. They say kids are naturally curious about the world around them from the earliest weeks of life. But I disagree with that because from the earliest ages to the latest kids and grown ups always have a curiosity to something. Sometimes being curious can be good but also bad. One time wen I was about 14 my sister had a boyfriend. He was a very nice guy. He seemed like the perfect guy. But when my sister wasn't around he would always play around with one of my friends. i would think like no he's just friendly, they just friends. But later on i started seeing that they would speak on the phone they would go out to eat. My sister wasn't aware of this because he seemed so perfect. My curisoity to find out whats going on was killing me. So I had to find out if there was something there more then just a friendship. At times I would think to myself like no I'm just overreacting but as I saw them spend more and more time , more doubts I started getting. So I had to find out. Sinse me & the girl were friends she still trusted me . She trusted me yes, but not to the point to tell me what was going on. So I had her myspace password and I would always log in she just never new that. Then one day that I did log in, it was all there . I caught them. He was cheating on my sister with one of my friends. I was so curious, that I just had to find out and I did. This is why sometimes I say being curious ain't good, because my sister was very heartbroken and I surly didn't want to see her like that. But I had to let her know , he wasn't what we all thought. Back then she was hurt. But now shes happy I told her. I believe I am a genius for that because no one realize what was going on right in there face. only I caught on . Another experience I can relate to the word curious is how when I first enter high school all my friends would always talk about hooky parties. I never knew what was that. When I asked my best friend what that meant she told me it was that kids who didnt want to go to school would meet up early in the morining go to a house and cut school by doing a party. I was stuck like wow how could that be a party in the morning? So one day she told me everyone is cutting today to a hooky you want to go and check it out? I was scared of getting in trouble for not going to school, but I was more curious about seeing what a hooky was really about. So I went with my best friend and the girls and for the first time saw what it was really like, what kids did all the time. It was a party at day time. Music, kids dancing, kids smoking, playing around, boyfriends and girlfriends a regular night party, but now at day. After that day I wasn't curious about any hooky party. But I also knew I wouldn't cut school to do that. Another word I can relate is wonder. I wonder a lot of things that I yet haven't figure out but I know some day I will. Wonder has a big part in the word genius. Because when I wonder something so badly it pushes you to learn the answer. Like before I never ever knew anything about the solar system. I always wondered what is the sun what is the moon where does it land. How many planets do we have ? What planet am I on ? I wondered so much about Earth. But not until I hit high school did I find out all the answers. I hate science class with a passion. I still do.I really wanted to know about the solar system . So I pushed myself to learn about it. It was so amusing to me. I was so surprised. I went to my science class everyday to learn about it. I didn't know we had so many different planets. I didn't even know this planet was called earth. Another great experience I had was watching my cousin give birth. I always since 10 years old wondered how women have babys, how did my mommy have me ? I use to think they would cut ya belly in half take the baby out and stitch it back up.No it wasn't till September 14 of 2008 that I saw it all with my eyes. I sat there with my cousin while she pushed her baby out. I was so amazed. It was nothing compare to what I thought. It sure was painful because every time she would push she would scream like no other. Watching all that happen till this very day has me amused.
