Too young to be certain
I'm an uncertain person. After all I'm only 16 and still young. I'm inexperienced and still learning with each step I take. Because of my uncertainty I often double back on my own words and my opinion is constantly changing. A lot of times my words will contradict my actions and they do not remain constant. I constantly contradict myself when I am talking to my parents. I promise them to walk the dog or finish walking the dishes before I go to bed. But next thing I know my mom is dragging me out of my bed to finish my chores at midnight. Another self contradiction I make is pretty common which is the morning struggle to get out of bed and the promise I make to myself that I will get up after 5 more minutes of sleep. A real contradiction in my life is my belief in that the social stereotypes construed about groups of people are generalizations. While I know in my mind I believe that these are not accurate descriptions of those groups, I often involuntarily think of an Asian guy as very smart and black guy as athletic which contradict what I know is true. I deal with all of this uncertainty in my life as I know that in my youth I am still growing and learning. I am not certain enough yet to not contradict myself .
