As the title says, it's crazy what people notice and remember.
Do you have these weird memories that are so weird that you remember? Yes.
You remember really really stupid insignificant details about shit, but not stuff you are supposed to know.
For example: During one of the exams I was writing in grade 11 I couldn't remember the answer to one of the multiple choice questions... and I quickly realized how sad it was that I knew the names of my teacher's children, but not the answer to the question. What is life.
Brains are weird, okay?
But it's also crazy what people will notice. Today somebody pointed out to me that I sit weird sometimes (if I'm sitting in a chair, I'll lean forward and cross my arms and put my hands under my knees). She said she noticed in last year too, but she didn't say anything. Isn't that a weird thing to remember? That's what I was thinking.
It's so weird the little things I've done to influence people over the years. When I'm trying to influence people, it doesn't work.
Some things I've said to my 10 year old cousin, she still remembers. One time I gave her a mini-lecture on the fact that she should be able to make her own life decisions, and just because she's young, doesn't mean she can't. Apparently a few months ago she gave this huge lecture to her dad about how her mom wants her to change family doctors, and she doesn't want to, and no matter what her age, she should be allowed to choose.
What.
In peer tutoring, I feel like I am constantly doing this. It's actually insane how much these people are looking up to me. I love it so much. Not because it's attention, but because once I'm a teacher I feel like it won't be like this. I'm only 2 years older than them, so I am kind of like an older sibling. I've been through a lot of things they are going through, so some of them ask me about things sometimes. I really am not meaning to write this to sound like I'm awesome. I'm just wondering how much of what I say to them, they will actually remember.
I don't know. I'm being weird.
