Homemade Wheat Bread and What Not to Wear.
Honestly, my title has nothing to do with my blog. My blog is really about misconceptions about student secretaries, and just about everything else. Why do people assume certain things? Everything goes back to the good ol' label. People like to fit everyone into little boxes. Well not everyone can fit into boxes okay? Goodness. In my almost daily life I am forced into a box, metaphorically speaking of course. People call the school (I work at Mountain View answering phones after school. I know it is a nerdy job, you don't have to tell me. It has caused more than one awkward situation. These situations usually involve me answering my home phone "Mountain View High School, main office.") and ask me if a student, or someone is there. How do they expect me to know if their child is there? It is not like I'm psychic or anything. Why people think that is anybody's guess. Maybe they assume that because I answer the phone, I automatically know everything. Anyway, labels in our society change the way people feel and act. If we want to change how much society rules our lives, we need to stop going along with it. Instead of assuming things, we should take the time to find out for ourselves. Keep in mind that those who really try to change the world usually end up changing it.

What's worse, people thinking you are all-knowing or people who think you know nothing because you are a student?

Oooooh. That is a hard one. Ummm... The ones who think I know nothing. They are usually rude. I can't stand rudeness.

I've got it! People think you know everything because everyone who knows anything knows that you are the center of the universe. The people who are rude and think you know nothing are too dumb to realize that everything revolves around you.

Aren't labels annoying? I wonder how life would be different without them. Hey! Your job isn't nerdy! Remember where I work?
