1. Did I decide organization of choice before visiting GC?
Yes I did. I had grown up around these beautiful gifted women and I decided at a very young age that I wanted to be just like them. This particular organization was what I was fed and weaned on, just like a baby.
2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No because after all the years of living on this earth, I still haven't changed my mind.
3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
No. When my mind is made up, there is hardly any way that I would change my mind. A double minded man (or woman) is unstable in all his(her) ways.
4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
No.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
It would tell me that that particular person is interested and will not take no for an answer. It also tells me that my answer was not respected enough to leave well enough alone.
6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
I would find fault in that person.
7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
That my answer doesn't mean anything. That person is going to try everything in her power to get me to change my mind.
8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
On a serious note, I do not change my mind easily especially about something that I have wanted to do for the majority of my life. If I did change my mind then that meant that I was not serious in the first place. That I did not have a made up mind. My mind is made up. This is something that I want to do.
9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
I could look myself in the mirror because I know that I said no to someone who was trying to change my mind. I may not have explained the reasons why and I feel that I should not have to explain myself. My values and goals are sacred to me and if you change your mind everytime someone has a persuasive arguement then I consider you a wishy washy person. Someone who I don't need to associate with.
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
My integrity is strong, the way my parents raised me to be. I know that I may not be all of that all of the time. I am still human. I strive to reach perfection everyday. Even though I may fail or come short, I know in my heart that I have tried and fought the good fight. If you let your integrity come up short, then what makes you think you are a good person. Why would you short yourself like that? I feel that I don't have to short myself in any way, shape, form or fashion. I have a pride and dignity about myself that is unshakeable. And for that, I do thank my God and my parents.
Thanks for letting me add my thoughs!
