Six Seconds

I took a speech class about a year ago from one of my more memorable professors, Carol Hunsburger. She is one of those professors that makes you want to sing and cry and jump for joy and throttle her all at the same time . . . But looking back, I learned so much from that woman that I wouldn't hesitate to take a class from her again.

One of the many things she taught me is how quickly it takes for someone to size you up: six seconds. That’s it. Six seconds and the stranger you met on the subway has you figured out. Six seconds and the man interviewing you has decided if you’re suitable for the job or not. Six seconds and the person reading this blog is either bored or vaguely interested in what I have to say.

So here I go. Hope I don’t blow it.

My name is Sarah. I love the color blue and have a slight obsession with the band Coldplay. I am an aunt to two beautiful rug-rats that live halfway across the country and I honestly can’t wait for more to come. I am a seventeen year-old college sophomore at Tarrant County College and I work at Cinemark on the side (which takes up 99.99999% of my time, blech). I just got accepted into Brigham Young University – Idaho, where I hope to train as a nurse and obtain my BSN (as well as my MRS, if you catch my drift). Lastly, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which is the foundation of who I am and why I am. 

                                             

Okay. That’s really it. This is the gist of what I’ll most likely write about here and there. I hope I used my six(ish) seconds wisely.
