A sentence I swore by.

My sentence: “I promise nothing other than to devote  time, adoration, and passion to my family, friends, professional life, and personal life and I will do just that.”

First and foremost, I absolutely dislike talking about myself. It’s the worst thing ever. Give me a topic to discuss and I will state my blunt opinions but it better not be about myself. I get very nervous and get the butterflies. However, I liked this assignment because it actually took me 45 minutes to figure out a sentence that hit right on the mark and is honest. 

I can’t write a professional sentence without incorporating the people and things that matter most to me in my life. My family and friends come before my career. Careers can come and go, but family and true friends never leave your side. I can’t even go a day without speaking to every member of my family or friend about what they had for dinner or thought about a tv show – which is standard procedure. (Notice how I am rambling because I don’t know what to say).

What I do know is that my sentence could not be complete without incorporating spending time and loving the momements captured with the people I love and the activities I love to do. 

Social media and the rapid technological advances constantly change my sentence, both positively and negatively. The more communication devices created, the many more ways in keeping in touch with what matters most to me.  On the contrary, the more advances, the less time spent building a relationship one-on-one and the more time spent on facebook, twitter, and text messaging. But wait, no one can live without them.
