In all
honesty, I was extremely skeptical entering this assignment. I thought it was
quite a difficult task to not say anything mean or false or unkind throughout
the course of a day. I chose to do this assignment when I was home on break and
I felt that it would give me some interesting results because I would be
talking to my family. I did tell my family about the assignment and they did
find it rather odd but embraced it and helped me wonderfully. The first hours
in the morning were difficult but I did feel that having my family around made
it easier. I guess it seemed easier because my friends would have probably
gossiped about what was happening at their colleges and what not and that would
have been harder to be useful. I assumed that it would be difficult to be truly
nice to my brothers all day and it was. Just the way brothers act to each other
is a special, and sometimes mean, bond but I liked that the assignment wasn’t easy.
Having my brothers tease me and joke around with me all day made it much harder
but it also made it quite comical. I couldn’t help but notice how often I
needed to just laugh things off instead of joking back. I also thought it was
funny that I kept my control all day and I am the youngest of three brothers.
(I guess it’s funny and a little sad). Overall this assignment made me realize
that people are naturally a little mean every once in a while and also that
people gossip about others extremely often. I am glad that I had the opportunity
to take part in this assignment because since I observed myself I have
definitely been a nicer person to others and I really do view myself as being
more useful to others. On a final note, I now believe that the harder one works
to be nicer the more they notice the little mean things that most people do on
an everyday basis.
