Journal #27: Brainstorming a metaphor

I think I want to compare myself to a computer because computers are usually used to store information and when we don't remember or we lost things, we look to them for reference. Another thing is that we go to computers when we need help with something. If we can't answer a questions or we are looking for information, we would google it. I am sort of like a computer because people usually depend on me when it comes to work. I'm the one who holds all the information for them, such as the worksheets, since the teacher advises that the most responsible be the one to keep it until the next class begins. People also come to me for help. When they can't answer a question or when they get stuck on a certain problem, they ask me. Most of the time, I am able to give them a satisfying answer. They also looked towards me just to clarify a few things. Like when they forget or are unsure of something, they refer to me. Then, I will be able to tell and explain to them what they are unsure of.

I think I want to compare myself to an elephant. Elephants are said to have good memory. At school, when my teacher says something, I easily remember what they say. Or when there are quizzes, tests, or exams, I am able to remember almost everything that I have studied/learned. It's like having a photographic memory.

I think I want to compare myself to ______ because when I hear, see, or read something that is important, I jot them down into post-it notes, paper, computer, to almost everything that is available for my use. Then, when I get home, I review them just in case, I don't remember or have to refer to it. (I don't know what kind of object has the ability to do this.)

I think I want to compare myself to _____ because they are very cautious, meticulous, and are very observing. I am like this in my school work. I make sure that every detail is accurate and precise. I feel that there is a chance to reach perfection, but not complete perfection. I have to convince myself that the work that I produce is acceptable and achieves all requirements and benchmarks.
