Little Miss Sensitive
I read many books from the Little Miss Sunshine series when I was growing up. Each character had a different name that described their demeanor. If I had to write a book about myself in the same fashion, I guess I'd have the choose the title Little Miss Sensitive. Probably everyone I know has seen me cry at least once. It's not that I cry about hurt feelings. It's usually hearing about pain in someone else's life that turns on the waterworks. I can't really bear to watch the news, and a depressing movie can haunt me for days. And if I hear of something bad happening to a child, well...it breaks my heart and stays in my mind. It's just that I find it easy to relate to another person's pain. I can imagine it as if it were happening in my own life. Of course, every character trait has positives and negatives. The good thing about being sensitive is that I care about others and like to invest myself in helping those that are hurting. I can read others' emotions pretty well, and can show mercy. However, the negative side is that it's easy to become depressed or overwhelmed by feelings, and I take even small critism to heart. If you were going to write a book about yourself, what title would you choose?

Becky,
I think I could be a mixture of titles. I, like you, could be Miss Sensitive. However, I think I might would be Miss Worrier or Miss Optimistic. Those seem so opposite. Let me explain. I tend to worry about things far too much. Whether it be about Todd's cold, the situation of our world, or how my boss feels about me. This is an area I work on daily. I feel I am optimistic in my job. I have worked with the most challenging kids. These kids most people would say "I just can't like them". However, I can see the potential in them. I can have something thrown at me or cursed at, and yet I still feel those kids are special. I feel that I can change them and make them grow. I guess maybe I should be called Miss Confused. These names may change daily, however, I can always say I am Miss Saved!!
