Thing is, I prefer to not talk about myself. I am constantly looking for tactfully ways to avoid answering personal questions, both, offline and online. Thing is, here I have to compromise a bit. So, here it is ...
By education and certification, I am a high school mathematics and computer programming teacher, a perfect geek by example. By grace and good fortune, I am a general goofball.
I am a product of my environment. I used to be painfully shy, but now I think I am loquacious to a fault. Even so, I prefer solitude to groups. During high school, my scariest nightmares came from maths, now I have a degree in Mathematics.
So, what hasn't changed is my question to myself.
I've always been strongly introverted, tenacious, introspective, easily intimidated, an optimist. I'm in awe of those with superior intelligence, sense of humor and good communication skills. I like to say that I'm reasonably intelligent, love to laugh, love to create laughter, love to be subtle and I always keep sarcasm close. If logically proven wrong, I will be the first to admit it and change my tune. If I perceive that I have been unkind and hurt someone's feelings, I will back off. I value ... simplicity and common sense, positive attitude and respect, openness to new ideas and constant learning. I am always looking for humor, refined intelligence, cultivated spirit doubled by the beauty of a simple character ... quite independent ... At the same time, I love the pleasures of simple life, the unmolested travels, the innocence of children, the charm of a hike in the heart of nature. I despise the display of fortunes, crowded and smoky places and tremendous social conventions ...
I take teaching very serious and I have the only purpose to make my father proud. He passed to me a lot of his logic, a lot of his mathematical thinking and I feel I owe him that.
Because it's getting awkward and there are too many Is in here, I'll just press the Save button and move on...
