Self and alter ego

My alter ego:
As family member is:
Not concerned, selfish, cautious, distant, dependent, secretive, anxious, deceptive, and lying.
I am not concerned about my family and I do what I want, regardless of what others want. I am not connected and keep secrets from my family. I do not care if I cause others pain.

As a student:
Inconsistent, secure, lazy, calm, self-centered, unmotivated, and nonchalant.
I do not care about my education or the effort which it entails. I remain calm, yet unmotivated.

As a teacher is:
Timid, shy, lazy, heartless, arrogant, serious, dull, selfish, and unmotivated, deceptive.
I am not concerned about my students and am not motivated to start to care. I deceive to get ahead and am not concerned about how I obtain my goals, as long as I reach them.

As an artist is:
Deceitful, has a strong faith, arrogant, passive, progressive, not enthusiastic, quiet, selfish, self conscious, and egotistical. I do not care about what others think of me and am very confident with my art work. I have a strong faith and base my art around it.

  1. If only we could all be "calm, yet unmotivated." Ha! On a serious note, it's unfortunate that far too many teachers actually share the traits you've listed for your teacher self.

  2. Are you saying that teachers fall into the pattern of being dull, unmotivated, and lazy? Or are you saying that many of us, as students, are placing these as our alter egos as teachers?

  3. I guess I meant that too many teachers get to the point (or maybe even start out) not caring about their students or what they're teaching. I guess some people have listed them for their alter egos, though. I just hate to see a teacher like that in real life.
