I was imaginative.

A new doll-house was the beginning to hours of imagination each day. I was in my own world when I controlled and created new stories for these plastic people to live. I loved having control over what happened and acting things out by myself. I was an only child at the time and I would usually play by myself, my sister would come the following March. This has affected my communication style because now I find enjoyment in being alone and working alone. I feel like I can think better in an environment that is free from others. This activity affected me in both a positive and negative way. I am able to work on my own great, but it’s also hard to deal with other’s ideas. I also think I am a creative person because of it. I think I am given a tough situation in life and I’m able to come up with a solution quickly, even if it might not work. I would give these dolls difficult stories/situations and then overcome it by figuring out a solution. Looking back I think it was a challenge for me to have a sister younger than me. Now I see her as a blessing, but having other people around is hard for me to work and get things done.
