Dear Friends,
So it happens that I, a "Feminist Rebel," with potential to become a Social/Political Rebel, moonlight as a Fashionista!
According to Caroline Myss, my obsession with aging and gaining weight secures me a seat in the Fashionista archetype. And, who would've thought that my grey hair screaming "Look at me, I'm unconventional!" is also screaming "Look at me, I'm making a personal fashion statement!" I thought I was just being cheap and lazy!
Oddly enough, neither the Rebel nor the Fashionista places me in the classroom, where I've been working - happily - for the past twenty-three years.
Since conservatism and conformity are two strong pillars of the public education system, I must have become a teacher by accident. Unless, somewhere in my psyche, I fostered the notion that being an educator should entail some envelope pushing.
I'm sure if I look closer, I'll find a trace of myself in other eight archetypes as well. However, at the present time, between protesting anything that doesn't look 'right,' and looking good while doing it, there is no room for further personal growth!
