Monologue on Frances Mitelman

The question of the day is “Who am I?”
Good question.
I am…
Kind
Generous
Selfless
Loving
Understanding
Reasonable
Independent
I actually happen to love these qualities about myself.

I identify myself as a…
A sister
A daughter
A granddaughter
A niece
A provider
A best friend
“The-Person-I-Can-Go-To”
A Mitelman.
You’re all probably thinking, “What is a ‘Mitelman’?” Well, yeah, it is my last name, but Mitelman’s tend to be stubborn, too kind, big eaters, funny, loving, caring, and hard-workers. Now, THAT’S a Mitelman, and you’re looking at one right now.

Don’t get me wrong, though, there are things about myself that I hate, like how I’m…
Disrespectful towards those who do not deserve it,
who love me,
who would fight for me,
who would die for me,
I always question myself why I am not disrespectful towards those who do deserve it,
who hurt me,
make me bleed,
and make my head spin.
I also hate that I have not been the daughter that I should have been within this past year.

I am slightly afraid of heights.
My friends and family make me happy.
Cooking makes me happy.
Seeing people happy makes me happy.
And, of course, food (e.g. ice cream, mangoes, and strawberries) makes me happy.
I find being successful, having good health, and my mother, my father, my brother, and my friends important in my life. I also find myself as being important, because, well, I am the one that is living my life. Oh, how can I forget?! I find school VERY important.

As you all know, I go to Baruch College. So far, I am enjoying it. I love the fact that I am going to school in the city and the fact that I am meeting new people with different backgrounds and learning new things not only from my professors but also from my peers. The workload is not bad, and I definitely do see that if I want to be successful and make it to the Zicklin School of Business, I will have to work very hard. I also do know that teachers are not going to baby me anymore, and that everything is up to me. I am responsible now. It’s not high school, it’s college, it’s being an adult, and I’m so far enjoying it.

Well, I guess that’s enough about me, but before I end, I do want to leave you all with something that I believe is true:

–Everything happens for a reason—

I do believe that the people we meet and the experiences we encounter will help us in the future in one way or another. You all may not realize it now, but trust me, when all of you one day will be sitting on a chair and thinking about all the people you have met and all the experiences you have gone through, you may realize some of the things that happened were for a reason in one way or another.

Thank you.
