I am the least famous girl in my class or among a group of
people. People hardly notice me. I mean, I go to class, I sit, when it’s over,
I’m out. I just don’t talk.
If I ever get noticed, it because of my name. Seriously.
People (lecturers and students) would like to know who Marietta Grant DeGrant
is, either they saw the name in the class register or in a group project work
and expect to see a white lady.
Ugh. It’s so frustrating
If I was called Afua Adoma, like I wouldn’t get noticed at
all.
Never.
Even with that, the number of ladies studying my course are
just 14, so we can easily be spotted.
I might be quiet all the time, but trust me, I am a
talkative.
You don’t believe me?
I know, if I’m in a group of people walking together, you
hardly hear my voice. If you do, then I am laughing at someone’s joke and
that’s one thing people hate about me.
I know, right. It can be boring.
But trust me, I am a talkative.
Just be alone with me, and hear me talk and rant. I like one
to one conversations, rather than one to many.
*wink*
That explains why I panic anytime I stand in front of people
to speak. That is another thing to write about, but I am a talkative. I even
had person telling me “You talk too much.” We used to keep in touch by phone.
When he told me I talk too much, in fact, I was delighted instead of getting
mad. I don’t normally hear that about myself. I see it as a compliment, trust
me. He did not say it in an annoying way but even if he did, I’ll be happy to
hear that.
I am a quiet talkative.
