Who am I?

The question "Who Am I" is a very general question. There are many adjectives that make me the person I am. For example, I am creative and kind to those around me. I am also outgoing and adventurous. Big influences in my life consist of my family, friends, and peers. I plan to attend college and have plans to become a Police Officer after getting a degree.

Last week, at the beginning of class, there was a moment of awkward silence; no one was expecting it come. Once that happened, people just started to talk to fill the air with either words or noise. As someone in the class, I sat there and listened to the small comments and laughs of the people around me wondering what was going on. Since I had seen how all of this had come about, it was not as awkward as it was unusual. However, when one is with a large group of friends and people within that group are split up into smaller units all talking about different things, it is awkward when a silence just fills the air. After talking for a while, noise starts to become a normal aspect. As the noise fades and the silence rises it starts to become awkward. When this happens, I would say that it affects the way that people listen. No one can really remember what was said during an awkward silence. Is that because people just aren't listening? Is that because people just don't care what is going on because they might be zoning out? I think that it has to do with both of those ideas. This is because when there is an awkward silence, it contains a serious context. No one really wants to say anything when the air around them is so tense. Yes, they usually end in laughs, but when there is a silence, it can be uncomfortable for someone to speak up and say something.
