It seems that I have been caught next to the maple tree. I’m heaving for air. I’m now “It.” I’m tagged! Oh dear!
Rolando has snuck away from his home over at R Playground, crept into my neighborhood, and tagged me! Now, I obey the rules of the game. I wouldn’t want to be one of those “spoilsports.” I don’t think I could stand the taunting from the other bloggers.
The following are my Seven P’s:
My Passion: Forged in steel and set in frigid ink, my passion is definitely writing. Writing, a metaphorical lifeline, has been a part of my life since childhood. Compounded with an ardor for literature, I have come to realize that my life would not be complete unless a quill is always poised within my narrow fingers.
My Purpose: I believe that everyone in life serves a purpose. Their function may be accidental, but still, a purpose is always served. Personally, I hope that my purpose is to become an English Literature professor. I have been diligently working towards my goal for years now. I wish to become the sort of professor that communicates with their students in a way that inspires interest and excitement. Many Americans struggle with both reading and writing; thus, their self-esteem suffers. Even if I only make one student feel more confident in their abilities, I have fulfilled my purpose.
My Pursuit: My pursuit is much like my purpose. However, I am also an advocate for women’s rights and for the rights of individuals suffering from mental illness. Both groups need louder voices.
My Position: I am a writer, daughter, girlfriend, friend, and student. Each position I carry out with pride and dedication.
My Pummeling: Procrastination. For example, I began writing this post several hours ago. Instead of finishing immediately, I relaxed, ate dinner, read my favorite blogs, and took a nap. I always finish my tasks. I think sometimes I just like working under pressure and with a deadline. (This post had no deadline.)
My Progress: Is extremely slow. I don’t have a lot of money. Therefore, I financially progress at the rate of a snail. In school, I am very dedicated and do well in all of my classes. However, I am going to keep attending school until I earn my Ph.D. I hope to have it by the time I’m thirty. I won’t beat myself up if I don’t (or so I tell myself).
My Personality: I dislike questions like this one. I always feel like trying to explain my personality is like trying to spear a fish that is swimming in a river during broad daylight. Since the sun is always glistening off the water, I am never sure if I’ll actually spear the fish or just the illusion of its form.
While a few of you were reading this, I snuck up and tapped your shoulder. I announce that the following people have been tagged:
Brown, Suzie, Joanne, Amit, and Christina.
You’re all “It!” Now, it’s your turn to tell us your Seven P’s and what they mean to you.
No tag backs! Ha!

Excellent P's Erina! So ambitious and admirable. Thank you for playing the 7 P's.
Rolando
I read this post and that left me pondering for quite some time. How relevant they sound and how much of sense it makes! I have subscribed to your blog Erina!
But hey, sorry to be asking this (I am so blog-illiterate) but what actually do you mean by tagging someone? Is that a jargon word with something to do at a particular bookmarking site? Please let me know!
Oh boy...I better get busy!!
Thanks for the support everyone! I can’t wait to see all of your Seven P’s :)
Hi Erina! Got your tag--just on a deadline right now. But pondering my Ps and planning to answer them this weekend!
The 7 P's explained in beautiful words. I'm very much impressed, and you're very close to your "purpose".
Brown, I am excited to see your Seven P’s.
Zunnur, thank you for the compliments. I hope that I do one day fulfill the purpose I described :)
Alrighty! I answered the questions--incoherently, as I'm doped up on allergy meds (did I ever mention a severe allergy to dogs and cats?) but answered!
i dont give a shit
