My Wallet!
When randomly discovering another person’s wallet, what assumptions would you conclude? Can a wallet itself clearly map out your personality? I feel that delving into a wallet is quite an absurd way to obtain information about one’s personality. Yes, you can find out some of interesting information, but it would be rather vague. For example, you can find out that a person has a membership to a movie rental store but you can’t possibly know what genre of movies is actually preferred by the person. I feel that your wallet my cover the hard evidence, but doesn’t provide the details. However, what assumptions would be made if my wallet were under close inspection of another? When examining my wallet I do notice some things that would be of particular significance. I maintain an almost perfect checkbook. I make sure that it is always balanced and will spend a great deal of time researching the problem if I am even more than a cent off! I’m sure you could assume that from my book lies someone who enjoys keeping track of her personal expenses… Not to mention low on cash, I prefer card transactions. I have an asb card, which clearly suggests that I am currently a student. I have a gym membership, which may suggest that I am into physical fitness or that I am trying to get back to a healthy state. Inside my wallet is a driver’s license. On that drivers license is my overall description… maybe add a few pounds and a inch to get a more accurate description… Regardless, my driver’s license can tell a lot. My address is clearly listed as well as my birthrate and that I need corrective lenses to be able to drive. I have pictures of my family and friends, but mainly pictures of my boyfriend. From that one may be able to assume that I am very family orientated and love my boyfriend, with is a true and accurate assumption; however there are aspects of my life that are not available for anyone to see. There is no way to indicate my special interests or passions in life; my personality or usual tendencies. I feel that there are numerous aspects of my life that my wallet fails to point out. I feel that my wallet gives an overall feel that I am stingy with money, obsessed with working out, and my life consists of my family and boyfriend. However my life is much different. It is full of happiness and passion for life. There is so much more to me as an individual. I have thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. I plan on becoming a registered nurse; I want my life to be meaningful to others as well as my own. My wallet fails to mention how much happiness I receive when for one day all that I do is quilt. It fails to mention how passionate I am about my religion and faith. That without church my life would be meaningless. There’s nothing that indicates I love romance novels, or that I adore movies that are “chick flicks” and cry no matter the times I’ve watched. There are so many assumptions that one can make over one’s wallet, but until you meet the person you can’t prove them to be true… after all even though it’s on my driver’s license I really don’t weigh 130!
