I would love to be conversational fluent in Spanish… in German… in Japanese… in Chinese … and in Arabic. But I actually ‘speak’ no other language.
I had five plus years of Latin in junior high and high school. When I was younger, I was good at acquiring language vocabulary.
The one possess that I wish I had pursued would be the mastery of at least one more language. It did not matter what others were… or what others thought.
But whatever song to which I choose to walk the beat… to be MY VERY BEST. My mother encouraged me to be self-confident at walking to the beat of my own drummer. When I was younger, I remember him holding down FIVE DIFFERENT JOBS to allow own family needs to be meet. My father perseveres through all obstacles to complete the things in life he enjoys. To possess courage … … I think I get my courage to push myself from both of my parents. It also allowed me the chance to teach at a junior college allowing me to gain the needed respite to encourage me back into the teaching profession. Having a degree, paved the avenue for a fast promotion from a bagboy to departmental management and more. Choosing to work at Food Lion for two years, was a blessing. But when I wanted to take a sabbatical from teaching after experiencing burnout my first five years… I had a degree to fall back on. This degree has given me the freedom to make many of my life choices without the fear that imprisons some of my friends. To possess as a house or a car … … I am very happy to possess a college degree. to keep or maintain (oneself, one’s mind, etc.) in a certain state, as of peace, patience, etc.Īfter intense deliberation, I have concluded that there are several things that I would consider to be prized possessions (depending on which of the above definitions one would choose).to have knowledge of: to possess a language.(of a feeling, idea, etc.) to dominate or actuate in the manner of such a spirit: He was possessed by envy.(of a spirit, especially an evil one) to occupy, dominate, or control (a person) from within: He thought he was possessed by devils.to have as a faculty, quality, or the like: to possess courage.to have as belonging to one have as property own: to possess a house and a car.
