In the Zone

I am a very energetic and creative person and find myself "in the zone" more often then not. One of my many passions is roller blading. I can't tell you why I like it, I just do. If I could do it everyday, weather permiting, I would. When I start blading, I just get this feeling. It starts in my feet and travels all the way through my body to my head. My breath quickens, I feel the heat and adrenaline rise. I feel unstoppable. I love the feeling. I get the same way when I sing and dance. I completely lose myself in the experience and I don't even feel the time pass and when I look down at the clock I realize that more time has passed then I would have thought possible. The same goes for my biggest passion and that is reading. When I am reading, I feel myself leaving reality and I am fully immersed in the story that I am reading. Reading has been an escape for me and now it is something that I enjoy so much I wanted to help others find the same joy that I get from it. That is why I went to school to be a librarian. I don't know if that is what I will do forever but that is what I am passionate about now. I just hope to someday soon find a job as a school librarian because it is what I truly care about and what I really want to do. I believe that everyone has something that they could do for hours and never tire of. This chapter just made me think more about the feelings that are evoked from doing something that I love and I really enjoyed reading this chapter in particular.
