I come from an academic background. I wasn't raised to be into promoting myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Self-promotion has never been a point, and I'm incredibly inept at self-promotion.
I should be known for my work and not how I promote myself and what I do.
I've never been interested in self-promotion and that side of politics; and if that means people judge that you're less prominent than others, that's a choice I've been willing to make.
I'm a genuine person - I will never promote something I don't believe in.
The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, although it did enable me to work without feeling guilty about neglecting my studies.
If I had to do a lot of promotion as a kid, it would have been very intense. I'm really glad I got to go through high school, have a college experience, and have the last five years since then, just... being a person.
I started promoting clubs when I was 15. 1 was doing what is considered the normal collegiate stuff when I was a lot younger. I was holding my own, but doing a lot of crazy things.
I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.
The thing is, I wasn't surrounded by lots of people who were helping me build a career.
I've never professed to be anything but an average student.
