When I watch that audition I tear up. Most people that know me know how true that is. I get emotional about many things. Sometimes it is laughter, sometimes it is tears, sometimes it is anger, and sometimes it is love and admiration. You have heard the expression of people wearing their emotions on their sleeves, I wear it on my face and in my eyes. I wish I could control my emotions, but I often lose control. When I taught in Korea every Christmas time I would play the movie, It's a Wonderful Life. I think it is a good way to understand American culture.

If you have ever seen the movie you probably know the end where the bells are ringing on the Christmas tree. I always tear up at that part. I don't care how many times I see the movie I lose my emotions at the same point. When I show the movie during class I always turn my back to my class at that point. My tears are running down my face and then I wipe them off and then turn around and face the class. I have mentioned before how I have gone to the movies with my youngest daughter and during the movie she will tell me to quit crying. The theater is dark so I ask how she knows I am crying.

She says she knows I am crying because she is also. I don't like being so emotional and I hope my daughter doesn't inherit this weakness from me. I don't think it is good for a man or a woman to be so emotional. I know it has hurt me in my life. When I was an Army officer it was really bad when I would be yelled at and I would start to tear up. It was terrible! I would not be that upset, but tears would be in my eyes. Or when I had to punish someone and I would have water in my eyes as I tell them what their punishment was.
Seeing the flag always brings out my emotions.
When I was young I would sometimes laugh so much that I couldn't stop. I had to hit my head on the wall to try to stop laughing. I have become so angry that I couldn't think rationally and had to just leave the situation so I could think of what to do. I don't get scared so easily and I don't avoid many situations because of my emotions. When I like/ love things immensely sometimes I can't control myself. Today I drove past UC Davis and thought about the first time I took my oldest daughter there to go to college and I started to tear up! AHHHHH!!
