That could be true.... Well, maybe someday we may get to explore those untold stories...

I don't encounter enigmas very often.

Today is not one of those days and "someday" seems more interesting.

I am not sure there are too many interesting things about me, I do hope that "someday" will be worth it. Lol

To be 21, you are far above average in your written English skills and your writing ability. That means you have a quality education and that is a rare commodity these days, and that makes it interesting.

None of us chose the environment we grew up in and our own lives are always boring to ourselves, but they seldom are to others.

People who are reluctant to talk about themselves are usually shy (which you are not or you would not be on Steemit) or they leave out things they think would make others feel inferior (which is not your fault) but are still endlessly interesting to others.

BTW, you would be surprised at the number of college graduates I would not hire when I was working because of their poor written English. I screened applications for professional positions based on their use of the language and rejected all with obvious grammatical errors. It very often was a high as 80% rejects! That frequently did not leave enough with proper work skills to fill the vacant jobs I was interviewing for.

80% rejects? That's quite alot! Wow...

If someone cannot take the time to write correctly on an important application that could influence their working career, why should I assume that they will take the time to do the routine parts of the job correctly?

Yes, 80% is high, especially since all applicants had college degrees. When a job requires writing reports and communicating with clients, the employee MUST be able to write! It's a tough world.

That's true, this little detail is often overlooked, how one writes something that important is definitely a reflection of how they will react to something even bigger...

And if the did not learn that while being "educated", one wonders what other basic things they also missed.

Sometimes, it's not that they didn't learn, they just didn't pay attention to it or maybe they took it for granted. They must have felt you were gonna understand anyways, it may be they thought their CV will speak for them.....
