    My scarlet letter, G, represents gull (term used for a gullible person). This burden represents how easily persuaded someone can be; not knowing how this careless behavior would leave them as victims of insidious tricks. I’ve come to receive this trait through the exposure of environmental factors during my childhood. In my earlier years, I wouldn’t assume that anyone would deliberately attempt to lie to me.
