Numbers.

I hate numbers. Numbers are a very limited way to define who a person is. In elementary school I was assigned the number 12 to put on the top of my papers, along with the 12th coat hanger and the 12th cubby. I graduated 52nd in my high school class. I hate being given a number to define who I am. I don't want to be known as the 7th girl you kissed. I don't want to be just another number adding on to somebody's "list". Because I am more than 12, 52, and 7. That's why I prefer words. Words are more personal. I would rather be known as compassionate, ardent, and cheerful. Words better define someone's personality. I don't care what number I am on a list or what my ranking is. I would rather be defined by greater things.
