Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover!

     This past week, we started our autobiography presentations in FYS. They were primarily focused around you, whether it dealt with your family background, or religious views etcc....

     I would have to say that this was pretty challenging for me. I'm not really the type of person, who really knows how to express themselves in speaks of "Who are you as a person". At this point in my life, I can't really even say who I am. And to put a classification/personality on me based off of my past, I think is just dumb. People my age are still exploring and finding themselves. And in general, people of all ages are still exploring and finding themselves, some having more time to live and really live there life.

     What I found very interesting about the presentations, people that came off as "quiet or anti-social" were very expressive and informative when presenting. Going back to the "Don't judge a book by its cover". In society today, people are often misunderstood, whether its intentional or unintentional. But if each individual has the opportunity to be put on a stand and allowed time to really express themselves, people as a whole will become more unified. I don't know about anyone else, but I was very drawn into  the other presentations. You can only tell so much from the exterior of someone, take the time to really understand and learn about someone.

With that said, I really enjoyed this project!
