Who Am I?

I watched Rango with my roommate last night. It was a great movie. Great animation. Rango was constantly searching for answers to one question: "Who am I?"

In my Oral Comm class, our first speech is to introduce a classmate. We interview them, pick two or three main ideas or points, make an outline, and present it to the class. The goal is to help the teacher remember our names, and to practice public speaking before we do our large speeches.

I figured that if I have to present things to the class, it should be a good presentation, especially since the classmate I will be introducing will be watching.

This is my question to you: What makes a person who they are? Is it their passions? Their actions? Their thoughts? How can you introduce someone so that they will be remembered? How do you avoid that moment of awkward silence?

On a different note, I'm sorry I haven't posted much as of late. I haven't forgotten about you all. I've just been a bit busy with school and all. Perhaps I'll post soon about words, etymology, singing, writing, or other things of the sort. Before I go off rambling about who knows what, though, I'll let this post come to an end. More to come another day.

Why must I forget to sign these?
