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?

  1. When you're busy, you're busy. I'm finding it hard to keep up with two blogs and now my YouTube account, myself, never mind every day life into the bargain. Who is someone? Actions always speak louder than words. You can have thoughts, and passion can come from them, but if you don't act on your passions...? It doesn't mean a person isn't viable if they don't act, but action gives them more definition.

  2. That's so true.. Thanks! Your insight is always helpful.

    You sound crazy busy. I don't even have time to start up a YouTube account with just this one blog. School takes up so much of my time; there's just not much left at the end of the day.

  3. School's the most important thing you can do right now.
