I found it a fascinating experience to listen to the various speeches. Less so because of the content, though that was interesting in itself \u2013 but in the delivery. Even the best or worst speaker cannot help but allow bits of themselves to escape in the midst of a presentation. Body language, tone, presence or lack of confidence, these and more tell far more than any PowerPoint on family background ever could. This I believe is doubly so when someone is asked to represent a personal aspect of themselves.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t spouting hyperbole in my own when speaking of insatiable curiosity in my own exhibition, and while I am poor with name\/faces, I never forget a personality. Though I prefer to work alone (read: hate group assignments with a burning passion), I\u2019ll choose to make lemons into lemonade. It will be a fun exercise to learn more about my classmates and their backgrounds during our upcoming endeavors.<\/p>\n
