What to tell?... things like this ask you to define yourself in a small space... how to condense a lifetime of achievements, or failures into a concise statement of "who am I." Who am I? The ambitious might answer, "I am a mighty success." The depressed might answer, "I am worthless. "The religious might answer "I am a child of God." A proud mother or father might say, "I'm an awesome parent." Some may say, "I'm a college student," or "I'm a lawyer/doctor/teacher/babysitter/computer genious/salesperson etc." many would say, "I'm a good neighbor", "a good friend", "A good person." Most of you would probobly say, "I'm a mormon," others might say, "I'm a catholic, "I'm a protestant", "I'm a jew," "I'm an atheist." There are many many different ways to identify oneself.
Once a person has identified what they are, they generally go on to tell where they're from, what they're doing with their life, etc. The problem we run into here is that there are so many different aspects of life, which ones do we focus on and give detail. The ones that are most pressing on daily life? The ones that we think are the most unique and impressive? The ones that relate most to the other people here? Do we talk about the things that are internal, or external? Do we talk about work? family? friends? challenges? achievements? Do we talk about our history or our present or our future? So many options.
I suppose I'm defeating the point of this 'about me' section because I have not said much about me at all. If you want to know about me, I guess you'll have to talk to me.
