Being an individual is important to one’s character. I’ve seen people stick with the crowd and become just like the other people, becoming less of an individual. In The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, no one had their own identity. Jonas finds his own through the Giver.

The following words and phrases say quite a bit about my life. I like to stand out from the crowd. I have provided a translation for the interjections and statements you may hear me express here or there. For some, the meaning may be pretty apparent while others may cause you to scratch your head and wonder if I’m weird. I’m not–I’m just me.
