An Introduction: 1997
Along with my talk in church I was asked to give an introduction. It went similar to as follows:
My name is k nelle. I have lived in this small midwest town for 5 years pursuing a PhD in organic chemistry at large public University. I graduated from the flagship institution in Utah where my family still lives in a small suburb of with the exception of one sister who lives on the east coast. I am the second of a number of siblings.
This is the usual boring framework that we tend to introduce ourselves. Since I've become somewhat bad at introductions I looked back to see how I defined myself as a 14 year old. In my journal I said that my favorite things to do were reading, and thinking and pondering. I hated the song "I believe I can fly" and my favorite food was tacos. My greatest wish was to travel to Salzburg (which I ended up achieving a couple years ago). I liked 3:00 in the afternoon and hated midnight and noon. My goal of the upcoming year was to get to know EVERYONE and to STOP writing about Rick (who was my 8th grade crush).
Most of these things are still true. I LOVE reading and thinking. I still love afternoons and even though I use the late night hours for projects, in general I still love sleeping. I am slightly ambitious and thrilled by a challenge. Most of the time I make an effort to get to know everyone and generally try to stop writing in my journal about boys.
