English110: Student Projects.
One of the last projects my English 110 students put together is a multi-genre paper answering the question: "Who Am I?" I get really great papers (to read at the end of an exhausting semester) and they get to write about themselves (and do some research about themselves too); some do complain about writing about themselves which is still strange to me. 
)
Here are some of the things I've found that are cool:
From Kelly's paper-
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets." — Marilyn Monroe
Randomness from RaeAnn's paper-
1. I'm the kinda girl who walks into a chair and apologizes.
3. Not only to I fall down stairs, I trip up them as well- now that takes talent.
4. Don't follow in my footsteps; I walk into walls.
9. Forget about the people in the past, theres a reason they didn't make it to your future.
10. Be a freak, being cool is over-rated.
21. Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself.
24. I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.
From Michael's paper -
Metallica- Nothing Else Matters
So close no matter how far couldn't be much more from the heart forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters never opened myself this way life is ours,
we live it our way all these words I don't just say and nothing else matters trust I seek and I find in you every day for us something new open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do never cared for what they know but I know
so close no matter how far couldn't be much more from the heart forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters
Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
-- Dolly Parton
From Chris' paper-
