Meet Sandrah, my fictional persona. Unlike me, she is super-model tall and never gets any wrinkles no matter how much sun bathing she did as a teen-ager!She never procrastinates, never eats unhealthy food and always flosses! Wow! Sandrah is very patient and she never snaps at her husband, even when he makes a huge mess around the house, in fact, she finds it "cute." Finally, Sandrah takes time to write and is widely published. She makes a TON of money and never needs any sleep. She is almost like a super hero.
(Wink--Sandra...now it's your turn!)
Let me introduce you to Cristoforo an idealistic philosopher. Who, like socrates, begins his new'ish life with an inquiry into human nature and doesn't like it. Why do so many of us just follow the crowd instead of our own loving instincts? Figuring myself out after I've been moulded by the environment of my early childhood is proving to be frightening yet enpowering. I would recommend it to everyone. As Emerson so eliquently put "Be not the slave of your own past, plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall explain and overlook the old.” Also I would like to add that I feel we will all greatly benefit from Sandra's teaching on public speaking as long as we apply ourselves. Oh! and brown nosing helps too...

My fictional character is Lala. Lala is compassionate, energetic, patient, free-spirited, and fun-loving. She represents life, hope, and tolerance. Whenever bad things happen, she can come in, spread some cheer, and uplift people from their worries. She has this amazing presence that can make everything better with just a simple smile. She is beautiful, both inside and out.

my fictional character, huh? that must be Mr. William, he is a great speech giver, during his speech, he never sweat, his face never turn red and he can breath normally. besides that, he can speak 5 different languages fluently. and he is a friend of the transformers...
I present Papa, my alternate ego. He is a more relaxed version of me. He can be found on evenings and weekends relaxing with his family. He enjoys spending time exploring new things with his 2 year old daughter, affectionately called bubba. By day, he's a mild mannered computer guru, by night a superhero known as daddy. He finds amazement in seeing her discover new experiences and helps her understand why bubbles form in the bathtub just before she jumps in. At the end of his day, as he turns out the light, cradling young bubba, he looks at her and knows that tomorrow will be another excellent day, saving the technology world and rescuing bubba from the evil grasps of mr. potty seat.

Ms.Jaja.. She is an excellent public speaker. She would always be the first one to do presentations or speech in class. Her speech is very clear, heard by everyone, and easily understood. She always gets positive feedbacks or comments from the audience every after speech. No one would ever beat her during debates. People would always want her to be their commentor....

Michelle Wang, my alternate ego, which is a girl in Hong Kong. She is a twenty-year old girl who always have shiny smile on her face. Her thoughts are mature and she can easily understand my feelings, always. She has strong sense to fashion and this make her ways of dressing are always surprised and attractive. I feel relaxed when hanging out with her because she is a good listener. No matter how bad the situation is, she can always come up with positive view and solution. I have learned being mature, independent and friendly from Michelle.

Hello meet Gustavo. He is my fictional character, who wears a green, velvet suit everyday. He claims that he is the greatest dancer who ever lived. He spends most of his time tossing quarters into "Dance Dance Revolution", an arcade that eluminates squares where your feet tap vigoursly while you stare at a cartoon character ( he imagines himself to be). He loves quesadillas, but doesnt' speak any Spanish. When he orders, he says, "I'de like a quesaDEEia and a large coke and a tAAUco (taco)." He makes money by holding an advertising arrow for Radio Shack.
Hello, please meet my fictional persona- Yer Awsome. Yer is an actively spoken person with a very confident image as he macho his way through life. He once told me his role model was William Hung, the famous American Idol singer. His future aspiration is to one day beat his American Idol on the same song that triggered his instant stardom. In spite of his weird dreams, he is a fun, loving, and goal oriented friend that has the ability to capture a person's heart to feel sorry for him. Yer wanted me to end by encouraging oneself to pursue your happiness regardless of how silly that pursuit may be and as a famous quote that he has been rehearsing, "she BANG!"

Hi everyone! Let me introduce you to Ms. "Fine," my fictional character. Fine is an extremely talented individual who never gets mad and always carry a smile in her cinderella-like face. She is a great speaker who can give an excellent impromptu speech. She gets "A's" on all her classes without even lifting a page of her text. She is able to maintain an immaculate house despite the mess that her husband and twins make. She got the name "Fine" because of her superior ability. (::)(Grin***--- Pina (Rufina) McCarty)

Yh-ello! My name is Jamin' Jahoopa Jay and I live on the islands of Jamaica. I love to live my life as if it's one big tropical vacation. The beach, the palm trees, the excellent weather, and especially the ladies; these, among others, are reasons why I left my life as a student in Sacramento to become a snow-cone retailer in the BEEAUTIFUL island of Jamaica. No need to worry about school, a career, and responsibilities. Life here is just one tropical dream. No worries mon! Hakuna matata!

Hi!
I'd like to introduce you to Amber.
She lives her life without a care in the world. The current state of the American government leaves her no cause for alarm. She is unfazed by both political and global circumstances. In fact, when recently asked about her stance on the greenhouse effect she replied with a smile and a sigh, "When I have a house I'd like it to be eggshell with pink shutters.." In her free time Amber likes to lay out in the sun, drink apple martinis, and daydream of her prince charming (who bears a striking resemblance to Justin Timberlake). In fact, there isn't anything that she allows to bring her down. Amber is living proof that ignorance is bliss.

( but you can call me Mo:) )
Allow me to introduce Kate. Born into a bicultural world, Kate walks a tightrope between the 2 cultures, which often have values at opposite ends. Yet, Kate is able to balance both worlds with tact, grace, and aplomb. She has retained all the stories, traditions, and values of the culture that has enabled her to build a solid foundation, but Kate is also a woman of the 21st century. Articulate and confident, Kate isn’t weighed down or influenced by the opinions of those around her. Kate is a humanitarian, a worldly traveler, and a connoisseur of exotic dishes. Kate is also a voracious reader, learner, and educator with the patience and kindness of..a saint. =)

Jade isn't really someone you can sum up in a line or paragraph; so let me let you see her... in a poem; see if you can figure out what defines her:
(As The Tiger Walked
Under The Moon)
As the Tiger walked under the Moon...
Treading an earthy floor that was strewn with Shadows...
The Stars appearing...
Like arrows in the Sea of night...
On fire in flight...
The sight be-dazzling...
Paw prints traveling through a Forgotten World...
& all the while no sound was heard, except the rushing of water...
That stirred within the Tigers' depths...
Of eyes that looked as though they wanted to forget...
The way it was...
Those walks before...
That time dispelled upon a shore...
Of ocean's deep...
Of an un-quelled tide...
Never subsiding...
Always dividing within itself...
& tore away the way things seem...
For the Moonlight unveils how everything came into being...
Streaming brilliance like so many beams...
The dream of a dream...
& as these beams touched the seams of fur...
A sudden blur of light occurred...
Suddenly revealing...
The Tiger was bleeding...
As it walked under the Moon...
*Jazzy*

Cathy loves herself more than any other. Loves mushrooms, tomatoes, capers and cats. She is patient and gets along with everybody, especially family members, believing they can do no wrong. She has gads of friends and loves to leave the house. Hates reading and watching tv, prefers to play chess or golf instead. She works out every single day and never argues with her husband. In fact they have never argued due to their flawless communication skills. She basically has a perfect life.

There is no a problem to tuff. No obstacle to big, no job to dangerous. Not for Dynamite Boy! Dynamite Boy goes where needed. When someone is having a difficult time in life he is able to blow those problems away. There is no sleep for him because his help is always needed.

When I go to bed at night, I wake up to my chest hair growing. I tear my shirt off and turn into a warewolf. I run out into the swamps where I look for prey. My teeth are yellow and snareling. My eyes are translucent, and focus on the prey. I howl and attack, and sleep I do not. At 5:00 A.M. my alarm goes off, and I put on my postal uniform and head into work. I often wonder why I have become this lurking beast. Maybe the saliva from that pitbull bite got to my head. I fear that I have become my own worst enemy. But now it's time to go deliver some mail.
Ryan Sack forgot to post his name he is the warewolf.

Allow me to introduce you to my girl C-M-A(pronounced see-ma). C-M-A is the diva of all diva's, is never at a loss for words, and has the answers to everyone's questions even before you ask it. C-M-A's main purpose in life is to motivate others and prides herself in helping those who suffer from issues of self esteem and self worth.C-M-A takes pride in not only those around her but also the environment. Although a quite year for her thus far, she waits patiently for the next poor soul to wander her way for enlightment (she helped Whitney Houston to finally dump Bobby Brown earlier this year).

Hello my name is Guenevere the Great. First name: Guenevere; Middle Name: The; Last name: Great. A few things that you should know about me is that I am a lover of poetry especially the kind-ED that rhymed-ED. I enjoy meeting new people; especially those who are very different from me. I am a very social being and believe that one of the greatest things about life is being able to be influenced by a diverse group of peoples. It allows me to be open to different ideas. Right now i am on my quest of destiny to become the greatest chef on the planet, giving Chef Boyardee a run for his money.

humerous, and great. Pleasing to the audience, however Sam my publisher is better. Sam is a interesting writer, however she needs a course in public speaking. Sam would
benefit by taking a public speaking course from Sandra Wheeler. Sincerely, Lori Maher
I'll like to introduce you to Chebo. She is an intelligent person, but, extremely high strung and opinionated. Although she may seem logical and coherent, she often protrays herself as a ranting lunatic, mad at the world, at everything and anything. However, she has an amazing personality, one that everyone loves most about her. She loves to smile, and laughs frequently, finding amusement and joy in everything that she does. And even though, she always has a great aura of confidence and self-esteem, she has the same insecurities and imperfections as everyone else, she just likes to overlook them more than she does dwelling on them. However, this package comes with a bottle of tylenol and often times you might feel like taking more than what's reccomended, but in the end, it's a great feeling to just hear her laugh, and smile that beautiful smile of hers. She's an amazing person, and it feels great to have shared a part of my life with her, and I hope that everyone gets to meet someone just like her, as I have.

I want to introduce everyone to Twix. Twix has been my imaginary best friend since I was 4 years old. Now she is not just your ordinary imaginary friend, Twix is one of a kind, she enjoys reading magazines, watching soap operas (one life to live, its her favorite), and eating oreos with pudding. She has always dreamed of being in a circus, which is kind of wierd because she has never been to one. Her favorite movie is "Hairspray", but she wourld never use it, and one of these days she hopes to marry my brother. Twix is my best friend and I would trade her for anything.

Let me introduce you my alter-ego, Kobe chan. He is active, creative and passionated. He likes sports especially table-tennis which is also my favorite hobby. When he plays sports with me, we always feels no stress or bad feelings. Helping people and kind to everyone makes me enjoy being with him. In a common way that he is good at mathematics just like other guys but I found his real reason of doing good in mathematics which is always think about what he does not understand and sure that he seek for answer, sometimes by himself or with help from professors.
