<p>I'm sure you'd all like to get to know one another as soon as possible. Personally, I'm curious about all of you, your backgrounds, etc. So, if you'll indulge me, I'd love to know the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Where are you from?</li>
<li>What do you hope to study?</li>
<li>Two or three things that you love to do for fun.</li>

<li>I am going Rogue here, no that is not the title of Sarah Palins new book(which i wouldn’t read under gunpoint), but rather I naming an author and another book instead: Issac Asimov (per “Foundation” & “I, Robot”) and “Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation” by Jonathan Kozol </li>
<li>I am an award-winning filmmaker</li>
</ol>
<p>True story: Kozol’s less successful first cousin was my AP history teacher in 10th grade.</p>
<p>No way. That’s awesome! Was Kozol’s relative anything like him?</p>
<p>Not enough like him, if you ask me.</p>

</ol>
<p>@Motame how did you learn Brazilian Portuguese? That’s awesome!</p>
<p>to6284 - My mom’s side of the family is Brazilian. I frequently spent the summer there growing up, but haven’t been since I was about 13. That’s about where my Portuguese stopped developing, so I can hold a conversation and probably order dinner easily but discussing literature or public policy might be a little beyond my vocabulary. We’ll have to find some good Brazilian food in NYC to grub out on.</p>
