I have to do a biography of someone for a class of mine. Supposedly, I'm supposed to write about someone who has a significantly different cultural identity/life outlook than myself. Preferably someone of a different age-group (probably older since I'm only 22), different race, yadda yadda, you get it.

So let me tell you a little about myself so you know if you qualify:

-I'm 22.
-I'm a grad student at the University of Colorado (studying history and secondary education)
-I'm white
-I know everybody says theyre middle class, but I'm about as middle class as you can get (parents brought in probably 65k together anually)
-I'm financially independent (i.e. poor, I made under 8k last year)
-I don't adhere to a particular faith (I think I'm athiest, but the jury is still out), but my families (both mom & dads sides, but not my parents themselves) are/were Belgian/German Catholic.
-my parents are divorced


So if you think youre different from me in any major way (doesn't have to be every way), and you're willing to put up with a couple short interviews via PM or (preferably AIM). Let me know, and I'll prepare some questions. I'd like to say I'll reward you with some kind of fabulous prize, but I lack fabulous prizes, so it'll probably just be a "kindness of your heart" sorta thing.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

try and get nightshade to do it...he's led and eventful life so that would make a good report.

 

thx. I'm sure he'll see this thread, so I'll let him decide.

i suppose it should probably also be mentioned that, politically, I fall somewhere between 'liberal' and 'critical theorist' (somebody who thinks that major revisions in political, and to a lesser extent, social structure are needed)

 

im 21
jr at CSUH
im chinese
if you are looking at income tax numbers, we are upper lower class
im with you in the financially independent department
i dont know much or care much for religion
my parents are buddist
my parents are married.
my name is william


im somewhat different from you, but like arbie said, someone who is much much much much older (nightshade) would probably make for a more interesting paper.

 

as far as I can tell, your asian persuasion is the only real difference. I think its supposed to be more different than that. But thanks for offering. :thumbup:

 

fine. dont get to know me. :sad:
