Blog # 1- Who Are You?

(Sankofa symbol from Adinkra symbols in West Africa)

Students,

Please read and answer the following questions in a new post on your blog entitled "Who Are You?" (Hint: You may copy and paste these questions and answers to your blog and just change the answers to suit you.) I have answered these questions in regards to myself so that you are able to get a little more insight into who I am and some of the people and things that inspire me. I hope to be able to do the same thing for you, so please take this seriously. No one else will read your answers unless you allow them to do so. Please respect each other and do not lean over and read your neighbors work. Have fun.

Sincerely,

Ms. Smith
