"Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude." -Jesse Jackson
Who Am I?
My Brain
- Although I use both the left and right side of my brain depending on the thought process necessary, I am most comfortable while using the left side of my brain. That means I am structured, analytical, intellectual, logical, and rational. However, sometimes I need to be more creative, spontaneous, outgoing, adventurous, and imaginative.
