  34. Who I am my tastes in music • I have always loved music since I was young. My first favorite group was New Kids on the Block!  I am a die-hard fan.  • I find as I age, I like more varieties of music. I don't restrict myself to one kind, as I did when I was younger.  • My music preferences have expanded throughout the years, from New Kids on the block to John Mayer, Jordan Knight, Shania Twain, and Clay Aiken.

  35. Who I am my tastes in music (continued) • I have attended so many concerts, but two of my favorites were Jordan Knight and Clay Aiken. They were both extraordinary concerts, they will always hold a place in my heart. • While it is true that I will never like hard rock, country, or rap, my tastes in music will keep growing within a certain range.  • But like old, comfortable shoes, I will always go back to my favorites because they reflect very special parts of my life! 

  36. Who I am as a presenter • I have presented at PEC since I was 9 years old on a variety of topics, most recently I have been speaking about my college experiences. • I even spoke at my graduation ceremony at the Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh! Saying goodbye to my second family was very hard on that day.  I, along with everyone else who knew me, cried when I gave my graduation speech.  • In 2005, I presented with Michael Williams during a panel discussion about college. I spoke about the benefits of using multimodal communication across the many college environments that I encounter.

  37. Attending orientation • BAL did not attend orientation
