  10. Things to Consider • Be Original -- Do Not copy a saying or a phrase • Be Thoughtful – Give more than “I like rainbows and pretty butterflies.” or “Playing sports is my entire life.” • Be Creative – Your six words should reflect who you are/your life experience. In addition, your presentation should also reflect your words.
