Missin from the Powerpoint

After discussing what I forgot to add in my powerpoint cultural identity map.. I have decided to list some of the aspects here.

1. emphasis on chocolate- I don't think I mentioned how I basically cannot live without a piece of chocolate daily. It cheers me up, keeps me in a great mood, and makes all of the stress in my life melt in my mouth and disappear.

2. where I live- I completely forgot to share my geographical background. I was born and raised in the Chicago Northwest suburbs, and lived a very sheltered childhood. College was a big culture shock for me, but the best experience in my entire life. I am so glad I went away to school and decided not to stick around for a community college near home. I am desperate to travel and one day I would like to live out of state just to see what it would be like.

3. I don't think I mentioned my goals after completing my studies at ISU. I would love to find a job with Technical Writing and then write creatively on the side. One day I would like to write a book, but given my writer's block throughout most of my education here, we shall see how that goes.

4. I didn't mention the importance of my family and friends in my life, how they have shaped me into the person I am today, and I know I can turn to them with anything and they will help me out.

5. I forgot to add how much I enjoy sitting around with a group of friends and drinking wine, or how I love Irish pubs and grabbing a pint there to relax after a stressful week.

I can't help but wonder why I forgot to mention any of the above in my powerpoint slides. They are certainly important aspects of who I am as a person, but as I was creating the project, it just slipped my mind! I forgot. Very strange.
