With today being a new term, I had the students scribble on the question: What does my ____________ reveal about me? This is what I wrote.
One thing that people often notice about me is my hair. I’ve
had a blue streak in my hair for about three years. All I’m going to say about
it is this: My hair is more of a decoy than a clue to my personality. Most of
my students this year assumed that I was a different person than I really am
just because of the blue streak – for example, they assumed I wasn’t a member
of the dominant religion. Having blue hair makes you seem like a rebel – but at
the end of the day, I’m pretty laid back. I would definitely NOT call myself a
conservative though – I’m pretty liberal these days – liberal in my love for my
fellowman, to quote my husband’s mother. As for my hairstyle, it’s more a
function of ease of care than anything else. For the past 15 or so years, I’ve
had my hair pretty short – as a matter of fact, for the past few years it’s
continued to get shorter and shorter all the time. This is entirely a matter of
ease of care rather than fashion. My hair is fine and curly, and it tends to
look better if it’s short – when it is long it just starts to go crazy.
Literally.
