I thought the introductions were a good way for everyone to learn a little bit about each other. I didn't introduce anyone, but when I was being introduced I was a little nervous. I have no regrets, and I would not emphasize anything else if I had to do it over again.
The introductions were a fun way to learn things about the kids in the class. the introducing was easy because everyone in the class was respectful, and being introduced was fine. I wouldn't emphasize anything else if i had to do do it again
I had fun today!I enjoyed introducing a new friend and learning more about the said person. It was unique and new way to get to know about other people than the usual way. :D
I don't really enjoy talking in front of a class but it was okay as well as my experience of being introduced. I don't really have any regrets and I don't think I would emphasize if I had t o do it over again.
Honestly, I hate talking in front of a class, or any large group for that matter. Giving speeches makes me horribly nervous. It helps being in a smaller class. As such, being introduced to the class did for sure make me nervous.

ASSIGNMENT #1: MAKE A COMMENT!
Using family-appropriate language - and leaving your first & last name associated with your remark - add a Comment to this blog: under & to the right of the "PureLife" post.
Your Comment should be a reflection on the experience of introducing someone, and about the experience of being introduced. How did it feel? Do you have any regrets? What would you emphasize if you had it do to over again?
