            Language Autobiography

            I think the way I choose to talk and communicate with the world around me is very unique and is a strong personality trait of mine. It’s a way of expression, the combination of the slang terms I say and the way I pronounce them one hundred percent Daniel Byrd. The way I choose to speak is language terms, phrases, and sounds I’ve learned since I was able to adapt to different peoples “lingo” and what they meant by that. Another unique trait about the way I speak is my choice of words; I often come off ass very blunt, to the point, and for the most part aggressive. Mainly because of techniques used on me growing up when. I was dealt with fairly aggressively which is where I picked up such emphasis in the way I speak when I’m angry. I think the way I talk can be powerful, but often I see that not talking at all can be just a powerful or send a louder and deeper message in certain cases. In my house hold the words I choose to say can often cause an argument with my mother due to cursing but I have different views than her about cursing and I think I should feel safe to do it anywhere especially my own home. Depending on the environment I am currently engaging in I will speak accordingly. Although sometimes I slip up and get myself in trouble, in school and other important places where I am representing myself as a Professional, I tend to change the way I talk to a more proper English, to show an educated background. One adjective that is used these days a lot of people know me for, and that word is bangin’ it means good  “this is a bangin cheese steak” or to have “a bangin’ time” I practically say it every other 12 sentences. Someone meeting me for the first time and having a conversation with me would probably think I am some Philadelphia kid who is probably up to no good. I believe my intimate persona is much more open about who I am opposed to my public person which is more about what I do currently and why, it in a way plays itself out as a defense mechanism showing that I don’t want many people to know who I really am. It can also show how important they are to me. As imperfect and yet powerful my voice is I am proud for having it. Word.
