The definition of a monologue is a prolonged talk or discourse by a single speaker. Yet if I was to
stand in front of the class and talk about myself, then I would be speechless. When you speak about yourself, you’re expected to say something interesting and include unique facts about yourself, but if you know yourself really well, then are those facts actually unique to you? This is the dilemma I was confronted with when thinking about my monologue.
Back in October of 1992, I was born in a small town in Western Massachusetts. Part of my early childhood was spent in Poland,
as I lived there for a few years. Apart from that, I’ve lived in Amherst, Massachusetts my whole life. I have a younger brother, who’s almost identical to me, a side from the fact that I’m four years older. My passion my entire life has been basketball and it remains the most important thing in my life to this day.
Moving to New York was a huge change for me. I went from being a dependent, small-town kid, to an independent college student that must make decisions concerning my future, by myself. Life hasn’t been easy, but it’s definitely more exciting.
