Biography of Me
As you now know, my name is Andrea. I am an 18 year old
microbiology major at the University of Texas at Austin. My Topics In Writing
class has been assigned to together create a web site that will give you, the
public, more information concerning "Generation X". I am part of this new
generation and am therefore angered by the media's lack of sensitivity to our
situation. Like many "Generation Xers", I am financially, as well as mentally,
struggling through college. I am appalled to hear the media wrongly accuse our
entire generation of being lazy or self-centered. Yes, maybe we did have more
opportunities than our predecessors, but so what. Isn't that how it is supposed
to be? Every generation bettering themselves until we achieve a "utopian society"
(if ever one will exist)? Is this a reason to lay blame on our entire generation
for the social as well as economical restraints of today? This is how I feel, I
am angry. I hope that this web site will provide you with a better understanding
of our generation and and maybe even an appreciation for it.
I chose fashion of
the new generation as my topic because to me this is not just a style of clothing,
but the way some generation x members choose to express themselves. Often parents
of generation Xers don't see the importance of individualism. This is what I
believe seperates our generation from others, the ever present desire to stand out
in this world.
I hope you find this site useful in some way or another. If
not, I apologize.
