This is a story about split-personality disorder. Whether we realize it or not, we all suffer from it in one form or another, the greatest example of which will be splayed all over the campus this coming weekend.
Most people undergo a rapid transformation when their parents are around.
They play very different roles with their peers in comparison with when they are with parents. Although some are able to maintain a constant personality regardless of situation or circumstance, the majority of human beings take on a markedly altered persona when situated in the vicinity of Mom and Dad. My parents have been here to visit me a few times over the last three years, but I will not be graced with their presence this year on Parent s Weekend. Although I hate to admit to my shift in attitude around them, I know that I am pretty much an entirely different person when I am with my family. I grew up in a home with an intense amount of discipline.
