Quinnipiac students are diverse in many ways. Not only are people diverse in their backgrounds and family lives but also in their personalities.

It was actually hard getting people to say what was unique or special about them. Human beings have a difficult time admitting the good things about themselves, but they are so quick to say such negative things. The students in this article opened up about their uniqueness, without letting their guards down to a stranger.

The students listed below have much more to offer than they shared, but chose a few unique tratis about themselves. You may be able to relate to some of the comments people made about themselves, and some may spark a laugh as well.

Ask yourself:

“What really makes me the person I am, that is completely different from anyone else.”

Joanna Backiel: “I am told by my roommates that I have a strong New York/Polish accent.”
