A new semester begins

A new semester brings a new crop of bloggers! Tomorrow in class students will be responding to the following prompt:

In the beginning of This Boy's Life, Tobias Wolff includes two quotations. One of them reads:

"The first duty in life is to assume a pose. What the second is, no one has yet discovered."
- Oscar Wilde

Do you "assume a pose" in your day-to-day life? Do you put on a different facade or assume a different personality around different groups of people or in different settings? Explain. Who, if anyone, do you show your "true" self to? Why?
