Noncomformist

"Whosoever would be a man must be a nonconformist."-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being a noncomformist is  refusing to follow what people tell you and try to figure out why things are how they are.  If you only do what people tell you to do or if you let them persuade you, you aren't really your own person.  For instance: Tyler and Travis couldn't come up with their own names for these blogs so they used what Ms. Stegman said multiple times today during the rap battle: Turn on the Faucett.  Get more creative guys! That was cool when Stegman said it but it's a little overused now that BOTH of you stole it.
I find Emerson's quote to be true.  Life is no fun when you copy everyone else and follow all the rules.  Yea, there's rules you need to follow, but sometimes you have to rebel to help distinguish the person you're going to become.  When you conform to society, you lose your individuality.
