A Nice Postcard From Paris

Who (or what) Are You?

To some people these are important – I have even seen them on gravestones. To some, their title is important. Some people have more titles and post-nominal letters than name. Sometimes people even become those letters and titles. Yet, am I really a bachelor of science, a master of arts or a doctor of philosophy? At the end of the day, I am not just 'me', I am just 'I'.
