After his initial statement which was testing out the waters in this class he understood what this room was, a pressure cooker of different personalities from literally everywhere in the school. Receding back into the backdrop of the classroom environment, he made sure to keep his smile up for now as his mind juggled with what to do in this classroom. It was simply impossible to make a person entirely likable inside a classroom, for a mask can be made for a single-liked mind of individuals to be accepted into them and reconstructed many times. In classrooms like these there were too many conflicting personalities to simply incorporate into a single one, so you had to go with the majority. The best solution was to simply continue stick to an outgoing and happy go lucky attitude it seemed, besides he can change it when he needs it be.

Reviewing what he knew of the class a final time, he finally let his thoughts settled as he began to tune back into the lesson that Mr. Lehrer was trying to make everyone understand. The question itself was fairly simple if you really wanted to be quick and scratch the surface thoughts. In a more clinical glance from a psychological viewpoint, to understand yourself means that you must look at every angle in a general sense. 

To start, you must look at it from yourself and from the people that see you to determine who you really are from every perspective. There are things that you freely express and other people see which are the parts that you are most comfortable with, which is known as the 'arena' and then there are things that you hide from people and keep to yourself, the things you are not comfortable with which is called the 'facade'. However, it gets more complicated than that when people can also see things about you that you never knew about yourself, known as the 'blind spot' and a final portion of what both you or anyone else don't know that you have which is called the 'unknown'. Essentially, this was from a viewpoint of the Johari window which would have been a valid answer to toss at Mr. Lechrer but then again, gotta maintain appearances right? The question was only a portion of this technique but even then if he was overthinking it, this question was an effective one to trigger various depths of 'critical thinking' which was interesting to Kenneth for now. Having a rhetorical question is the best kind of question to stimulate responses on a wide level, it just so happened that this class is verbal about it...

With the class so far going to quite this fun in his head, perhaps it wouldn't be that bad considering if it continued to be like this. Even some of his peers bothered him little, which he had marked as potential hazards for both the heart and mind such as the infamous Sebastian Scott and for very good reasons. There were a few more students in class whom he placed some markers on but so far it was fine so long he didn't get into any crosshairs, he'd be fine. Who was in his crosshairs, however, was someone he couldn't wait to try and learn about in his class since the beginning... 

After a handful of normal answers, some pouts and an existential crisis which he didn't expect, his hypothesis was correct so far. This was indeed a pressure cooker with a joyful bunch of personalities so far which he intended to savor each flavor. The lesson so far was perfectly drawing out the character of his peers and even him which was quite interesting to see. Unfortunately, there were a few things he disagreed with the lesson so far but he was willing to keep those in his mind for now. Either way, Mr. Lehrer just called for everyone to get into groups so why not just do that? It even seems like he found his group right now as he walked towards Winter as she called him over which he obliged in a slightly dramatic fashion. Walking up to them and listened in to their conversation...[/color]
