I think you went a bit off topic with Cronkite.

I kinda did, I'm working on bringing it back in, but I really like Cronkite.. I don't necessarily look up to him, but he is an idol of sorts for me.

You're one of THOSE guys... cigarette... Just skip class.

No, just take off where you started getting in depth about Cronkite.

I started retyping it after I mentioned the origin of my name :/ idk if I can actually relate it to Cronkite, and after reading what kat said, it really was kinda true. Oh well lol. I'll have both versions in the OP, Cronkite and non-Cronkite, so we can see which is better.

Updated the OP with a V2, so far I'm sort of liking this version more, sort of direct. I'll see how well I can write this one.

edit: I can't tell if the 8 one start people are giving me one star because of my writing, me, or just because of the subject.

not sure if that's a problem, but
Quote
I remember when I was five-years old, I met one of my uncles for the very first time; smart, funny, really nice but he would always tickle me and what-not. I remember one day when he and his family were staying over, he asked me what my name was, and in my shy little five-year old voice, I responded “I think it’s Steven…?” He proceeded to question me further, asking how I couldn’t be sure. I was really confused by this point, and I was at a complete lack of what to say.
is this considered too informal?
