I myself have many discourses. I act differently around different people.

Discourse
A Discourse according to James Paul Gee in "Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics: Introduction and What Is Literacy?" is saying-writing-doing-being-valuing-believing combinations. This helps us prepare for college by letting us learn about new things and having different Discourses is good because it teaches us new things about new people. You also have to learn new discourses in order to prepare yourself for the challenges that college brings. For example, you have to learn how to interact with new people and learn how to live on your own. You cant depend on anyone but yourself.
