Reflections

The Reflections unit is, as the name indicates, self-reflective. It focuses on answering the question “Who am I?” through many diverse projects, be it through writing, photography, or video editing. In English, for example, we studied essays from a diverse set of authors to write our own based on our personal beliefs. We later recorded ourselves reading it out loud and edited a “This I Believe” video to represent our ideas.

During this unit, I valued having some creative space to explore parts of myself I hadn’t stopped to think about before, especially through writing. I reflected on my interactions with emotional vulnerability and perfectionism in particular.
