When this unit was introduced to us, the main question of focus was <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Who am I?” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This was an answer I was unaware about. I found myself stuck between the past, who I was and who I wanted to be. There were pieces in my life that shaped me into the individual I am yet there are still parts that I want to improve on. It wasn’t until the personal essay unit we completed in English that throughout the process, I was able to gain better understanding on who I was. Through the various excerices we completed, I recognized the values in life that are the most important and how they show up. From this, I was also able to create what I wanted to express in the various projects I completed in Design, Digital Media, and English. I knew that I wanted all to reflect myself through various values and the lessons I gained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An excerise I wanted to highlight was the Essence Objects List where we wrote down various objects or things in life we found importance in: <\/p>\n\n\n\n -Shepi\/delle<\/p>\n\n\n\n -The green islamic pendants on the \u2018fake wood\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n -grandpa’s old school yugoslavian motorcycle and the chicken<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Joni, Dini and vini picture<\/p>\n\n\n\n -The clouds on the ceiling covered in a mist of orange in a little corner from the colored spray\/\/ clouds in the sky<\/p>\n\n\n\n -scarface<\/p>\n\n\n\n -frida kahlo <\/p>\n\n\n\n -Mariposa-Mana\/\/Mariposa-Hotel in Mexico\/\/Mariposa in general<\/p>\n\n\n\n -nail biting <\/p>\n\n\n\n -Bulgarian cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n -A1 sauce and diet coke<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Daja Zani dancing<\/p>\n\n\n\n -kuku (nene)<\/p>\n\n\n\n -bukorije<\/p>\n\n\n\n -broken tailbone<\/p>\n\n\n\n -mediterranean sea (more specifically the adriatic and jumping into the water with the cousins)<\/p>\n\n\n\n -alchemist<\/p>\n\n\n\n -evil eye bracelets from turkey (one being with a turtle and the other with a peace sign) <\/p>\n\n\n\n -handkerchief (bridal and grandmas)<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Djemba drums (from both Africa and Brasil) <\/p>\n\n\n\n – \u201cWhen life gets busy just take it easy\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n – 2000 blue volkswagen jetta <\/p>\n\n\n\n -bend it like beckham <\/p>\n\n\n\n -cevapi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n -dad\u2019s gold chain <\/p>\n\n\n\n -first gold metal at state cup tournament <\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking back, it is amazing to observe the amount of objects I found importance in. I notice a interesting relation in a majority of them which was to family. The objects were either directly connected to family or had a distinct connection that would remind of a memory that contained that object and them in it. This exercise allowed me to value the little things in life and recognize the amount of importance they can have.
