Going into Senior year, students are surrounded with uncertainties. We are all becoming aware of who we are as people as we come to the end of being students, well at least high school students. As I began working on college apps I have been constantly faced with the question, who am I. At Freestyle we began a unit that revolved around that very question. Beginning in English, we where given the time to work on our college personal essay, with lessons focusing on how to condense an entire human existence into 650 words. In Digital Media we began working on a mandala, which as I have learned is a peaceful experience that can be done with minimal artistic skills, it is meditative. In film we did a project similar to the English essay, that included producing a film with a narration to convey our feelings towards the world around us. Through this project I have learned that I am a flexible person with many different personalities and friendships. This makes college apps very difficult asI have discovered myself to be more than an archetype. In English, our process began with a brainstorming challenge called the essence objects list. This asked us to write a list of objects that reflect us. This was mine:
- My Cat
- Records
- Black Belt
- Movies
- Santa Fe Soup
- Tarot Cards
- B… my teddy bear 🙂
- Jason Voorhees mask
- Shrek doll
- Superman Cape
- Old Bay Spice
- Orioles Hat
- Drive-in Movie Ticket
- My Grandma (not an object but whatever)
- Quilt
- Hallmark xmas movies
