Hopes and Goals i had in the BEGINNING of year
This is the year where many decisions are set in stone and lain upon the foundation of my life. So the chooses I make now will ripple across my life and influence it dramatically. I hope to really struggle and learn to adapt to challenges in order to be prepared for the stressful battle that is college. Other than looking to the future I would like to look within as well. Getting to know yourself is a huge chapter in your high school experience and one I have yet to read through. I know that once I understand myself I will be able to take the right paths or at list the ones I won't regret.
memorable MEMORY
It was the first week of school I was nervous, exited and a little scared when walking into my new class for this year. The teachers had invited a theater teacher to give us a class that would get us out of our confront zone. The games we participated in were very strange but in the end we all had fun. The games taught us to no be afraid when talking to new people and it made the unfamiliar class room a safe place to be yourself. I had a lot of fun that day and it was my first week so it became a special memory.
how i have evolved as a student
Through the literature we have read this semester, I have found a deeper understanding of the human mind and what the human is capable, of how their power can be exercised to be use for good or evil. I connected, agreed and disagreed with certain messages in the reading material we were given. I questioned who I really was, was I a product of others before me or am I naturally my own person. All by diving into into the thoughts of someone else's mind. Reading Lord of the Flies and Frankenstein lead me to believe that anyone could end up making evil acts b/c of what situation they were dealt. I become more sympathetic to others and their situations.
My observation skills have been sharpened to a point and therefor have affected my abilities as a drawer. I have learned how to explore the complexity that is the human body down to a molecular level. Consuming information through research or observation, digesting it by breaking it down so it is easier to understand. Adsorbing it by seeing and connecting it to different systems. Finding how it connects and works together to maintain homeostasis. Growing out of the state of mind that organs are just like their picture. Allowing me to understand the bigger picture within me.
I have learned to appreciate this very moment, that I’m OK. That I don't have something haunting my mind or an experience pulling me down. Because of the way my family has sheltered me and because of how my religion has keep me safe from the world. I have created a bubble in my mind where all the bad stuffs is outside of it and I’m safe inside. Hearing the stories and life experiences of the classmates that usually sit right next to me has burst that bubble of safety I’ve created in my mind. The illusion that I’m safe because nothing has happened so far is nothing but a thin sphere of liquid protecting me from the truth. I remember how I cried and could stop crying when we had the first critique group in the project. It was after hear the first story but to be far is was very strong. I think it was in that moment that my illusion fell apart. It made me realize how blessed I am and how quickly that might change. Life is really ironic because it take sadness to know what happiness is.
