Personal Logo

OK here. So now that I have completely lost all hope in the fact that my scanner is going to work, I have resorted to just taking a picture of it. Boring.

But here is my personal logo explaining how I view globalization & identity.

Let's start at the heart of the operation, the heart. The red heart represents that for one I love most things about me, & if different parts of the world will learn to love each other, the world will evolve; thus 'evolution'. If you can't tell, I used the two worlds as the headphone part to my headphones. I used two worlds to show that there are two main different views of the world. It can be perceived as good, where nothing is wrong with it, or it can be perceived as troubled, which in reality is how it is. I actually used the headphones & heart, representing music & love because those are huge parts of who I am. I live for music. Finally, the wings. As an individual, I am always learning & growing, expanding my knowledge. As for viewing the world, they represent that if we all work together, & respect others ideas & thoughts, we will be more successful.

PS: sorry for it being so late. You know how technology can be (: 

Life is a highway, & I wanna ride it

    

Personal Reflection 

      Humanities 10 is like a highway. It will take you as far as you want to go, & not push you to go anywhere else; but if you want to continue to pursue your journey, the opportunity will present itself. I have been asked to reflect upon my strengths, weaknesses, successes & concerns for a personal reflection. In my world, strengths & successes compliment each other & are directly related. Therefore I am going to write these two together. The more difficult portion of this assignment is to identify my weaknesses & concerns.

I have a hard time writing these words, but, concerns & weaknessess are more directly related to my successess & strengths. Thus, the term reflection.

     First off, one of my strengths I have identified right from day one is that I do know alot about the going ons of the world, economy, & their surrounding issues. Because I have paid attention to those points in the current events, I feel some of my successes have been related to being on a team & the input needed to be successful. I have also learned that I have strengths in the area of holding an argument in class, supported by fact information. Another strength I behold is that I have the ability to keep my mouth shut. Not in a bad way, where I don't express what I'm thinking, but to the point where I respect what others are saying, & try to see things from their point of view. Either to just see something from a different perspective, or also to add & to support my own ideas.

     Now that I have expressed my strengths & successes, weaknesses & concerns come into play. I have considered the idea that I possibly just don't want to accept that there are things not going my way, or that there are things I need to work on, but as always, there are things to improve on & tweak. I'm not very good at identifying things I need work on, so to start this paragraph is a bit of a challenge. One of my concerns, & always has been, is that I don't fully apply myself to all things, & that is also one of my weaknesses that also is a concern for me in this course. Why? I tend to get a little full of myself at times, therefore, thinking a small amount of effort will get me far. Clearly in Humanities that is not going to work. That is partially the reason that I asked to be a part of this class, I wanted to challenge myself in a way many people wouldn't understand. As I look forward, I am anxious see what I can produce, but mostly to see how I can grow.

     All in all, this class is a challenge, which is exactly what someone like me needs. There have been times where I have used the security blanket of others to fall back on. In Humanities, I have felt that others are not there to fall back on, but to catch you when you fall, to help you get back up & continue on your journey.

Unexamined life : Part 3

This is my visual representation for The Unexamined Life: Part 3.

The largest picture, the represents the 'sisters' portion of my 5, the 4 photos on the right, are picture's I have taken, representing 'photography'. The pinky promise is pretty self explanatory, it shows 'trust'. The Chief is the logo of where I played AAA last season for 'hockey', in Red Deer. & finally, the smiley face shows that I am 'outgoing' & willing to learn new things, always open minded.
