Self-Reflection

      Self-reflection is a common theme in our class now that we have started the Personal Portfolio Project and I have realized how much of myself I really either don't remember or understand. When starting this project my initial thoughts were, "How hard could this be?" and "It's a project about us, how could anyone struggle about writing about themselves?", now that I am much deeper into the project, I have realized what a struggle it could be to just think of ourselves for once. Where did we come from? Where are we going individually? What defines our lives and the world around us? These are all questions all of us probably will have to face at some point while doing this project. This project is being a great help for college personal statements, however, I have uncovered so much about myself that I have forgotten that could seriously aid me in my application process. My experience of the PPProject so far has been very confusing not because it is a difficult project to understand, but because I find myself difficult to understand.
