Mandala Research Paper

There are different ways to understand and see someone as they are as a person. Mandala’s are one of the ways I could present who I was before, now, and my aspirations for the future. There are four topics or categories that have a meaning in my life. The four topics are family traditions, sports, hobbies, and faith. There are two symbols that represent each category.

There are five symbols that are fundamentally important to whom I am. The first symbol would be my parents.
