Analyzing My Final Journey

Improved Essays
The process of picking items for this project was a very difficult task. Along with this, deciding what would be most needed on my final journey and what would be hard to leave behind was a very long and thoughtful process.

Along with this, it would be very hard to say goodbye to my puppy as she has been my best friend for a long time. The third group of items that I have chosen are to represent my roots. I have old photos of those from my hometown who have a very special spot in my heart. I also packed the state of Minnesota to show where my roots lie. These roots have determined who I have grown to become and represent where my final journey will hopefully take place, in my hometown with my community. Next, it’s to represent my love for enlightening places was chosen. I have a wandering soul and I enjoy to travel and find myself in different places all over this great world. To leave this, what I love to do, behind is hard because it has made up so much of who I am. The next component is that of music. This is to represent my need of having no silence while on my final journey. I understand there is sometimes a need for silence while in life, but I would rather have my favorite music playing as I take my journey to my afterlife. I have always enjoyed having background noise around me when I sleep and I will need that until my last day. Next, I have been known for being down to earth in multiple

We then reached the last hill, which was more like a mountain, we knew over and we had reached our final destination. Looking upon our destination from the top of the mountain, it looked just like a castle that was constructed from the forest. Wooden and damp, from the skies crying the previous night. Smiles that reached our faces upon looking out at the castle, were the same shape as a crescent moon.…

    Photos on file and trinkets in hand I came back to the U.S. feeling excited knowing I experienced situations that not many people go through or have the means to do so. If given the chance to expose myself to cultures other than my own I tend to jump at the opportunity given the amount of time, money, and risk I am willing to give and/or accept. Alongside experiences I also like to gather trinkets and/or souvenirs of my endeavors. Physical reminders of what I have experienced brings me a lot of joy. I don’t need these objects in order to gain anything out of the experiences but they help a great deal in expressing my love and appreciation for being a part of them.…

    Throughout my entire sophomore year at Collegiate High School, I feel as if my most creative assignment was creating a personal symbol. On April 8, 2016 during Stress-Free Friday, we had to answer questions about ourselves that we most likely had not thought of before. These questions included topics such as your personal life, your family life, and what you have been taught over the years. While looking back on these questions, I realized a plethora of people are credited with helping me grow up and teaching me life lessons. These questions brought to light just how important these people are, for they built up my personality.…
