Project reflection:
For this project we were given the task to express our personal philosophy through any medium we wished. The essential question that my project was seeking to answer was to help people realize that they have unlimited power with in themselves and I wanted to help them realize that and its possible that they can achieve anything that they put their mind to. The inspiration that I had behind this project was that I wanted to be able to let people know that they have lots of greatness, creativeness, and goodness inside of them. I hear lots of people saying that they wish they could draw like me and I say to them that they can. You can do it, your just in the wrong state of mine. If you start to believe in yourself and tell yourself its possible then you can accomplish anything. People need to challenge themselves so that they can prove to themselves that its possible that they can do it. So for my project I decided to do a speech to inspire them that they can do anything while showing them examples of peoples achievements.
New insights:
The new insights that I developed during this project was to have the courage to question and go more in depth about everything around us such as the government, where are food comes from, and religion. Before I came into this project I was mainly focusing on learning about life what the purpose of life is. I really wanted to know what the purpose of life was and that was my main thing that I wanted to really know. When the class would have a seminar about life or a topic about the greater power up above, I mainly wanted to only believe in my options. But its really important to listen to other peoples opinions and beliefs because that way you are able to develop these skills early in life. You have to be open minded about others and not close minded or else you wont be able to learn anything different or new. Another main thing that I took away from this project was when I was in Chemistry class and Steve showed us this computer program that was able to show you the size of everything, starting from a size of any atom going all the way out into the universe. When I first saw this program it blew my mind! I realized that I am so small in this world and it really made me wonder about what else is out there besides of what we already know? Through out this project I really wanted to get answers to these questions I had and answers and explanations about all the beliefs that we learned about. But I son discovered that I would be the only one to decide if I wanted to believe in it and choose to except these answers and explanations. Though I was able to get answers, I was still able to expand my mind on these world topics.
Further questions and intellectual work left do:
My further intellectual work regarding this project will be solely individual. I believe that from this point on, answering my own questions will be up to me, even if I don`t find all the answers and options . To me the main important thing is that I gain a better understanding of what makes me human. In order to find my own meaning I must bring out my full potential in order to find a purpose bigger than myself.
