My Self Concept: Speech in a Brown Bag.
Many people are reminded about a specific event or time period in their lives when they see an object or maybe go to a specific place. When reflecting back on my life I remember many different time periods of my life, each of which reminds me of a specific memory. Many items remind me of these memories. For instance when I was younger, among being constantly busy going to soccer practice or game and playing with my friends or occasionally doing school work. One thing that I remember doing quite often, was going snowboarding. In my opinion snowboarding is one of the most amazing sports you can do, due to the exhilarating feeling that comes with it. The feeling of gliding over the snow at high speeds and then carving yourself into the mountain while you whip across the hill with the freezing cold wind on your face is the best feeling in the world. The feeling of the perfect mixture of complete peace and reckless danger tangled into one. An exciting thrill wholly described as bliss.
This is why I picked a snowboard as the object I believe best represents who I was and what I loved to do during that time period in my life. A time period when I had the ultimate freedoms to do what I enjoyed. Childhood should be filled with fun, excitement, and laughter and I know that I most definitely experienced as much as I could. For my present day item to represent my life I believe the best object would be a bald eagle. A bald eagle is the top of the food chain, flying high above the trees as free as a bird. A bald eagle to me represents freedom. Freedom to do as I please just as the bald eagle flies as free as he can be. No one besides the eagle himself determines what path he may fly or what animal he may swoop down and devour. Since I just recently moved to Orlando for college and at this time in my life I am experiencing the most freedom and flexibility my life has ever had. I think this is why an eagle would be the best item to represent me and my self concept at

    We have the bible, pictures of the school, the Episcopal and American flag, and a icon. The bible symbolizes the christianity of the school, and shows our love for God. The pictures of the school will show the future people what our school looks like, and will provide some pictures that will be very valuable in the future. We put the Episcopal flag in the time capsule because we are an Episcopal school. We want the flag to be one of the most important things in our time capsule. We also put the American flag in the time capsule because we are proud to be an American school. The icon was done by our incredible art teacher. It took her very long to finish, but we were all very amazed by the beautiful and sacred…

    About 2,500 miles east lies the cold and rainy city of Canton, Ohio. The majority of my childhood was spent inside the house as Ohio was not ideal for outdoor adventure. Although, after turning 6, I was introduced to snow skiing . It became an enjoyable hobby of mine for years. Skiing opened my eyes to the beauty of nature and the serenity it provided. I loved the smell of fresh air and the exhilarating feeling of gliding down the mountain. It is a very peaceful sport and provides a silence away from everyday life. Coincidentally, I learned of ski club in middle school where I could ski with several other students that enjoyed this exercise as well. I joined the club and looked forward to the weekly Sunday trips. It showed the importance…

    The fourth object that I chose to represent me are my Girl Scout Vests. The vests represent me because I have been in a Girl Scout Troop since the beginning. As some people would say “I was an original”. By that I mean that I was one of the starters of the troop as well as my friend Marin. I have earned tons of badges over the years, and each one led me to a new adventure.…

    As I glide across the snow feeling the cool crisp wind running through my coat. My dad and I always go up north once a year to go snowmobiling. Preparing for our snowmobile trip took forever. We always over packed and brought everything from sleeping bags, food, clothing, and gas for ourselves and snowmobiles, but when we were finished we hit the road. My dad drove in one truck with the snowmobiles and I drove in another truck hauling our camper for the three hour drive. That year was going to be different I knew it; we got more snow than we had in over 5 years.…

    When most people think about a significant experience as something like; studying abroad, taking vacations, or meeting new people. Now while I have met many types of people and traveled quite a bit, none of these experiences have been nearly as significant to me as my childhood. I lived in a small, falling apart, purple house in the heart of Bessemer that was perfect because it is all we could afford. This house and neighborhood forced me to be resourceful and it taught me that nothing in my life is going to come without hard work. Those lessons crafted me into the industrious, diligent, and determined person that I am today.…

    The ones that I embrace are individualism because what you put into life will make you better than what you are. If you push yourself to do better in life then the overall outcome is huge. Along with this is achievement and success. If you push yourself (individual) then you will have success in life as well. Another one that I embrace is freedom and liberty because without these then you are not restricted to do what you want. If there was not freedom then we would be told what, when and how to do things in life.…

    I drew a picture that I think best resembles one of the things that I am most thankful for: freedom. When I think of freedom, I think of the White House, because that is one of the major icons of this country. I also think of a fighter jet (the F-15E specifically because my dad is in the Air Force and that is the jet that he flies.) Another thing that I think of is the U.S capitol building, with its huge, massive structure and its magnificent dome looming over Washington D.C, symbolizing the great power and freedom that we have. Also, a red cross and a modern hospital representing the first-class healthcare that we have is another icon that I drew representing freedom and our great nation. A wooden cross logged into the top of a hill with…

    Growing up as a little kid I really didn’t have any toys or friends to play with. My dad works in construction, I asked him one day if he could built me a little play house for me, he told me that he would think about it. Until the next day he brought in some wood, nails, paint… so on and so forth to build the house. Now, this house was like no Barbie house, this house was a life size house for a little kid. I remember helping my dad drawing and building it to make it looked all pretty. The house look like a real house, it had a door with a door knob, and a window. The house could even fit in my blue chair with letters on it so I can go inside, sit down and eat my snacks in there. I loved it so much I would usually take my naps in there.…
