identity



             People say a picture is worth a thousand words. This is a picture of me that represents me as a senior which has lots of symbols.  In this picture I place my hand on my shoulder with a religious bracelet on my wrist. This shows that I want to have a strong faith all my life and be able to make the right decisions. Also, I am wearing glasses to show education, and the earrings I am wearing are dream catchers because I want to be someone who never stops following my dreams. As a senior, I want to be happy and confident. I want to go through life with my glass half full.

          Griet in the Girl With a Pearl Earring is a strong mature young girl. She makes many hard decisions and is mature in so many ways. (page 45) "She will rest for a few days. Can you manage without her?"  I chose with quote because, just like Griet, I don't want to work my life away and become invested in worldly objects I want to be strong enough to stand up for myself and say when I need a break.

                 (page 106) "She wont need a key" I, personally, interpreted this quote differently than others might have, but I feel I want to leave every door open I don't want to be some one who moves on but forgets about the past or in other words closes the door. I want to leave foot steps in my life where I will be remembered and will never regret my decisions. Everyone sees life differently but you just have to live life to the fullest, from your perspective, and I hope as a senior I am a confident, happy girl who knows where she wants life to take her.

  2. Maddi, I love your picture it's stunning! I love the idea behind the bracelet and earrings. I plan on following my faith as well. I believe that you will follow your dreams because you are very optimistic, hard-working and open-minded. I have loved creating this friendship with you. I'm extremely happy you moved to Jackson because you are pretty much my best friend. Love the blog and picture too, you put lot of thought into it.
