Intro

Throughout this project I’ve a lot about myself. I’ve never sat down and consecutively wrote and talked about my goals like I’ve done in this project. It’s guided me so much with learning about who I am now, who I want to be, and how I’m going to get there. Without further ado, let get into it!🙀

WDYRW  Activities

WDYRW or “what do you really want” is a book by Beverly K. Bachel. This book showed me how I can set goals for myself in a easy and manageable way. Throughout this project we went through this book, reading what it had to say and completed activities from it. Overall I completed 6 activities. Below I’ll explain my top 2 favourite ones. 

My top 5 goals

One activity I enjoyed was “my top 5 goals.” For this activity you choose 5 goals your passionate in completing, and then for each, be specific on the goal, talk about how you can achieve it, how it can help, and a timeline in which it can be completed. 

 

 

 

20 by 20

20 by 20 is writing down 20 things you want to do by the age of 20. This was probably my favourite activity. For 20 by 20 it doesn’t need to be CRAZY things, just anything you want to get done. For example, I want to get a job, get a driver licence and grow my nails out!

 

 

 

My Unboxing me Storyboard

The unboxing me video was the main/final part of our project. The driving question for our unblocking me video was “how might I tell a story about who I am and where I’m going?” However, before we jumped straight into filming we needed to create a concept idea. I created an animation in keynote of a general idea I was going for. I’ll put that down below!

How I used technology to conceive, create and a tell a story

Of course, since this is PLP I used technology throughout all of this project. I used it to prepare for my Unboxing Me video, I used it film my video and learn all about how I can set manageable goals for myself.

How did I use questioning to reflect on myself and my goals?

I used questioning to reflect on myself and my goals by asking things like What’s working for me?, What’s holding me back?, and how can I achieve this? Thinking about these helped me see my progress and figure out what I need to change or improve. It also kept me motivated and made my goals feel more achievable.

My response to the driving question

The driving question for this project was “how did you tell a story about who you are, are where you are going? All throughout this project I talked about goals I wanted to set for myself, whether they were big or small. In my Unboxing me video I reflected on my biggest goal, who I want to be, and where I’m at right now. I showed helpful visuals throughout the video, evidence of my worth thus far, and I just talked about myself! I’m exited to see where this journey takes me next!

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, I’ve realized that this project has helped me understand who I am and who I want to become. From participated in activities like “My Top 5 Goals” and “20 by 20,” to creating my Unboxing Me video, each step helped me explore my dreams. I’m excited about the future and all the opportunities to keep growing, learning, and chasing my dreams. Thanks for coming along on this journey of unboxing me!
