Personality/Hope



Artist Statement

The reason I chose this picture is because it shows the light fading and the person is looking at the little light that is left and the reason I wrote this story to tell about the things I went throw and how it has changed me. The story is about how life throws dirt in your face and when you think its better it throws more, and it gets harder to get up until you can’t get up any more. The picture helps show the person in their dark times.


Flash Fiction

There was light in the beginning the air was sweet you could hear the joy and laughter around you, and you thought that it could go on forever and nothing would change it. Until you found your dad collapsed in the backyard, and after that it started going downhill from there. Your dad had a flesh-eating disease and had to have his leg amputated so that it wouldn’t spared due to that he lost his job. Your mom had to raise eight kids on her own while he was in the hospital. Things started to get better or, so you thought. Your dad couldn’t do much of what he could us to, and so you had to grow up fast helping where he couldn’t, then when you thought things were settling down you end up moving. Leaving the only place, you could call home, your friends you grow up with and your safe place. Moving was hard you started a week late at a new school that year was shitty for you. Falling behind in class barely pass each term, school came to an end summer came and gone before you knew it. You were tired of being lonely and just wanted school to start. The school year started you made new friends, life was starting to turn around. You found out what you wanted to do with your life getting in to the trades. Junior year came you couldn’t wait to see your friends next year, summer started you had fun with your family, until your mom told you that your transferring to another school. For the rest of your summer you worried about starting a new school. You started your senior year at a new school no friends and it’s your last year. You think nothing could get worst, but then you find out your uncle has lung cancer. The world just stops the air is salty you no longer hear joy and laughter around you. Your cold and lonely the light starts to fade in to darkness except for that little flame you hang on to hoping that it will start again before it’s too late.


Reflection

People in 1961 thought that your personality was defined by your trades like kind, aggressive, quiet and more. They also believe that a “kind person at the age 20 is still kind at 25” and that a criminal is a criminal no matter how many years and that they won’t change. That’s because they didn’t know a lot about personality back in 1961, but we have learned a lot about personalities since then.
Personality is the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual’s distinctive character (Hammond). Personality meth said “Your personality is your core as a person that makes you who you are” ("Personality"). There are four different types of personality such as Analysts, Diplomats, Sentinels, and Explorers. 16personalities says that each personality has different roles, Analyst are architects, logicians, commanders, and debaters. Diplomats are advocates, mediators, protagonists, and campaigners. Sentinels are logistician's, defenders, executives, and consuls. Explorers are virtuoso's, adventurers, entrepreneurs, and entertainers ("Personalities").   
I agree that our personality is define by our trades I disagree that a criminal is a criminal because people change over time and your personality develops over time as we get older. Throw 16personalities, I learned that my personality type is Sentinel and my role as a sentinel is a defender the strengths of a defender are supportive, reliable and patient, imaginative and observant, enthusiastic, loyal and hard-working, and good practical skills. The weakness of a defender is humble and shy, repress their feelings, overload themselves, reluctant to change, and too altruistic each of these describe me, so you should embrace your personality.

    I can tell you've been through a lot and it all means something to you. I can also tell that family means a lot to you. Your image and your flash fiction go well together, I like how to eyes glow like you're still full of light. Your reflection has a lot of great points that I hadn't thought of before.

No Backbone

Self-Portrait Project Flash Fiction: Some people say that you’re kind, you just see it as looking outside your own perspective. You know that not all of your friends have been loyal and have talked behind your back, yet you defend them and you always make amends. You want to yell and scream because despite all of them being older than you, they’re the ones acting childish. You’re tired of the games and apologizing first when you know that deep down - you have nothing to be sorry for. He flakes, she blames you for her faults, and he chose his relationship over friendship - in the end they’re all the same.  They say that you’re their best friend and then as soon as something doesn’t go their way - well, you know what happens. But, you’re tired of being told you have no backbone because you’re “too nice”. Once upon a time, you being so nice was their favorite quality because they took advantage of your kindness. They took advantage of you. Artist Statement: I’m...

Ripples

Ripples Flash Fiction: no sudden movements.  take it slowly. pace yourself.  you try to listen, but you never follow through.  your reflection in the water will always be marred by the ripples you make.  Artist Statement I chose to edit the photo of myself to appear as if it was reflected in the surface of a body of water. This decision was made to reflect the nature of my piece of writing, which played upon the phrase “to make waves” in order to portray the nature of some of the struggles i’ve faced in my own life due to my inherent need to push forward and push myself beyond my own limits. i chose to add a wash of blue to the photo to express the melancholy nature and subdued frustration associated with goals unmet and expectations unfulfilled. I chose to refrain from touching up my blemishes and imperfections in order to make myself appear just as human and genuine as anyone else who might read what i had written, and could better r...
