6 Word Memoir

Everyday something different, Everyday something strange.


I can't help it. I love my weirdness. I also love change. I wish I could be a surfer chick one day and then a geeky prefect the next. I am always looking for ways to be silly and to change my identity. I want to pull who I am from different people and different places I've encountered throughout my life. It has always been that way. My family makes ugly faces- its normal. If you know me, you've probably seen many of my ugly faces before. This represents me always. I want to be beautiful and grown up, yet I hope to keep my childlike imagination forever. I loved this assignment. Its really interesting to try to tell your life in so few words. I struggled with compiling the different themes of my life or the different stages. I knew that few things lasted my lifetime. Family photos always had strange faces and I always looked and acted different from day to day. This brought me to what's important to me now. I have embraced my weirdness and beauty and know that I can have both in my life! Being able to use pictures was so helpful. Photographs tell more than words ever could. This would be such a fun exercise with my students to help them get to know each other and discover themselves. I will be teaching theatre and that is all about understanding people and being vulnerable. I loved this. This is me. Everyday I am something new, something different. Everyday I'm something weird, something strange.
