Self-Reflection Powerpoint
Transcript: 1. My favorite band is Hollywood Undead 2. I started studying mental illnesses in 7th grade 3. I hate heavy metal and screamo 2 Truths & 1 Lie 2 Truths & 1 Lie I grew up in a Christian family that consists of my mother, my father, my brother, and my sister. My family has influenced me in many ways, such as teaching me how to manage and control my emotions, teaching me how to forgive others, teaching me how to use logic and think critically, teaching me to work through my problems, and teaching me how to think for myself. Family Family Pictures My friends have influenced my life by making me feel accepted when I felt most alone, making me feel hopeful when I felt worthless, listening to me when I needed to vent, providing opinions and points of view that were different from my own, and challenging my beliefs and points of view. My Friends Friends Pictures Becca Hannah Ridgley Carter Songs Songs I relate to this song because it's all about wanting to find your place and wanting to belong to something. It's about wanting to find a place where you feel accepted and valued, a sanctuary of sorts, and honestly, that's one of the things I want most in my life. I want to get rid of this biting lonliness that I can't escape. I want to be surrounded by people who like me for me and don't just tolarate me. "I want to heal, I want to feel what I thought was never real. I want to let go of the pain I felt so long. (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone) I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm close to something real. I want to find something I've wanted all along; somewhere I belong." "Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park #1 I relate to this song because, once again, it's about taking the pain you've felt in the past and using it to make you stronger. Furthermore, it's about accepting yourself for who and what you are and not being ashamed of it. It's about being confident in yourself and your abilities, and therefore not letting yourself be beaten down by others. As Magneto once said, "You are a god among insects [common people]. Don't let anybody tell you different." "I Am a Stone" by Demon Hunter #2 I relate to this song because it's about not living up to the expectations people have for you and the frustration of trying to please someone and not being able to. You try and try to be what they want you to be, but you can't. In my opinion, it's an angry song about being fed up with the expectations put on your shoulders by those above you and the disappointment you receive for not being able to fulfil them, so you end up accepting youself for who you are and investing your energy into becoming who you want to be, rather than who they want you to be. If you couldn't tell, the songs I can relate to are usually used for modivation. "Paradise Lost" by Hollywood Undead #3 My top three favorite foods: 1.) Sunday Sauce: I love Sunday Sauce because it takes me back to when I was younger, and before all the stuff happened between my parents. Back when things were easier and the worst thing I had to worry about was my best friend throwing a wiffle ball at my face. 2.) My mom's chocolate cake: I love my mother's chocolate cake because it's something she made me every year on my birthday, It's kinda just a reminder of what an awesom mom I have. 3.) My mom's banana bread: I love my mom's banana bread because it's something she's made for my family since before I was born, and I might be a little biased, but her's is hands-down the best banana bread I've ever tasted. Foods Foods Significant Events/People Significant Events/People Surprisingly enough, the person that made me feel absolutely worthless and wholeheartedly hate myself in the past had a significant positive impact on my point of view. It's because of their bs (barbarous shenanigans) that I'm now so confident in myself and won't stand to be treated like a waste of space. So, interesting observation: the person who completely destroyed my confidence was a key factor in me gaining such strong confidence. Unnamed Person (I will call them "Kilo") #1 I know it sounds really cheesy for me to say this, but my friends actually had a huge impact on my life. My core group of friends specifically were the ones who helped pick me back up when Kilo was making my life miserable. At a time where I had no friends and was fighting a mental war with myself, they made me feel wanted. They made me feel like I belonged and that meant the world to me. Additionally, my friends in the secondary ring have played a huge part in many things in my life such as me questioning my religion, how I treat people, and my love of rap and heavy metal. My Friends #2 One event that had a huge impact on me was moving to Indian Land from Indian Trail. This is because when I left Indian Trail, I wasn't really leaving a very good place. That's not me saying anything negative about Indian Trail, I just personally didn't have a very good experience there. Before I came here, my life consisted of bullies, family problems, I
