Welcome to a writing world dedicated to getting to know the rich and complex you.
This project invites you to explore you. Most importantly, this project asks you to give an audience a bit of insight as to how, and who, you've become; it begs you to explore the you you grew up with, the you your friends and family have helped you to be, the you on a Friday night or the you on a Sunday morning, and the you reading this, here, now.
You're asked throughout the following pages to explore the life you've lived that's made you who you are, and to allow an audience a glimpse at that existence through the production of a cultural vignette.
"Set your mind to a moment. Use all the senses (even the often neglected ones!) to describe it. Evoke emotion. Make us feel"
