How do things I value reveal my personal story?

    Many things in life are taken for granted. I think life is quite simple, and it is important to enjoy the things/people that make you happy.
    Starbucks' green tea is not only delicious, but it's a tradition. Every Thursday morning my mom and I go to Starbucks together. It's a time for us to talk and enjoy a yummy drink. I will always have those memories when I drink green tea! It makes me feel very cleansed, especially when I am feeling sick. Starbucks' green tea reminds me of a warm and friendly environment.
    I was very excited to have my first car. To me, it represents freedom, but it comes along with many responsibilities. One thing I have learned is to make sure you always know how much gas you have in your car! It's a good way for me to show that I can take care of my belongings, and now I don't have to drive my parents crazy with getting rides everywhere! I named my car Tim and we have become best friends. Having a car makes me feel old-in a good way. In April I will recieve my full, unrestricted license and I can't wait!
   These things are materialistic. They aren't the only things important to me either. Life offers many valuable things, you just have to be on the look out for them. Some you see everyday and don't even realize it. Abbie Murray made my poster in InDesign. I love how the pictures fit together, and the mix of the two fonts in the headline looks so good together! The black gave it a nice change from the typical white background.

  1. I love your Starbucks tradition with your mom! I think these things really tell your story and tell who you are, I completely agree with the car giving you responsibility and making you feel older with this new freedom.

  5. Perfect! You nailed the underlying value that "drives" the ownership of a car. It is like that feeling you got when you took off down the street on your first bike. But you also nailed the flipped side of the "freedom" coin and that is the responsibility that goes with freedom. This flip side is often be discovered when a value is over-consumed.
