Create Yourself (:

        In class we viewed a picture and it was a birds eye view of a red headed teenage boy. The boy was leaning forward on butcher paper with his legs crossing while holding a green pen in his left hand. He was drawing in his right heel by using cross hatching. The boy seems very concentrated in what he is doing. There are cracked letters on the bottom right corner and it says "Life is about creating yourself." This picture is very powerful because it seems that he is drawing himself in the way he wants to be seen by others. The words represent what he is doing because he is creating the person he wants to be in life. Creating yourself is sometimes difficult for people because it's always easier to follow others rather than standing out. He is drawing himself the way he wants to represent himself in the future and the characteristics he craves. When you create yourself, you're making an image of how you want to be seen by the rest of the world. You are being a unique individual rather than just fitting into the crowd. You attract others more when you are yourself because they see certain characteristics that others don't carry.
