The purpose of this collection was to stress and prove the importance of the outcomes of taking advantage of as many opportunities possible, because whether the result is positive or negative, which both were discussed within this collection, knowledge and schema about yourself is gained. I have personally learned this lesson during the past year, that everything I partake in allows me to continue discovering and learning more and more about myself. Now I try my hardest to participate in as much I can, because learning more about yourself is always beneficial. Plus I never want to be put in the situation where I am older and regretting that I missed out on opportunities that I did not take.
My strongest pieces of this project would definitely be my non fictional piece or the written part of my visual, because they were both about something that I personally experienced in my life during the last year. Since they were both based on events that took place in my life, I was remarkably passionate about them, which resulted in strong descriptions and writing pieces. I related my life to my theme in order to allow readers to connect with my pieces in way a similar way that did.
During this collection I tried a new strategy by writing a journal entry for the first time, and I chose to do this because I wanted to talk from my heart and write about a situation that readers could understand and connection with. In my journal piece I discussed a personal struggle, and how an unexpected opportunity arose and gain me the exact incite I needed.
If I had more time to work on this I would have definitely done more extensive research into a more varied selection of opportunities that teenagers regularly partake in. I would have also changed my theme to something more sentimental and relatable for everyone. As I excel at writing pieces that I am strongly passionate about, and able to touch others; which I found difficult to do since my theme was overly specific. I also would have put more time and effort into my visual, because I lack art and technology skills, I feel this was my biggest weakness, especially when it came to deciding what to do.
