This year, our grade-level lens is identity. To me, identity means all the things that make me who I am. It includes what I like, how I act, what I care about, and the experiences that have shaped me. I don’t think identity stays the same forever—it changes as I learn new things and grow as a person.
In Purpose Learning Class, I’ve explored my identity through several projects. One project was the identity box, where we created a box that represents who we are and the things we like. On one side, we wrote a poem about ourselves. On another side, we included a timeline of our history and important experiences. Another side showed our favorite place or something that makes us feel happy or comfortable. it reminded me that figuring out identity is something everyone experiences in their own way. These reflections helped me think about my own identity and how my experiences and choices shape who I am.
