For anyone, their life and identity are a mesh of their experiences and influences. For my project, I collected a number of images that show the influences on my life. How they influenced me is between the lines.
What is fear, fear is that feeling that tells you not to do something, or you will get hurt, emotionally, physically, or mentially. Fear is irrational, it is not governed by logic, but by feeling, doubt, and thinking.
My Greatest fear is opening up, showing who I really am in entirety, so my experiment was to reveal who I really was.
What did I expect to happen, I though that we would have some discussion on some of the issues, and that in the resulting discussion, some people would get offended.
What happened was somewhat different, there was discussion on some of the issues, but not the ones that I had expected.
If I would do this experiment again, I would re-word one or two of the terms to be more recognizable, and have more of an official, accepted definition.
For my Bliss Assignment, I spent three hours with my little brothers. We ended up playing on the Wii together, it was fun just spending some quality time with them.I think that the Bliss assignment was very important because we always get caught up in the daily grind of life and never take time just to enjoy ourselves.
One Idea that I had for the “Who you are” Assignment was a collage of Images that are within an outline of my body.

Fear of Heights
I really enjoyed the fear of heights, the fear of other people’s type of fear of heights. It went around the class in a very enjoyable style. It began after a fear of being alone, in a, at first glance, a presentation that put me to a bit of calm. It we also talked about the difference between phobias and fears.
Religion
Another discussion that was interesting was the one on religion. I found out a lot about people’s beliefs, and their opinions about things, although all of the feel good nature of it almost made me sick. All of this was good to get out. I found out there are a lot more Christians in the class than I expected. However, it felt like a college discussion of religion. Politically Correct, until the word SAVED was mentioned, until people watered down the term. During most of it, in my opinion, I have heard more diverse views of opinions in a political class. I also heard a large amount of “tolerance” in the room.
