"Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.'
~Veronica A. Shoffstall
My picture is based on the girl with a pearl earring portrait done by Vermeer. I chose this picture because it shows that even when my life is a blur or I have conflicts I still put a smile on my face. Other reasoning behind this is that the bright yellow flower surrounded by black and white shows that I am unique and different. I think this shows my creativity and my personality. It shows that I am very bubbly and artsy. The quote under it also shows that I am independant and I believe that if I want something it needs to be done by me and no one else.
To transform into the person I want to be I will be kind to others and try to be a better person when it comes to helping others and giving back. I also want to live with no regrets so I will really try to think about the decisions I make. A quote I picked that connects to Griet is said by Cathrina about Griet, "She's dishonest, always sneaking around, shirking her work!" I think this relates to me because when Griet is being trash talked she still remains true to herself and thats a lot like how I look at life. Another quote I chose is said by Griet, " I may only be a maid, but I would never give in to master Van Ruijven." This also shows that she sticks to her morals and I agree with this and I plan to do the same.
I really like this picture Erin ! And the paragraph you don't have yet aha
ReplyDeleteYour so pretty, and i think the picture shows your beauty. You will go far with your confidence.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about sticking to your morals. No matter who you are you should stick to your morals because they do in a way define who you are. Also staying true to yourself no matter what anyone says about you. Nice job! This is a good way to go in life.

ReplyDeleteAhhh Erinn!!! I love this picture of you! the way you edited it just makes me smile! I love how you say you must stay true to yourself because that is very important in high school. People will try to change you but you can't let them. Always stick to your beliefs and your morals!
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to hear that even during hard times, you smile through it. I think it's great that you want to live with no regrets, that's something I have a hard time doing, and knowing that you CAN live that way is hopeful. I also like that you want to stay true to your morals.
