Recently in the Intro to Theatre class, students were
assigned to collect and present in front of the class ten objects that comprise
who you are. These objects help the class understand a deeper side of you
besides the person that they already know. I found this project particularly
interesting: being given the challenge to search for, let alone present some of
my most cherished objects in front of my acting class. After days of searching
for objects and asking myself repeatedly “Does this object express who I am?”,
I finally found ten objects that actually do frame my life out. Some of the
objects included were a painting that I made with my grandmother back in the 3rd
grade, a CD that I produced with my friends this past summer, and a thank you
letter I received from a family that CSO supported when I was in the 7th
grade (I originally sent a sympathy letter to that family).

The Lifeline
Project forced me to look back on the past fifteen (almost sixteen) years of my
life and pick out the significant moments and memories that define who I am
today. The project showed me how grateful I am for all of the little things in
life, from having the ability to record my own music to knowing my grandfather
for as long as I did. With this being said, I challenge you to find ten objects
that comprise who you are; it’s an amazing way to reflect and remind yourself
of what the important things in life actually are.
