1. What do I want people to know about me; what makes me interesting?
2. If there was one thing I would want to "bear witness" to, that would be remembered, whether it be something about myself, something about my family or culture, or a problem with the world that needs to be fixed, what would that be?
I would love for people to know about my passion, although sometimes I may seem shy it does not affect my drive in any way. Passion, to me is more than willing to do what I want or need to the best of my ability especially with great excitement. I think that makes me interesting because most people associate passion with the ability to be loud and boisterous all the time, which I can be the second I get comfortable enough. My passion is what makes me care about the little things. Little things that make a difference though, not little things that don't get affected by society. I guess I have a problem with everyday life, how money affects everything, unfortunately even your thoughts.
If I could put on display, force people to remember something, bear witness an event it'd be the Great Depression. I choose this because it was a moment when Americas economy didn't look so good, not that it does now, but the difference, I would say was dramatic. A lot of what people cared about then and now is the same, surviving. You might think being alive isn't costly because well, why should you have to pay just to be alive? Add in all the factors, the necessities; food, water, shelter. Each on it's own is considered expensive due to the wages of average citizens, Put them together though and you barely have anything left over for the less necessary necessities, like heat, clothing, shoes, transportation, electricity, home phone etc. Or how about the things you have no choice but to pay for such as protecting your health and other things that you may need for work, a disability, children school fees and other fees that could arise. The point I'm trying to make is look at how we live now, paying for everything except the air you breathe, try to imagine the struggles of the people that had to suffer through the Great Depression.
