Throughout this project we were studying and showing how our agents of socialization have socialized me to become the person who I am today. Leading up to the start of our masks and the essay stephen asked us to do we spent the first part of the project studying how friends and family have formed our souls to who we are today. We covered the agents of socialization and different personality based books and novels. Such as metamorphosis, this novel we read off of the internet helped us learn about the use of agents and how things are a lot more deceiving to the eye until you take a look on step closer. We learned about a lot of other things and read a lot of different books but this reading was the most impactful for me because it was so confusing and at the moment where I thought that I had figured out the storyline something new came up and I was back at ground zero. Throughout this project I had to stretch myself by continuing to read even on the days I forgot my contacts which makes my eyes hurt very bad but I made sure to push forward and stay up to date on my work so I wouldn’t fall behind. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone by writing this long of a paper, it has been a great challenge for me to focus on my school work and it has also been a challenge separating myself from my friends without the teacher so I can get my work done. Not to mention having my face plastered where it was quite difficult to breathe was a great challenge focusing so hard to not freak out and pull it off of my face. I fell short when I didn’t balance out the work between my mask and my essay and I kept on thinking that the essay was more important but what I didn’t realize is that I could have just done that at home and work on my mask to make sure that it is my best work and I regret that quite a lot. Throughout this project I think I refrained myself from asking my teacher because I was scared that they would have given me advice where I might've had to redo my project and i think that was out of straight laziness but I regret that a lot. I think I persevered through this project quite a lot I mean when the challenge got to a point I remember having to take a quick moment to think. I think my mask could've been better but I think My paper is quite good I do have to mention that it was not quite to the rubric as much as would have wanted it to but I am happy with it. I think that this project has impacted me as a freshman in high to by reminding me that high school is a lot harder than middle school. I have learned that if I'm going to get a lot of work done, I will have to refrain myself from sitting next to my friends and just sit alone. I think I developed by knowing that I will need to work harder than I am comfortable or happy with if I'm going to succeed in high school and if I'm going to get A’s Im going to need to bust my butt to be happy with my grades. For example, nearing the end of this project I am starting to feel like I was just goofing off and I really regret this because now I might have a failing grade for this first semester. This project has been a great lesson learned and I hope I can do better on the next project.
