Instructions

This is an assignment designed to help you identify and express your self concept. It is a creative project. You are to put together an essay which represents your self concept (how you see yourself).

Format

The essay should be at least 3 pages in length if you want to cover the subject well enough. I don't need any information in the essay about what self concept is (we will discuss that in class). Focus your essay on talking about YOU.

What Should Be Included

 You want to talk mainly about how you see yourself today, but that may well include your past experiences and how you felt about yourself in the past. You may also talk about your future. I believe your self concept includes and is influenced by (in part) : family, friends, school, ethnicity/nationality, religious beliefs, gender identity and sexual orientation, likes and dislikes, political beliefs, hobbies, fears, failures, successes, experiences, desires, challenges, etc. What you do is part of who you are, but I also want you to share what you think and feel.
