How did creating your own origin myth help you better understand why cultures use stories to explain the origins of people, places, traditions, or natural events?

Prompt Response: 

Creating my origin myth made me realize that different cultures have different opinions and viewings of how humans, the earth, etc were created. While planning my myth, I used used a real life situation that can happen within daily life, and I used that to create a point of view of how the earth was created. I used a friendship that became into a feud to introduce a dramatic effect into the creation of earth.


Summary: In class I heavily focused on planning and creating a strong base for my origin myth. I wanted a interesting story to keep readers invested.


Reflection: I enjoyed planning and took my time thinking about different point of views or situations to establish.

Response: Main goal of the 3 I´ve chosen is keeping God at the center of everything I do. The reason I chose this as my first goal is because I strongly trust my religion and I believe that with God watching over me and as long as I engange with him consistantly he will guide me to where I need to be. The second goal I have for myself this year will be to correct my schedule and ensure that I have classes I will be able to keep up with during cheer.

Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.
