Connecting Something Old So It Becomes New

I picked the activity of finding an old picture and relating it to my life today. This picture was taken on my first day of kindergarten. It is crazy to think that I am already in college and how fast time flies.

            In the background of this picture you can see a bunch of stuffed animals hanging. For as long as I can remember I always loved stuffed animals and dolls. When I was little I thought of them as my friends. Still to this day I have a soft spot for them. I think this has to do with why I’m so attached to my dog and cat.

This picture was taken at my old house in my old room. I vaguely remember how my room was set up, but I do remember how messy and cluttered it always used to be. Now, if you walked into my room it’s the complete opposite. I’m practically a neat freak.

This picture was taken on my first of kindergarten. By the looks of the picture it seems like I was really excited but I don’t remember was how this rest of this day turned out. I know that for my first day of college I was more nervous than excited because I didn’t know what to expect.

It’s really interesting to think about when I was a little kid. Back then, nothing really seemed to be that important or serious. I probably woke up everyday thinking how am I going to have fun today? Now, I wake up and think about the list of things I need to do. In this exercise Tharp mentions the goal is to connect something old so it becomes new. This exercise has made me realize that maybe I should fit in a little more time for fun and relaxation into my schedule.
