Reflection on Who Am I Bringing to Class Revisions

          Rather than expand and elaborate, I feel I did more rearranging and carving of a specific identity (or sense of person) I wanted to display. It felt overwhelming to expound upon every surface of my identity, and so instead, I settled on the discovery and portrayal of my student self, which I hope will lead to an echo of my perspective(s) on education (both as a teacher and as a student). I neglected to include my class and race, although indicators of these faucets of identity are sprinkled throughout the piece.
         
          My intentions for cutting and moving parts of my answer to Who Am I Bringing to Class, were to portray a specific story or narrative of myself. And I'm intrigued by what I've learned from the process of this piece alone. It feels impossible to solidify my identity even as I craft it in narrative form. When sharing and elaborating on the experiences, beliefs, etc. that have interwoven to create the form that is me, I find that I can still mold and shape (and reshape) that image. I feel as though I'm a moving target.
