The Mask Project

      To start this project, I had to think of all the significant decisions in my life. The project started where we watched movies and read detailed essays about the ways you can be socialized and never even know it. I played sports when I was younger, and my coaches have had an essential part in my life. I love to create art through my family and many other ways. I learned to play the piano and the violin. Through this, my love for music began to grow and form to what it is today. To begin to pin-pointing the most significant decisions we learned about the Agents of Socialization, which are Sports, School, Religion, Family, Friends and the most important in this era Media. I chose some that weren't on this list because they were part of my life. 

      During this project, I definitely became frustrated and went out of my comfort zone. At one point I remember wanting to give up right then and there. I took a break and worked on my essay for that day, and then the next day I was less frustrated and was able to continue persevering. During this project, I had to advocate to my teacher many times because I needed help and I didn't understand what he meant by it. This project took a long time and a ton of touch-ups. I am proud of this project but I still think I could've done better and made it more refined. 

      This project allowed me to think about how the media, religion, my family, friends, and coaches affect me on a daily basis. I never realized what can affect how you are socialized. I've always had beliefs but I have never figured out what created those beliefs. These beliefs have made me who I am and allowed me to grow in ways I have never imagined.
