“You have to create your life. You have to carve it, like a sculpture.” – William Shatner
The weekend prior to this event my parents had come up to visit me for parent’s weekend. Moving away from my parents for college had been one of the most difficult transitions I’ve had to go through, being an only child I never really imagined I’d have to move away so soon. The morning after they left, I attended this event with my friends and enjoyed it a lot more than I had expected to. As I sculpted my pot, I was amazed just thinking about the magnificent creations we as humans can create with our own two hands- the full autonomy we have over creating something and shaping it into whatever we want it to be. It was this realization that gave way to another realization- that I had moved so far away from home to create a future for my self- to sculpt my future and myself into someone that not only my parents would be proud of, but I would be as well.
wow your sculpture is detailed and well crafted. My attempt to make one didn’t go so well. I think this event was a great one, we got to explore our creative sides and also go to meet our fellow rose scholars. It is super cool to think about all we are capable of. It reminds me that the sky isn’t the limit and anything is possible. We should never limit ourselves and should always be proud of our good actions!!! awesome creation!
