Identizine

When Professor Herndon assigned this project to us, I wasn't completely sold on whether or not I could pull it off and be effective at the same time.  I think I managed to do that, and I have to say that I am happy with the result.  It was very interesting to see myself in a perspective that I hadn't previously considered.  I knew my place in life, as I am a: single mom, full time student, employee, friend, and...oh, yeah-a human being!  Then, there's me...at the end of my list.  I am not complaining, as I know very well that I chose this station.  I am, however highlighting the point that I never really examined myself enough because of all the things I have had going on around me, to truly see the way that I thought and/or think about myself.  All of my headlines on the pseudo-magazine cover involved being a mother and trying to have it all.  I suppose that is how I see myself...in the most feminine role a woman could play-being a mother.  That is now how I identify myself...as a mother, student, blah, blah, blah.  I wouldn't have it any other way though, and I find it interesting because the girl I was before wouldn't have stood for this kind of non-conformist conformity.  A contradiction it itself....that is what I am, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
