The

daily

writing

assignments

that are

assigned every day

in

class

and the

writing

prompts

have encouraged

me

to

look

at

situations

from diflerent angles.

They

have allowed

me

different

questions

about

all

aspects

we have explored dwing

this course,

which has

to

me having

more

insight

about

each

of

the topics.

This

concept of being

able to

examine

same

details

of

large concepts

is

going

to be

extremely useful

in

researching our

topic

of

faveling and

in deciding

which

infonnation

to include

in the

project.

Our

literacy

narrative

project

allowed

me

to

determine

what has been

important

in my life

thus

far

and

what has shaped

me

into

the

writer

that

I

am

today.

This

qoncept

of

what

has

formed

me

throughout

life

alludes

to

that

fact that life

is

a

joumey

that everyone has

to take in order to

mature and

grow.

This

helped

me decide

my traveling topic

for

the

semester

long

project

because

every time

you

ftavel,

you

have the

opportunity

to

experience a

new

journey

and

make the most

of it, which

is

how

your

life

should be.

The family tree

project

also

helped

reinforce this

idea

of

taking

journeys

because

our

ancestors had

to

make

the

journey to America, which allowed

all

of

us

to

be settled here.

There are

many

different

reasons anyone's ancestors could

have

decided

to

leave

their

home

country

for Americ4

which influenced

my

groups

idea

to

research

people's

motivesfortravelingandthetypesoftravelinourproject.

My main

motive for

choosing

traveling

had

to

do

with my love for my

mission tip in
