Mandala Symbolism
A mandala, a concentric structure that offer balancing visuals, symbolizing unity and harmony. Each individual mandala can have different meanings, but its goal is usually to symbolize something or someone. For example, my illustrations on my mandala represents a basic concept of who I am. In my mandala, it looks similar to Yin and Yang ; One side portrays me while the other side shows my opposite. Using the symbols of an animal, a plant, a color, a number, weather, a shape, and a phenomenon, I drew pictures that I thought would represent me strongly. An animal, a plant, a color, a number, type of weather, a shape, and a phenomenon are under the category of my mandala. First, I drew a mouse to represent myself as an animal. Due to the mouse's …show more content…
If I was a plant, I think I would be a rose because its appearance fools others. I am always bright, cheerful, optimistic, everything that says "I'm fine!" ... However, in reality, I am insecure, depressing, pessimistic, and almost always crying in my mind. Just saying that if I was a color, I think I would be purple. It's red (anger) and blue (depression) mixed up, which can end up as weird. I am an odd person and I am not afraid to admit that. Whenever I could choose any number I want, I would want to choose number seventy-three because it's a random number. Also, it's a number you do not see or say very much. I am a really random person, so I thought the number could display me. Being the crazy and psycho person I am, I think lightning would be the best to say that is most …show more content…
My craziness will drive everyone nuts if they do not have enough patience or craziness that is about the same level as me. Like lightning, I usually strike down people like mad and that either ends them hurt or annoyed; they are usually annoyed. If I was a phenomenon, I would be the fire whirls. I think that would represent me since it's a rare phenomenon. I am just like it, but instead of a phenomenon, I am a person. I go around trying to find information of my loved ones, like a stalker, and I give as many hugs as I can to them since they mean so much to me. Everyone who goes upon me, gives me a good impression, and stay friends with me for a few months, they'll immediately be count as one of my best friends. It is not safe, I know, but that is who I

    The Way We See Me

    The way I see myself definitely varies from one degree to another. For instance, I am not at all tactful as I am imaginative. This is another reason why I perceive myself as being slightly quiet. I chose these answers because I know that I like to think a lot to myself and am more observant of others around me than I am of myself. Since I am rather quiet, I haven’t really practiced my communication skills as much as I’d like and thus why I am not very tactful. On a more positive note, I do see myself as extremely imaginative and friendly. I chose to rank myself high on these two because I always try to treat others the way I would want to be treated and was always told that I was extremely curious, imaginative, and artistic as a child. I believe I still am.…

    The fact that my favorite jelly bean is yellow says something about my personality. Firstly, yellows are not usually outspoken. For instance, when my friends and I make plans to hang out I only say something if asked even if I do not like the plans. That is how I act in most if not all situations. Secondly, I have trouble making decisions in a lot of situations. In fact, I spent up to thirty minutes deciding if I wanted to go to a rodeo when my mother asked if I wanted to go. I tend to take as much tie as I can to make decisions I did with the rodeo issue. Thirdly, I attempt to understand why someone thinks the way they do. As an example, my friend mentioned his favorite character in a game was different than mine, so I asked my friend to describe…

    Asked to chose a shape I chose a stock chart. The stock chart represents me because it shows how I am unpredictable, how I rise, and how I show potential. I am unpredictable for example one football game I might get 5 sacks and the next I might get 1. I like being unpredictable because sometimes people don’t know what I’m gonna try to do or not do. Unpredictability is for someone like me because I’ll normally not show up on time but sometimes I will. A stock chart always rises just like me I grow older and smarter and all that. All stock charts show potential. I also show potential because I am just like any other kid. All kids show potential in their own way I think I show my potential in…
