One of the topics I would like discussing in my Unit 1 assignment is when I used to dedicate myself to basketball back in middle school. At that point of time, what will help me stay focused and be good in school was being on the team. Our coach was a sporty guy who understood the importance of school and education. Knowing that, in order to play or stay on the team was to do good in every class and he would check in with the teachers often. I feel like this is a good topic to write about because I feel it combines the aspects of both education and personal narratives, since in order to do an activity I loved, I had no choice but to pursue a good education lifestyle.
A worldwide experience that everyone has been through is of course COVID-19. Even though it’s a shared event with many people, each person has experienced something specific and unique to their own respect. I feel this is a very good topic to touch on in my assignment because I can talk about transitions in my life consisting of a change of interests, appearance, personality, education, etc. A lot has gone on during quarantine that I can talk about in fine details. Overall, it taught me more about myself and turned into a new person.
Another topic that expands on both of the previous topics I discussed is getting into my current interest in technology. To elaborate, exploring into the field of learning different programs, graphic design, as well development/coding. My love for basketball faded away during the quarantine since we had to be inside all day so I couldn’t go out and play. I’m appreciative of both that loss of interest and quarantine because it helped me find my love for tech. I feel this is a good idea to write about because everything connects and leads up to today, which I feel can get really personal and detailed.
