This past Wednesday, attending class on campus gave us another opportunity to learn more about our peers through the choice of our extraordinary person. Since most of my peers chose a family member as our extraordinary person, presenting our EP allowed us to share a little bit about our family history and connections. I was able to learn about the importance behind each of our family history and what we value the most. Completing the EP project also allowed me the opportunity to reflect upon my own family history, but most importantly my father’s.
I grew up in a close-knit family that allowed me the privilege to always ask my parents any sort of question that I had in regard to anything. But even then, I still never took the time to ask my father on the details and significance that came with him growing up. Through completing my EP project, I was able to not only ask my father specific questions behind his life, but was also able to listen to what he had to say about his family, proudest moments in life, and biggest life regrets. Through this I was able to further connect with my father and continue growing a stronger relationship with him.
