Today was the first day of sharing our Extraordinary Person project. I was the first person to share today because I was excited to talk about my dad, my EP. This project made such an impact in my relationship with my dad. By having the opportunity to open up to each other. Since the beginning, he was so excited when I asked him to be my EP and was more open with me. We started to text and call each other more, and we were more comfortable in each other’s presence. Thus, when I presented about him, I began to choke up from all the emotions I had. Moreover, everyone’s presentation on their EP was so genuine and heartwarming because you can see their own unveiling of their EP’s past and emotions. Everyone discovered so many things they didn’t know and grew a stronger bond with their EP because of it. One of the most inspiring EPs was Lesley’s grandma, for she always fought for her education and implemented high importance of it in her children. This just reminded me of the saying “you reap what you sow.” She reaped persistence and hard work in her children and that is what she sowed in her own children and grandchildren. It was such a motivation for me to be the best version of myself, not just for myself, but for the people around me. Our elders are such great examples to learn from and gain invaluable lessons for life.
