                                                 First days present a fresh start. You can let
                                                 your past define you, or you can define your
                                                 future. This activity requires you to be
                                                 honest, reflective, and optimistic.
                                               Step 1: Brainstorm as many adjectives as you can
                                               that would describe you. List them here.
 Step 2: Review all of the words in your
 list. Circle ONE that you want to make
 your “One Word.”
 Step 3: On the paper provided, use a
 pencil to sketch/design your word.
 Then choose different mediums,
 colors, images, and shapes to turn
 your word into art.
  Step 4: Write a paragraph here explaining why you chose your “One Word” as well as what
  meaning it will hold for you this semester. Use the back side of this paper if you need more
  room. (Does it describe you? How will you use it to guide you? What steps will you follow?)
