Project #3

Well, as I discussed in class there are two ideas I thought for project three. One was for retired teachers, stay at home mothers or anyone who has time and trained to home school children that have difficulty interacting with people, especially society. For example my little cousin was extremely shy his whole life and passed away about three weeks ago. Being comfortable with is behavior, we as family over looked his issues and now we ask ourselves why. Why did we over look or ignore his introverted personality? Could we have done something about this? Absolutely. So I wanted to bring awareness in bringing help other children that suffer from this.
The second idea was for twins to confirm to other people that they do have their own identity because people assume they are one soul that dwells in two identical bodies. A twin usually has to live under one of the two identities that are most noticeable to others. So twin stories and their own identity are very important for others to understand. For example my twin sister (identical) was very active as a child. She played sports, had a lot of friends, very social, and always was an honor roll kid, so people expected me to be the same way. I did try to match her at everything she did, but she became irritated and so did I because this was not who I was, it was who she was.
I decided to write about twin identities because writing about my cousin would be very sad for me and his mother. I would have to interview her with questions and it’s not a good time for her right now or the family.
