The end of the school year is near, and my English teacher has assigned one more challenge: a purpose project.
Now, a purpose project is designed to help students find and fulfill their purpose, but most of us, including me, do not have the ability to conjure our purpose out of thin air before the deadline, especially after years of working under a system that attempts to find a purpose for us (#doschooldifferent). Instead of finding my own purpose, I decided to help out my friend Finn with his. In the next few weeks, we aim to design a website that compares and contrasts the major tales of ancient mythologies in order to provide insight on the universal themes behind each one.
I’ll be doing progress updates every week. As of now, we’ve yet to establish a website, but we’ve found most of the sources that we’ll be using for research. There are two big hurdles in the way of my success: my lack of focus in the morning when we’re given time to work, and Finn’s nerdy lectures on Norse mythology. Of course, these obstacles are overcomable, and I’ll have to overcome them at one point or another before the final due date. But that’s about it. Wish me luck!
What's going on? My name is Dylan; I am the mastermind behind this blog, and a cross country captain with a solid 4.6 GPA. I work just as hard as I run.
I am an athlete, a writer, an occasional performer, a skeptic, a philosopher, and a rising cartoonist. I can be easily tempted by procrastination, but when I get started on a project that I am passionate about, it is difficult to stop. I would like to say that I am a comprehensive learner; when I am interested in a subject, I ponder and question until I am satisfied. I enjoy making people laugh as well, and will sometimes sacrifice my pride and well-being to do so. I have found writing and doodling to be a useful tool for extracting weird ideas from my head, and some now consider me a cartoonist. I haven't put much effort towards learning music, but I do love listening to the songs of others.
As of now, I am not as sure of my future as many of my peers seem to be. I am open to trying many different fields, from architectural-engineering to commercial-filming to novel-writing. Whatever I end up doing for a living, I hope to contribute my best to the rest of society, and leave a good impression when I am gone.
