Six Word Memoir

I Wish I Had Nines Lives

I actually had tons of ideas for this assignment. There were a few six word variations of my memoir but I finally decided on this one because it represents me the best. “I wish I had nine lives” says a couple things about me. One is pretty obvious which is…I LOVE CATS. Any feline, you name it, I am completely obsessed. The image I chose is a picture of my cat, Max, and I. He is back home and I love and miss dearly. As crazy as it sounds, cats are very important to me. I focused on the myth that cats have nine lives because it really appeals to me. If I had nine lives, I would be able to develop all of my passions that I currently have. Because of time and circumstances, I can only focus on a few of my passions in life. I love volleyball, dance, soccer, movies, super smash bros, cats (worth saying again), languages, teaching, food, cultures, etc. I wish I had nine lives because with them, I could do and accomplish everything I’ve ever wanted. When I am passionate about something, I completely fall in love with whatever it may be. Naturally, I put so much effort into things I am passionate about. Wanting to have nine lives relates to my love for cats but also to the many passions I have that I wish to develop. This activity will definitely be useful in my future classroom because it will give students an opportunity to get to know each other but also themselves. They would see how classmates define themselves but also how they define themselves individually. This could be a very cool concept for self identity.
