Prologue
Based on my list of tweets on the page "Twitterive One," I noticed a common theme. I tweeted every time I found myself being pushed into my future. Or, when I realized when I wasn't a child anymore. This scared me, and still does. Why am I being forced into adulthood when I don't find myself ready for it? Responsibility. My current life in school, with my friends, and with my future career all requires me to take responsibility for myself and my future. I'm getting closer to graduating and am being forced into a career. Yes, I am passionate about my future career in Elementary Education but I'm only 20 years old- am I really ready for it? I have no choice. I must take responsibility and be responsible.

Responsible is my repetend and my controlling value. Being pushed into adulthood means I must be responsible. So I must strive to be responsible, which only stresses me out, which is visible through my tweets. But, I didn't just focus on responsibility. I also discussed accountability, a part of responsibility. I talked about accountability of other people, instead of just myself. I discovered, everyone is forced into responsibility and accountability. It's just life.

This Twitterive assignment allowed me to practice one of the core values of the Writing Arts major: Writing Arts students will be able to investigate, discover, evaluate and incorporate material into the creation of text. I was able to take my real like, convert my thoughts into material, and turn my Tweets into anentire project. The major thing about this project was that it was not created on Microsoft Word but on a blog website. I was able to learn how to use Weebly, and create an entire blog on something as simple as a 140 character maximum tweet. |
