v. Finding myself through writing thanks to the walls breaking
vi. Discovering my passions
vii. Skills that I learned are countless, but I learned how to find myself because in this class I realized that I was building walls around me and it was my job to destroy them and abandon the playhouse.
6. Part V: Take-away

ii. I started changing and as I did so did everything around me
iii. Once I realized it, it was not too late.
iv. Attitude adjustment.
v. Living within walls
vi. Living in da wall-less world
vii. So I guess we all are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them.
How am I going to show how much I learned? Lessons that I learned in order to realize that I was putting up walls and how I planned on brining them down.
