T-Shirt Project
Above you see some sample t-shirts from Ms. Gibson’s Creative Writing classes.
These shirts represent one person individually and as just themselves. No one hid any parts of themselves to make themselves look like someone they are not. When people presented their t-shirt, they were hesitant. The reason was the fear of being judged. However, after a couple of people presented, people got more willing and comfortable presenting their T-Shirts.
Being yourself shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable!
Being yourself should be something you’re proud of. Artistic or not everyone tried and succeeded in showing who they really are. The classes are so diverse and there were many people who found new friends who had the same interests and hobbies. What I’d like everyone to take away from this is being yourself helps you find friends that you’ll enjoy being around.
