How Creating a Website Teaches You About Yourself

As we go through life, we think that we know everything about ourselves, from the experiences we have had and the lessons we have learned from young. But what if there was another way to learn about yourself no matter the age. When making this website, I learned many things about myself that I never would’ve thought of.

When we think of learning, we think of students in a classroom with a professor explain various topics. They combine verbal and visual explanations, explain concepts using both a “big-picture” and a detail-oriented approach, and give students opportunities for active learning and reflection. But what if we were our own professor, taking ourselves through this path. When making this website about myself, and starting making the “About” page, I struggled to put into a couple words who I really am. I couldn’t describe myself and it was driving me crazy, until I decided to try to look at myself from other people’s shoes. I asked friends and family what they think my strengths and weakness are and started building from there. I learned a lot not just from the things that they told me but from, but when I finally started writing and figuring it out, I started thinking about who I want to be in the future.

We can always learn something new every day, but it won’t always come from others that we talked to or the people we see on TV. Learning can come from ourselves and it can drive us forward to be bright thinkers and overall great workers.
