Personal display boards

Soo today was the last day of defending our personal display boards.  I think I did pretty good.  We made got boards and made it our personal display boards by adding 10 accomplishments to it.  It sort of reflects on how much we've gone through out the year.  It shows us what we've accomplished.  Also how it changed us.  It was kind of hard completing this assignment, because I had to really think about all the accomplishments.  Also the whole theme of it.  Mines was a garden, and the flowers had to mean something, not just for decoration.  We all had 10 accomplishments and something to represent it on the board.  We started with something empty, and had to fill it up with accomplishments.  I thought it was a hard assignment to finish.  But what was even harder was answering the questions he gave us on Monday and Wednesday, well today.  We had to make the board mean something.  We couldn't leave it empty, otherwise it means we accomplished nothing through out the year.  The items we put mean something, and we had to explain it very well.  If we just spent little time on it, then the board means nothing.  We all started off with an empty board, and had to make it mean something.  If not, then there's no point to the assignment if we don't take the time to do it.
Before I started
I think a highlight would be coming up with a theme for my board.  I really liked the theme of mine, which was a garden theme.  A garden full of accomplishments.  So I really liked how mine turned out.  But the low light in my opinion was defending my board.  It was kind of hard answering about the flowers on my board.  At first I just said it was for decoration, but it sort of went deeper into things.  It was hard understanding the questions and answering.  It was about the flowers and sort of the theme on my board.  A garden with flowers.  What did the flowers really mean.  I said it was the other accomplishments, with 12 flowers on the board.  Which meant 2 more.  Then we got more into it.  It was hard answering the questions, but I think I defended my board pretty well.  The second time defending my board was harder then the first time obviously.  It was hard answering question about the flowers, because while adding things onto my board, I just thought of it as a decoration to go along with my theme.  Now it means more than that, more accomplishments were made.  Sort of what the flowers mean, for the other accomplishments.  With the new item on my board, which was a book.  Added when I had to make a second defense.  For the other flower which like I said was another accomplishment.  This was a low light since I had a harder time answering than the first time, and I didn't like it very much.
Flowers on my board
The lesson I learned from doing this project if that sometimes what you least expect has a meaning to it.  You might not see it or realize it, but somethings have a meaning to it.  For example, the flowers.  They had a meaning to it, but it took me time to realize and understand what it was.  The theme wasn't just anything to make the board look nice.  It actually meant something.  Also the book added to my board.  It wasnt just some random book.  It represented something.  It wasn't just some random book mr.ing told me to get from the table.  It represented the time I got into the problem involved with AR.  It took me a while to see what it meant, but I understood why he told me to get the book off the table.  I was a little confused at first, but I understood it afterwards.  A lot of things have a meaning to it.  We just have to go deep into it and see what it means.  I don't see a meaning in a lot of things, but I just have to get deep into it and realize that a lot of my surroundings have a purpose and mean something.  Like the flowers, and the AR book.  Also my theme.  Of course it has to mean something, if it didn't why would it be on my board.  So it couldn't be for just decoration.
