6Words

My freshmen year of college I attended a small Christian university in my home state of Arizona. That year all freshmen were required to take a class called "Spiritual Life in the Community" or SPLC. This class could be compared to an inquiry class at Southern. However, SPLC had a few major differences. First of all we spent a lot of time talking about our relationship with God, how to pray, and how to spread the word through loving others and speaking to everyone. But what I really kept from this class is how we got to know ourselves.

Each class began with a journal topic or question. From there we would delve into class about the previous subjects noted before. At least once a week we would do some kind of quiz that would allow us to learn more about ourselves. Whether it was the way we accepted love or the way that we learned. What was specifically useful for me in this six word memoir was an Enneagram quiz where we deciphered what our personality was based on a number scale. I used these descriptors to help me make my six word memoir. 

From there I had some difficulty getting my hands on the template for the six word memoir. I started one when I was in class that day, however I exited the tab and was not able to find it in my account. I was forced to remix someone else's remix which I found pretty funny. 

This six word memoir is one that I especially liked because I had to realy think about who I was. When I recovered the Enneagram test, I not only was able to rediscover my number, but I could compare to who I was three years ago; in conclusion I have not changed. But it's always important to self reflect, especially in college where we are given loads of information, surrounded by tons of different people, and are constantly exposed to new ideas; re-rooting yourself allows you to maintain who you are at your core.
