Conclusion
Over the past semester I have learned a lot about my bucket list items and about myself. As I have researched and written about my individual bucket list items, I have obviously become more knowledgeable about the topics, however I was not expecting the bucket list to help me better understand my own personality.
Since I have written about some of my bucket list items I have realized that they are related to my personality. For example, I have noticed that I as I learn more about a subject I become less and less fearful of it. I have also learned that I love pushing my own boundaries and that explains why I am outgoing and enjoy talking to others. In addition, I have learned that I always try to see myself in others’ shoes and ask myself; what would I do?
Another thing that I have learned more about is the Ethos, Logos, and Pathos rhetoric. To be honest, I found the multi genre project much more difficult when I had to apply one of the three modes of persuasion to it. Though difficult, I have noticed that my understanding of the modes of persuasion has grown. As a business major, I recognize the importance of understand and being able to apply the modes of persuasion. I believe this is why it was my favorite part of the project. I always enjoy projects that are different and allow me to create and show something off. In fact, I made a point to try forms of genres that I have never used before, so I could learn something new.
In the end, I was surprised to see how much one can learn from their own bucket list. I never took the time to think through the things I would like to do before I die and I never thought it could reveal something about my personality that I did not already know. Though this project seemed tedious at times, I am extremely that we did it.
