In this blog post I will be taking you through a Wizard-of-Oz journey through my Narrative Project. In the following videos Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had The Brain, Heart, Nerve Wizard of Oz: Meeting the Wizard Wizard of Oz: You've Always Had the Power I was able to relate my narrative scene to the videos by going back in time and capturing important moments in the past where I had to take life changing decisions that have an effect on my life to this day.
How does your narrative allow you to travel into your brain (mind) then and now? My narrative scene allows me to travel back in time to a point in my life where the decisions I took is the reason I am here right now. It brings me back to a time where I was lost and had to find my own pathway. I did not know if my choices were going to result in a negative or positive output. However, I indeed learned from the decisions I took and will have experience in future cases to make the best decisions for myself. How does your narrative allow you to explore your heart (emotions) about the event then and now? My narrative allows me to explore my emotions due to the fact that it has an extreme effect on my future in the long run. It makes me realize how much of an impact it truly had on future, today. In the past, during the event, I was completely lost. I didn’t have a clue on where my decisions would take me. However, today I am capable of looking at how far I have came and how much your actions affect your future. How does your narrative meet the nerve (high-stakes) element of meaningful storytelling? I think my narrative storytelling is meaningful to me and others because of what it represents. Almost all readers are able to relate to my decisions in some way or another as they, at one point, had to make the same decisions. How does your narrative enable you to re-examine the power (agency) you have in authoring your life-story? My narrative scene enables me to re-examine the power I have in authoring my life-story by being honest and relatable to by the reader. It is meaningful to me to have people read about my life changing story and how I am here where I am today. What shapes our sense of identity: Life events or the stories we tell ourselves about life events? I believe our sense of identity is mainly shaped by our life decisions/actions that we take everyday. We each have our own point of view of certain events. Having a different people tell the same story shows the different perspectives and point of views from each side.

From reading your answers, I can see that this decision was huge for you and how you went through each individual scenario in your head to make the best path and future for yourself. You seem to have a great head on your shoulders and are ambitious and determined to get to your goals.

I would have to disagree with our life decisions affecting who we are. Its what we experience and how we handle it in our life.
