In my experience, freedom means when you are not affected by any negative emotions that will do harm to you on a mental, physical, or emotional level. My math teacher in the 5th grade always preached about a positive mindset and let us know you can do better if you have a positive mindset, and you can fail at something if you are smart, but not trying. Because of this, I try to have a positive mindset. I might not always succeed, but I will try. This freedom project reflects who I am because it shows how I became self aware of my issues. I learned that I don’t have to be perfect in everything that I do; I only have to meet my own standards and not anyone else’s.
