RESPONSE

"You need to start somewhere..." my mother said. "Don't worry, everything will be OK! I can help ypu, if you want, of course, just tell me where should we start and what to do, that will be your choice and you when you find out that half of your job will be done."
You now, I like quotes and words that can make me think more about them, about my life and important moments in my past. I like to hear someone's words in which I can find myself, something that I wanted to say, my own thoughts. Someone thinks "Come on, what should have some quote that you can notice it in essay of 1000 words and think about it all net day?" I don't know. Really. I just hear something, or read, and I know "That's it, I love that person, he (or she) thinks like me."
Few days ago in our class, as you know, we read few pages of some essay. That was essay of more than 1000 words with a lot of great sentences, nice thoughts, fantastic examples, but only one stayed in my minds for more than one day, YOU NEED TO START SOMEWHERE.
I thought about it as an advice. Immediately, I could hear my mother, I could see her... I connected that quote with me, with my life. I could imagine person who wrote that. She wanted to say something very important to you, to me, and she did it with only 5 words. For me, that is so strong thought. True. Honest. Something I believe in.
NOw, I have to say something but I need more than 5 words (I always need more). I completely agree with that quote and my advice, my respond on all that is that, at first, you always have to know exactly what do you want to do and what are you going to do. Then, you need to start... somewhere. It sounds easy but it's not. It's very hard, very difficult and I know that.
I usually have problems with that "start" whatever I do. In fact, I have a lot of "starts" and then my problem is to choose one. It was the same this time when I had to do this essay, but I knew that I could do that. So, your start is always in your brain, in your minds, start there. If you have some problem, if you have some wish, or you want to do something, you can. You have to know that you can everything and that's my, your, and our start.
So, move yourself, move your minds, and go... right now. Good luck!
And I forgot something, I love this writer, she thinks like me.

EXPLORATION

  1. When I first look at this photo, I think that woman is very sad for something. Then I think that she is very tired, and then I think more about her and I have a lot of ideas, I look at those kids, and I notice her look, so at the end, I think that she has a lot of problems and she can't find way to solve them.
  2. She looks somewhere, I can't find out where, in one moment I think that she doesn't look anywhere, and her look is so empty, without any feeling. She has workers' hands; I think that she works a lot. And her kids are so sad; I like kids so they are in centre of my view. They are tired, they put their heads on her arms, but she looks like she is not interested in them at all. So, I notice her hands, eyes, kids, look and hair.
  3. Like I said, according to me, this is photo about one woman, about one moment in her life. That' s not any special woman, nad that's not any special moment. She is completely normal and there isn't anything strange about her; I can't see anything that is unusual. And that moments when she has nothing to do, when she just thinks about her life and, maybe, about her past. So, that's why she has so sad look. probably she had better life before and, now, she has problems, bad life, small salary, two kids who want to eat, play, and sleep in nice beds... I think that she has enough reasons to look like that, sad and tired. Maybe, the person who made photo wanted to present something completely different of my thinking now, but I don't know real story about her, so I can use only my imagination to say what is photo about, and I am not sure about anything I said. I know onl one thing, she makes me think more and I don't know why, I would like to explore that.
